Levant said nothing as he gazed at her disdainfully.
The next day, Daphne prepared two plates of stroopwafels and headed to his room. She was so excited she even skipped breakfast.
I can enjoy the plate of delicious stroopwafels while looking at the love of my life. How awesome is that?
After a few days, Levant might fall for me.
Both the handsome man and the title of duchess will belong to me. This is killing two birds with one stone!
Alas, before Daphne could enter his room, she was stopped.
âMs. Ankins, Mr. Levant is busy. He doesnât have time for you.â
âBusy? Itâs too early for him to be busy. Move out of my way. Iâll see it for myself.â
âMs. Ankins, Mr. Levant saidââ
âGet out of my way!â
âMs. Ankins, you canât go in!â
âHow dare you block my way? Are you blind? Move!â
Daphneâs yells alarmed Levant, who walked out of his room. He frowned at the sight of the plate which her maid was holding.
âLevant, I brought your favorite snacks. But your maids wonât let me in! You need to punish them!â she complained.
He took one look at her and accepted the plate of snacks. âOkay. Iâve taken the snacks, you can leave now.â
Daphne fell silent at his answer.
Did he just take the plate?
This is an unexpected situation!
After brief contemplation, she started pestering Levant, insisting on seeing him finishing the plate of snacks.
Deep down, she had decided to take the plate of snacks away from Levant once she entered his room and deprived him of his favorite snack.
A seductive smile flitted across Levantâs lips.
Daphne thought he was about to agree to let her in, but Levant handed the plate to the maids who refused to let her in earlier.
âRemember! If Ms. Ankins ever comes here again with any snacks, donât inform me or let me see them. Just finish the snacks among yourselves.â
The maids nodded and started munching on the snacks as ordered.
Daphne was stunned. What just happened?
Did the maids just finish the snacks I prepared for him?
That means I canât use this excuse to meet him anymore!
âLevant!â she whined.
âJust go back. I donât want to see you ever again,â he said in a very cold and stern tone.
âBut Levantââ
However, he turned and went into his room. Daphneâs heart sank at the sight.
Depriving him of his favorite snacks doesnât work!
That b*tch mustâve lied to me. She didnât use this trick to seduce Levant.
How dare she lie to me? Now, Levant loathes me even more. I wonât let her go easily!
As Nicoleâs condition remained the same, giggling at everyone she saw, her five bodyguards got worried.
âWhat should we do now? Mrs. Seet is still acting this way. I think their doctorâs hands are tied.â
âYes. Mrs. Seetâs condition got worse today. Will she miss the best time to get treated?â
âWhat are we to do now? Why donât we call Mr. Davin? He might be able to come up with something.â
âThat sounds like a great idea. Itâs practically impossible for us to bring Mrs. Seet out.â
âWho will make the call?â
âIâll do it.â
One bodyguard whipped out his phone to call Davin.
When he heard the news, he was shocked beyond believe.
âWhat? Mrs. Seet became mentally challenged? How did she become an idiot?â
The bodyguard explained everything and emphasized, âMr. Davin, weâve run out of ideas. They wonât allow us to bring her back, but weâre afraid of holding up her treatment. Can you do something about it?â
