The Killer Queen with Multiple Disguises

Chapter 40 Childe King Developing Feelings for Ms. Ellis

Preston had never imagined that he would be protected by Hedy in this

way.

When it came to games and such, they were not his strong suit.

He found an excuse to exit the game, and a faint smile played on his lips.

Aiden stood behind him, looking puzzled.

“If you want to pursue Ms. Ellis, why don’t you tell her who you are?”

If Ms. Ellis knew that Leo was Childe King, she would express gratitude towards him.

“With her personality, if she found out that Leo was me, she would be racking her brains right now, trying to figure out how to repay my 50 million.”

Preston walked over to the floor–to–ceiling window, and his deep and elegant voice carried a hint of tenderness.

From playing chess to being a gaming partner, he could sense her determination.

There was a thread pulling her, demanding that she fulfill a certain condition, and she couldn’t afford to be negligent or make any mistakes.

This was her secret, and he didn’t want to pry.

All he wanted to do was help her within his capabilities and alleviate

her pressure.

As for who Leo was, she didn’t need to know.

Upon hearing his words, Aiden couldn’t help but hold his breath, with only one thought in his mind:

Childe King had developed feelings for Ms. Ellis.

The distinguished man that countless unmarried women dreamed of had fallen for an assassin.

“As for the BiTu Gaming, do you need me…” Aiden was about to mention the rule change.

It was an open act of bullying against Ms. Ellis.

“No need. They know what to do.”

A gust of cold wind swirled around him.

In the guest room.

Hedy shut down her computer, freshened up, and walked into the master bedroom.

There, the heir of the thousand–year–old noble family was leaning against the headboard, engrossed in reading a German book. The distinct knuckles on his fingers and his serious yet handsome expression caught her attention.

In silence, she slipped under the thin blanket and nestled close to Preston, closing her eyes.
