By the time lan returned from the balcony after making the call, Kelly had already prepared a table full of food.
She waved at him and said, "Mr. Walter, come and eat."
Dinner was prepared to lan's taste. Since he had been injured previously, some ingredients that were beneficial for his recovery were added.
Kelly thought, 'I feel like I've been really putting my heart and soul into taking care of lan lately, being so attentive. If he still doesn't forgive me after all that I've done, I really don't know what to do.'
"Sit here, Mr. Walter," Kelly said. She stood up and pulled out a chair for lan.
lan remained silent and expressionless. He simply nodded faintly and sat down.
"Try it," Kelly said. "How's the food today?" She ingratiatingly served lan, picking up a bit of each dish for him.
lan's heart was practically blooming with happiness, but on the surface, he remained reserved, wearing an indifferent expression and eating with elegant
gestures.
Kelly did not eat much. Instead, she kept observing lan.
She was very sensitive to lan's emotions, especially when it came to anger. If he showed even the slightest hint of being upset, Kelly could pick up on it.
After observing for a long while, she noticed that lan's attitude was very calm. Not only was there no trace of anger, but there was also a strange emotion lingering around him.
This emotion was very strange, seemingly joyful yet tinged with restraint. In any case, it was filled with contradictions.
Kelly could not quite pinpoint it, but the only thing she could be sure of was that lan was not angry.
"This is all that matters,' she thought.
She licked her lips, gripping the fork tightly in her right hand and looking

somewhat nervous. "Mr. Walter, do you remember when Brenda came yesterday?" she asked.
lan did not have a strong impression of other people. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "Yes."
Kelly bit her lower lip, wanting to apologize to lan on behalf of Brenda.
However, after thinking about it for a while, she realized that this was not a good idea. In the past, when such incidents happened, she had also tried to intercede for others, but it did not have much of an effect. She thought, 'lan is a narrow-minded person who holds a grudge and seeks revenge for even minor slights, so a simple apology won't work. It's not strong enough. I need to do something that is more impactful.
After thinking it over, Kelly spoke with anger that was driven by a sense of justice. “Mr. Walter, I'm no longer friends with Brenda!" she said.
"Hmm?" lan replied. His voice was low with a slightly uplifted tone at the end. "Why?"
"Because she said something negative about you!" Kelly snorted coldly and said. "That's too much! She actually said that you're a kept man. I had a big argument with her, even though the reason she called you a 'kept man' is because you look handsome and have that look of wanting to live off a woman. She was momentarily stunned, so she blurted it out."
As Kelly spoke, she looked at lan's expression. At first, he was surprised. Then, he looked puzzled. Finally, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He seemed to be in a very good mood.
Kelly knew that she had done the right thing.
She continued, "Although there's a reason behind that remark, she did offend you at the end of the day. That is unacceptable. Mr. Walter, don't worry. You don't need to handle this matter personally. Leave it to me."
"Leave it to you?” lan said as he leaned back in his chair. His eyes were as exquisite and beautiful as breathtaking landscapes. He said with a faint smile, "Why should I leave it to you?"
Kelly was at a loss for words. While she was panicking, she suddenly thought

of something and said, "Mr. Walter, let me protect you!"
When Kelly said this, her tone was extremely firm, and her eyes shone with remarkable determination.
She was dressed in a set of red loungewear, resembling molten lava, and it instantly seared into lan's heart, causing an instinctive flutter in his heart.
He thought, 'Protect... she said she wants to protect me!'
lan lowered his head. In his eyes, there were surging waves, like tumultuous rivers and vast landscapes. Then, everything returned to calm. It was as if a deep pool of energy had returned to silence. After Kelly finished talking, she looked at lan nervously. When she noticed that lan had his head lowered, she immediately became nervous.
She thought, 'Could it be that Mr. Walter still doesn't want to forgive Brenda? No way, that would be too petty!'
She was a little dejected, but she did not dare to anger lan. She could only ask cautiously, "Mr. Walter, you're not willing, huh? If you're not willing, then..."
Before she finished talking, lan interrupted her coldly, saying, "I'll leave it to you."
'What does that mean?' she thought.
Kelly was a little bewildered. It took her a moment to realize that lan had agreed. She thought, 'He has agreed to entrust this matter to me. That's great!' "Thank you," Kelly said, feeling overjoyed. "Mr. Walter, you're really
magnanimous. You have a heart that is as vast as the ocean. You're the kindest person."
lan did not say anything. He kept his head lowered, not uttering a word, but his ears quietly turned red.
