“Don’t. I can’t afford that.” She, however, refused to fall for it. She giggled teasingly and said, “As long as you don’t plant your flag on my friends, do whatever you like to everyone else. Just make sure to take…precautions. That way, everyone wins.”She pushed him away and rose to her feet. She turned around and headed into the bathroom. Before she could take two steps, he seized her from behind. She was fully aware that by taking two steps, she had to take one step back. She also knew that
She stared at him as if there was an instant when she actually felt moved. However, she quickly displayed an even more satirical smile as she hooked her arms around his neck and pressed her lips against his ear. “The words of a man in bed are even more untrustworthy than his drunken babbling in a bar,” she stated as a matter-of-factly.He both loved and hated her intelligence and cunningness. He gently pushed her away and smiled serenely. “You don’t have to incite me, Vee. Just watch and see if
Edward nodded slowly as he listened to her, then asked in an affected manner, “So, is the number still engaged?”Indeed, it was still engaged. Ever since Vivian used that number to call some strange phone, that number remained engaged. On top of that, even the foreign number that Vivian had once used to call her was discovered to be a dead number after she tried dialing it again. Aside from shock, Renne was in disbelief as well. If it weren’t for the call records on her phone, she would’ve begu
At this point, it seemed like this was the most logical solution. Renne was nothing like Vivian. She had unwittingly fallen into Edward’s trap. After a bout of hesitation, she replied, “Okay.”Talking about it was easy, but the engagement party was tomorrow, and both parties came from famous and prestigious families. Even though they never planned on making it an extravagant affair, all of their good friends and relatives had already been informed. Therefore, canceling the engagement was easier
Master Levin shot him a cold glare. “What woman do you want? That Carraway girl?”“Yes,” Edward replied calmly. He was neither forceful nor acquiescent about it.“What an infatuated seed you are!” Master Levin scoffed icily. He rose to his feet with his walking stick, then went on his way out. Unexpectedly, Edward stopped him just as he had taken two steps forward. “Don’t touch her, Gramps,” he said in an even tone, “It wasn’t easy for me to get her back. I’m cherishing her now. Besides, you k
Estelle Konstantin’s mind had been preoccupied the entire day. She couldn’t continue her night-time studying either, so she packed her bags and went back home very early. She had just arrived at the alley in front of her house when she noticed Edward’s car. She was taken aback, then her heart leaped with joy. She was about to run up to him when she remembered everything that had happened yesterday, so she pretended to ignore the car and puffed out her chest as she raised her head and walked past
Edward fell silent. He stretched out his arm and ruffled her hair, then chuckled, “Silly girl, we’ve made an agreement long ago—don’t fall in love with me.”“I haven’t fallen in love with you!” Estelle objected with reddened eyes. However, when she saw the half-smile in his eyes, she no longer wished to lie to herself. She gritted her teeth and flung her arms around his neck, then she asked him in a muffled voice, “Would you have fallen for me if I had met you sooner?”Edward did not reply. Af
She seemed to be in a particularly good mood. She smiled as she lay down and propped her head against her hand. “Let me continue guessing. How did you manage to cancel the engagement? Oh, right, is Estelle’s phone with you?” she asked.Edward nodded with interest and said, “That’s right. It’s with me. Keep going.”“Mm, then I’m right. Renne couldn’t get the number to connect, and she couldn’t contact me. So, like a headless fly, she had no choice but to go to you again. You, on the other hand,
