Duoduo demanded that her own brother also come to serve as her personal bodyguard.
This was simply an impossible thought.
How could William Shaw possibly make extensive use of both siblings without fully understanding their backgrounds, allowing them to come close to him at will?
Originally, he had the right to refuse and no obligation to explain.
But seeing Duoduo's demeanor, he couldn't help but feel compelled to offer her an explanation.
Clearly, Duoduo was unhappy with his refusal and uninterested in his explanation.
Yet, the more she behaved this way, the more he felt the need to explain.
William Shaw himself was somewhat confused by this odd emotion.
But when Duoduo was silent and dismissive, he felt as if he had fallen into a bizarre trap.
It was as if, no matter how she treated him, he had to make her happy again, get her to pay attention to him once more.
