“That’s a nice name. I know! I’ll be Carlee from now on!”
Sonny was stunned.
She definitely just picked a random name just now!
The girl seemed very pleased with her new name.
“Sonny, I’ve come to realize something during these days. My father must have been influenced by my stepmother and sold me to those men for money. He’s no longer my father,” she explained.
“If you don’t want to return to your family, what do you plan to do?”
Carlee tightly held onto Sonny’s arm, her eyes sparkling with expectation.
“I want to live with you from now on! I can take care of myself! I won’t be a burden, and I don’t eat much!”
Sonny was dumbfounded.
Training and missions had consumed most of his time since childhood.

He had never taken care of a girl, and he didn’t think it was a good idea.
In this moment of uncertainty, he blurted out, “Do you remember the scary story I told you a few days ago? I’m the monster who kills people in that story! If you follow me, you’ll meet a terrible fate!

He expected her to be frightened, but to his surprise, she gazed at him with admiration.
“Wow! That means you must be skilled at fighting.
That’s impressive!”

He was stunned again.
The girl looked at her own thin arm, a result of malnourishment, and said, “I’m too skinny. I don’t think I’d taste good. Sonny, you can fatten me up before eating me up.”
Sonny was too shocked to speak. Those words triggered some inappropriate thoughts in his mind.
Witnessing his boss and Miss Simmons flaunting their love too much, he realized he was no longer as innocent as he used to be.
As he didn’t say anything, Carlee recalled that he was sent to prison for stealing so he probably didn’t have much money. She then began suggesting alternatives, “Actually, if you can’t afford to feed me, I can find a way to earn money and support us! But I might not earn much. We’ll have to be frugal!”
Sonny was rendered speechless.
So she had made up her mind to follow him home?
Never before had he felt so utterly speechless in his life.
