"Call me 'Smooth' my foot!"

Linda gave no face to his gentlemanly act. Her cute, doll-like face puffed up, resembling an angry pufferfish, "You're the one called Smooth, your whole family is called Smooth!"

"Huh?"

Michael was instantly stunned, not knowing how he had offended this adorable girl, and hurriedly tried to explain, "Miss Smooth, I meant no harm. I just wanted to get to know you. Before, all my attention was on Nancy, so I overlooked you, but you're extremely cute and..."

"Ahhh!"

Linda erupted in frustration, yelling angrily at Michael, "Michael, are you out of your mind?"

"Yes."

At this moment, Henry walked over, nodding seriously at Linda, "He really is. Don't pay attention to him."

"I...!"

Michael's eyes widened, realizing what had happened. He swung a punch at Henry, "Alright, you little punk, you dared to mess with me!"

Henry was not one to be easily dealt with. As Michael's punch came, he casually blocked it with his arm. Seeing Michael wasn't stopping, Henry unceremoniously grabbed Michael's wrist, twisted it, and pinned Michael's arm behind his back.

Michael yelped in pain, "Henry! Let go of me!"

"No way!"

Henry's face darkened, and he kicked Michael in the back of the knee. Michael's leg buckled, and he dropped to his knees, his knee hitting the floor hard.

"Ah..."

Michael howled in pain, "Henry, you're dishonorable!"

"Who's talking about honor with you?"

Henry held Michael's arm firmly behind his back, immobilizing him completely.

"You suddenly showing so much interest in Linda, who knows what you're planning? She's my sister's friend, so she's under my protection. How could I let you scheme against her?"

Linda sat beside Nancy, watching Henry easily subdue Michael in just a couple of moves. His swift and clean martial arts moves impressed her greatly!

Her big eyes blinked rapidly, soon turning into heart-shaped eyes, "Wow~"

She excitedly turned to Nancy, "Nan, your brother is so cool! So protective! He said I'm his person, does that mean he'll protect me just like Charlie protects you?"

Nancy was left speechless by Linda's rapid-fire questions. Did this mean Linda liked Henry?

And not just a simple liking; she was even comparing it to her and Charlie, which was...

"Cough, cough..."

Nancy suddenly realized what was happening and quickly covered Linda's eyes with her hand, "Linda, don't look. Men fighting is scary, it might frighten you."

"Not scared, not scared, I'm not scared."

Linda removed Nancy's hand from her eyes and continued to stare at Henry with sparkling eyes, "Nan, your brother is really cool. I want to be your sister-in-law!"

Nancy, "..."

Is love that random?

In terms of age, Linda and Henry were quite suitable. But Henry worked in IT, while Linda was in the arts. Not only were their careers worlds apart, but considering Henry's background, marrying Linda might be impossible, right?
