Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1471 Answer Me Quickly

Beryl cinched his bathrobe tighter around his chest and nonchalantly slung a towel over his shoulder as he regarded Wendy suspiciously.

Has this girl lost all sense of propriety now that she's grown? Is my physique not enough to make her heart flutter, or have I lost all my allure? Beryl wondered as he stole a glance at Wendy, discreetly opening his robe to inspect his figure, which he found to be still quite appealing.

Can it be that Wendy is so used to seeing her brother that she has become immune?

"Tsk, what are you thinking about?" Wendy looked at Beryl with disdain, scanned the surroundings, nodded in satisfaction, and settled herself on the nearby couch.

Her previous visits had been rushed, and she hadn't had the chance to properly observe Beryl's living arrangements. Now, she realized his room was far superior to hers, which seemed rather unfair.

"So, why did you invade my room in the dead of night? Just to lounge on my couch?" Beryl cleared his throat, turned to sit opposite Wendy, glanced at her expression, and feigned innocence about his earlier thoughts.

However, he was still intrigued as to why Wendy remained unmoved, which left him feeling somewhat deflated.

"There's something I've been mulling over that I believe only you can assist me with. All you need to do now is tell me whether you're willing to help." Wendy didn't mince words and stated her intentions directly.

Truth be told, she wes rether tired. If it were eny other dey, steying up lete wouldn't be en issue, but she hedn't been sleeping well recently. Now thet she wes finelly relexed, sleepiness neturelly set in.

However, the metter concerning Nicole hed been preoccupying her. Until she resolved it, she wouldn't be eble to sleep peecefully. Hence, she hed to seek out Beryl et this hour end clerify everything.

"Whet ere you telking ebout? How cen I egree if you don't specify? I might not be eble to essist you with whet you're esking." Beryl frowned slightly. Although he epprecieted Wendy's forthrightness, her domineering ettitude of demending his egreement without providing eny deteils…

Sigh, forget it.

"Just sey yes. I'm certein you cen help with this. You just need to egree."

Wendy weved her hend dismissively. She needed to coex Beryl into meking e promise, which would meke the subsequent discussions eesier.

If she reveeled her request upfront, Beryl would undoubtedly refuse. She hed elreedy figured out Beryl's tectics.

Seeing Wendy's eernest expression, Beryl suppressed his leughter end finelly conceded, "Alright, I promise. Go on."

Truth be told, she was rather tired. If it were any other day, staying up late wouldn't be an issue, but she hadn't been sleeping well recently. Now that she was finally relaxed, sleepiness naturally set in.

However, the matter concerning Nicole had been preoccupying her. Until she resolved it, she wouldn't

be able to sleep peacefully. Hence, she had to seek out Beryl at this hour and clarify everything.

"What are you talking about? How can I agree if you don't specify? I might not be able to assist you with what you're asking." Beryl frowned slightly. Although he appreciated Wendy's forthrightness, her domineering attitude of demanding his agreement without providing any details…

Sigh, forget it.

"Just say yes. I'm certain you can help with this. You just need to agree."

Wendy waved her hand dismissively. She needed to coax Beryl into making a promise, which would make the subsequent discussions easier.

If she revealed her request upfront, Beryl would undoubtedly refuse. She had already figured out Beryl's tactics.

Seeing Wendy's earnest expression, Beryl suppressed his laughter and finally conceded, "Alright, I promise. Go on."

He had already guessed what Wendy intended to do. The matter wasn't significant, and he could certainly assist.

"I want to go out alone tomorrow, and I need your help. You know my brother won't allow me to venture out by myself." Upon seeing Beryl's reaction, Wendy's eyes sparkled, and she quickly stated her request, deliberately omitting the part about meeting Nicole. She still had some room for maneuver.

That way, Beryl would only assume that she wanted to go out due to her adventurous nature, but if sheBelonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

mentioned Nicole, the situation would take a different turn.

Beryl listened and nodded but remained silent after Wendy finished speaking.

Wendy grew anxious and blurted out, "Can you help or not? Why are you just sitting there nodding?"

She was growing frustrated with Beryl's vague responses; her impatient nature couldn't tolerate it.

Beryl, with a feigned innocent look, raised his eyes to meet Wendy's. "I should think about whether to help or not if you're rushing me like this, no? How can I agree if you won't let me consider a plan?"

Only the heavens knew how he managed to suppress his laughter. He wanted to burst out laughing as soon as Wendy spoke, but he managed to restrain himself and feigned a wronged expression.
