Chapter 72: She’s Really Immature

Soon enough, Tanner, drenched from head to toe and holding a black checkered umbrella, walked up to Cheyenne.

As he handed her the umbrella, he couldn’t help but feel speechless. It was pouring rain outside. Miss Lawrence would definitely get soaked if went goes out. Although Master Iker had trained female soldiers before who had to crawl through mud or run five kilometers in the rain, Tanner couldn’t bear to treat Cheyenne like one of them. He saw her as a delicate and sweet woman. Cheyenne knew that Iker was intentionally getting back at her by driving her away, since she required him to take the bitter medicine.

But she did it for his own good. Besides, she even gave him the candy which she herself liked to eat very much. Master Iker was being stingy indeed.

Should she take the umbrella or not?

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of pouring rain and everything became hazy with mist. The villa in front of them was shrouded in white amidst this curtain of raindrops while tree leaves were scattered all over the ground due to strong winds.

Clang!

Another loud thunderclap, as if an earthquake, rang in Cheyenne’s ears.

She bit her lip and reached out with a small, white hand to grab the umbrella handle.

Turning back with a smile, she said, “Thank you so much, Master Iker!”

Her skirt was blown by the gusts of wind and fluttered continuously. The woman’s smile made Iker unable to help but laugh.

As she was about to walk out with the umbrella in hand, the person behind her finally spoke up. “Forget it. Wait until the rain stops before you go.”

“Master Iker, I’ll just accept your kindness,” Cheyenne said with a smiling face, turned towards the awkward man behind her.

The latter still had a cold expression on his face. “Tanner, take Miss Lawrence to sit in the living room.”
