"Miss Jenny, how did you co here?"
Roland stopped reluctantly and turned around, putting on a professional smile.
Encountering Jenny in the Abyss again was beyond his expectations.
Just monts ago, he was busy planning how to establish the first academy in the Abyss, including selecting a location, hiring teachers, and determining the scope and number of admissions.
Seeing that Roland indeed knew this young lady, the guard tactfully stepped aside.
"I said if you don't co to find , then I'll co to the Abyss to find you," Jenny approached and looked at him with a serious expression.
"Promises are a principle of the Carol family."
"Do you have any business with ?" Roland asked with a smile.
"Don't act innocent. Why did you stand up that day? I asked you to et under the Giant Lamp early the next morning!" Jenny stared at him, her gaze unfriendly.
"Because there was sothing very important the next day," Roland calmly replied, "And besides, it was Miss Jenny's unilateral invitation. I hadn't had a chance to refuse before you left."
"Well then..."
Jenny was montarily silenced by Roland's logical explanation. Her montum weakened slightly, but she still couldn't accept it.
"I waited for you there the whole morning!"
"If that's the case, then I apologize. At the very least, I should have sent soone to inform you. I did overlook it," Roland expressed his regret. He did bear so responsibility in this matter.
Moreover, it wouldn't be wise to offend the Carol family.
After all, they were the actual controllers of the Calva Trading House.
"Forget it, let's consider it both our faults."
Jenny softened her expression when she saw Roland yield slightly.
However, as she thought about Roland's status, her anger resurfaced. She retorted, "You doctors, none of you are good people!"
Roland: "??"
Did this young lady eat gunpowder? She's so hot-headed.
"It seems Miss Jenny has so prejudice against doctors?" Roland casually remarked.
"Hmph, it's not prejudice, it's what I've personally witnessed," Jenny sneered, glancing at Roland. Compared to the flashy young n at parties, Roland's polished, gentlemanly deanor was much more appealing.
When it ca to charm, she couldn't help but be captivated. Just by looking at him a bit more, her anger seed to dissipate.
"How co I've made it to your doorstep and you're not planning to invite in?" Jenny asked.
"You want to co in too? Why didn't you just go ho directly?" Roland glanced at the empty streets outside. How did this woman even get here? He didn't even see a carriage or a coachman.
Roland smiled and extended his hand. "My apologies for the oversight, please co in."
Jenny followed him into the Duru Manor. Compared to the gloomy feeling outside, the manor appeared much cleaner, and even the air felt fresher.
"Did Miss Jenny co alone?" Roland asked cautiously.
"What, are you planning to kidnap ?" Jenny glanced at him.
"If you kidnap , you'll surely fetch a good price. Would you start by cutting off a finger or slicing off an ear to send it back? My mother would be devastated and then force my father to pay the ransom."
Roland: ...
This woman is tough.
"Let tell you, it better be a high price. If it's too low, I, Jenny, can't afford that."
Looking at the serious expression on the girl's face, Roland even suspected that she had planned to kidnap him.
However, he could confirm that Jenny had most likely run away on her own, even without bringing any coachn or bodyguards, and just walked straight into the abyss.
This person has no sense of caution at all.
Dressed so brightly, wearing jewelry worth over a million, and yet she flaunted herself in the abyss like this and even made it to the gates of the Duru Manor without being robbed, her luck was incredible.
"I was originally shopping on Baka Street, and I ran into Charlotte. He happened to give a lift to here." Jenny seed to sense Roland's doubt and casually explained.
But when she ntioned Charlotte, she couldn't help but curse, "That damn Charlotte!"
"Charlotte brought you here?" Roland was taken aback.
It seed off, as Charlotte was his good friend.
"Yes," Jenny nodded.
"He said the abyss is very dangerous, and it's not safe for to wander around alone. When he heard that I was looking for you, he brought here."
"He's right, danger lurks everywhere in the abyss. It's not like Calva where you can casually stroll around." Roland stopped and looked at her seriously.
"Miss Jenny, I know everyone in Calva treats you with respect because of the Carol family, but that ans nothing in the abyss. Those individuals hiding in the shadows can only see the shining gem necklace around your neck and your beautiful appearance."
Roland suddenly realized that Jenny leaving ho and coming to the abyss to find him ant that if anything happened, the Duru family would face the wrath of the Carol family.
Jenny was inexperienced and had an open personality. In the abyss, she wouldn't even be able to walk a single street.
Charlotte seed to have given him a burden, but he defused a fireball that was about to explode for him.
"You're worried about ?" Jenny looked at him, the second person today to speak to her about this matter with such seriousness.
"I'm worried that the Duru family will be held accountable by the Carol family." Roland nodded. "Yes, if sothing happens to you in the Abyss, I would be deeply sorry."
Jenny's lips curled up slightly as she continued walking forward.
"Then you better protect in your territory."
Roland watched the graceful footsteps of the young demon girl as she strolled along the pathway surrounded by golden gingko trees. Her skirt swayed, exuding youthful vigor, and he felt an inexplicable flutter in his heart.
"That's your house?" Jenny pointed to a chic two-story villa at the end of the golden pathway.
Roland nodded slightly.
Jenny's footsteps quickened, and as she approached the villa nestled among the trees, a faint floral fragrance wafted through the air. The place looked elegant and comfortable, a precious sanctuary in the Abyss.
Being able to live a refined and comfortable life, regardless of the location, made Jenny's opinion of Roland increase even more.
Then, they entered the courtyard and collided with a little bundle.
The little bundle, chubby and soft, was instantly bounced back and plopped onto the ground. She looked up with watery eyes at Jenny, and puckered her mouth, but managed to hold back her tears. She asked softly, "I'm sorry, did Dora hurt you?"
Jenny was bumped by the antlers, but the force was not strong, so it didn't hurt.
However, when she saw the cute little deer girl sitting on the ground, she was stunned for a mont, then turned her head in amazent at Roland.
"You... your child is already this big?!"
She thought Roland was a golden bachelor!
But he had secretly raised such a big child!
However, looking at the adorable appearance of the little girl, her heart softened.
She had heard that giving birth was very painful, a matter of life and death. But if the child grew up to be so well-behaved and cute, being a mother didn't seem too bad after all.
With this thought, a smile even appeared on her face.
Just as she was about to reach out to help Dora, who was sitting on the ground, she suddenly noticed the other little girls in the yard one, two, three... orcs, half-beasts, humans, vampires...
There were over a dozen little girls around the age of six or seven.
"You... you beast!" Jenny blushed and turned to Roland, roaring at him.
This seemingly honest guy fathered a whole bunch of daughters, and looking at these cute little girls from all different races, it seems like this guy has quite a wide range of interests.
Could it be that he has a collecting obsession?
Sure enough, male doctors are all no good!
Even though she was happy to beco a mother, suddenly becoming the mother of more than ten little girls, she needed to do so psychological preparation.
And maybe Roland even built a crystal palace at ho, does that an she has to engage in palace intrigue? It seems quite interesting...
Roland stepped forward, picked up Dora from the ground, and after confirming that she wasn't hurt, he looked at Jenny and lowered his voice slightly.
"These little girls are all holess children who just ca to stay with a few days ago. I haven't found a more suitable place for them yet."
Jenny's random thoughts were interrupted as she looked at the timid little girls in the courtyard.
Although they were clean and wore pretty dresses, she couldn't see much of the liveliness and playfulness that should be present at their age in their eyes.
In an instant, she thought of the slave girls locked in cages waiting to be sold in the black house of the Calva slave market.
Their eyes were just as lifeless.
What Roland did was such a great thing, taking in more than ten holess little girls at once.
Such people were rare even in Calva, and most of them were perverts with ill intentions.
In a place like the Abyss, he gave them not only a stable ho but also a chance to survive.
A deep sense of apology surged from the bottom of her heart, and a smile appeared on Jenny's face. She reached out and touched Dora's head.
"It's okay, it was sister's fault for not paying attention. It was Dora's horn that got hurt, right?"
"Dora's horn is very hard, it doesn't hurt." Dora also smiled, looking at the beautiful and elegant Jenny, her eyes filled with joy.
"Sister, you're so beautiful."
The smile on Jenny's face grew stronger, and she reached out and gently pinched Dora's rosy cheeks.
Then, as if performing magic, she produced a piece of cream cake in her hand.
"You have such a sweet mouth. Sister will treat you to my favorite cake."
"Thank you, sister."
Dora held the cake in her hands and thanked politely.
"You're welco."
Jenny nodded with a smile and stepped into the courtyard, magically producing pieces of cake for the little girls, receiving admiration and thanks in return.
Roland stood at the door, looking surprised at how quickly Jenny beca acquainted with the little girls, even seeing smiles on their faces that had been absent for a long ti.
How did she do it?
Just by taking out cakes from a spatial ring, she could bring such joy to the children.
"Brother Roland, this sister is so beautiful and has such a good personality. You must hold onto her tightly." Dora took a bite of cake and whispered in Roland's ear.
