Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

Hearing this, Gwen smiled and shook his head, stood up from the bed, pressed Rita's shoulders and pushed her onto the sofa beside him. He then went to the water dispenser to get two glasses of water, handed one to Rita, and drank the other himself.

"How's Bronya doing? Are the kids not too upset?"

"As you said, Ms. Bronya is more than just a companion to the children in the orphanage.

With her comfort, the children have temporarily fallen asleep in the guest rooms arranged by the Eastern European branch.

After Miss Xing regained consciousness, she asked to see you, but was persuaded to leave by Miss Bronya.

Although Rita was a little surprised by Gwen's actions, she did not stand up again. Instead, she held the warm water handed to her by Gwen in both hands and continued to speak slowly.

As she spoke, it seemed as if she had thought of something interesting, and the curve of Rita's lips couldn't help but become a little warmer.

"As for Xing, Bronya can indeed be easily subdued."

Gwen nodded, but did not sit back on the bed. Instead, he sat directly on the wide armrest of the sofa where Rita was sitting.

"I'll look at the properties I own later and choose a suitable place to house these children. This will also help reduce Bronya's expenses."

"Meeting you may be the luckiest thing that has ever happened to Miss Bronya in her life."

Hearing that Gwen was concerned about Bronya as soon as he woke up, Rita couldn't help but smile.

"There's probably no hope."

Gwen smiled and shook his head when he heard this.

"For Bronya, the luckiest thing that could have happened was meeting Seele..."

As he spoke, Gwen changed the subject—

"Speaking of which, Rita, since you slept for a while earlier, could you talk to me now?"

"of course."

Rita smiled and nodded.

"Although not very professional, Rita did obtain a license as a psychologist."

"Sure enough, Rita, your hard work is no less than that of Youlan Dell..."

Gwyn sighed and looked at Rita beside him, but the smile on his lips quietly became more meaningful.

"Come to think of it, Rita, I remember you said I was saved from a minor collapse by you and Yulan Dell. Can you tell me where that was?"

"of course."

Although Rita felt a little uncomfortable because of the close distance between her and Gwyn, she did not lose her composure. The smile on her pretty face did not change at all, and she slowly said the information that had been written into the file long ago.

"But, in my gradually clearer memory, the place where I used to live was not there..."

Hearing this, Rita did not immediately refute anything. She stared at Gwen's face, which was familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar to her, with a playful smile on it, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind.

After a moment, the smile on her pretty face that seemed to never disappear quietly faded away.

Rita sighed softly, revealing a somewhat complicated expression:

"Have you noticed it yet?"

Listening to Rita's somewhat heavy words, the playful look on Gwen's face faded a little. He put away the playful thoughts in his mind and reached out to gently smooth the wrinkled brows of the beauty beside him.

Facing Rita's puzzled gaze, Gwen smiled, but slid and sat directly next to Rita.

Although this was a double sofa, because of Gwen's actions, their bodies were still close together.

Because of Gwen's sudden action, Rita's delicate body couldn't help but stiffen a little -

Although Rita was already a mature girl, this was also the time in her life when she was closest to a member of the opposite sex other than her father.

Through their not-so-thick clothes, Rita could even feel Gwen's slightly hot body temperature.

"To be precise, I didn't just notice it, but I already knew the whole truth...

Or maybe... a little more than you?"

It was rare to see Rita looking so mischievous. Although Gwen had given up the idea of teasing her, he still felt a little restless in his heart, and said with a smile.

"..."

Hearing Gwen's words, Rita fell silent again, but a brainstorming session started in her mind -

"Lord Gwyn already knows the truth of the matter...

Did the Bishop tell him the truth?

Or... has the Bishop mobilized Yu Duchen again?

If it is the former... is it because Lord Gwyn's strength has reached a level that even the bishop needs to treat with caution?

Or has he made a new plan?

If it’s the latter…”

Just as Rita was thinking quickly, a not-so-severe pain suddenly came from her forehead, which woke Rita up from her thoughts.

Her shoulders were held down by a not-so-strong but irresistible force. She turned slightly, and when she raised her head, she met Gwen's eyes with a gentle smile.

“Okay, Rita, stop overthinking it and just ask any questions you have.

I don’t want you to get wrinkles from thinking too long.”

As he spoke, Gwen raised one hand and stroked Rita's forehead, which was wrinkle-free.

"That……"

Looking at Gwen's smile, which was very familiar to her, but more frank than her own, Rita hesitated and put aside her thoughts for the time being, and tried to speak -

332

Chapter 332 Apology and Thank You.

"Can you tell Rita how you know the truth?"

Although she believed that cooperating with Otto's concealment was the best choice for Gwyn at the time, Rita was still a little uneasy when facing Gwyn who already knew the truth.

It wasn't because he was worried that he would be hurt by the dissatisfied Gwen, but a more simple and direct worry—

He was worried that this incident would create another barrier between him and Gwyn, and that the two hearts, which were already separated by a distance, would become completely distant.

Looking at the trembling waves in Rita's eyes, and looking at his own figure reflected in those eyes, Gwen's gentle smile remained unchanged -

"It's very simple. Our Bishop Otto told me—

I demonstrated the strength and threat that he had to face, and gave him what he wanted.

In return for the favor, he told me about this...

Although I think this may be part of his plan, in fact, he did tell me the truth directly.

I was rescued by you and Yulan Dell after you returned from your mission in the Quantum Sea, and brought back to the present world.

In order to help me better integrate into this world, you created a false origin and identity for me."

"……Feel sorry."

Hearing Gwen tell the truth in such a relaxed tone, Rita pursed her lips and spoke softly.

"What's there to apologize for?"

Seeing that Rita seemed to care about this, Gwen smiled.

"After all, Rita, you made this choice for my own good.

Besides, the plan was made by Otto, and you were just an executor. You didn't cause any harm to me. On the contrary, you helped me integrate into this world smoothly.

I also want to say thank you.”

"Um……"

Seeing that Gwen really didn't seem to care at all, Rita nodded slightly and then asked a few more questions. Gwen also told her everything he knew.

As they asked and answered questions, the previous silence and awkwardness slowly dissipated, and the atmosphere between the two became harmonious.

"Okay, it's getting late, Rita, you should go back and get some rest. Staying up too late is not good for your skin."

After chatting for a long time, Gwen looked at the time and prepared to send Rita back to rest.

"Then Rita will take her leave first."

Rita, whose usual smile had returned to her pretty face, nodded and slowly stood up.

Gwen also stood up and walked Rita to the door.

However, after her hand touched the door handle, Rita paused for a moment, and as if she had made up her mind, she slowly turned around and looked at Gwen with her beautiful wine-red eyes:

"Lord Gwyn, please forgive Rita's intrusion...

Do you really... not mind Rita's previous deception?"

Although Gwen had expressed an indifferent attitude, after the questions and answers just now, Rita discovered that Gwen knew much more than she had imagined.

However, this discovery made Rita feel uneasy again, urging her to ask again before leaving.

"Ok?"

Sensing the unconcealable uneasiness and uneasiness in Rita's words, Gwen raised his eyebrows and then nodded vigorously.

"Of course, I believe Rita did that for my own good."

"Um……"

After receiving Gwen's affirmative answer without hesitation again, Rita pursed her red lips and nodded slightly.

The next moment, Rita suddenly stood on tiptoe, tilted her head back, and pressed her pale pink lips, like petals, against Gwyn's lips.

Anxious, at ease, relaxed, calm...

Although it was the first kiss in his life, Gwen unexpectedly read all these emotions from the slightly trembling lips.

Of course, in addition to these emotions that Gwyn sensed with his keen spiritual perception, Gwyn also made the most intuitive discovery -

Youthful.

The omnipotent maid is obviously not good at kissing. If Gwyn were to comment on it, he might even say "strong force works miracles".

However, without giving the equally inexperienced Gwen a chance to try, Rita had already put down her tiptoed feet. Her breathing became a little heavy, and a smile that was very familiar to Gwen appeared on her pretty face with two blushes.

"Although you don't mind, Rita is still very sorry for the previous deception.

Consider this as Rita's apology for her own decision. Please don't be offended."

After saying this somewhat awkwardly, Rita turned and tried to leave.

Although she is already a mature girl, Rita, who just gave her first kiss, still finds it difficult to maintain her usual smiling attitude.

However, before Rita turned around and opened the door, her slender hand was grabbed, and then her whole body was turned around and fell into a broad chest.

The next moment, before Rita could say anything, the familiar scent that she had just tasted came again with the same awkward kiss.

Rita, who was suddenly attacked, couldn't help but widen her beautiful wine-red eyes, but feeling the heat on her lips, Rita slowly closed her eyes and responded to Gwen in a naive manner.

After a long while, Gwen, finally satisfied, raised his head and looked at Rita, whose face was already red. He imitated Rita's tone and said:

“Maybe you don’t care, Rita, but I do appreciate your white lie before.

And this... can be considered as my thank you gift..."

"!"

Hearing this, Rita, who had her eyes tightly closed, couldn't help but open her watery eyes. Looking into Gwen's smiling eyes, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of resentment. She had already hugged Gwen during the long kiss, but now she withdrew her hands and lightly hit Gwen's chest to express her dissatisfaction.

Feeling the force that was more like a massage than revenge, Gwen felt at ease.

Looking at the delicate lips of the shy beauty, Gwyn couldn't help but feel aroused again.

As if she had sensed Gwen's gaze, Rita, whose heart was beating rapidly, finally realized her dangerous situation. She jumped out of Gwen's arms and said quickly:

"Lord Gwyn, it's getting late. You should get some rest. Rita will take her leave now..."

However, Rita, who was trying to escape in a hurry, was caught by Gwen again.

However, this time, Gwen did not pull Rita into his arms again, but instead whispered a reminder with a smile in his voice -

"Rita, if you go out like this now, if someone sees you, I'm afraid rumors will spread."

"Well……"
