Quickly wear the heartthrob: She is always coveted by others

At dusk, the orange sunset cast a soft light onto the bustling town of Paroson. As the residents whispered to each other, the topic of conversation was nothing more than Freya's disappearance.

For this reason, adults with children at home strongly requested Sheriff Angus to increase patrols in the town to ensure that no more children go missing.

They surrounded the sheriff, chattering one after another, and their saliva was almost flying into the sheriff's face.

No one noticed the three people who suddenly left the crowd.

Only Angus, in between calmly comforting the residents, seemed to glance in a certain direction inadvertently.

......

Rose Manor has a long history, but it is located in a remote area, with towering high walls and surrounded by woods. It is like an isolated castle. Although it is mysterious, it lacks the atmosphere of worldly life and is completely different from a small town.

Anya hid all the way, following the steps of the two people in front of her closely. Even though she couldn't hear what they were talking about, her heart was pounding as she got closer to the Rose Manor.

Everything she knew about Rose Manor came from word of mouth from her parents and neighbors.

Dangerous, taboo, mysterious.

She had never even seen Rose Manor in person.

People always have a lot of imagination about unknown things, and they are full of curiosity, fear and anxiety.

On the one hand, Anya was worried about Dennis's safety, but on the other hand, she couldn't help but associate everything about Rose Manor.

Her breathing stopped for a moment until she actually saw the gorgeous European-style castle and the red roses hanging outside the white walls.

so beautiful.

"Wang——"

A sudden dog barking broke Anya's trance.

Anya's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously retracted her head, hiding in the alley, motionless, trying to calm her nervous emotions.

Where did this dog come from!

After a few seconds of silence, Anya couldn't help herself and quietly peeked out. Her eyes widened when she saw Dennis following the man into the Rose Manor.

Is he crazy!

He actually went in!

Just by myself!

While Anya was extremely shocked, she lowered her eyes and discovered the source of the dog's barking. A large black dog was tied inside the iron gate of the manor. It was half lying at the door, and its eyes would occasionally glance outside the manor, flashing a fierce light.

Anya had no doubt that if she approached rashly, the big dog would pounce on her and bite her hard.

She sighed as she couldn't get into the manor. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should wait outside or leave for the time being.

*

Outside the manor, Anya hesitated.

Inside the manor, Dennis was completely unaware of his friend's concerns.

He followed Lance to the garden kitchen, where he made him some more tea.

The man lowered his eyes, bent over to make tea, with a gentle smile on the corners of his lips. His semi-long reddish-brown hair was braided into small braids and hung on his shoulders, but he didn't look feminine at all, and his handsome face showed gentleness and friendliness.

Even Dennis, who thought he was the most handsome man in town, had to admit that the other person's face was indeed better than his.

Dennis didn't understand why people in the town always avoided Lance, who was such a gentle and friendly person.

While the boy was sighing, Lance had already brewed the tea and brought it over.

His steps were steady but slow, unlike those of ordinary people, and he seemed a little hesitant. Dennis felt strange at first, but when he met the man's empty white eyes, he realized that he couldn't see.

"Let me help you, Mr. Lance."

Annoyed, Dennis stepped forward and tried to lend a hand.

"No, I'll do it." Lance refused.

Dennis was still feeling guilty and sympathetic, holding the tray tightly. "It's okay. It's just a short distance. Let me take it for you."

"...Really, no need."

Lance still refused, his voice a little colder.

"I can do it myself."

Dennis didn't notice his displeasure at all and thought he was just embarrassed to trouble others. He then smiled and said it was okay and insisted on helping him get it.

Unexpectedly, Lance refused to let go.

The two of them pulled back and forth, and the teacup on the tray swayed and finally fell over, the scalding tea spilled, and the teacup rolled to the ground and broke into pieces.

Oops!

Dennis let go in time and avoided getting the tea.

Lance instinctively let go of the tray until his hands were burned, but the backs of his left and right hands had already been scalded red by the tea, and the burns were even more shocking.

Lance's brows were furrowed in pain, his fingers were trembling, and his face lost some color. Fortunately, this was not the first time he encountered such a situation. He quickly turned around and looked for the water tank.

"Mr. Lance, please don't move. There are still debris on the ground."

At this time, Dennis, who was hurriedly cleaning up the teacup debris, shouted, trying to dissuade him.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Lance had already found the water tank and soaked his scalded hands in cold water. His brows, which were wrinkled in pain, slowly relaxed.

Seeing this, Dennis was stunned, and then he remembered that if you get scalded, you should soak in cold water as soon as possible. Standing still will only accelerate the deterioration of the wound.

Feeling that he had done something stupid again, he wanted to cry but had no tears. He bent over at 90 degrees, and shouted with a face full of self-blame, "It's all my fault, Mr. Lance. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Dennis." Lance smiled, "It was just an accident. You didn't mean to do it."

Hearing the man's usual gentle tone, Dennis pursed his lips, looked up with emotion, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Mr. Lance, you, you are so nice!"

Lance, who was happy to get the good guy card, smiled and said nothing.

......

After soaking in cold water and applying the burn ointment, Lance and Dennis returned to the villa hall from the garden kitchen. Knowing that the boy liked to read strange stories, they led him to the study and let him choose books.

The study has two floors connected by a spiral staircase. The warm yellow light spreads from top to bottom, and the densely packed books are shocking.

Dennis's fingers slid across the books, with endless amazement in his eyes, "Can I really borrow all these books?"

Lance nodded, "Of course."

Dennis looked up and down at the huge study, walking and stopping from time to time. Perhaps there were too many books, and he didn't know which one to borrow for a moment.

"By the way, Mr. Lance."

He stopped suddenly.

"Do you have any books about... vampires?"

Hearing this, Lance was stunned for a few seconds, looked at him deeply, and said, "There is one."

Dennis' eyes lit up. There really was one. He then asked, "I want to see it now. Can I?"

"Okay, I'll put it in the bedroom. You wait in the study."

"It's okay. I'll go with you."

The boy's eyes couldn't hide what he was saying, his blue eyes flickered, his impatience was written all over his face.

Lance agreed with a smile on his face, but he felt a little surprised in his heart.

He concluded that the boy had already come into contact with the female vampire, and there was no way that there would be peace between the two. It would be fine if Dennis was not afraid of this, but why didn't he even have the most basic rejection?

Could it be that... nothing happened between him and Yu Huan?

Lance thought this conjecture was a fantasy.

After all, vampires are not good people.

Just as Lance was secretly pondering the boy's strangeness, a cautious voice suddenly came from the side, "Mr. Lance, your...sister is not at home today?"

younger sister?

Where did his sister come from?

Lance was confused for a moment and subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he met Dennis's probing gaze, he suddenly remembered a certain female vampire and replied naturally, "Um... yes, she's not here today."

Lance thought that she was probably out looking for food again.

"Do you have something to do with her?" Lance looked at Dennis and inadvertently changed the subject.

"No, no."

Sure enough, the boy didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing that he looked flustered and his handsome face turned red for no reason, Lance's mind moved and his eyes suddenly became a little subtle.

This reaction...could it be...
