Maria clearly had not recognized her own endearing qualities.

Anthony could not help but want to do something when he noticed that Jay and Darren were stealing glances at Maria.

Unfortunately, those actions he had in mind were all against the Law, and law-abiding citizens were not allowed to do them.

Noticing the confusion on Maria's face, Anthony lowered his voice and stated, "That is the simplest law in nature. Every male species has an innate need to protect his territory by warning off potential intruders.

After contemplating for a long time, Maria asked, “So, is it equivalent to... The dog in the village... Which would pee on the telegraph pole?”

The complacent smile on Anthony's face froze in an instant.

By the time she was known simply as “Mia,” Maria had amassed a huge following. From what he could tell, she should have come up with a better metaphor at this moment. Well... Somehow, she only came up with such a vulgar analogy.

“Maria.” Anthony clenched his teeth and murmured, “You are already 20. Do you know what it means?"

“That I can smoke and drink legally?" Maria raised her head and asked in confusion.

Anthony's massive frame shook as he struggled valiantly to stay upright.

He leaned closer to her, whispering, “It means that... Dogs peeing on a telegraph pole... It's already Legal!”

Maria was taken aback for a few moments and quickly became red with embarrassment .

She got it!

The meaning of his words was immediately clear to her.

But she was a Little nervous. She wanted to get away mainly to avoid spending more time with Anthony.

Maria's eyes widened in shock as she glanced at Anthony.

She suddenly recalled their initial encounter. Anthony was gentle with her when they signed the fake engagement document because he knew she was still young.

“Oh my God, it seems I am an adult now... In that case, I can only take it on my own when something happens?"

She murmured to herself.

“Maria, Anthony. Someone is at our house!"

Julie answered the phone and hurried to find the two of them.

But then she noticed Maria's red face and Anthony's snicker.

"Okay... Jack said they were Looking for Maria. Well, what are you doing?"

Maria pursed her lips and remained silent while Anthony smiled. "Nothing. Let's go home."
