"Eileen, this is for you. Merry Christmas!"
Under Amy's murderous gaze, Mike pulled out another pair of wool gloves and gave them to the elegant secretary, Eileen.
"Thank you—!" Eileen smiled slightly upon receiving the gift.
It was as beautiful as melting snow and ice.
Yes, compared to Amy, who wore every emotion on her face, the secretary, who always maintained a serious demeanor, could be considered a cold beauty.
"Unfair! Why is my gift so casual?" As expected, Amy, feeling that she was being treated differently, finally couldn't hold back.
Her puffed-out cheeks made her look like a 'big-headed' pufferfish.
"You wouldn't know this! In the cold winter, socks can warm your feet. Likewise, they can also bring you good luck..." Mike explained earnestly, "This is a gift full of warmth and blessings."
"Then why is there only one?" Amy foolishly asked.
This little maid, who served as bodyguard, driver, and chef, among other roles, seemed quite unintelligent in daily life, aside from her formidable combat skills.
"One sock represents uniqueness..." Alright, unable to make up any more excuses, Mike straightened his face and asked, "Just tell me, do you want it or not? If not, give it back to me."
"No way! How can a gift be taken back once it's given?" Overwhelmed by his imposing manner, Amy clutched the sock tightly in her hand.
At the same time, two faint blushes appeared on her slightly chubby, baby-faced cheeks.
Giving socks for Christmas actually has another meaning: it represents 'family'.
The seemingly foolish Amy, it seemed, was not so simple after all.
After teasing the little maid, Mike, under Helen's strange gaze, went and sat next to Mia.
At this moment, the television in the living room was broadcasting the Apple Channel's "Christmas performance."
The three girls from The Plastics were fortunate enough to participate in this highly-rated grand performance. The song they were about to perform was the Christmas single Mike had given them last year.
"Oh, right, Mike. We also prepared a special gift for you." After pouring Mike a glass of champagne, Helen turned to the little maid and the secretary and said, "Eileen, go to my room and bring the gift box Queen Renaldi sent."
Before long, a palm-sized gift box was delivered into Helen's hand.
"To thank you for your previous help to Mia, please accept this 'Medal of Friendship'." Helen solemnly handed the golden medal, which had a castle engraved on the front and a handshake pattern on the back, to Mike.
This small medal represented the friendship of Genovia.
Therefore, this gift was given by Helen, but the true giver of the gift was the Queen of Genovia.
It could be considered deeply symbolic.
Similarly, Queen Renaldi's action also demonstrated her high regard for Mike.
"I will cherish it." Mike accepted the gift box, which symbolized friendship, with both hands.
"Alright, you young people have fun. I won't be an eyesore here." Helen, having given the gift, seemed to have completed a major task.
Immediately, she got up and walked upstairs, looking at Mike specifically before leaving.
Sitting on the sofa, Mike, accompanied by beauties, was not as well-behaved as he seemed.
Helen had noticed something, and to spare her daughter embarrassment, she chose to leave.
"Mia, did you miss me?" As the elder left, Mike's actions became more unrestrained.
Princess Mia, whose defenses had fallen, leaned softly against Mike, her cheeks as red as a plump, juicy apple.
Although the two already knew each other intimately, Princess Mia was inevitably shy in such a setting.
Thus, their subsequent interaction completely became Mike's domain.
Just as Princess Mia was being 'teased' to the point of being overwhelmed, Mike stopped in time and turned to look at the little maid and the secretary behind them.
The meaning was clear: he was 'asking' why they hadn't left yet.
Although both the little maid and the secretary were very beautiful, Mike did not have a penchant for live performances.
"Amy, Eileen, you two come over too..." Princess Mia, catching her breath, issued an invitation.
"This..." Mike looked at the hesitantly approaching little maid and secretary, then turned to look at the shy Princess Mia in his arms, a look of surprise on his face.
This, this seemed to be getting a bit out of hand!
"Don't tell me you have no thoughts about them?" Looking at the man's expression, feigning innocence after having his way, Princess Mia retorted sourly.
Indeed, jealousy is a woman's nature.
Of course, Mike was not a good person either.
Earlier, teasing the little maid and the secretary in front of Princess Mia had already exposed his lustful nature.
"I admit Amy and Eileen are very attractive, but before doing anything, shouldn't I first ask for their consent?" With beauty before him, Mike did not hide his desire.
At the same time, he also chose to respect their wishes.
"Your Royal Highness, the future Prince, we are willing to serve you alongside the Princess." At this moment, Eileen, with a blush on her face yet maintaining a serious demeanor, was truly the epitome of pure desire.
Amy, who was more outgoing, lowered her head shyly and hummed in agreement, not daring to look into Mike's eyes.
"Are you relieved now?" Princess Mia glanced at Mike reproachfully.
This time, Mia's return to Medford for school also carried an important mission: to try and bring Mike back with her when she returned to Genovia.
And Amy and Eileen were tasked with helping the Princess complete this mission.
Overall, Queen Renaldi had used a 'honey trap' on Mike.
Mike clearly realized this, but looking at the three alluring beauties before him, ready for his pleasure, between being a beast and being worse than a beast, he decisively chose the former.
This was a choice any normal male would make.
[Temperament Attribute +6]... [Flexibility Attribute +3]... [Gun Experience +1]...
[Charm Attribute +15]... [Combat Experience +6]... [Constitution Main Attribute +1]...
[Charm Attribute +15]... [Flexibility Attribute +2]... [Gun Experience +1]...
...
The battle continued from the living room all the way to Mia's Princess Suite.
Mike naturally stayed overnight in the grand villa, and a night of intense effort brought him a vast number of light orbs.
After a thorough exchange, facing an excellent man like Mike, the little maid and the secretary also revealed their 'weak yet eager to play' nature.
Fortunately, school was already on holiday.
Mike, still enjoying the novelty, stayed two more days in the grand villa, continuously refreshing his attributes.
In the days that followed, Mike also enjoyed a leisurely winter vacation.
When he had time, he would chat with girls like Mia and Lina. When bored, he would stay at home and play Ludo or chess with little Paige.
It's worth mentioning that Paige refused her parents' Christmas vacation plans this year.
While Mike was enjoying his harmonious life and leisure, the business at Georgie's arcade was booming.
The cold weather made the arcade's business exceptionally popular.
However, just as Georgie was feeling proud, he suddenly received bad news—Mandy's father was coming.
Including Christmas, Mandy hadn't been home for over half a year. This kind of disappearing act naturally drew her family's attention.
Therefore, under her father's pressing phone calls, the girl told him about her recent situation.
Hearing that his daughter had been abducted and was pregnant out of wedlock, Mandy's father, in his anger, naturally couldn't sit still.
