Chapter 450: Chapter 450: You’ve Been Fooled Big Time

The user ’Security Guard in Zenvia’ hadn’t expected to actually be the one chosen. He froze for a moment before realizing what had happened.

He waved at the camera. "Hi, streamer."

"Hello," Renee Jennings said, glancing at his username. "What should I call you?"

Security Guard in Zenvia: "You can just call me Shepherd."

After he spoke, he saw that the live comments were all about his looks and his voice.

[OMG, as someone with a thing for hands, I’m practically drooling!]

[Hey handsome security guard, what’s it look like under that mask??]

[Damn, his voice is incredible too... Is there anything God didn’t bless you with? Your mouth, maybe?]

[The guy doesn’t want to show his face, so let’s not push it. Let’s get to the gossip!]

Shepherd wasn’t offended. Instead, he patiently explained, "Sorry, ladies. The streamer’s channel gets a lot of traffic, and I’m worried someone I know might recognize me."

[Honestly, people who know you could probably recognize you even with the mask.]

[Hahaha, but they’d still have to second-guess themselves, so the mask does help.]

"Still, I can let you all see if my mouth looks like an ape’s," Shepherd said, seemingly very good-natured. "Just a second."

He found a pair of sunglasses and put them on before finally taking off his mask. Revealing a perfect smile, he asked, "So? A bit better than an ape, wouldn’t you say?"

[Dude, you’re so cautious! It’s either a mask or sunglasses!]

[With a face like that, you should be in showbiz!]

[A gorgeous guy with monolids! I’m totally crushing!]

[Handsome security guard, are you single?]

Shepherd put his mask back on and chuckled. "Thanks for all the compliments, but I’m getting married soon."

[Congratulations!]

[Wishing you a happy marriage!]

Renee also spoke up softly. "Shepherd, my early congratulations on your marriage."

"Thank you, streamer. Thanks, everyone." A clear note of joy was in Shepherd’s voice.

"So, did you call in because you need my help with something?" Renee asked.

Shepherd nodded and explained, "Actually, streamer, I haven’t proposed to my girlfriend yet. I’m still planning how to do it."

Renee raised an eyebrow slightly. "Are you here to ask everyone for proposal ideas?"

"Not exactly," Shepherd said. "My girlfriend has a Bengal cat. A couple of days ago, she asked me to take it to my sister’s pet shop for a bath. I’ve washed it, but I haven’t taken it back yet."

He stood up, phone in hand, and flipped the camera to show a Bengal cat lying languidly on its back. "I was hoping you could help me ask May if she’s ever heard my girlfriend mention what kind of proposal she’d like."

[May: You’re really putting me in a tough spot.]

[This security guard really cares about his girlfriend. Good for him, keep it up!]

[A man who puts this much effort into a proposal is already better than most.]

[There’s no gossip here. Next!]

Some of the comments made Renee chuckle. "What if the next caller doesn’t have any gossip either? I’ll try asking for Shepherd first. What if the cat really has heard something?"

Shepherd said gratefully, "Streamer, thank you for being willing to help!"

"Don’t mention it," Renee said with a smile. "Is the kitty’s name May?"

"Yes," Shepherd nodded. "Her name is May."

Hearing her name, May immediately rolled over and sat up. She stared curiously at his phone, letting out a questioning meow. ’Huh? What’s going on? Who’s calling me?’

"Hello, May," Renee began. "I’m Renee Jennings. Can I talk with you for a bit?"

Shepherd switched the camera back to the front-facing view and held the screen up to May, stroking her fur. "Be a good girl, May. Answer the streamer’s questions, okay?"

’What questions?’ May wondered, her round eyes blinking in confusion at the image of Renee on the screen.

"Are you the kitty that belongs to Shepherd’s girlfriend?" Renee asked.

’Huh?’ May blinked her feline eyes.

Renee then asked Shepherd, "What’s your girlfriend’s name?"

Shepherd: "Her name is Sophie."

"Okay," Renee said to May. "Do you know Sophie?"

At the sound of the name, May immediately nodded her furry little head. ’Of course I know her! She’s the little master’s mommy~’

"Hmm?" Thinking she must have misheard, Renee asked again, "May, who did you say Sophie is?"

May: ’The little master’s mommy!’

Renee: "..."

She pressed her lips together and asked hesitantly, "Shepherd, are you sure your girlfriend’s name is Sophie?"

[I suddenly have a premonition!]

[Long-time fans will know this feeling... The security guard’s wedding might be off~~~]

[Streamer, what’s wrong?]

Shepherd glanced at the comments and couldn’t help but frown. He nodded. "Streamer, I’m positive my girlfriend’s name is Sophie. What’s wrong?"

"Okay, hang on. Let me ask again to be sure." Renee frowned at May. "Who is this ’little master’ you’re talking about?"

May tilted her head. ’The little master is Bella!’

"Shepherd," Renee said softly. "Do you know a Bella?"

"I do," Shepherd said. "Bella is Sophie’s little sister. She’s four years old."

[Huh? How old is your girlfriend? She has a sister that young!]

[Dude... your girlfriend isn’t underage, is she?]

"No, she’s not," Shepherd’s voice held a trace of exasperation. "My girlfriend is an adult. She’s twenty-six, two years older than me."

[Oh, so you’re the younger one~~]

[A classic older woman/younger man romance.]

[Your girlfriend must be incredible!]

The corners of Shepherd’s mouth lifted slightly under his mask. "She is pretty incredible. Sometimes I feel like I don’t deserve her."

"Is that so?" Renee’s expression grew serious. "Then are you certain that Bella is your girlfriend’s sister?"

"Of course I’m certain." Shepherd found her question strange. "Streamer, why are you asking that? Is Bella someone else’s sister?"

May looked at the screen, then at Shepherd, her bright, feline eyes filled with curiosity.

[Don’t tell me Bella was trafficked???]

[Streamer, just tell us what’s going on! The suspense is killing me!]

[Something’s definitely not right here!]

[AAAAH WHAT IS HAPPENING?!]

Renee spoke hesitantly. "Bella isn’t your girlfriend’s sister. It’s possible she’s your girlfriend’s daughter."

Shepherd let out a dazed, "Huh?" "Wait... streamer, what are you talking about? I don’t understand a single word you’re saying."

[Poor guy. He’s been lied to!]

[Dude, if you don’t get it, let me spell it out for you: You’ve been had! Big time!]

[His girlfriend has a four-year-old daughter?]

Renee: "This is what May told me. We’ll need to ask more questions to get the details."

"How could Bella possibly be Sophie’s daughter?" Shepherd’s tone was grave. "Streamer, please, ask May again. Maybe she got it wrong? Sophie can’t have a daughter. Bella has always called her ’sister’."
