Awakening of the Scheming Wife
Chapter 106: Old? No!

Chapter 106: Old? No!

Vincent did not expect that his younger brother and Helena knew Merlin. Not just know him, but they were close enough to make him attend the party of the Jefferys.

He looked at them in surprise before looking back at Merlin, "No, of course not. I just didn’t know you all knew each other."

"Well, yeah. I didn’t know they were from your family before." Merlin replied and kept the conversation vague.

Vincent understood that as well and gave a slight nod before taking the Seventh Prince away.

Once they were out of sight, Merlin walked up to Helena and softly whispered, "Be careful of that Prince. I heard that he is a weird Pervert. He likes getting all sorts of women in his harem."

He did not whisper so softly that even Vernon couldn’t hear his words. He would definitely let her husband know what he was talking to her about.

Vernon frowned when he heard his words. It was because he already knew of this. But that was because of his previous life’s experience. If not for that, he wouldn’t have known of this fact yet.

Even his brother did not know of this before, and yet Merlin knows. This showed that Merlin isn’t a simple man.

Helena pursed her lips and nodded slowly, "I heard of that as well. I know that I have to keep my distance from him to be safe. That is why I did not give him any special glance after greeting him. It is better to keep a low profile in front of men like that."

Merlin chuckled and softly patted her head, "Smart girl."

He froze. This was the first time he touched this young lady’s head subconsciously. "I am sorry."

He turned to Vernon and apologized to him as well, "I am sorry. I shouldn’t have touched your wife like that. I did not mean anything by that."

Vernon was stunned. He did not expect that apology all of a sudden. It was because he did not think there was anything wrong with his actions.

It wasn’t really about trust or no feelings between him and Helena.

It was because when he looked at Merlin and Helena, it felt like it was only natural for them to behave like that. He did not know the reason for his thoughts, but he could feel zero sexual tension between them.

The gaze Merlin had when he looked at Helena... he was very familiar with it.

It was the same as how his brother looked at him when they were young.

As they grew up, Vincent stopped looking at him with such a gentle and soft gaze. It could be because they were brothers or that his brother is now more focused on his wife and not on his brother.

Anyway, Merlin’s gaze resembled that of a sibling’s and not of a man and a woman’s. That could be the reason he did not feel that there was anything bad about their actions.

Vernon smiled and shook his head, "Don’t worry about me. You should worry about her instead. If you spoiled her hairstyle, I am sure she will blow the top of this entire venue today."

He joked and lightened the atmosphere just like that, and Merlin laughed along.

Helena glared at him, "What did you say?"

"Am I wrong?" Vernon raised an eyebrow.

Helena opened her lips to protest, but then realized that he was right indeed. So she closed her lips and pouted, "Hmph."

"See that?" Vernon pointed his thumb at her while he asked Merlin.

Merlin chuckled, seeing the interaction between the couple. "How long have you two been married?"

Helena stopped pouting and replied, "It’s been about a week."

"That’s all? So you two are newlyweds? Woah! I thought you were some old married couple with how you are bickering with each other," Merlin commented in shock.

"Do we look old?" Vernon and Helena asked in unison and looked at each other.

Merlin’s lips twitched. Is that what he meant?

"Not you. Your relationship looks old." Merlin sighed and explained.

"Oh. We have known each other since we were kids. It would be weird if we were all blushing and giggly at everything like the other newlywed couples, you know?" Helena answered.

Merlin nodded in understanding, "I see. You are right indeed."

"Did you eat anything? You should be hungry, right? I will take you to eat something. Come," Helena smiled and took him towards the food table.

Vernon followed behind them without a word.

While walking, Merlin continued their previous topic about the Seventh Prince, "Anyway, it’s good to keep a low profile in front of him. But if he talked to you, then you shouldn’t avoid him either. I heard that if a woman looked unattainable to him, the ’hunter’ in him would wake up. He treats getting women as a game. The more difficult a woman is, the more he enjoys and the more crazy he gets. So be careful."

Helena listened to her words seriously and nodded. She understood that everything he was telling her was out of concern for her and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you. I will keep that in mind."

"Helena. Vernon." A voice greeted them as they were walking.

They stopped and looked at the person to find Police Commissioner Hubert Coleman looking at them.

Helena smiled and greeted him, "Uncle Hubert. You are here?"

Vernon greeted him as well, "Uncle Hubert."

He smiled and nodded back at the kids, "Yes. I just arrived. How are you two kids?"

While the elder and the young couple were greeting each other, the commissioner’s eyes fell on Merlin. His brows knitted together as he scrutinized Merlin’s face clearly, "You look familiar. Have we ever met before?"

Merlin blinked his eyes. ’How many people would ask me the same question? It is not like I met you all just because you saw me, right?’ He thought to himself as he felt a sense of déjà vu from his question. He recalled that Minister Morris had asked almost the same thing earlier.
