?Chapter 1156:


    And I… I erected upon gazing at her lips…”


    Hamilton was left speechless. It turned out Harlee was innocent, and Rhys was the one with the inappropriate thoughts.


    After hearing Rhys’ ount, Goodwin instantly grasped the situation.


    “How do you typically interact with Miss Sanderson? Do you find yourself wanting to always treat her well?”


    Rhys gave a small nod.


    Goodwin nodded.


    “You…”


    Rhys interrupted Goodwin before he could continue.


    “What’s wrong with you? I’m the one asking the questions, not you!”


    “I was merely trying to rify the reason,” Goodwin responded, feeling slightly wronged.


    At this, Hamilton’s interest peaked.


    He was eager to see if Goodwin could effectively elucidate the nuances of male and female interactions.


    “Proceed.” Rhys stared at Goodwin icily, his look warning that if Goodwin didn’t rify things sinctly, he might want to worry about his safety.


    Upon catching Rhys’ piercing stare, Goodwin felt a chill run through him. Indeed, this job was not meant for those with weak hearts.


    ｍ????ｅ ｕ??ｄ??ｔｅｓ ??ｎ ???ｌ????ｖ??ｌ??.??????


    Goodwin inhaled deeply, steadying himself before he responded with genuine concern, “Mr. Green, though you’re psychologically twelve, your body is thirty-three. It’s entirely normal to experience an erection toward a woman. The reason you feel this way toward Miss Sanderson is because, deep within you, you still hold a profound affection for her. Your body reacts naturally to these deep-seated feelings.”


    Goodwin delivered his exnation with great earnestness, assessing Rhys’ condition carefully.


    Both Rhys and Hamilton became quiet.


    Hamilton believed Goodwin’s exnation might go beyond the current Rhys’prehension.


    “If you’re unfamiliar with romantic feelings between a man and a woman, let’s use an example from the animal kingdom,” Goodwin continued.


    “It’s like a bird unting its feathers… Simply put, your reaction is your way of trying to impress Miss Sanderson.”


    Trying to impress? Rhys felt as if something in his mind had snapped, leaving him dazed, struggling toprehend the full meaning.


    Hamilton was just as surprised, not expecting Goodwin to draw such a direct analogy, likening Rhys’ behavior to instinct. While it was an urate analogy, it somehow seemed inadequate.


    If Goodwin knew Hamilton’s thoughts, he would have pointed out that what he discussed was love, but Hamilton interpreted his words as mere instinct. These concepts were not the same. Silence enveloped the room.


    Finally realizing the implications of the exnation, Rhys abruptly took a sharp breath and seized Goodwin by the cor, his teeth clenched.


    “Repeat that!”


    Rhys was upset about beingpared to someone merely acting on instinct toward Harlee.
