Chapter 275: Chapter 276

Ryan took a deep breath as if he couldn’t believe he’d made the wrong decision.

“I’ll go to Leeds again and look into the matter/’ he said after a brief pause.

Anna turned to face him and said, “You don’t have to do that right away. You already know that the more hurried you are, the more likely you are to make a mistake. Don’t miss a single detail.”

Ryan was embarrassed and muttered, “Okay, | understand. This time, I’ll get to the bottom of it. Otherwise, my reputation will suffer.”

“You mean, your reputation of being ‘The number one detective* in your school?” Anna teased.

Ryan blushed as he looked at Anna.

His classmates had previously given him that nickname to tease him. He thought it was silly, so he told them never to call him that again. However, the more he protested, the more they wanted to joke with him, and eventually, even his teachers called him that.

Ryan, on the other hand, wondered how Anna knew about Anna said with a smile, “Actually, someone called you that just now on our way here. Didn’t you hear it?” Ryan covered his face in embarrassment and appeared to want to leave the cafe.

Anna, he felt, had treated him like a child.

At that moment, someone heaved the tray onto the table and announced, “Your two caramel macchiatos are ready.”

Emily then said fiercely to Ryan, “Okay, stop that. You’re playing the shy card, aren’t you? But, you look disgusting!”

She then took her tray away and was leaving.

Ryan expressed his displeasure, saying, “Hey! I’m not doing that! Are you insane?”

Emily turned to face Anna and then she said to Ryan, “Am | insane? You’re insane, in my opinion!”

Then she said to Anna, ‘’Lady, you may not be aware that Ryan is a well-known womanizer at our school. He frequently brings ladies of all ages here for coffee and always orders two caramel macchiatos.”

Ryan became awkward and inquired, “Hey, what are you babbling about?”

Anna, however, remained calm and asked, smiling at Emily, “Really? He even tried to date old ladies? He’s really sick, isn’t he?”

Emily said with a nod, “Yes! He’s such a p****=t. So, don’t let him fool you! He just likes to mess with women.”

Ryan was so annoyed that he laughed out of anger and said, “Emily, you’re a natural storyteller! Could you use your talent for selling coffee?”

Emily said firmly, “Hey! I’m being completely honest! | witnessed it firsthand!” Anna blinked, and then she said, “Thank you so much, Emily. That is very kind of you. But I’m just his sister.”

Emily froze, and then asked, wide-eyed and surprised, “You’re his sister? “

“She’s not my biological sister, but we’re very close,” Ryan said, rolling his eyes at her.

Emily appeared to be at a loss for words as if she hadn’t anticipated this. She inquired, “Oh? Really?”

Anna said as she wanted to joke with her, “Sure! You know, my daughter is five years old. So, does Ryan actually flirt with women of different ages? He’d been seeing a lot of them, hadn’t he? Could you please keep an eye on him for me?”

Emily blushed immediately and said, “What? That’s not going to happen! Miss, I’m going to get you some pizza.**

“| didn’t order any pizza!” exclaimed Ryan.

“This is from me to the lady. “Emily said as she entered the kitchen.

Ryan thought she was acting strangely. When he looked up, he noticed Anna scowling meaningfully at him.

“She’s a complete psycho! Anna, why are you staring at me like that? Is there something wrong with my face?”

“No. But | believe that the girl has a crush on you.”

Ryan looked at Anna, perplexed, not understanding what she was saying.

After a brief silence, Anna made a curious face and asked, “Can’t you see that she likes you?” Ryan immediately glared and said, “Stop teasing me, please...”

Anna asked curiously, “What are you talking about? | think she’s cute, don’t you think so?”

Ryan appeared hesitant, then exclaimed in horror, “She’s cute, but she’s insane. Do you have any idea what her major is?”

Anna didn’t know what to say, so she said a few random things, “What exactly is it? Nursing? Intelligence? Please tell me!”

Ryan took a deep breath and asked, “Do you know about the Blue Eagle department at our school?”

Anna replied hesitantly, “I’ve heard of it. Isn’t it a program that trains special forces for the army?”

Ryan nodded and added, “Yes. These special talents will eventually become special forces, and they will be deployed to borders and battlefields in the future. They are subjected to much stricter discipline at school, and they are not even permitted to date other people. Besides, Emily voluntarily joined the department in the first place. She had long been prepared to fight for her country, so falling in love is out of the question for her.”

“What? You mean she’ll be a Special Forces soldier in the future?”

Although she saw Ryan nod, Anna still found it hard to believe. The girl was short and skinny, and she didn’t look like a soldier.

“As a freshman, she broke the school shooting record. She had defeated hundreds of opponents over the years, and she was capable of taking on several trained adult men on her own. She was a maniac every time she arrived at the training ground. I’ve never seen anyone go so crazy fortraining before, so I’m afraid of her.*’

Anna became even more intrigued when she noticed Ryan’s fearful expression.

Then, she asked, “So, what kind of girls do you prefer? There are several girls who like you at the Carousel Hotel, so | can introduce you to a few of them. Do you prefer girls who are a little older than you?”

Ryan leaned back in his chair, seemingly contemplating something.

He said in a lower voice, not daring to look Anna in the eyes, “It doesn’t bother me if my girlfriend is older than me. | like gentle girls, and | hope she can be gentle with her family while being cruel to her adversaries. | hope she can be kind but not coddled, tough but gentle.”

Anna had no idea what he was referring to. “Does such a person exist in the world?”

“Yes. | wish she could look after me, buy me snacks, and be concerned about my well-being.”

Anna seriously looked at Ryan before asking, “You’re not talking about your mother, are you?”
