Chapter 1870

chapter1870

Many people wanted to marry their daughters to Manfred because of the powerful Holland family behind him.

This morning, after finishing his breakfast, Manfred arrived at Holland Residence. As soon as he met Glen, a few more people came in to greet him. They were his cousins, who had just returned to Vlario not long ago.

Manfred's eyes turned cold as soon as they entered.

The scent they carried was overwhelming. Each of them wore a strong perfume, a carefully crafted blend designed to complement their clothing and personal preferences. While many might find the fragrance pleasant, Manfred could only perceive it as overpowering and irritating.

"Manfred, I heard you're knowledgeable about medicine. You even gave grandfather a prescription for his health. Could you take a look at me as well? I've been feeling unwell these past few days," Geneva Holland said. She wore a pale yellow dress, her large round eyes sparkling with a lively charm.

She was the type of person who easily attracted goodwill. Geneva was also one of Glen's favorite granddaughters. Seeing her speak up first, Glen smiled warmly.

"Very well, very well. As expected of my granddaughter, you listen well to what I say," Glen thought to himself.

Geneva's cheerful and lively personality, combined with her maturity from a young age, made her a perfect match for Manfred, who had always been distant and cold, rarely showing any warmth to others. After the many years of hardship he had endured, Manfred needed someone by his side who could understand him, someone who could offer both warmth and understanding.

He didn't trust women whose backgrounds were unknown, but he was confident that Geneva, as his granddaughter, was a safer choice.

The two other women in the room also chimed in, claiming they were feeling unwell and directing expectant gazes at Manfred.

Manfred was undeniably handsome, and among the men in Vlario, he was one of the most striking. Many women wanted to marry into the Holland family.

Every time they attended a banquet, Manfred was always the center of attention. No matter what people said about him outside, they didn't care. Their grandfather would never harm them.

Besides, they all knew about

Manfred's past. Marrying him would mean becoming the head of the household without having to deal with complicated relationships with a mother-in-law. It was far better than marrying anyone else especially since he was their cousin.

Even the princess in the palace had taken a liking to Manfred. It was clear just

how captivating he was to women. His face alone could make anyone unable to look away.

Sitting beside them, Glen couldn't

help but smile as he watched the crowd surrounding Manfred. He thought to himself, "Well, well,

Manfred might be cold by natiel

but one day, he'll soften and become the gentle man everyone expects."

"Manfred, why don't you help them out? There aren't many trustworthy doctors in this city," Glen said with a smile.

"Yes, Manfred, please help us," Geneva added sweetly, using her charm.

Manfred's eyes turned even colder, his patience all but exhausted. "I do not treat women's ailments. A woman should maintain her dignity. It is inappropriate for me to be so close to you," he said firmly.

His words, though indirect, made it clear. "Stay away from me."

Standing at the door, Kemp immediately picked up on the subtle message.

Glen couldn't help but twitch his lips in an attempt to hold back a smile. "You're

their cousin. Don't be so uptight about etiquette."

Geneva and the others were immediately taken aback, their faces filled with embarrassment as they fumbled for words.

"Men and women should keep a respectful distance. I know a doctor in Vlario who specializes in women's health. I send someone to bring. him over shortly," Manfred said, his tone still cold but somewhat accommodating, clearly only doing this as a favor to his grandfather.

Glen sighed inwardly. "Could what they say about him be true? Either he's incapable, or he simply doesn't like women?"
