Can’t You Be More Gentle?
After leaving the airport, Elise could clearly feel the intense exuberance in the city life that was specific
to Dukethorn.
The roads of Dukethorn were long and winding, but this didn’t seem to deter the street cart operators
from operating their stalls by the roadside. The items sold were mainly some arts and crafts. The local
people could clearly be identified due to their unique attire, which was significantly different from the
visitors. Hence, it was fairly easy to differentiate between the locals and the visitors.
There were plenty of people like Elise, who were clearly dressed like visitors, and most of them were
quite likely here for the gem auction event.
The people of Landred City enjoyed auctioning for gems, but the city was not where gem auction had
originated. It was only in Dukethorn one could see gem auctioning events all over the place. Some of
the street cart operators also held small-scale gem auction events and it was just like opening a blind
box. It cost one hundred for each round, and you could go on endlessly.
Of course, most of the gems obtained were worthless jade pieces and it was all for the fun of it.
“Stop the cart.” Just then, Elise suddenly stopped their trishaw cart operator and leaped off the cart.
“Why don’t you bring the luggage to the hotel first? I’ll have a browse around the place.”
“Stay safe, Miss Anderson,” Tom mentioned to Elise.
“My last name is Sinclair,” Elise responded.
“Aren’t you the daughter of the Anderson Family? Anyway, Miss Sinclair, Dukethorn is not a safe place,
so be alert and come back early.” Tom had complete trust in Elise so he didn’t question her any further.
After giving her some advice, he then told the driver to continue heading to their destination.
Walking off, Elise entered the bustling marketplace. She planned to find some interesting little trinkets
to bring back for Alexander. She browsed around but she didn’t find anything that seemed appealing.
“Stop right there! Catch that thief!”
Suddenly, a screaming plea could be heard from behind her, and the voice became increasingly louder.
Elise paused in her tracks and turned around to look. Suddenly, she saw that the previously crowded
street now had a slight path forcefully pushed through by someone, and there was a man stumbling
right in her direction with a designer bag held in his hands. He pushed aside the innocent bystanders
as he rushed in her direction.
Meanwhile, those who wanted to avoid trouble tacitly moved to the side. However, Elise remained
standing in her original position, having no intentions of shying away at all.
“Step aside, you b*tch!”
The man warned her from afar but after noticing that she didn’t respond at all, he made up his mind
and increased his speed while clutching tightly to the bag, intending to force his way through.
The man was nearly six-foot-tall and was quite well-built. He increased his speed, and it was quite
likely that he could easily send a person hurtling into the air.
The bystanders had already started to say a silent prayer for Elise.
Just then, as soon as the man approached Elise, she lifted her feet and kicked him into the air. With a
loud moan, he landed with a thud onto the ground. He even skidded quite a few meters before coming
to a stop.
It took a while before he came back to his senses. He struggled to get up from the ground, but a silver
needle suddenly came toward him and hit him directly in his neck. Half of his body was frozen in place
and he could only use the other half to support himself as he wriggled on the ground.
The woman, whose bag had been snatched, finally caught up with the guy and the first thing that she
did was to pick up her bag that was on the ground.
After she had examined the contents of the bag and made sure that everything was in place, she finally
came to her senses and looked in Elise’s direction. Just then, there was a flash of surprise in her eyes.
In fact, Elise recognized the woman. She was the capable woman who was always by Kenneth’s side.
“Thanks for your help, Miss Elise. The items inside are very important to me.”
Elise didn’t respond to her words. Melody was with Kenneth, so something that was important to her
was definitely also related to him.
Indeed, soon after that, Kenneth’s voice rang out even before he appeared on the scene.
“Have you recovered the item?”
As soon as his words rang out, he pushed through from the crowd and walked toward them. Kenneth’s
eyes instantly met Elise’s and the both of them exchanged looks.
As soon as Elise noticed the teasing expression in his eyes, she hardened her gaze.
“Miss Sinclair, this is such a coincidence.” Kenneth remained in his position and stared unblinkingly at
Elise.
There was an intense look of disgust in Elise’s eyes as she nonchalantly responded, “Your partner’s
bag was just snatched by someone. You didn’t even bother to show her any concern, yet you’re
blatantly going after another woman right now. Do you think that’s appropriate?”
“Why would it be inappropriate?” Kenneth smiled. “You helped Melody recover her items, so I definitely
have to thank you for that on her behalf.”
“Mr. Bailey, you have such a glib tongue.” Elise murmured with a mocking look.
He must be the only person on earth who can give such a unique and righteous response even though
he’s actually just being a flirt.
Just then, Elise glanced at Melody, and she couldn’t help but find it a shame. The latter looked very
capable and independent, so why did she have such bad taste in men?
Although Kenneth was fairly good-looking, looks were not everything. Elise wondered, Why can’t she
tell that the guy next to her is a flirt? Maybe it’s his good looks paired with his glib tongue that caused
her to lose her senses. That must be the reason! I must make her realize it so that she can leave him.
“If I’m not mistaken, you must be Miss Melody, right?” Elise questioned.
“Yes, I am.” Melody’s face remained impassive as she nodded her head.
“You should keep a closer eye on your man to prevent him from flirting with everyone. It’s fine if he’s
not great at kissing, but it’s embarrassing that he attempted to force himself on someone else despite
being so lousy in his technique. It would seem that the guy you’re with isn’t able to perform.”
Elise emphasized the word ‘perform’ and there was a look of defiance in her eyes.
Meanwhile, Melody was quite smart and she instantly turned to interrogate Kenneth, “Did you force
yourself on Miss Sinclair?”
Kenneth shrugged in response. “Yeah, I couldn’t help myself. She was too enchanting.”
As soon as Elise thought of the scene where Kenneth was about to be dumped, she looked as if her
evil plan had come to fruition, the smug smile on her face clearly indicating her pleasure.
However, as soon as her lips curved into a smile, she heard Melody mention with a slightly resigned
note, “Can’t you be more gentle?”
And so, Elise was stunned speechless.
Kenneth only commented, “I’ll try next time.”
“I hope you manage to,” Melody calmly responded, and then she remained silent after that.
What the heck? Next time? Be more gentle? Is that even the main point here?!
“Is that all you have to say?” Elise stared at Melody with a confused expression.
Meanwhile, the latter was quite calm, and she replied indifferently, “I’m sorry, Miss Sinclair. I have no
control over him.” It’s normal for one to occasionally grumble about the boss but it would be near
impossible to stick my nose into his matters!
From Elise’s point of view, she found that this woman currently standing in front of her was hopeless.
Melody chose to turn a blind eye to her man’s flirtish behavior and she even accepted it as the norm.
It’s quite sad for a woman to end up living in such a sorry state. Elise realized that no one could save
someone like that. With a sigh, she silently cursed all of the despicable men on earth who behaved so
badly toward their partners.
Suddenly, Kenneth interrupted her thoughts as he said sneakily, “Miss Sinclair, I was in a rush back
then, so the experience you received was mediocre. How about we find another spot and continue the
experiment?”
Upon hearing that, Elise plastered a fake smile on her face. “If you come at me again, then it wouldn’t
be an experiment because I will slaughter you!” As she said that, she glanced at Melody and warned
exasperatedly, “If you don’t want me to slaughter him, then you’d better keep a close eye on him!” With
that, Elise spun on her heel and disappeared into the crowd.
Meanwhile, Kenneth continued to look in the direction that Elise had walked off. His expression was
smitten and he looked just like a love-struck puppy.
As for Melody, she could no longer stand it so she shook her head. “How long are you going to keep
this up? Aren’t you afraid that she will really hate you?”
“No, she won’t.” Kenneth lowered his eyes and his gaze looked distant but calm. “Things will be fine
once she stops being so mindful of her image in front of me. It won’t take too long.”
“That was too deep and I didn’t understand a word you said.”
