NovelEnglishMona called out, "Wait for me, Winter..." As her voice faded into the distance, Helen and Vicky's were staring coolly at Frank.
"She's a martial elite | met in Southdam. | took her in as Winter's bodyguard," Frank replied.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Who's a bodyguard.? Wait, is everyone gone already?" Kiki asked as she left her room.
There were dark circles under her eyes, and her hair was a mess—she clearly did not sleep much last night.
Helen was left gaping as Kiki showed up before turning toward Frank in disbelief.
He braced himself as he explained, "She's Kiki Moss. She's staying here to hide from the Soranos." "Hello, I'm Kiki!" Kiki flashed a professional smile at Helen.
Helen remained silent before asking quietly, "How many other women are staying here, Frank?" "She's the last one," Frank quickly assured her.
However, that was when Frida Blue also left her room, nodding at Vicky in greeting. "Hi Ms. Turnbull. I've made a full recovery, so | can return to work now." She then did a double take when she saw Helen, recognizing her as Frank's ex-wife.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNaturally, she caught on quickly to the brewing conflict as Vicky sat opposite Helen.
"Gah..." Frank could curse out loud right then—Frida could have left her room at any other moment, but did she have to do it now?! He had just assured Helen that Kiki was the last, only for Frida to show up. What was that if not a slap in the face?! "What a shame." Vicky grinned gleefully when she saw ft x SHI look on Helen's face. "Frank had no shortage of beautiful company when you left him." Vicky predicted an outburst from Helen—or for her to be riled up, at least. However, Helen simply snorted and held her gaze as she said, "And he doesn't need them anymore. I'm enough for him now." "That's not set in stone. You're not remarried, aren't you?" Vicky laughed, shaking her head. "Tut, tut. Just imagine, a woman dumping a man, only to realize he was more important than she gave him credit for and start chasing after him instead. Leaves you with a bad taste in the mouth, doesn't it, Kiki?" As Vicky turned toward Kiki, Kiki simply smiled before picking up her bowl of soup to flee, having no intention of taking part in Helen and Vicky's war.
Still, Helen said solemnly, "Bad taste notwithstanding, | know now that I've made a mistake, and if Frank givesa chance, I'll cherish our relationship more than ever before." "Hmm..." Vicky was surprised Helen would say something like that—the old Helen would certainly not. It seemed that the mess with the Graves family left her matured, though this would make their competition fairer.
"Alright, keep a lid on it for a moment—let's talk shop," Frank said and took them to a random cafe by the street after finishing breakfast.
Sitting between them, Frank watched Vicky. "Titus Lionheart has approached you, hasn't he?" Vicky laughed coquettishly, her feet dangling as she said. "I knew it was you. Who else in Riverton could have made the Lionhearts of Morhen submit?" Pausing, she then smiled. "Naturally, | rejected him. I've decided to stay in Riverton—don't disappointnow, Frank."
