Later, her grandfather taught her many skills.
She thought it was a scam at first, but it turned out to be real!
Although Cheyenne started late, she was very talented and had an incredible memory.
After just a few years, she reached a level that others might not achieve in their lifetime. Layne regretted not finding her earlier.
Lost in thought, they were already approaching the Todd mansion.
The grandfather and granddaughter exchanged a glance and planned to work together later on.
Iker's Estate.
Although the exterior of the building was European-style with Gothic spires and clock towers, inside it had minimalist decor.
There were few servants inside the house besides the security guard at the door. It felt cold and empty despite its size.
To make it easier for Iker to come and go freely, there were no thresholds on any of the doors.
One of his former subordinates became his servant and worked as the butler here too. He looked young, around twenty-five or six years old, with a baby face framed by long eyelashes over his big eyes.
He spoke with a smile, like an 18-year-old boy, which made people feel good about him.
He flashed Cheyenne a sweet smile, revealing his adorable dimples and extended his hand. "Hello, old Mr. Edwards and Miss Lawrence. My name is Tanner Mercado, the steward of the young master. You can call me Tanner from now on."
Cheyenne was quite interested in him and nodded while extending her hand to shake his. "Hi, Tanner! How old are you this year? You seem to be around my age."
Tanner widened his eyes in surprise and quickly withdrew his hand while blushing profusely like an innocent boy.
He answered Cheyenne's question unexpectedly. "Miss Lawrence, I am already twenty-five years old this year and have been serving in the army for ten years."
Huh?
Only twenty-five years old but has served in the army for ten years? Is he joking?
A cold voice sounded behind Cheyenne like melting snow in a mountain forest - clear yet icy.
"He grew up in a temple since childhood and followed me when he was fifteen," said the voice.
Cheyenne turned around to look at him with admiration shining through her eyes.
To be honest, The Todd family's young master had better looks than Kelvin; after all, he survived under life-threatening circumstances which gave off an aura of toughness and resilience about him.
Now he was wearing a white bathrobe, her short wet hair clinging to her ears, revealing a finely chiseled and handsome face. The collar was slightly open, showing off his smooth bronze skin and well-defined muscles. How could he maintain such good physique for three years despite being disabled? His granddaughter stared at his chest without blinking, even suspecting that she was drooling.
Layne's face turned black and he secretly stepped on Cheyenne's foot. She looked back with some anger and asked in a low voice with pouting red lips, "Grandpa, why did you step on me?"
"Don't embarrass the Edwards family by staring like that! You're about to pop your eyeballs out!" He remembered how handsome he used to be when he was young in the capital city. To put it mildly, he was even more handsome than this young man named Iker.
Of course, now he was old, wrinkles cover his face.
Iker noticed the eye contact between these two. In fact, when Cheyenne stared at his chest for that momentary second earlier on, he already felt disdainful towards her behavior.
Iker hates women and especially hates boy crazy!
He didn't expect Cheyenne to be a boy crazy which disappointed him greatly.
