Chapter 182: Too close, way too close

"About Miss Alice?"

Ryan's previously relaxed eyebrows furrowed instantly. He hadn't expected Mia to bring up Alice.

He had stepped outside just to get away from all this stuff, and now here he was, being forced to face it again. He felt a bit resistant.

Ryan was about to refuse,he didn't know much about Alice and was ready to suggest Mia find someone else to talk to.

"Big brother~ You wouldn't say no to your cute little Mia, would you?"

Though still a child, Mia knew how to use her looks more skillfully than many adults.

Her big eyes misted up, and her lips pouted as if she had suffered the greatest injustice.

Ryan almost felt guilty, as if turning Mia down would be embarrassingly rude.

"Even if you put it that way..."

Ryan shook his head vigorously, trying to rid himself of that weird thought.

He wondered if Mia had some kind of system installed, maxing out her charm attributes at just thirteen.
