Yara continued to grumble about Lucian until she got to the car. Why was a grown man so nosy? He was already 30 but he acted like a child who couldn't stop tattling.Unfortunately, he was also Calista's ill husband. She couldn't even chastise him. The situation left her feeling frustrated. What she needed right now was to relax.Her phone rang, momentarily distracting her. Yara checked the caller ID and saw that it was one of her disreputable friends. It was such a nice coincidence that someone was offering themselves up to her unprompted. She picked up the call. "Where should we meet? My treat.""Huh?"The man had called her up to borrow some money and hadn't expected Lady Luck to be on his side at all. He answered excitedly, "We'll go wherever you want, Ms. Yara."Yara gave it some thought. "Luminary Lounge?"Timothy's face immediately surfaced in her mind as soon as she said these words. She shuddered and hastily changed her mind. "No. Let's go somewhere else. Are there any

Timothy had originally been facing the car window. After hearing what Yara had to say, he turned around to look at her. "Are you sure I'm the one toying with you, and not the other way around?"There was an unclear emotion hidden in his narrowed eyes. He reached out and lightly brushed his fingertips across her face."Did you forget that you have a boyfriend, Yaya? Shouldn't you be steering clear of activities that would make you look bad?"Yara already felt bad about what happened tonight. But now that he was mentioning it, she felt even more guilty."Tonight was just a misunderstanding. I didn't know they would arrange for any of that…""My legs feel weak. I can't walk straight." Timothy took the opportunity to dictate his terms.She was left with no other choice but to help him upstairs. The moment the door opened, he pressed her against the door and wrapped his arms around her waist. His lips hovered near her neck. "Yaya…" he whispered, his warm breath brushing against her.

To her shock, she only saw Calista. She was wearing a white mid-length sweater and a pair of white wide-legged trousers. Other than the coat draped in her arms, her hands were empty. There was a stark contrast between her and the other travelers who were carrying various bags. Yara's mind immediately went into overdrive. Where was Lucian? Could he have really lost his memory and fallen in love with another woman like in the movies? It couldn't be. They had gone abroad specifically for his treatment. Calista would not have left his side. Could something have happened?Yara rushed over to Calista and held her hand tightly. She stuck her head around to look behind Calista. "Where's Lucian?""He…"Their surroundings were too noisy. Just as Yara leaned in to try and hear what Calista was saying, Calista was pulled away from her. Then, she raised her head to look toward where Calista had been pulled to. Lucian stood in front of Calista with his hands around her waist, blocking Yara. H

Lucian remained silent as he contemplated how to tactfully express his distaste for the raw meat without hurting Calista's feelings. He pondered about it throughout the journey home and mentally prepared himself for the conversation.However, before he could take any action, Callie had already sensed something amiss. Lucian's demeanor gave away his struggle. His gaze landed everywhere except her lips.Calista questioned him, "Are you disgusted with me?"He answered without hesitation, "No." He was not disgusted, he was just…"Really?" She eyed him with suspicion. Looking at his serious expression, she playfully reached out and cupped his face. She stood on her tiptoes, about to kiss him. As she got closer, her sweet, feminine scent enveloped him. Lucian instinctively reached out to hold her.Initially, he was concerned that she would lose her balance. When he realized her intentions, her soft lips were already in proximity to his. Instinctively, he tilted his head back to avoid

Lucian felt irritated by what he had just witnessed. Although he didn't know Paul, a brief encounter was enough for him to be sure that he didn't like him.He walked in front of Calista and lowered his head to inspect the red stain on her clothes. He placed his hand on her shoulder and discreetly put himself between Paul and Calista. "Go upstairs and change." Calista was still wiping her clothes with her head lowered, not noticing his jealousy. "Okay."Paul met Lucian's cold gaze. He snorted and rolled his eyes. Despite his memory loss, Lucian remained hostile toward him.Selena accompanied Calista upstairs to change her clothes, leaving the men in the living room to the three men.Cade looked at Lucian with curiosity. "You really don't remember anything?"Lucian furrowed his brows, disliking the scrutiny. Callie had already briefed him about the interpersonal relationships that surrounded him before they came back. He was aware that Cade was his close confidant in the past.
