Chapter 1106: "Ah..." Harlee let out a soft laugh, standing up slightly.
"You figured it out so fast? No wonder you were trained as the heir to the Green Group from a young age.
Even at ten, you can see through so much." She opted for honesty, unfazed by the possibility that the younger Rhys might dislike her.

Seeing Rhys' conflicted expression, Harlee instinctively tightened her grip on the umbrella. She had spoken to him in a casual, light tone earlier, but deep down, she cared deeply whether he agreed to return with her. She was genuinely worried that he might stubbornly remain out in the rain. Noticing the caution in his eyes, Harlee paused and then met his gaze with steady resolve.
