。

At that moment, Cressida wasn’t the only one left speechless. Hector and Amanda were just as shocked.

The Everton family had always had some dealings with the Harlow family, so they were privy to a bit more of the inside scoop.

Word on the street was that Bastien had become famous at a young age for his unmatched courage and strength, but when it came to women, he was completely uninterested.

The Harlow family had been tearing the

hair out over his marriage prospects for years.

Hector had even heard that once, some clueless woman tried to throw herself at Bastien, only to get exiled straight to the South Pole.

That wasn’t even the wildest part.

The stories about how Bastien tormented any woman who dared get close to him were outrageous.

Everyone knew that while he was the dream husband of every girl in the country, they were tired of living.

Hector’s mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions.

On one hand, he was terrified that Bastien might hurt Narissa. On the other, he couldn’t help but worry daughter they’d just gotten back.

Amanda, on the other hand, was thinking something completely different. The more she looked at Bastien, the seemed.

She thought, ‘My Narissa is incredible. So many women couldn’t even get close to this man, but she actually managed to conquer him. ‘Atta girl!

‘If I end up with a son–in–law like Bastien, no one at those fancy parties will ever dare look down on me again.’

Narissa’s

eyes swept over her family, and in a split second, she could pretty much guess what was running through each of their minds. She really didn’t want to get mixed up with Bastien any more than she already was. Otherwise, her identity as Fox would get exposed sooner or later.

It wasn’t like she had some weird hobby of walking right into a trap and just waiting to get caught..

So she hurried to explain, “Mom, Dad, Cressida, don’t get the wrong idea.

“I just twisted my ankle, and Bastien was nice enough to help me back home. That’s really all there is between us.”

Cressida put on a stony face.

She scoffed inwardly, “Fake.

‘She’s really putting on a show!‘

Bastien gently set Narissa down on the sofa and said, “Sorry to intrude.”

“No, it’s no bother at all!” Amanda said eagerly, “Bastien, would you like to stay for dinner?”

Hector’s face darkened.

He grumbled inwardly, ‘What’s my wife thinking? Is she really so eager to push our precious daughter into someone else’s

arms? We

have just reunited with him.‘

Meanwhile, Cressida was clenching her fists, so furious she could practically spit blood.

She never expected Narissa to be so shameless that she would actually go after Bastien.

Cressida seethed inwardly, ‘Is Bastien blind or what? How could he fall for a vixen like Narissa?

‘Doesn’t he even care to find out how many men she’s been with before coming back home?‘

“No need, I still have official business to attend to. Goodbye,” Bastien said, giving Narissa one last look before turning and striding out.

Of course, Narissa noticed the look Bastien gave her.

Her heart skipped a beat.

She thought, ‘What’s going on?

‘Is he still suspicious?

Damn it, this man is way too troublesome!‘

“Narissa, what happened? How did you end up running into Bastien?” Hector asked, sitting down with a worried frown.

“How else could it have happened?” Cressida snapped, her eyes practically spitting fire, “She must have gone out of her way to throw herself at him, even dressing up like that just for him!”

Amanda shot Cressida a glare, then turned to Narissa, her voice gentle and soothing. “Narissa, just tell us what really happened. Your dad and I know you’re not that kind of girl.”

“I just ran into Bastien on my way back,” Narissa explained calmly, “He saw all there is to it.”

“That’s it?” Hector asked, his tone full of doubt.

Bastien never let any woman get close to him. Hector wondered why he would suddenly go out of his way to bring Narissa home.

Was he after something else?‘ Hector couldn’t help but wonder.

Hector and Amanda were thinking the same thing.

This whole thing felt a little off.

Amanda immediately said, “Narissa, after thinking it over, I really think you should keep your distance from Bastien from now on. “He’s not someone we should get involved with, okay?”

Narissa nodded obediently.
