Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 855:

“I’m happy, too,” Marissa replied. “I’ve found both my brother and father. My family is coming back to me. I finally have a family.”

Kevin gently straightened her hair. “Why do you look so pale? Haven’t you slept well recently?”

Marissa chuckled. Of course, she hadn’t slept well. In fact, she hadn’t slept at all. Since she couldn’t fall asleep, she had taken the opportunity to handle some pressing matters.

“Kevin, I’m starving. After we eat, I’ll go see Connor.”

Kevin nodded. “My chef has prepared a meal for you. Also, regarding your divorce, Mr. Alvarado briefed me on the situation. He suggested we both visit Connor. He’s concerned you might be at a disadvantage if you go alone.”

Marissa listened and smiled. As she had expected, her father had asked Kevin to back her up. While she understood her father’s concern, she didn’t want Kevin to accompany her to meet Connor. Both men were overbearing, and if negotiations failed and they fought, things might go out of hand.

“Kevin, do you really think I need someone to back me up?” Marissa asked playfully.

“Of course not. You’re the chief instructor, Black Mallow, at Doomsday Base. Connor can’t make things difficult for you. But Mr. Alvarado thought you might seem less threatening if you went alone. He asked me to watch your back.”

“No, thanks. I can handle it myself.”

“I can’t explain that to Mr. Alvarado if you don’t let me come with you. You have to take me along. You can’t just leave me behind.”

Marissa blinked mischievously. “My father isn’t in Blebert, anyway. He won’t know. I can just tell him you are there.”

Kevin gave her a playful look. “I’ve never lied to Mr. Alvarado. You’ll make me feel guilty.”

Marissa didn’t reply. Instead, she pouted and looked at Kevin unblinkingly, just like she did when she was a child. It was a sign she was about to dig her heels in.

Kevin burst into laughter and ruffled her hair affectionately. “Fine. I’ll do as you say. Lying to Mr. Alvarado does make me feel guilty, but upsetting you scares me even more. Besides, you’re the most important person to me in the world.”

Marissa giggled and linked her arm with his. Together, they made their way into the manor.

Upon entering the house, Kevin led her to the room with the best view on the second floor. “This is your room. I’ve stocked the closet with plenty of clothes for you. Take a shower and get changed before coming down for the meal.”

With that, Kevin left the room and closed the door quietly behind him.

Marissa looked around, her heart swelling with joy. Kevin had not only bought the manor but had also given her the best room and filled the closet with clothes and accessories for her.noveldrama

Yesterday, she had thought that a girl blessed with her father’s love was fortunate. Today, she realized that a girl cherished by both her father and brother was blessed beyond measure.

She stepped into the bathroom and enjoyed a comforting hot bath. Afterward, she chose an outfit from the closet and dressed up. She then descended the stairs. After the meal, Marissa set out to meet Connor.

Cher Snain and Blebert were in different time zones. It was midnight in Cher Snain, but early morning in Blebert.
