An American knife seller? No, please acknowledge me as your godfather.

Knock knock knock!

Inside Katie's room.

Before Lynn could even push the door open and leave, a slow, deliberate knocking sounded.

Then, Mrs. Hill's mature voice, tinged with a touch of languor, came from outside the door: "Dear Katie, are you asleep?"

Upon hearing this voice, Lynn's cold face suddenly stiffened.

He subconsciously raised his eyebrows and his heart skipped a beat.

Before I could even go downstairs to find this ripe beauty, she'd already come knocking on my door?

Unfortunately, it seems the other party wasn't looking for him.

Thinking of this, Lynn turned around and looked at Katie standing by the bed.

At that moment, Katie's face turned deathly pale, as if she had seen a ghost!

Suddenly I remembered that Lynn hadn't locked the door when she came in!

If her mother were to push open the door and see Lynn and herself in a revealing cheerleader outfit in the same room, or even if the room reeked of hormones...

She would definitely die on the spot!

There was almost no hesitation.

Katie pounced forward like a startled fawn, grabbed Lynn's arm and dragged him toward the bed, thinking she would pull him into the covers just like last time.

But the more anxious you are, the more mistakes you make.

She couldn't lift the thick flannel blanket no matter what she tried, and she was sweating profusely with anxiety.

"Oh, sweetheart, what are you doing? I'm coming in."

Outside the door, Mrs. Hill had already begun turning the brass doorknob.

Click.

Hearing the sound of gears turning, Katie's hair stood on end!

At the critical moment.

A glint of inspiration flashed in her eyes, and she used all her strength to shove Lynn into the louvered wardrobe next to her!

boom!

The moment the wardrobe door slammed shut, she suddenly pounced like a vicious dog, clinging tightly to the large pink bed.

At the same time, the door was pushed open completely.

The narrow wardrobe was filled with the sweet fragrance unique to young girls and the smell of fabric softener.

Lynn only felt a slight itch on the tip of her nose.

I instinctively wiped it away, and by sheer coincidence, I touched a black lace undergarment.

But he didn't care at all and just casually tore it off.

At that moment, he had no time to pay attention to any of that; a strange feeling, hard to explain, welled up inside him.

He had crawled into closets countless times when he was a child.

But an adult hiding in a cute girl's closet—this is truly unprecedented.

Through the fine wooden gaps in the louvered door, he could clearly see into the room.

This third-person God's-eye view offers an experience unlike any other.

"Oh, Katie? For God's sake, are you asleep?"

Mrs. Hill, wrapped in a bathrobe, slowly approached the bedside, her wet, golden curls casually draped over her shoulders.

Mrs. Hill frowned as she looked at her daughter, who was lying on the bed pretending to be dead.

When her gaze swept over the pink yoga ball on the floor, the doubt in her eyes deepened.

"Katie, stop pretending, I know you're not asleep," Mrs. Hill called out twice more.

"Um... Mom, what brings you here?"

Katie rubbed her eyes, pretending to be sleepy.

Upon seeing this.

Lynn, hiding in the closet, clicked her tongue in amazement.

This girl's acting skills are more than enough to win her an Oscar in Hollywood.

"Why are you asleep? And why are you wearing a cheerleader outfit? And why are you covered in sweat?"

Mrs. Hill looked her daughter up and down with suspicion, like an interrogator.

Katie covered her face, but her brain was actually working furiously.

When she caught a glimpse of the yoga ball out of the corner of her eye, a thought flashed through her mind: "I'm doing yoga to sweat and lose weight!"

"Yoga?"

Mrs. Hill looked enlightened, then asked, "Didn't you say you weren't interested in these things before? Why did you suddenly decide to practice this?"

"Just bored!"

Katie stammered and gave a vague answer, then abruptly changed the subject: "What do you want from me in the middle of the night? I'm going to sleep!"

"Oh, it's nothing serious."

Mrs. Hill turned her back to the bed and said, "I think I have a pimple on my back. Could you put some ointment on it for me?"

The voice just fell.

Before Katie could even agree, Mrs. Hill reached out and ripped open the belt around the waist of her bathrobe!

wow-

The pure white bathrobe suddenly slipped off.

hiss--

Behind the wardrobe, Lynn's breath froze instantly.

As expected of the United States, the nation that most cherishes freedom.

Mrs. Hill was so free that even the finest sweat pores were clearly visible!

"No, lift it up quickly!"

Katie panicked and immediately screamed as she jumped out of bed.

Keep in mind, Lynn is still in the closet!

"What's wrong, sweetheart? Didn't you always do the makeup for me?"

Mrs. Hill was puzzled by her daughter's exaggerated reaction.

"Put them on quickly!"

Less than a second later, Katie let out another piercing scream.

She pounced on her like a madwoman, grabbed a bathrobe from the floor and haphazardly wrapped it around Mrs. Hill, completely covering up the view that could drive any man mad.

"Good heavens, what's wrong with you? You're acting like a lunatic." Mrs. Hill was completely bewildered.

Without a word, Katie pushed Mrs. Hill toward the door, saying, "I'm so tired from yoga today! I'll apply it for you tomorrow morning! Goodnight!"

"I've already made it through..."

"I'm sleepy! I want to go to sleep!" Katie gritted her teeth and pushed her mother out with all her might.

Just as the two were violently pulling at each other against the door frame.

boom!

A dull thud suddenly came from the direction of the wardrobe inside the room.

Clearly, someone was so engrossed in looking at it that they accidentally bumped into the cabinet door.

Mrs. Hill grabbed the doorframe and peered in suspiciously: "What was that sound just now? Did you hear it?"

Katie's nerves were on edge the momentarily, and her heart nearly jumped out of her throat!

"A rat! It's a rat!"

She quickly interrupted loudly, "I told you a long time ago that there were mice in the room, have you forgotten?"

"You...did you say that?" Mrs. Hill was stunned.

"I've told you! I've told you a million times! Remember to buy rat poison tomorrow!"

Katie screamed frantically and pushed her mother out of the room with all her might.

"Alright, alright... Judging from the sound, it's probably a big rat. I'll go buy some more potent rat poison tomorrow..."

Outside the door, Mrs. Hill's mutterings could be heard as she walked away into the distance.

Katie's eyes twitched as she listened, and she cursed inwardly.

It's more than just big.

That was a monstrous rat that weighed a full 160 pounds and even smoked!

Click!

With the crisp sound of the door locking, Katie instantly collapsed against the door panel, feeling utterly exhausted.

It took me a few moments to catch my breath and feel better.

At the same time, a soft sound was heard.

Lynn walked slowly out of the closet with her hands in her pockets.

In the dimly lit room, the two looked into each other's eyes, everything understood without a word.

Lynn's lips curled into a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.

Katie gritted her teeth, her face contorted with a mixture of frustration and humiliation, as if she had swallowed a fly.

"Tsk tsk."

Lynn smacked his lips twice as if savoring the moment, then ignored Katie's murderous glare and walked toward the door.

Did you see that?

Katie stared intently at his retreating figure, her voice almost forced out through clenched teeth.

"Um?"

Lynn stopped, turned around, and blinked innocently. "What did you see?"

"did you see……"

Katie blurted it out, but her voice trailed off halfway through.

She bit her red lips tightly, her eyes reddening.

How could she possibly ask such a question?

Should I just yell, "Did you see my mother completely naked?"

"Make way."

Ignoring her breakdown, Lynn reached for the doorknob.

Overwhelmed with shame and anger, Katie's eyes flashed and she blurted out, "Is it beautiful?!"

"nice!"

Lynn didn't hesitate at all; it was almost an instinctive response that came to mind.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lynn raised an eyebrow.

Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by this little brat.

Upon hearing such a definite answer, Katie's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, her whole body trembled, and her cheeks turned so red that they seemed about to bleed.

Shame, anger, despair—all sorts of emotions erupted like a volcano!

Lynn paid no attention to the aggressive little female cat.

His gaze lingered unabashedly on Katie's budding chest, and he chuckled softly.

"Don't be too sad. In terms of figure, you are indeed quite different from your mother."

"Good night."

"Oh, by the way, don't forget to work overtime tonight to finish editing the video."

Done.

Lynn turned the doorknob and left with a flourish.

boom!

The moment the door was closed.

Katie seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and slid helplessly down the cold, hard door to the floor.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh.

My heart is screaming wildly!

That bastard! He saw me naked, and now he's even seen my mom naked!

Unfortunately, he was helpless and could only swallow this huge loss.

Thinking of this, an extreme sense of humiliation welled up in my heart.

Tears welled up in my eyes instantly.

……

however.

Katie, who was slumped on the ground at that moment, was unaware of this.

Lynn did not return to his third-floor attic after leaving the room.

Instead, he quietly walked downstairs with an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips.

A kind of beastly glint shone in his eyes.

The first-floor corridor was dimly lit.

Lynn walked down the solid wood stairs with her hands in her pockets.

I intended to use the restroom to wash up first before going to see Mrs. Hill.

But just as he reached the corner, he suddenly raised his eyelids.

My gaze was instantly fixed on the frosted glass door of the bathroom.

The warm yellow light flickered.

"Huh? Someone's here?"

Lynn frowned and quickly approached.

"Lin..."

As soon as he got closer, Lynn heard his own name.

Instantly, a playful smile appeared on Lynn's lips.

Knock knock knock—

Without hesitation, Lynn immediately stepped forward and knocked.

"Mrs. Hill, if you called me?"

Instantly, it was as if a mute button had been pressed inside the door, and all sound was completely silenced.

Two or three minutes passed.

The bathroom door was then opened a crack.

Mrs. Hill peeked out from behind the door, her face as red as if it were dripping blood.

She thought everyone was asleep by this time, but then...

She's usually in my bedroom.

"Is it easy to use?" Lynn's tone was slightly teasing.

"What...what did you say? I don't understand." Hill's eyes darted away.

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."

Seeing that Mrs. Hill didn't react, Lynn grinned mischievously and slowly approached: "Blocking here and not leaving... do you intend to help me up?"

Instantly, Mrs. Hill lowered her head even further!

next moment,

Mrs. Hill suddenly looked up, her gaze intense: "Lin... I can help you up, but definitely not with..."

After saying this, she slowly bowed.

Before she could make a move, a strong hand gripped her chin tightly.

"Want to do it yourself?"

Lynn looked down at the other person condescendingly: "My rules are the only rules."

Having said that, Lynn strutted onto the ceramic toilet seat with an air of nonchalance and coldly uttered two words: "Get on!"
