Chapter 187
Roderick was bewildered by the sudden attack of the angry-looking dog toward them, but he didn't flinch. Meanwhile, Kate's heart skipped a beat, and she closed her eyes tightly in shock and fear of what her fate might be in the next moment.WHOOOF! WHOOOF! The dog let out his anger as he jumped on them, causing the mountain of boxes in Kate's hands to crash to the floor and the contents to scatter around.This nearly made her pass out as the whole world seemed to pause before her eyes.Just then, she began to hear the dog panting softly. WUHHH! WUHHH!Kate was too afraid to open her eyes and see the damage the dog might have caused—not until she heard Roderick's voice calming the dog. "Ruk! Calma! Calma!"Kate slowly opened her tightly shut eyes and was surprised to see Roderick stroking the side of the dog's neck.The lady's eyes opened wide in disappointment as she asked Roderick with a frowning face, "Mr. Holmes, was this the surprise you had for me, or was this just an accident?"

Roderick's face frowned with a bit of worry as he received the message. The situation, which continued to keep him in a tight corner, became more difficult for him to understand.At first, they were unable to find a vacant apartment. In the end, they secured a place, but it was opposite Old Santos's new home.Roderick wondered how he was going to explain things to Mrs. Dalton if she accidentally found them together.Kate Bolton is a prominent figure. Being seen with someone of such high status would lead to endless questions from Mrs. Dalton.This left Roderick with another round of worry.He thought he needed to be careful and watchful not to let Mrs. Dalton see him with Kate.In the end, he felt that saying it was easy—but what if the unexpected happened? How would he handle it?While he was pondering this, he received a new text from Kate."Mr. Holmes, I just arrived in front of an apartment down the street, and my instinct says, 'That's where you live.' Can you please open the doo

Roderick felt his forehead instantly covered with sweat as soon as he saw the message.There was no doubt that Kate had a great interest in Roderick. Given that, no matter what Roderick did to her, she wouldn’t even get angry. Instead, she would find a way to settle the matter brilliantly.Roderick had promised to come and pick her up at the junction, but she hadn’t seen a light from him after a couple of minutes. Wasn’t she supposed to get angry about it? With the thought that Roderick didn’t value her.But not Kate. She had different thoughts about the matter instead.She felt she was the one at fault for showing up at Roderick’s place unannounced. Given that, he would have to hurry quickly to tidy his home to receive her.Kate was the type who believed strongly in her instinct. Then, she thought of putting her instinct to use and followed it to find Roderick’s place.To her, it was just a form of adventure. She had relied on her instinct to locate places in the past, although not e
Chapter 184
Roderick's brows lit up instantly, as he had never expected the lady to pay so much attention to Tony's appearance.Naturally, Tony had such a frightening and overbearing gaze. This was because his being had been intensely shaped by the warfront lifestyle.Tony is a lieutenant who has fought in several deadly wars and come out alive. It wasn't surprising that he carried such a scary gaze.It was the result of the blood and death he had confronted on the war front line. He was now at the point where he didn't fear death, but death feared him.Imagine what the gaze of such a person would look like?Roderick hadn't said anything when the lady's voice came through again. "You haven't said anything, Roderick. Don't you think staying around such a friend is quite dangerous?"Then, he waved his hands in the air as he understood the lady's concern. "I understand your concern, Mrs. Dalton. But Tony's not a dangerous person. His looks might be scary, but he has a good heart."These are some of

The lady was surprised to hear that. She was aware of Roderick's financial capability and was worried that he must have inconvenienced himself to make such a provision.Then, she turned to ask him, "Roderick, I hope this didn't cost you too much and won't affect you? I have a few thousand dollars with me. You can have it to cover part of the bill."She was about to reach out for the cash when Roderick quickly stopped her."That's not necessary, Mrs. Dalton. Keep the money with you; it will be useful for your other expenses in the future. Besides, the apartment doesn't cost that much. So, you shouldn't be worried about me."Emotions took over the lady's heart as she gazed at Roderick with concern. She was moved by his good heart. Despite having only a little, he was still so generous in looking out for her and the old man."Thank you so much, Roderick, for all you do. I believe someday Mr. Santos Sr. will get well to appreciate all you have done for him," Mrs. Dalton couldn't help but

Roderick's words were plain and straightforward, and they all got stunned. With the confidence on his face, they could tell he wasn't bluffing.However, they had always known Roderick as a nobody. This made them have slight doubts in their minds about whether he was really capable of handling the matter.This was the thought of the Santos family members except for Felicia. She didn't mind giving Roderick the go-ahead right away to help them.It was truly a nightmare for her to become insignificant in Glacia City after being known as the CEO of Santos Corporation.For that reason, she thought that if they failed to find a way to get back on their feet financially, there was no way she wouldn't end up being insignificant.Given the fact that the price proposed for the old building they were about to sell wasn’t even close to over a hundred million dollars, Jonah had stolen from them.Automatically, she settled on having their stolen money back as the best option.She was about to agree
