Claude cleaned the bedsheets and washed Lexi up. Then, he changed her into clean clothes.He was forced to use a small floral print blanket to cover his waist.The two sat on the couch. She had brainstormed so many words to curse Claude, but in the end, she only managed to ask, "What on earth are you thinking?"She thought, "Who does that right after they return from a trip? Is he not afraid of consequences?"Seeing her flustered and angry, Claude chuckled lightly and joked, "Of course, I was thinking about you and not any other women."Lexi was speechless at his words.While smoking a cigarette, he held out his phone to her, saying arrogantly, "Pay up."This time, she was truly shocked. How dare he!"I won't. You should pay me instead," she retorted. It was not like she had dragged him into this mess.Claude narrowed his eyes and asked in a raspy voice, "Then, how about I support you instead?"Lexi fell silent, but she eyed Claude warily while asking, "What do you mean?"Th

"Okay, sure. I'll have them go to your place now," Gwen brought up the matter of Mary again. "Mary has always wanted to apologize, but I haven't agreed to meet her. I heard she's been grounded at home now."Lexi raised an eyebrow and smiled. "That's good. She wouldn't cause any trouble by staying home."Gwen hung up the phone and muttered to herself.

In the past, Sandra would punish Lexi the moment Eugenie cried. Sandra was so furious that her chest hurt. "Have you gone mad, Lexi? What the hell did you come here for?" Lexi turned her head to look at her with a smile. "I'm still of sound mind, Mom. I have not forgotten about that rumor from the Lindts that spread on the internet a while back." Sandra knew about this, too. She felt very embarrassed at the time, and she wished no one would find out that Lexi was her daughter. "This has nothing to do with your younger sister. Genny is not the type who would spread rumors behind people's backs. You should know those relatives from the Lindt family very well. What do the rumors they spread have to do with Genny?"Plus, aren't you fine right now? The online news will be forgotten in a few days. No one will remember it." Sandra said those words as if they were a matter of fact. Lexi couldn't help but laugh. Sandra's face fell when she saw Lexi laughing. "Lexi Loyle." "Mom, p

The usual spot that Lexi mentioned was an abandoned amusement park. This place used to be bustling with life. There was a time when she and Cade sold children's toys outside the amusement park.

With the help of his walking stick, he walked slowly toward the woman standing where the merry-go-round was.Cade met Lexi at the children's home when he was seven. Lexi was eight at the time. She wore a slightly red dress as she watched a woman leave from the front of the children's home. At that time, he looked at her while he carried his old backpack in his arms.

This road was quiet and had no traffic. Claude drove himself that day. He maneuvered the steering wheel with one hand while he rested his other arm on the side of his car window. He accelerated slowly. He could feel the wind blowing from outside the car onto his face.He looked frigid. For some reason, he felt upset. What could he do? The image of the woman on the carousel horse embracing the elegant man kept replaying in his mind. He stopped his car at the entrance to Dream Club. He tossed his key to the valet and walked straight in. Dream Club wasn't open for business as it was still during the day. Jason had just rushed over from seeing a woman. When he arrived, Claude was sitting with his legs spread and a cigarette between his fingers. He was watching some male entertainers performing on stage.Claude was the only man in front of the stage, which blew Jason's mind. "You came to watch a male revue instead of a female strip show? Are you alright?" Claude turned

It was starting to get late.Claude and Jason drove to the hotel and drank some alcohol.Neither of them drank a lot, but Jason's true self was amplified by the alcohol. He began to talk more.He was trying his best to convince Claude. "You just haven't been with enough women yet. That's why you're already head over heels for the first one you met. You'll know once you get with more women."Claude closed his eyes, trying to tune out Jason's brainwashing.His mind was still full of thoughts of Lexi.He thought about the red butterfly hair tie on her ankle.He recalled how her ankles swung around.He found her ankle extra pretty with his hand wrapped around it.15 minutes later, Jason called ten escorts to their hotel room.Among them was a seductive one, a sweet one, and an innocent one. The escorts ranged from being very slim to extremely curvy.They were all, however, fair and gorgeous."Go ahead and pick one, old man Claude. You can pick more than one if you like," Jaso

"I'm waiting for you downstairs," said Claude."No. I'm busy," replied Lexi"I will hang your piglet underwear at the front gate."Lexi fell silent. Even she had to admit that it was a pretty impressive move."Remember to go out and get it."He hung up after saying that. Lexi hesitated for a moment. Claude really was the kind of person who would do something like that.She was worried that the next morning, people would see a pair of underwear with small piglets on it hanging on her door.She would be utterly humiliated if that happened.She figured that he was probably downstairs and not at the gate.Lexi hesitated. Claude was actually standing in front of Lexi's door.He was like a hunter waiting for his prey to open the door.Claude was there to clarify something. He wanted to know if she was really going to accept that man's marriage proposal.He heard the door open. Lexi opened the door and saw Claude standing in the doorway.The two of them stared at each other i

Lexi had actually deleted Zachary's number a while back.All that showed on her screen was a string of ten numbers.However, she still knew it was Zachary's number by heart.Lexi saw Claude's smile.Based on that smile, he probably also knew it was a call from Zachary."Go ahead and pick up. I won't get jealous."Lexi fell silent.She thought that Claude was really taking himself too seriously.She wasn't worried that he would be jealous. She was worried about the smile on his lips.It was scary.Lexi answered the call and put it on loudspeaker with a nervously beating heart."Lexi."Zachary's voice sounded a bit drowsy."I have a headache," he said.Lexi's stunning face twisted into a dark expression. "Are you insane? Go to the doctor if you have a headache."She hung up.Zachary used to get headaches whenever he met up and drank with clients.When that happened, Lexi would feed him a painkiller and give him a head massage.Claude's gaze landed on Lexi like a sharp

Lexi finally spoke up in a hoarse voice, "Wait. What are you bringing your luggage over here for?"Claude told the person on the other end of the call to hold on while he walked into the living room from the balcony. "A couple should live together, no?"He spoke in an extremely matter-of-fact tone.Lexi looked confused.She wondered who came up with that rule.Claude wasn't planning to go along with what she wanted. They were now a couple, after all.He refused to live separately.His possessiveness was beginning to show.Milo could grasp some of what Claude was saying to Lexi over the phone and was rendered speechless.After the call, Claude went to the kitchen and found a jar of honey. He prepared some honey water for Lexi so she could soothe her throat.He brought the honey water out to the living room, where Lexi was bending down to pick up a pen that had fallen on the floor.Her neck was exposed as she bent down.The hickeys and bite marks on her neck were extremely
