Chapter 270
It was late at night, and everyone had already gone to bed. Simon, who usually had excellent sleep quality, had slept restlessly these past few nights. Every time he fell asleep, his mind was filled with countless bloody scenes, the sounds of piercing screams and cries that tormented him trelentlessly.
“Ah!” Simson woke up from his sleep again, drenched in cold sweat, his heart racing uncontrollably. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his face, usually warm and full of energy, was filled with exhaustion and pain. He got out of bed, intending to go to the living room for water.
Upon entering the living room, Simon grabbed a paper cup and filled it with water. However, as he turned around, a cold, piercing gaze stared at
“Ah“” Sumon screamed in shock. He quickly stumbled backward, colliding with the water dispenser. The paper cup slipped from his hand, and as–he watched, it was about to fall to the floor, spilling water everywhere.
However, another hand steadied the cup in the next moment, and the water remained perfectly in place. “Am I a ghost! Why are you screaming so loudly!” Mandy said with a cold, detached voice. She gave Simon a frustrated glance, then immediately kicked him hard in the calf
“Ouch. – Sunon mied out in pain, clutching his calf. Fortunately, the people in his house were the type who wouldn’t wake up, even if someone were banging drams next to their ears. Otherwise, they would have woken up long ago with the racket Simon was making.
After the cry. Simon looked at Mandy, who was leisurely sitting on the edge of the sofa and drinking water, with a miserable expression. He muttered. “Mandy, why don’t you ever announce yourself when you come over! You almost scared me to death.”
Mandy, however, spoke with obvioĝs disdain. “It’s your fault for being so unaware. I was already behind you, and you didn’t even notice! If I wanted to kill you, you’d be dead by now!”
Hearing this. Simon gave a silly, proud smile.
Despite not having a face that could pull off being cure, he still winked at Mandy and said, “Mandy. I know you’re just being tough on the outside but soft on the inside. You’d never actually kill me. Remember when I got roy–neck swapped by Eric? I saw how worried you were about me?”
Mandy’s expression stiffened immediately. She recalled the scene when Simon had his neck snapped and fell into a state of apparent death. At that moment her heart tightened with fear
She had thought that seeing him die would bring her some twisted satisfaction, but when she indeed saw him lying motionless on the ground, she froze in place, her fingers trembling uncontrollably.
Although Simon had eventually regained consciousness, he wasn’t in good shape, and it was clear he had a lot on his mind. Mandy couldn’t help but wonder if it was a lapse in her judgment, but she showed some concern for him. To her surprise, he had started to act cocky after that
Before, he had been cautious and respectful around her, but since then, he had become more clingy, almost as if he was sure she wouldn’t kill him. Right now, with the smug expression on his face, it was enough to make Mandy feel like killing him again.
“Mandy’s face remained expressionless as she casually gestured for Simon to come closer. Her voice was calm and emotionless as she said, “Come
Mandy’s gesture made Simon tilt his head in confusion, his face turning into a clear, almost naive expression. He obediently stepped forward and said, “Mandy, you…
However, before Simon could finish his sentence, Mandy immediately delivered a powerful kick straight to his chest.
“Ouch!” Simon was caught off guard and kicked to the ground, flipping several times before stopping. Once he steadied himself, he looked up at Mandy in surprise, his expression a mix of innocence and grievance. “Mandy, what was that for?” he asked.
Mandy retracted her fout, showing no sign of apology. With a cold demeanor, she plainly said. “No reason. I didn’t like the way you were acting a
Upon hearing her words, Simon blinked, not getting upset. Instead, he smiled silly and tried to get up from the ground. However, as Simon began in se, his expression suddenly froze. He then lowered his head, pressing his hand against his chest where Mandy had kicked him, his face contorting with pain.
“Simon!” Seeing Simon’s pained expression, Mandy was
as momentarily taken aback. She called his name cautiously, but Simon didn’t respond. He continued clutching his chest, his face showing clear signs of discomfort.
It made Mandy involuntarily recall the scene when Simon’s neck had been snapped. She thought,
- ed. She thought. Could it have been that there were aftereffects?
After all, since that incident, Simon had been absent–minded and frequently lost in thought, so his condition had been off. She thought, “Could something have been wrong with his body?!

Mandy’s bear tightened instantly, her actions quicker than her thoughts. She rushed over and supported Simon, her voice tinged with o she asked. “What happened? Is it painful“”
To Mandy’s surprise, past as she finished speaking, Simon, who had been wearing a pained expression, suddenly looked up at her. Their
Fryes met, her shock, Simon’s face liroke into a goofy, slightly smug sanile.
“Mandy,” he said, “I didn’t realize you cared about me this much! If you’re so concerned, you should say it. Don’t keep it hidden, or you might get Jurt yourself
As soon as the words left his mouth. Mandy’s expression darkened instantly. The concern in her eyes just moments before was replaced with an intense, murderous glair. Her lists clenched tightly, and the veins in her hands stood out sharply.
Well N
Noticing the intense killing aura emanating from Mandy, Simon involuntarily shuddered. Realizing he had gone too far with his joke, he blinked innocently, looking embarrassed. He cautiously and tentatively asked, “Mandy, you’re not angry, are you? I was joking…
Betone Simon could even finish his sentence, he was unsurprisingly subjected to a firutal ling by Mandy. “Ouch!”
That night, the Lewis family was filled with the sounds of Simon’s cries. However, the rest of the family, who could sleep through anything. remuined blissfully unaware, deep in their sweet shirams, utterly oblivious to the chaos around them.
heavy with worries, but after getting
Simon wasn’t sure if he was out of his mind. After being startled awake by nightmares, his mind had been heavy w beaten up by Mandy, he suddenly felt relaxed,
After drinking some water, he was ready to go back to his room to sleep. As he approached the door, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Mandy seemed to be heading to her room as well. He called out to her curiously, “Mandy!”
At the sound of his voice, Mandy shor Simon a cold glance. Although her gaze remained fierce and unfeeling, she did stop after hearing him. She asked. “Is there something else?”
Simon stared at Mandy for a moment, deep in thought. It was already late at night, and everyone else had fallen asleep. He had awakened from a nightmare and gone to the living room for water, but he couldn’t help but wonder why Mandy was also in the living room.
Although the rest of the Lewis family slept so soundly they couldn’t be woken, Simon knew that Mandy had extremely sensitive hearing. Even in deep sleep, the slightest sound would instantly wake her.
As he considered this possibility, Simon couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement inside. His eyes lit up with hope, and he grinned at Mandy, saying “So, Manely, you were in the living room at this hour because you were worried about me, right?”
However, Simon’s words immediately struck a nerve with Mandy. Her expression shifted instantly, turning vicious. An intense aura of hostility enveloped her as if the were about to tear Simon apart in the next second.
Seeing Mandy’s reaction. Simon was so frightened that he almost lost his mind. He quickly ran back to his room and slammed the door shut.
Though Mandy had come out earlier to beat him up to lighten his mood, Simon couldn’t help but feel she was too fierce. After all, she was so gentle with Nina Simon found himself feeling envious of Nina at du moment.
Nia was the center of everyone’s attention, like a treasure. Simon wasn’t greedy and didn’t want to be the center of attention for everyone–he just wanted to have Mandy’s attention
Though a bit sad inside, he obediently got ready to sleep, knowing that he’d have to wake up early the following day to buy breakfast for the whole family. If he were late, those mischievous kids would be bouncing everywhere.
Just as Simon climbed into bed and was about to fall asleep, suddenly, a phone call came in. He picked up his phone, glanced at the screen, and saw dur Clifford was calling
Upon seeing the incoming call, Simon’s heart skipped a beat, and his mind instantly became alert. When he was with Eric, he had exchanged. contact details with Clifford.
Simon knew that Clifford was a man of deep calculation. When they had met, Clifford’s gaze had always seemned to assess and measure him. Now, receiving a call from him in the middle of the night was not a good sign
However, Simon illecided to answer the call After all, Clifford was Mandy’s superior, and maintaining a good relationship with him would make Mandy’s work progress more umoothly. Simon would handle anything else if Clifford didn’t inquire about his past or bring up his previous identity,
After mentally preparing himself, Simon answered the phone. “Hello…..”
