Awakening of the Scheming Wife
Chapter 104: Guess? Yes!

Chapter 104: Guess? Yes!

Minister Morris nodded, "You are right. Looks like I did not think carefully this time and took a misstep. Then you are right indeed. We should be thankful that the little girl did nothing too extreme because of my actions."

Madam Morris nodded. "Yes. Looks like whatever you did did not harm her goal. That was why she went easy on us. Anyway, now that you understand, let’s go. It is not good for us to stay here for too long."

The couple left the room and started mingling with the guests once again like nothing had happened.

"Helena," Minister Morris called out when he saw her.

Helena looked at him in surprise. His expression seemed completely different from earlier, and she wasn’t quite used to it.

"Minister Morris? Do you have something you need from me?" She asked him politely once she walked to him.

He shook his head. He beckoned her to a place with fewer people and whispered softly, "If nothing huge happened, let’s call it even?"

"..." Helena blinked her eyes in shock. Even though his words sound a bit weird, she could see that he was raising a white flag towards her. She did not expect this from him at all.

When she did what she did, all she hoped was for Professor Jones to give a good scolding to her husband, and he would stay away from her.

If he did not say a word right now, they wouldn’t even have to continue their ’fight’ anymore, and it would have been buried just like that.

She blinked her eyes for a few more seconds, and Minister Morris felt embarrassed.

"Ehem," He coughed to bring her back to her senses.

"What happened? Minister Morris, do you need some water?" Vernon came out of nowhere and asked.

When he saw Helena and him together, he was worried that he was trying to bully her and immediately came to her ’rescue’.

Seeing his guarded expression, how could the smart Minister Morris and Helena not understand his intentions?

Minister Morris’s lips twitched, "Don’t worry, kid. I am not trying to harm your wife. What do you take me for, huh? Am I a Godzilla or that green monster you kids see in the movies these days?"

"You mean Hulk?" Vernon subconsciously asked. Once he asked, he covered his mouth in embarrassment. Clearly, the older man wasn’t exactly expecting the name, right?

"I think that’s the name. Anyway, I don’t hurt kids for no reason."

Helena chuckled at the conversation between these two men.

For some reason, she understood why people always say that men never change with age.

She suddenly realized that, despite his position and weird revenge techniques, Minister Morris is quite childish for his age.

When the men heard her laugh, they immediately looked at her in unison.

"Ehem. Minister Morris," Helena cleared her throat and was about to reply to his earlier words.

But before she could speak, she felt a pair of hands covering her eyes.

"Who is it?" She was stunned and grabbed the hands and felt them around while asking.

"Guess." A nice voice rang beside her ears.

A male voice.

But she did not feel creepy by this closeness at all. She instantly understood who it was and smiled.

Minister Morris looked at the man in shock while Vernon observed him as well.

The man winked at Vernon and waited for Helena’s reply with a mischievous smile.

Vernon realized who the man was and smiled back.

Minister Morris subconsciously turned to look at Vernon. He wondered how he might misunderstand his wife because of the close proximity to a strange man.

But Vernon did not have any strange expressions at all. He was just casually smiling as a form of greeting the man.

"You came?" Helena asked with a smile.

"Did you doubt me? Anyway, did you really guess who I am?" The man asked again, not sure if he could remove his hands from her eyes or not.

"Of course I guessed. Mister Senior." Helena smiled and gave him the ’answer’.

"Ha ha ha." Merlin laughed at her naughty answer and removed his hands. "I thought you wouldn’t recognize me. Glad you still remember me."

"Of course I do. Glad that you came. I was worried you wouldn’t." Helena smiled as she looked at him.

Merlin smiled back, "I promised to come, didn’t I?"

Helena smiled cutely and nodded, "Mmm."

"Mister Senior?" Vernon asked, interrupting their conversation.

Helena looked at him and nodded, "Yes. Ha ha." Merlin laughed along while shaking his head. He couldn’t believe she was still stuck with those words.

He just said that his parents were seniors to her mother and they would take care of her. Now she somehow managed to turn it into a joke.

Helena did not want to explain too much about the matter. After all, it involved her mother.

She just pulled Vernon to her side, "Let me introduce you both to each other. He is my husband, Vernon."

"Hello. Nice meeting you. I am Merlin." Merlin greeted him seriously while giving his hand to shake.

Vernon greeted him back, "Nice meeting you. Vernon."

Merlin then turned towards Helena and extended his hand, "Nice meeting you as well. I am Merlin."

Helena understood what he meant. They talked to each other last time, but they had never officially greeted each other. They did not know their names ’officially’.

She chuckled and gave him her hand to shake, "Nice meeting you, Mister Merlin. I am Helena."

Merlin smiled, "Helena. Pretty name. Suits you."

Helena smiled, "Thank you. My mother named me."

Merlin nodded.

"Oh yeah. This is Minister Morris. Minister Morris, this is Merlin," Helena realized that Minister Morris was still by their side and introduced them to each other nicely.

"Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you."

Both men greeted each other with a handshake as well. But it was formal compared to how Merlin greeted Helena or Vernon.

"I think I had seen you before," Minister Morris looked at Merlin and said.
