Chapter 133

'Is someone picking us up?' wondered Ophelia.

Ophelia glanced up and saw a man in a beige coat waving at them. The golden sunlight bathed him, making him glow.

He walked over briskly, with a slight smile on his handsome, charming face. His features were defined yet gentle, especially those eyes.

'It turned out to be Adams, thought Ophelia.

Kenneth casually adjusted the scarf for Ophelia. Seeing her eyes on another man, he immediately darkened his face.

"Kenneth..." The man called out.

Kenneth turned slightly, his eyes covered in a frosty layer. "Don't call me like that again. It gives me the creeps."

His voice was colder than the ice and snow in Milagia.

"Haven't I always called you that?" The man seemed unfazed, as if used to Kenneth's mercurial mood.

But then, his gaze fixed on Ophelia beside Kenneth.

Ophelia had an ethereal grace, with big, expressive eyes that were bright and pure. A small tear mole below one of her eyes added to her innocent appeal.

Yet her calm demeanor was a stark contrast to this innocence, creating a striking contradiction.

This powerful contrast was incredibly captivating.

The man's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Care to introduce us?"

Ophelia was confused, wondering, 'Haven't we met before?

'Didn't Kenneth ask him to bail me from the police station when I was taken away by the police before?

'As a lawyer, that's not the best memory to have!'

"Ophelia." She calmly stated her name, a gentle smile on her lips polite and courteous.
