"Chief Smith, isn't it quite impolite to stare at my fiancée like that?"
Harry Hall stood in front of Helen Melendy with a stern face, blocking the gaze Edward Smith had fixed on her.
Edward Smith, reminded by Harry Hall, finally came back to his senses and withdrew his gaze without a trace, saying, "Sorry."
He knew that it was indeed impolite to stare at Helen Melendy earlier, yet upon meeting her for the first time, he felt an inexplicable familiarity towards this girl.
That involuntary urge to get closer to her was unlike anything he had experienced before.
Even seeing her sitting in a wheelchair, he felt a slight pang of distress.
Adam Jones observed Edward Smith's unusual behavior and recalled that some time ago, when he had someone investigate Edward Smith, they inadvertently discovered that the Smith Family had been keeping an eye on Helen Melendy.
