NovelEnglishChapter 448: Marissa escorted Arabella back to her room and then checked on the two little ones. Adjacent to Arabella's room was the kids' room, now transformed into a lavish children's paradise filled with toys and decked out with high- end furniture.
Lawrence and Lindsay, likely never having experienced such a luxurious and fun space, were completely absorbed in their play and didn't even notice her.
Marissa smiled, chose not to interrupt their fun, and headed downstairs.
As she descended the stairs and was about to stretch out comfortably, she halted halfway upon seeing Connor usher Glenn into the building, with Allyson and Franco returning behind them.

Glenn, however, greeted her warmly and said, "Tiffany, it's been a while." Marissa playfully responded, "Not really that long. It just felt longer because you were eagerly waiting, making each day seem like a year." "That's true," Glenn said and nodded. "It has been many days, but it sure felt long." Knowing why Connor had brought Glenn over, Marissa got straight to the point, saying, "From today, you won't have to wait anymore, Glenn. I'll start treating your legs immediately." Just then, Rita entered, and Marissa instructed her, "My medicine chest is in the car. Please go get it." "Okay, boss!" Rita replied and promptly exited the house.
Franco followed her immediately. Outside the house, he said to Rita, "It's really sunny outside right now. You can stay inside the building and fetch the medicine chest." Rita declined expressionlessly, saying, “No. I need to handle the tasks my boss givesmyself. I can't pass them off to someone else." Despite Rita's lack of interest, Franco continued to follow her. "Then I'll cwith you." Rita said nothing further and walked straight to the car. After retrieving the medicine chest from the car, she returned to the house without pausing. Franco followed diligently all the while.
Seeing that she ignored him completely, he finally asked, "Rita, how do you feel about me?" He was curious about her first impression of him.
Rita remembered the directive from her boss on how to respond and said, “I feel nothing." Franco felt like a cold bucket of water had been thrown over him, chilling him to the core. He was distinctly uncomfortable. He had never fallen for someone so quickly before. From the moment he first saw Rita, his dormant feelings of affection suddenly burst to life.
He had assumed that, with his handsappearance and notable achievements, Rita would surely reciprocate his feelings. Instead, she had coolly dismissed him. Her unemotional face didn't hint at playing hard to get; she was just stating a plain fact.
A sense of defeat washed over him. In the past, he was popular with women. Even the most sought-after girl at school confessed her feelings for him secretly. He couldn't fathom why Rita remained so indifferent.
Rita moved quickly, her strides seemingly leisurely yet covering significant ground. Lost in his thoughts, Franco didn't notice that she had already reached the house's entrance and disappeared inside.
With a deep sigh, Franco followed her inside.

In the living room, Allyson sat quietly on the sofa, observing Marissa as she checked Glenn's legs, and posed e a few questions. Rita entered, approached Marissa directly, and presented the medicine chest, saying, "Boss, here's the medicine chest."

Franco's face fell with disappointment. Marissa couldn't help but smile as she began to treat Glenn's legs.
