Chapter 1056
“Thanks.” Ida flashed a small smile, gently lifting his chin to examine the young boy’s face, “Are you the rumored bashful kid? Do you always blush so easily? How adorable!”
Byran’s face turned a bright shade of red as his chin was lifted. He quickly batted her hand away, “What… What are you doing?!”
Ida chuckled softly, taking her gold–rimmed glasses from him and putting them on before sitting down, “What? Did I say something wrong? You’re not a kid? Then why are you blushing?”
Feeling embarrassed and humiliated, Byran retorted, “Why are you so blunt? Don’t you have any sense of shame?!”
Ida let out a soft laugh, T’ve been through a lot; what’s there to be shy about? If you don’t want to be teased, stay away from me!”
Byran frowned and was rendered speechless; he really couldn’t comprehend her.
He had never met such a straightforward woman; she was seemingly casual yet distant.
Finally, Byran managed to speak, “You’re a real straight shooter, huh?”
Ida laughed again, “That’s the first time a man has described me like that; it’s quite amusing!”
Byran fell silent.
This woman was not only blunt but also shameless. She was absolutely brazen! He couldn’t stand her at all!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Both Ida and Byran turned their heads to see a man slightly pushing the door open, asking courteously, “May I come in?”
Byran instantly recognized the man and walked over to open the door for him. He surprisedly asked, “Bartlett, what brings you here?”
“Seems like I’ve come at the wrong time; she’s going to sleep for a while, isn’t she?”
