Chapter 114: Kids? No! Worse!

But wouldn’t pushing him away hurt his feelings?

Merlin was conflicted as he really did not understand how to react to his predicament.

Thus he kept his arms awkwardly in the middle of the air.

"Vernon. What do you think you are doing? You are making Brother Merlin feel awkward. Can’t you see?" They did not notice when, but Helena had returned and started scolding Vernon while she pulled the man away from Merlin, trying to rescue the latter.

Merlin sighed in relief, seeing someone come to his rescue. He even gave her a smile of gratitude.

"Ahh!!" Just as he felt thankful, he felt pain from the back of his head. "What are you doing?" He asked Vernon.

"Brother Merlin, I am sorry but my watch is stuck in your hair. I can’t get it out," Vernon’s voice was heard right beside his ears.

Merlin closed his eyes. ’What bad luck!’ He lamented to himself but did not say anything out loud.

"Just remove it slowly. It hurts," Merlin said softly.

"Yes, yes. Please wait a second." Vernon said as he was twisting his arm on his back.

"Helena, come help me please," Vernon called Helena for help.

"Huh? Oh, okay. I am coming. Show me." Helena immediately went and stood behind Merlin and looked at the back of his head.

As soon as she faced Vernon, he winked at her. Helena smiled and gave him a nod. They colluded to pluck a few strands of Merlin’s hair before letting the man go.

"I am sorry, Brother Merlin. I did not expect that to happen. I sometimes forget everything and become too emotional for my own good. I am really sorry," Vernon apologized for both hugging him out of the blue and causing him pain.

Merlin lightly massaged his head and shook his head, "It’s okay."

Helena, too, apologized a couple of times to him on behalf of Vernon. Merlin had to repeat that it was fine a few times before the young couple stopped. He then excused himself and said he had to leave the party.

Helena and Vernon escorted him out of the venue before bidding him goodbye.

Once Merlin was out of sight, Helena and Vernon looked at each other.

"You got them?" Helena asked him.

"Yes." Vernon raised his hand and showed her a few strands of black hair.

"I brought a small bag for it when I left earlier. Here, put them in so we won’t lose them." Helena took out a small plastic clear bag and put the strands in it carefully.

They had to be very careful with these strands because if this chance was lost once, they wouldn’t get them again.

"Noah," Vernon called for his assistant.

He then gave him the plastic bag in his hand. Then he casually raised his hand and plucked a few strands of hair from Helena’s scalp.

"Ahh! What are you doing?" Helena slapped his arm immediately. It hurts a lot, alright?

"We need your hair as well. Don’t you know that?" Vernon just shrugged and asked casually as he placed the strands in the bag.

Helena glared at him. "I know that. But you could take them gently as well. You don’t have to be so rough, you know?"

"Rough? Was I rough? I thought I was gentle enough. Poor Brother Merlin. He was the one suffered for real, alright?" Vernon gave her a look of disdain for not being able to take the pain.

Helena glared at him. She raised her hand and pulled his hair and let him go.

"Ahh! What was that for?" Vernon held his head in his hands pitifully.

"That’s called revenge. Hmph."

"Revenge? For what?"

"For the pain you caused me and also Brother Merlin." Helena smirked at the end. If she said just for herself, she was sure Vernon would say something. But if she used Brother Merlin’s name, she was sure he would just swallow his words and pain in.

Vernon gritted his teeth. He did not back down. He pulled her hair once again and said, "For whom did I do all this, huh? You should thank me instead of taking revenge on me. Hmph."

"What? You mean you don’t want to do that but I forced you?" Helena looked at him in anger and pulled his hair.

"Ahh! You pulled my hair again? You wait!!" Vernon placed the plastic bag filled with her hair in Noah’s hands and used both his hands to grab her hair.

"Ahh! What are you doing? You are spoiling my hairstyle." Helena screamed and then used both her hands to grab his hair, mimicking him.

Just like that, a man and a woman were standing staring into each other’s eyes in the middle of the night at the entrance of a huge stadium.

If it was anyone else or if they were doing something else, it would have been a very romantic sight.

But to destroy all the romance, the man and the woman were holding each other’s hair like they held a grudge against each other since their past lives.

Thankfully there was no one around.

But Noah, who was stuck between the couple, felt awkward being the only spectator of such a spectacle.

He did not dare to look nor disturb them. He also did not dare to leave without their permission. They had yet to tell him what he had to do with the two plastic bags in his hands after all.

With no other choice, he closed his eyes and lowered his head, pretending to be dead.

"Release."

"No, you release first."

"No, you."

"No, you."

"No, you."

"No, you."

They bickered like kids more than real kids would ever.

"Haha. That was funny," A sudden voice rang from the side and the young couple instantly released each other’s hair.

They coughed and cleared their throats. Their faces were red. They had completely forgotten where they were and what they were doing.

They did not dare to look at the person who just spoke.
