Evelyn slowly woke up after being drenched with water.
But when she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was me untying her bow.
"Huh... Mr. Isaac, you, what are you doing... Ah!!"
Evelyn was completely frightened by me and quickly backed away, cowering in the corner in fear.
And because Evelyn ran away so quickly, the white panties I had just untied were left soaking on the floor, lying there all alone.
"Mr. Isaac, what... what are you doing to me!?"
"Uh... well." I swallowed nervously. "Um... you just don't misunderstand."
"Daddy?" Cascia was still outside. "Are you two done? Can I come in?"
"Wait... wait a minute!" I immediately panicked. "Daddy will come out after talking to them!! Don't come over here yet!"
If Cascia saw the current situation between Evelyn and me, I wouldn't be able to explain it at all. I would be in deep trouble. No, no, I have to find a way to salvage the situation!
But Evelyn, right now, was like a frightened squirrel, shrinking in fear and treating me like a crazed beast.
So, there was only one option...
"Evelyn!" I suddenly intensified my tone. "You must not misunderstand! I didn't mean to be rude to you just now!"
Because I suddenly switched to a serious mode, Evelyn seemed stunned by my strong and resolute aura.
The Wise Sage mode for dealing with adults was my fail-proof method in dealing with my daughter after causing trouble. I was quite confident in handling teenage girls, considering that I had been with my daughter since she was young. Therefore, seeing that it had an effect, I continued to make up lies.
"Evelyn! I saved you, haven't you noticed?!"
"Huh... Mr. Isaac saved me..."
Evelyn's last memory was being controlled by two bad guys and then losing consciousness. Now, she saw those two bad guys lying on the ground, unconscious.
Of course, it was an undeniable fact that I saved Evelyn.
"Is this... true?"
"Evelyn!" I straightened my back and leaned closer to her. "I wasn't taking off your panties just now. Please believe me! Just now, it was these two bad guys who did it. At that moment when they untied it, I happened to arrive and defeated these beasts!"
Evelyn was startled by my momentum and reacted with a few blank stares.
"But... but, Mr. Isaac, you..."
"So!" I took a deep breath. "I wasn't taking them off, I was helping you put them back on to avoid embarrassment!"
"Huh? Huh?!" Evelyn finally wavered. "Is... is that what happened?"
"Of course! It's just that you woke up halfway and misunderstood me."
After explaining this, my tone suddenly became low.
"I risked my life to fight against those two bad guys and saved you. But now you doubt me. I'm really hurt, wuwuwu."
"Well, um, Mr. Isaac!" She stumbled towards me. "I'm... I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Evelyn began using honorifics for me again and gently patted my back, trying to comfort me.
"It's... it's really an awful mistake." Evelyn began blaming herself. "To suspect my savior..."
Well, even though I was covering my face and seemed saddened, it was all an act.
I opened my fingers slightly and aimed at Evelyn, who was feeling guilty.
"Will you forgive me?"
I asked this, but Evelyn didn't immediately answer. Instead, she tightened her little fists as if she had made some sort of decision.
"Mr. Isaac, this isn't about forgiving or not forgiving!" Evelyn suddenly changed her tone. "It's me owing you! You should punish me instead!"
Well, as expected, my methods for dealing with these inexperienced young girls were more than enough. It was basically a piece of cake.
"As for punishment and such, there's no need." I stood up happily. "So let's pretend this never happened, alright?"
"But! Mr. Isaac!"
