Chapter 1683:

Harlee noticed Errol’s hostile look but remained indifferent. To her, his expressions were merely entertaining. She was well aware of the Happer family’s movements, thanks to Stefan’s surveillance. Except for a few secrets under Errol’s direct command, she knew nearly everything about him. Anticipating that Errol and Nola might approach her, Harlee was prepared.

Despite his fury at Harlee’s indifference, Errol could instantly switch back to the demeanor of a benevolent elder. Looking at Harlee with a warmth as if she were family, he softened his tone, infused with paternal affection.

“Young lady, I understand that young people like you value your independence and might not want to mingle with an old man like me. But, if you’re not up for teaching me, perhaps I could just watch you play?”

Errol believed that by humbling himself in this manner, even if Harlee was dismissive, she wouldn’t outright reject his presence.

Yet, the next moment, Harlee pocketed her phone and tilted her head, a playful smirk gracing her lips as she eyed Errol, who was clearly putting on an act. Her voice carried a teasing lilt.

“You can’t. I prefer to keep my distance from creepy old men, especially when they come with that musty odor. It’s just too much for me.”
