Chapter 469: I’m Sorry Father
Photos of Tory were sent to Ethan’s email box.
He used the most sophisticated network to search for his information but found nothing.
Ethan was greatly surprised.
No matter whether he was a common civilian or a nationally important figure, there should be some information about him as long as he had a legal identity.
Ethan called Dora without delay. “Tell me when the man appears again.”
Dora just lay down on her bed and felt confused. “Does he have a criminal record?”
“No, he has no criminal records at all!” Ethan snorted.

In Orton Manor.
Tory lightly knocked on the door, then pushed it open, walking inside. “Are you still up?”
Ben was sitting on his bed with a tablet in his arms. “Is it from a woman?” He pointed at the small box in Tory’s hand.
Tory smiled, then put the cake on the table. “Why don’t you have a taste?”
Ben showed a dislike on his face. “Do you like her?” He moved his eyes back to the screen of his tablet.
It seemed he had no intention to get off the bed.
“Not really.” Tory opened the box, then snapped his fingers. “Come here.”
Ben unwillingly put his tablet down, then put on his small slippers. The second his sight fell on the cake, he rounded his eyes in surprise.
His mouth was watering but pretended that he wasn’t interested in it. “Father, you know I don’t eat desserts.”
“Try it, but control yourself so that you’ll become a real man,” Tory said and laid his big palm on Ben’s head.
Ben looked at his father, who was his idol, then nodded with great force.
He used a fork and ate a large piece of it, then put the fork down at once.
“Not so delicious as the cake in a Michelin starred restaurant, but not bad,” Ben said in an adult.
Tory smiled. “Brush your teeth before you go to bed.”
“I will, father.” Ben watched Tory leaving like a little gentleman.
The second the door of his room closed, Ben ate the rest of the cake up within seconds before he jumped onto his bed and continued to play on his tablet.
In the early morning, a maid went to knock on the door of Tory’s room in a hurry.
Nina opened the door in her sleeping gown and looked displeased. “Couldn’t you wait a moment?”
The maid directly walked by her and shouted to the inside, “Mr. Romeo, Lord Ben has a sudden toothache.”
Hearing that, Tory threw Nina away without hesitation and strode outside, followed by the maid who was trotting to catch him up. “I just went to wake Lord Ben up, but his face is swollen…”
With a loud sound, Tory kicked the door of Ben’s room open.
Ben already changed his clothing and was now rolling on his bed, covering his half face.
“What happened?” Tory hugged Ben in his arms. “Call the doctor!”
“The doctor is on his way here,” the maid replied, lowering her head.
Nina walked over at a slow pace, then leaned on the door looking at them.
Tory glanced at the desktop, and there was only an empty box left on it.
Ben’s eyes were already red after crying, and he did his best not to cry again when Tory showed up. “I-I planned to brush m-my teeth after watching the film, b-but…”
“But you directly fell asleep,” Nina coldly added.
Tory turned to stare at Nina with a mad face, and Nina straightened her body up instantly. “I have painkillers. Does Ben need a pill?”
Ben held his father’s hand and shook it lightly. Tory then snapped at them, “Get out now!”
The maid and Nina stepped out at once, and Ben said to Tory, “I’m sorry, father. I didn’t listen to you, and I can’t be a real man in the future.”
Tory, however, still smiled. “Ben, you can still become a real man if you can be brave and wait for the doctor.”
“Really?” Ben’s eyes lit up.
“Of course,” Tory said with a tender smile.
“I can wait!” Ben sat upright. Although his teeth were still painful, he never cried a tear again.

Kylie needed to shoot several shots for the scenes where she met Tory yesterday.
Seeing the man hired by Dora, Kylie raised a smile. “Dora, I challenge you to find an uglier man.”
Dora laughed. “I think he’s good. He’s a typical Thai.”
“Fine.” Kylie gave in.
An interpreter said something to the Thai, and he nodded, then bowed to Kylie with his palms pressed against each other before his chest. After that, he walked to the shelves in the supermarket.
When they were acting, Fannie, who stood aside, was amused.
Kylie spoke in English, while the man spoke in Thai, so neither of them understood the other, but they both devoted themselves to their roles.
The scene of their first meeting was done after a short while, and the crew went to the counter to film the next scene where Tory helped Kylie pay her bill.
Fannie took the shopping basket from Kylie’s hand and asked with a smile, “How did you feel?”
“Aargh, it was so awkward,” Kylie said.
Today was a little hot, and there was a layer of dense sweat on Kylie’s back now.
“Fannie, can you find any Popsicles here?” Kylie waved her hand to cool herself down. “I feel so hot and thirsty now.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“I’ll see.” Fannie gave the shopping basket back to Kylie, then went to the freezer.
The moment Kylie turned around, someone patted her shoulder.
“You didn’t keep your promise.” The man’s voice was husky.
Kylie turned around again and saw Tory smiling at her. “Tory?”
Tory pointed at the Thai. “You promised me to find a handsome man to replace me.”
Kylie felt embarrassed. “Um, I’m sorry. The man is hired by our producer, and she thinks he’s good-looking.”
Tory then looked to the crew members around the counter. “Do you mean the ladyboy?” he said with a slight surprise.
There were many people around Dora, and Tory didn’t point her name out, but Kylie subconsciously felt he was talking about Dora.
Without thinking further, Kylie reached out her hand to cover Tory’s mouth. “Don’t say that!”
When her soft hand fell on Tory’s lips, he was struck dumb for a second, and the special fragrance of a woman flew into his nose.
Tory’s heart lost a beat.
He followed his instinct and lightly licked Kylie’s palm.
Like lightning, Kylie drew her hand back. She flushed red in a second. “Um, I need to go back to work now.”
Afterward, she quickly walked to those crew members.
Seeing Kylie walking away, Tory was a little upset.
“Mr. Romeo.” Nina showed up behind Tory all of a sudden, and her eyes were full of jealousy. “An American?”
There was a sexy smile on Tory’s lips. “Why don’t I have a taste?” he said and turned around, walking away.
Once Tory got in his Dodge Ram 1500, Ben, who sat on the rear seat, said, “Are they shooting a film inside?”
“A reality show,” Tory said and fastened the safety belt. “How is everything going with your work in your Uncle An’s film?”
“Great.” Ben’s voice wasn’t very clear with medical cotton stuffed in his mouth.
