Chapter 153:You're a beast, you beast!
"Miss Jenny, how did you come here?"
Roland stopped reluctantly and turned around, putting on a professional smile.
Encountering Jenny in the Abyss again was beyond his expectations.
Just moments ago, he was busy planning how to establish the first academy in the Abyss, including selecting a location, hiring teachers, and determining the scope and number of admissions.
Seeing that Roland indeed knew this young lady, the guard tactfully stepped aside.
"I said if you don't come to find me, then I'll come to the Abyss to find you," Jenny approached and looked at him with a serious expression.
"Promises are a principle of the Carol family."
"Do you have any business with me?" Roland asked with a smile.
"Don't act innocent. Why did you stand me up that day? I asked you to meet me under the Giant Lamp early the next morning!" Jenny stared at him, her gaze unfriendly.
"Because there was something very important the next day," Roland calmly replied, "And besides, it was Miss Jenny's unilateral invitation. I hadn't had a chance to refuse before you left."
"Well then..."
Jenny was momentarily silenced by Roland's logical explanation. Her momentum weakened slightly, but she still couldn't accept it.
"I waited for you there the whole morning!"Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
"If that's the case, then I apologize. At the very least, I should have sent someone to inform you. I did overlook it," Roland expressed his regret. He did bear some responsibility in this matter.
Moreover, it wouldn't be wise to offend the Carol family.
After all, they were the actual controllers of the Calva Trading House.
"Forget it, let's consider it both our faults."
Jenny softened her expression when she saw Roland yield slightly.
However, as she thought about Roland's status, her anger resurfaced. She retorted, "You doctors, none of you are good people!"
Roland: "??"
Did this young lady eat gunpowder? She's so hot-headed.
"It seems Miss Jenny has some prejudice against doctors?" Roland casually remarked.
"Hmph, it's not prejudice, it's what I've personally witnessed," Jenny sneered, glancing at Roland. Compared to the flashy young men at parties, Roland's polished, gentlemanly demeanor was much more appealing.
When it came to charm, she couldn't help but be captivated. Just by looking at him a bit more, her anger seemed to dissipate.
"How come I've made it to your doorstep and you're not planning to invite me in?" Jenny asked.
"You want to come in too? Why didn't you just go home directly?" Roland glanced at the empty streets outside. How did this woman even get here? He didn't even see a carriage or a coachman.
Roland smiled and extended his hand. "My apologies for the oversight, please come in."
Jenny followed him into the Duru Manor. Compared to the gloomy feeling outside, the manor appeared much cleaner, and even the air felt fresher.
"Did Miss Jenny come alone?" Roland asked cautiously.
"What, are you planning to kidnap me?" Jenny glanced at him.
"If you kidnap me, you'll surely fetch a good price. Would you start by cutting off a finger or slicing off an ear to send it back? My mother would be devastated and then force my father to pay the ransom."
Roland: ...
This woman is tough.
With this thought, a smile even appeared on her face.
Just as she was about to reach out to help Dora, who was sitting on the ground, she suddenly noticed the other little girls in the yard one, two, three... orcs, half-beasts, humans, vampires...
There were over a dozen little girls around the age of six or seven.
"You... you beast!" Jenny blushed and turned to Roland, roaring at him.
This seemingly honest guy fathered a whole bunch of daughters, and looking at these cute little girls from all different races, it seems like this guy has quite a wide range of interests.
Could it be that he has a collecting obsession?
Sure enough, male doctors are all no good!
Even though she was happy to become a mother, suddenly becoming the mother of more than ten little girls, she needed to do some psychological preparation.
And maybe Roland even built a crystal palace at home, does that mean she has to engage in palace intrigue? It seems quite interesting...
Roland stepped forward, picked up Dora from the ground, and after confirming that she wasn't hurt, he looked at Jenny and lowered his voice slightly.
"These little girls are all homeless children who just came to stay with me a few days ago. I haven't found a more suitable place for them yet."
Jenny's random thoughts were interrupted as she looked at the timid little girls in the courtyard.
Although they were clean and wore pretty dresses, she couldn't see much of the liveliness and playfulness that should be present at their age in their eyes.
In an instant, she thought of the slave girls locked in cages waiting to be sold in the black house of the Calva slave market.
Their eyes were just as lifeless.
What Roland did was such a great thing, taking in more than ten homeless little girls at once.
Such people were rare even in Calva, and most of them were perverts with ill intentions.
In a place like the Abyss, he gave them not only a stable home but also a chance to survive.
A deep sense of apology surged from the bottom of her heart, and a smile appeared on Jenny's face. She reached out and touched Dora's head.
"It's okay, it was sister's fault for not paying attention. It was Dora's horn that got hurt, right?"
"Dora's horn is very hard, it doesn't hurt." Dora also smiled, looking at the beautiful and elegant Jenny, her eyes filled with joy.
"Sister, you're so beautiful."
The smile on Jenny's face grew stronger, and she reached out and gently pinched Dora's rosy cheeks.
Then, as if performing magic, she produced a piece of cream cake in her hand.
"You have such a sweet mouth. Sister will treat you to my favorite cake."
"Thank you, sister."
Dora held the cake in her hands and thanked politely.
"You're welcome."
Jenny nodded with a smile and stepped into the courtyard, magically producing pieces of cake for the little girls, receiving admiration and thanks in return.
Roland stood at the door, looking surprised at how quickly Jenny became acquainted with the little girls, even seeing smiles on their faces that had been absent for a long time.
How did she do it?
Just by taking out cakes from a spatial ring, she could bring such joy to the children.
"Brother Roland, this sister is so beautiful and has such a good personality. You must hold onto her tightly." Dora took a bite of cake and whispered in Roland's ear.
