Chapter 16 - Paragon’s Return

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Once she was back at the mansion, Alexander still hadn’t returned.

Luna quickly rushed into her own room, switched on the computer, and typed an address into the browser.

After a moment of the screen turning black, a website with a blue background before her eyes.

Website X was where all the computer experts gathered. In her previous life, she was one of the A-listers there.

After typing in her account username and password, she successfully logged in when the words “logged in successful” appeared on her screen. Luna’s eyes brightened… The account was still usable!

“Holy! Am I dreaming? Zenthia’s best is back in business?”

“Whoa! Notice me, boss!”

“Newbie, may I know who Meteo is?”

“Among the hackers from Zenthia, if Meteo claimed that he’s number 2, no one would dare to claim that he’s number 1!”

“Maybe his account was stolen? Meteo hasn’t been active for two years now!”

“I actually tried to hack into Meteo’s system just now, but my computer was immediately fried. Sob…”

“Whoa! He’s really one of the best!”

Luna felt that she had gone back in time when she looked at all the posts below.

She slapped her face and reminded herself, “Wake up. You are now Luna Brooke, the Brooke family’s eldest daughter! You’re no longer the number one assassin from Zenthia!”

Maybe they wanted to test if she was really Meteo, quite a few people had already sent her requests in less than five minutes.

Luna browsed all of them once and picked up one with SSS level difficulty.

In less than 30 minutes, she managed to finish it and received the 100,000 rewards.

The entire message board instantly became active, and all left messages under her account.

“The real Meteo is back! Do you take in apprentices? 500,000, please take me in!”

“Pick me! I’ll pay 600,000!”

“Stop bothering him! Look at me. I’m your real fan!”

“I waited for you for so long! I am your biggest fan!!!”

“Do you want a partner? I can be a man or woman!”

…

When she saw the post with the “I can be a man or woman” comment, she closed the messages and waited for the fish to take the bait.

With Meteo’s reputation on this message board, she was very confident that Clarence’s men would come looking for her.

After all, her price and ability made her the best choice for the job!

After some time, someone called Leaf contacted her.

Looking at the request, she could instantly confirm that this person was none other than Grant. She replied, “Acceptable. But I only accept one request per day, and I have already reached today’s quota. If you really want to, pay me 50,000 as a deposit. Pay me the rest after I’m done with it tomorrow.”

After Grant had just witnessed how active the message board became and after understanding what kind of existence Meteo was, he didn’t hesitate and immediately transferred 50,000.

Unfortunately, the money that went into Meteo’s account could only be withdrawn after 24 hours.

And not even she could breach through Website X’s system.

She was somewhat curious. Just how skilled was the person that created the website?

Despite her curiosity during her previous life, she was already dead before she could find out any details about that person.

“Ms. Brooke, Mr. White is home,” It was at this time that Mrs. Niles was already knocking at the door.

Warm sunlight streamed into the room. Only then did Luna notice that the sun was already setting.

“Alright, I understand.”

She stretched, switched off the computer, and went downstairs.

Alexander had just finished changing. When he saw her, he smiled softly and asked, “You didn’t go out today?”

“Ah, I did,” Luna gave it a thought and said, “I drove around. But since there’s nothing much to do, I came back.”

Alexander let out an “I see” and then sat on the sofa, and picked up the television controller. “Then let’s watch a movie?”

Luna said, “…sure.”

She wanted to ask if it was alright not to watch. But she didn’t dare ask the question.

Alexander looked at her expression and pretended not to see her reluctance. He continued, “My mom called in the afternoon, saying that she has quite a good impression of you. She said that you can go visit them sometime.”

“Oh, really?” Luna was quite surprised at that. “Then how about your dad? He’s fine with me going back too?”

Alexander’s hand pressing the controller stopped for a moment and said, “It’s fine. He just needs a little more time. My father… likes children.”

Luna was stunned. What did he mean? Was he trying to tell her that everything would be fine once they had a kid?

Both of them watched the movie for a little while as Mrs. Niles finished preparing their dinner.

“Mr. White, Ms. Brooke, dinner is ready.”

Alexander glanced at Mrs. Niles and said, “From now on, call her Mrs. White.”

“Of course, Mr. White.” The surprise in Mrs. Niles’ voice was very apparent.

That was the first time that Alexander had asked her to do that.

Luna looked at Alexander’s handsome face. She wasn’t sure why, but even she was touched.

Could this be the legendary boyfriend power of a domineering CEO?

The two of them sat opposite of each other on the table. As thanks, Luna raised her wine glass and said, “Thank you.”

“For what?” Alexander smiled as he held the wine glass.

“Thanks for sticking together with me. Thanks for believing in me. And most importantly, thanks for sheltering me…”

While it sounded like a tease, it was also from her heart.

Not only was she completely cashless, but she was also forced to take a 700,000 loan thanks to Emmett.

She had no family. No money. It was Alexander that had saved her.

Her gratitude was really from her heart.

Alexander smiled and said, “That’s all?”

Luna suddenly remembered the two kisses today, and her fair face instantly turned red like the prawns on the table. “You thug!”

Alexander smiled even more brightly. “What are you thinking? I haven’t said anything yet!”

Luna glanced at him and said, “What do you want then?”

“I have to think it through first,” Alexander seemed to be giving it a serious thought. When their eyes met once again, his eyes were as brilliant as the stars in the night sky. “Should we have a baby?”

“Pfft!”

Luna almost spat out the wine in her mouth.

“What did you say?”

Alexander instantly laughed. “I was joking. I’ll let you know once I think about it.”

Luna, “…”

Was this really the cold man they were talking about? Could it be that this one was a fake?

In the kitchen, the butler and Mrs. Niles were spying on them through the door gap and whispered between themselves.

“Mr. White laughed?”

“This is the first time since I saw Master Alexander laugh so happily in the past few years.”

“Ms. Brooke is so cute. It’s obvious that Mr. White was joking with her!”

“Didn’t you say that Ms. Brooke is quite scary? And she’s cute now?”

“…Stop framing me! I never said that..”
