"Sir, don't move!" Rita yelled in surprise.
Kaleb was about to jump up and ask her what the hell she was doing!
But Rita's scream stopped him dead in his tracks.
"You've got so many gray hairs on your head! Let me pluck them out for you! Otherwise, people will
think you're an old man!" As Rita spoke, she quickly stuffed the plucked hairs into a bag and shoved it
into her backpack.
After finishing, she patted Kaleb on the shoulder: "There you go, sir, I got them for you."
Kaleb, enduring the pain, stood up: "Let me see! I don't remember having any gray hairs!"
Rita, feigning innocence, pointed to the air: "I already threw them away! What's so interesting about
gray hair? It's just hair that turned gray."
Rita: "Sir, your hair is so greasy! I need to go wash my hands, or they'll get dirty."
With that, Rita left, backpack in tow.
Kaleb watched her retreating figure, bewildered.
He touched his hair – it was dry and smooth! Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Why did she say his hair was greasy?
And he was pretty sure he didn't have any gray hairs!
What's up with this girl?!
The last time he encountered her, he had the same feeling.
Could it be... another plot?!
Kaleb hurriedly took his phone to get it checked for any viruses.

Rita ran all the way to her brother.
Proudly, she took out Kaleb's hair and showed it to him.
"Ian, am I awesome or what?"
Ian was very satisfied with his sister's performance: "I'll buy you ice cream."
"Ian, I didn't go to kindergarten today. Will mom be mad?" Rita was happier with her brother than at
kindergarten, but she was worried that her mom would be angry.
Ian calmly said: "Nope."
How could their mom not know every time they skipped school?
But she never scolded them.
For Ian, kindergarten was a boring place.
"Ian, let's go get ice cream! I want chocolate flavor!" Rita hugged her brother's arm, smiling happily.
Ian put Kaleb's hair in his own bag, then took his sister to buy ice cream.
Fifteen minutes later, the two kids sat in an ice cream shop enjoying their treat.
"Ian, what if our dad is Elijah? What would we do then?" Rita worriedly asked, "Mom said he wouldn't
be nice to us."
Ian: "Don't worry, I'll protect you."
"Do we have to acknowledge him as our dad? You said he's super rich, right?" Rita asked, curious.
Ian: "No way!"
At Bourne Mansion.
Makayla was recovering quite well after her surgery.
Apart from refusing to eat every day because of headaches, she was quiet at other times.
Lacey carefully took care of her every day.
It wasn't until the third day that their relationship improved slightly.
Although she still wouldn't talk to Lacey, she would accept the food and water Lacey brought her.
Lacey really wanted to know about her relationship with Elijah but didn't dare to ask.
After serving Elijah for so many years, it was the first time that Lacey saw him treat a woman with such
care and affection.
His attitude towards Makayla and Violette was different.
He was good to both women, but his concern for Makayla was more like an elder taking care of a child.
Whenever Elijah appeared before Makayla, he was always at his gentlest.
In contrast, when he was with Violette, they often argued.
Lacey thought to herself that maybe it was because Makayla had a slightly lower IQ, so Elijah was
particularly gentle with her!
"I want to go out and play." After her headache improved slightly, Makayla made a request to Lacey.
