Her face instantly flushed red. She quickly turned her head away and diverted her gaze, only to be spotted by Ivan.

He smirked and said playfully. “Sheena, why don’t you come and hold onto it? That way

ay you can see more clearly.

Sheena’s heart raced. She felt like her heart was about to leap out of her chest. “N–no need.”

As a daughter from a distinguished family, Sheena had been raised with the most rigorous lady–like education. Moreover, having been immersed in culinary arts from a young age, she had rarely interacted with men.

Today’s encounter with Ivan had already made Sheena feel like she was on a rollercoaster, and this nearly out–of–control sensation made her anxious and restless.

“No. I’ll hold on myself, Willow said, tightly gripping onto his belt. “Don’t even think about escaping from my grasp or doing anything that might

harm Lea

Ivan spat our between his teeth with a sarcastic tone, “You are really good to me.”

“What are you mumbling about? Willow asked.

“Nothing. Ivan said.

“Walk faster.” Willow kicked him again.

Sheena trailed behind, watching with concern as Willow pulled Ivan around. She struggled to replace the right words, her face showing her confusion and worry

“Willow!?”

When Willow looked up, she saw Lorenzo in a deep blue military uniform. His impeccably tailored outfit accentuated his strong and upright posture, exuding an aura of righteousness and authority.

Willow’s eyes were fixed on him, and suddenly she was overwhelmed by thoughts of uniform allure. Willow’s eyes turned red instantly, and her fingers clenched involuntarily.

Ivan let out a sharp breath. “Willow, please be mindful of where your hand is; it’s already resting on my lower back”

Lorenzo went forward and grabbed Willow’s hand. He held it tightly and warned Ivan with a murderous look, “Mr. Berry, stay away from my… from Willow.”

Lorenzo subconsciously wanted to say that Willow was his, but he changed his words last minute.

Ivan shivered. Glancing at the way Lorenzo was holding Willow’s hand, Ivan frowned and said, “It’s Willow who seems very interested in me. She’s the one who grabbed my belt.”

As he spoke, he smiled playfully and said meaningfully, “I think your sister is very interested in me

“How dare you!” Willow shouted.

Bang! Just as Willow spoke, Lorenzo had already shoved Ivan against a nearby pillar and pinned his arm against Ivan’s neck. With a single move, be

could choke off Ivan’s breath.

However, Ivan was not afraid. Instead, he chuckled “Lorenzo, what’s with your big reaction! Are you afraid that Til snatch Willow?”

As Ivan spoke, his expression darkened. “But that can’t be. You are her brother, right?” His dark eyes were glinting with unmistakable menace.

From

Lorenzo’s point of view, this was a provocation and a battle for dominance.

“People like you are not qualified to get close to her,” Lorenzo said. His dark eyes were cold and emotionless.

“Is that so! Then are you qualified?” Ivan retorted.

Lorenzo was at a loss for words.

Ivan was now certain of Lorenzo’s feelings. “Lorenzo, remember, you’re only her brother.”

Lorenzo tightened his grip, nearly crushing Ivan’s throat. “If you continue to get close to Willow, I’ll kill you.”

“You don’t go near her either. You’re only her brother,” Ivan said.

They squared of, their standoff reaching a

g a near–fatal intensity.

Willow, who had just finished imagining a uniform fantasy, was stunned–how did these two end up fighting!

ath Lorenzo over mer she wondered.

Doesn’t van hate me a lot? Why would he fight with

Sheena was staring at them in shock,

She experienced a mix of conflicting emotions.

“Lorenzo!” Willow immediately went forward and pulled Lorenzo away. “Im just here to supervise him. I won’t allow him to cause trouble for Lea”

Tll take you all to dinner, Sheena said, stepping forward and standing between the two men, instinctively trying to separate them. She felt uncomfortable when she saw Ivan’s reddened neck and pale face.

Willow held Lorenzo’s arm and pulled him to one skle. She whispered into his ear, “I’ll keep an eye on Ivan”

When Lorenzo turned his head, his gaze fell directly on her chest. Willow was wearing a yellow U–neck dress, showing off her beautifully tanned skin. As she matured into a young woman, her graceful figure and curves were becoming quite noticeable.

With Willow’s breath brushing against his ear, carrying a known, subtle fragrance, Lorenzo felt his Adam’s apple move involuntarily, and his breathing became a little labored

Ivan wanted to leave with Sheena. Afraid of being beaten by Lorenzo if he directly went up to them, Ivan nudged Willow on the heel and said, “Let’s

go and eat.”

Willow frowned at him.

Ivan glanced at Lorenzo before saying. “He has designs on you”

Willow turned to look at Lorenzo and then stamped on Ivan’s foot “Don’t talk nonsense. Though she said that, a hint of joy appeared on her face.

Ivan was in such pain that he wanted to cradle his foot

Seeing that it was useless to persuade her, Ivan deliberately walked past Lorenzo and said, “You shouldn’t shit where you eat

“Why not! There’s plenty of space for me to do that,” Lorenzo said.

Ivan was taken aback by Lorenzo’s response,

The three of them followed Sheena to the dining room, their lively banter and arguments filling the air, yet the atmosphere remained surprisingly

harmonious.

Willow asked. “Lorenzo, why are you here? Lorenzo was even wearing his uniform.

am following orders from my higher–ups to protect Liliana, the Duchess of Yoxiouslar,” Lorenza replied.

Liliana was a significant figure from Yostoudor. She was coming to Iverton and also holding a public position. The higher–ups have tasked the Seventh Agency with her protection.

Willow’s face immediately darkened. On one hand, Liliana was here to snatch Alfred, which made her an enemy of Lea’s, making her their enemy as well.

On the other hand, Willow genuinely disliked Liliana for how she always used her status to intimidate others.

Now, having public officials mobilized for Liliana’s protection made it seem like Liliana was flaunting her status and using her position for personal gain.

“Willow” Lorenzo had an extremely serious sone.

Willow turned to him. Lorenzo said, “I will fulfill my duties conscientiously, but if the Duchess abuses her position for unlawful purposes, I will ensure that she is prosecuted according to the law.”

Lorenzo was telling Willow that he was fair and just.

He would not blindly side with Liliana just because of her status.

“Lorenzo…” Willow suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for him. In such a position, Lorenzo had many constraints and was forced to do things he did. not want to do.

She pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.

Seeing her concern, Lorenzo could not help but smile slightly. “Make sure to bring me soup when you have time”

She looked him up and down. “Are you feeling weak?”

İvan said, “He’s probably very weak indeed.”
