Chapter 203

Edda took Alaric into the kitchen, leaving Daphne and Lionel alone in the living room.

Edda hissed at Alaric, “What’s gotten into you today? Didn’t you see my favorite celeb sitting out there? Are you jealous or something?”

“I’ve been jealous for the past forty years.” Alaric was never one for comeback, so he shut up after one sentence, glancing in the direction of the living room. He whispered to Edda, “Look, this Lionel is a playboy, plus he’s pretty good-looking. Our daughter is not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. She’s inherited your fangirl genes. If she gets seduced by Lionel, she’s gonna be heartbroken! Don’t you know he changes girlfriends like he changes his clothes?”

Edda was left speechless by Alaric’s words, finally mumbling, “They’re just good friends…”

“Good friends? Do you even know what ‘friends’ of the opposite sex mean to young people these days?” Alaric frowned in disgust.

Edda shouted, “You know everything! You’re always right!”

Alaric was speechless.

Living Room.

Lionel was examining a photo of Nigel in his hand. Daphne promptly covered the photo with her hand, “Lord Lion, you’ve gone out of your way to bring me the key. I’m so embarrassed. Couldn’t you just have called me?”

“Daphne.” Lionel looked up at her, his deep, beautiful eyes sparkling like a crystal-clear lake..

Daphne hurriedly closed her eyes, and when she opened them, she was determined not to be swayed by him.

“What’s this guy’s name?” he asked.

Feeling Lionel’s intense gaze, Daphne blurted out, “Nigel.”

As soon as her words fell, Lionel suddenly looked towards the kitchen and said, “Nigel, that’s a nice name.””

Who was he putting on this show for? His words clearly didn’t sound genuine.

As expected, Lionel turned back to her after saying this and whispered, “So, do you think Nigel is a nice name, or is Lionel a better one?”

With Lionel himself right in front of her, Daphne, ever the opportunist, didn’t hesitate to answer, “Of course your name is better! Lionel, Lord Lion. What a powerful
