Chapter 753: Stand Here and Don’t Move!

Only then did she realize that her clothes were probably smeared with dirt from the sapling’s muddy roots earlier, making her look a bit comical.

"Anyway, it’s already dirty, no big deal," she shrugged with a nonchalant expression.

After all, her clothes were already dirty, so a little more dirt didn’t matter.

Upon hearing her words, Noah Drexler frowned, his expression becoming a bit more serious, and he said to her, lips tightly pressed.

"If you get any dirtier, I’m throwing you out!"

He thought she might feel a hint of worry.

But unexpectedly, when she heard him sternly say he would throw her out, the little woman in front of him suddenly laughed. Strangely, instead of worrying or being scared, she seemed amused by his words.

"Oh... it’s okay, go ahead!" she pouted indifferently, then suddenly bent over, put the small box in her hand on the ground, wiped her hands on the dirt twice, and suddenly stood up, her hands aiming straight for his white shirt beneath his suit.

At the moment she raised her hand, Noah Drexler foresaw her intention and initially thought of dodging... but when he saw her face full of mischievous smiles, he was momentarily stunned, as if under a spell... and didn’t move.

Summer Shawcross’s hands landed directly on the collar and chest of Noah Drexler’s white shirt underneath his suit.

The previously pristine white shirt instantly had two grubby handprints.

Having successfully pulled off her prank, Summer Shawcross’s face lit up with a pleased expression, and she smugly looked at Noah Drexler, deliberately saying.

"Now you’re dirty too, why don’t you throw yourself out?"

Seeing her overly pleased look, Noah Drexler’s gaze deepened.

In the next second, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in them, and with pursed lips, he asked her.

"Summer Shawcross, is this fun?"

The man’s utterly serious voice startled Summer Shawcross, pulling her back to reality from her successful prank.

"Uh... sorry..." Just as she was about to admit defeat and run away, it was too late...

The man had already reached out and lifted her up off the muddy ground.

Summer Shawcross, greatly alarmed, clutched his neck, thinking he was going to punish her by tossing her into the muddy mess.

Even though she was already quite dirty now, she didn’t want to become a mudwoman...

As she clung fearfully to his neck, Noah Drexler simply held her and strode toward a corner of the garden.

Once they reached a clean area with a lawn in the garden, Noah Drexler bent down and set her down.

Summer Shawcross looked stunned...

"Stand here, don’t move!" Noah Drexler looked down at her, warning her with full seriousness.

He had an obsession with cleanliness and couldn’t stand her getting any dirtier!

Otherwise, he was afraid he might actually carry her straight home and into the bathroom, to clean her up!

She was stunned, even more surprised inside.

Just standing here? She thought... he would exact some revenge for her prank earlier.

"Oh..." she paused, then hastily nodded obediently, blinking at him.

Happiness came too suddenly, she thought she surely wouldn’t get away from a good scolding today, but unexpectedly...

Seeing her obedient nod, Noah Drexler finally raised his hand, took off his suit, and handed it to her.
