Denny sighed. "Why are you so stubborn? You don't want to trouble us, yet aren't you always there for us when we're going through something? If it weren't for you back then...there might not be the Denny you see now. Sometimes, showing a little vulnerability doesn't mean you're weak. You're just too strong-willed; that's why those two women always get the upper hand. At the end of the day, your dad is just an ordinary man, and no man can ever resist feminine wiles. I think you need to adjust your strategy a bit."
Rita laughed as she listened to Denny's earnest advice on how to deal with Karen and Sadie. "We're not in some kind of soap opera. There's not that much scheming and plotting in real life, you know?" "Trust me, all the things I'm teaching you will come in handy someday. So just keep them in mind, yeah?"
"Alright, alright. How about we focus on getting my makeup done first, so that I can at least get through tonight's dinner party?" Rita closed her eyes tiredly. "I'm going to take a quick nap... I didn't sleep well last night."
"Go ahead. Rest assured you're in good hands. I promise to make you look a hundred times more elegant than that mother-daughter duo!"
Denny could not help but sigh when he noticed Rita had fallen asleep in under a second. He then could not help but grit his teeth as soon as he touched her flawless face.
'She claimed she didn't sleep well last night, but there's not even a hint of dark circles under her eyes! That's so unfair!' he thought.
By the time Rita woke up, Denny had prepared her outfit.
"Umm, how long did I sleep? It feels like it's been ages."
"Only about an hour. Seriously, how long has it been since you've had a proper rest? One moment you're talking to me, the next you're asleep. Even pigs don't sleep as much as you do."
Rita yawned and was about to pat her face to wake herself up when Denny grabbed her wrist.
"You fool. I just finished doing your makeup. Patting your face now would ruin all my hard work!"
"Oops, sorry. I was still half asleep," said Rita with a sheepish smile. "Wow, you're amazing! All the imperfections on my face are gone, and I look so radiant!"
"Hmph! I must admit that only with your face can I fully showcase my skills. After all, you already have a flawless face to begin with."
Rita's beauty was something he could ever fully capture. Yes, he could enhance her beauty through the use of makeup, but it was not something he could ever fully capture.

"Every time I do your makeup, I feel both delighted and frustrated. Delighted because your naturab M complexion is so good that it allows me to freely showcase my skills, but frustrated because you're already so beautiful that my makeup just adds a tiny fraction of enhancement," Denny said.

Rita immediately gave him a glare. "Nonsense! My complexion looks terrible, but after you do my makeup, I look like I've had ten hours of sleep every day. Alright, could you leave the room? I gotta change into my evening gown and call the driver to pick me up. Otherwise, Dad will start lecturing me again. You know, the older he gets, the more he loves to repeat himself. It's annoying."

Even though she was complaining,
there was a faint smile on her face,
her facen
which reassured Denny. No matter
how Rita's family dynamics changed,
as long as Vince, her father, still cared about her, that was enough. Visit Popsnovel.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
