?Chapter 889:


    Even Dn, who had always kept his distance from women, was suddenly about to dive into the dating scene, while poor Edwin hadn’t evenid eyes on someone to crush on.


    The romantic aura Dn carried felt like a sharp, elegant sting—sweet and painful all at once—cutting right into Edwin’s heart and leaving the lonely bachelor feeling colder and more pitiful than ever.


    “Prepare the car,” Dn instructed briskly, right after ending the call.


    Edwin replied tly, “Okay.”


    “You’ll get a hundred thousand dors as a bonus this month,” Dn added, his tone casual, almost bored.


    Edwin blinked in disbelief. His eyes practically sparkled, and in an instant, he was bursting with energy. “Thank you, Mr. Scott! I’ll get the car ready immediately!”


    Edwin darted off with a grin so wide it nearly split his face. He didn’t dare dy—what if Dn changed his mind? Dn was unmistakably generous with a bonus as long as Christina was pleased. He swore he would happily be her biggest fan!


    As Edwin sprinted down the hall, he cheered silently, giddy enough to hug the next person he saw.


    The car pulled up to Bayview Estates. Once he got out, Edwin practically flew inside the house, too pumped with excitement to hold it in.


    But when his eyesnded on the gorgeous Christina in the living room, he mmed to a stop and respectfully stepped aside. Then, with a quick bow, he waited for Dn to enter. “Mr. Scott, please.”


    He let out a sigh of relief, grateful he hadn’t done anything foolish in front of Christina. He mentally reminded himself to behave with more poise and polish from now on—he needed to make a good impression. Putting on a friendly smile, he greeted Christina brightly. “Hello, Miss Jones.”

    “Hello,” Christina replied, her gaze shifting toward Dn.


    Edwin noticed another person sitting in the living room and quickly recognized her. “Good day, Mrs. Dawson.”<fn1db5> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? find?novel</fn1db5>


    Seeing Bethel rise to her feet, he eagerly walked over and struck up a conversation.


    Edwin was a natural with elders, and soon enough, Bethel was chuckling away in delight.


    “Edwin is quite impressive. He really has a knack for bringing joy to others,” Christina remarked warmly as she watched Bethel enjoying herself.


    Dn’s expression darkened ever so slightly, and he cast Edwin a frosty nce,ced with something close to hostility.


    Midugh, Edwin suddenly shivered, as if someone had opened a window behind him. He nced around, puzzled, but everything seemed normal. Dn and Christina were deep in conversation and paid him no mind.


    Edwin brushed it off as he turned back to chat with Bethel. Since Bethel mattered a great deal to Christina, he took it upon himself to keep her cheerful. After all, he didn’t earn that hefty bonus for nothing.


    “Seeing Bethel happy lifts my spirits. Edwin really knows how to treat the elderly well. You’ve made an excellent hire, Dn,” Christinamented offhandedly.
