Chapter 1048: It Turns Out to Be a Girl (7)

Talk about something?

What then?

Iris Thompson felt a surge of anxiety in an instant.

Was he referring to her plotting against Roland Roberts, or was it about how she had now become more calculating?

Iris Thompson tensed up her body, yet her face still wore a smile, as she softly began, "Sure, you speak."

That defensive stance made Reginald Bates inwardly sigh.

This woman, like a delicate deer, had always appeared harmless in String, fearful of being hurt by others—and now, she was still so timid.

Did she think that he really liked a completely clueless touch-me-not?

He rejoiced that she had become strong, that she could now protect herself.

His line of work meant he couldn't always be home with her, and if she hadn't changed, he would be the one to worry if they were suitable for each other!

Her transformation was a surprise to him.

Yet, whenever he tried to speak, the girl always resisted, making it difficult for Reginald Bates to vocalize his thoughts.
