Chapter 717

Juanita had never seen Karl so serious before. She had the impression

that he was always so indifferent to everything, but she never thought

he would have such a ruthless side.

"Does Joyce know about your status as the prince of the world of

laws?" She asked suddenly.

Karl flinched slightly, "She knows."

"Oh."

Juanita laughed wryly, "So you all just kept that from me."

He was a little embarrassed, but finally explained, “I did not mean it."

“Joyce and I happened to pass by the Heath residence and went in for

a short sit. At that time, I was recognized by Mrs. Heath, and that was

how Joyce knew my identity.”

“She knew that I would like to keep it a secret, so she kept it a secret

for me."

“It's okay. You don't have to be so serious...”

“I would not mind, but if I can know about it earlier..." she did not

continue. In fact, even if she knew that he was just the man her family

had found for her, that would not change anything earlier.

She had indeed met Michal. Her father had once taken her to dinner

with Michal. So that night was for Michal to meet her.

“You usually have a different face in front of your parents?" Karl

suddenly asked.

"Uh, what does that mean?" Juanita was a bit perplexed and didn't

understand.

“I heard my mother say that Julia is good-tempered, sensible, gentle

and quiet girl, with elegant manners and a soft voice.”

Karl glanced at her lightly, "I feel like she was not talking about the

same Juanita as I know."

"Oh, so you are talking about that.”

“Then, of course, I never showed my true self in front of them.”

“Haha.”

Juanita smiled sweetly.

The way she used to live her life was too tiring, and only after she left

home and came to Khebury could she live her life the way she wanted.

"What? Do you like girls who are sensible and gentle and quiet?" She

seemed amused.

Obviously that was not his type, or why would he run away from the

marriage at the beginning?

Karl looked at her steadily and didn't answer her question, "I'm sorry

about last night.”

“I thought about it and I will ..."

"I said, it was me, and I don't blame you, so you don't have to take it to

heart."

Juanita drove while interrupting him. In fact she was so afraid that he

would continue. Whether it was him expressing his apologies or him

trying to say that he would be responsible, it was not what she wanted

to hear.

She opened her cherry red lips and pretended to be cool, "Come on,

what era is it now? What's wrong with us sleeping overnight? Isn't it

normal? It's not like we're going to die over this little thing?"

She glanced at him suspiciously again, “You just could never stop

talking about it. Is it ... your first time?"

"..." Karl was speechless. She made it sound like she was

sophisticated, when it was obvious she was a first timer herself.

"Hey, can we not mention what happened last night again?" Juanita

pretended not to care and waved her hand, "You're a big man. What's

wrong with sleeping with me for one night? Why are you so serious?

Do you think you lost anything? Do you still want me to be responsible?

Let's not mention it, okay?"

Karl was even more speechless.

Suddenly, Juanita slowed the car down, and then pulled over at the

side of the road.

She did not turn off the car, and the air conditioning was still on.

"Wait for me here for five minutes. I'll just go get something. I'll be right

back."

Juanita said to Karl.

"Hmm."

He nodded gently.

He then turned his head, looked out of the window. Right next to the

road was a medium-sized pharmacy.

He saw Juanita get out of the car and quickly walk into the pharmacy.

Karl was a little confused. She went there to buy medicine? Was it for

his wound? But didn't she just do that last night? And he had everything

at home, so there was no need for her to buy anything.

He had exactly no idea what she went in there to do.
