Lorraine could no longer keep smiling. She was done pretending that she was okay with all these. She could tell that Wendy did not like her as she did not even urge her to stay. She knew that from the very beginning.
Looking in his intimidating and imposing self, Levi strode downstairs and walked up to Selina. He sat down beside her and sweetly put his hands around her waist. He whispered in her ear, trying to seduce her, "I have to go to the army right now. Wait for me tonight and we'll do something real good..."
With her face turning red because of dismay, Selina lowered her head and pinched his arms. She exclaimed loudly, "Then leave! Go right now!"
"Don't be so mean! I don't want to go there as well. I really want to be with you all day. But I'm just a little busy now. I have to go." His mouth slightly twitched as he felt a bit of pain when Selina pinched him.
Wendy grinned at their interaction and told her son, "Just leave. I'm too old to watch the both of you being so sweet to each other."
Levi let go of Selina after he kissed her on the cheeks. He stood up from the sofa and saluted to his wife before walking out the door. "Your Majesty, I'll leave then!"
... Selina did not expect that he would say such words in front of Wendy. She was totally ashamed as she was not used to this kind of romantic gesture. Her face flushed as she deliberately glared at him, "Don't call me that! Just leave! You're so naughty!"
But Levi still found her so cute when she pouted. He wanted to hug and kiss her again.
Selina knew that Levi was harboring dirty thoughts yet again. She was worried that he would do something out of the line. Then she determinedly pointed to Lorraine near them and said, "Lorraine had been waiting for some time here! Look at her!"
Levi's good mood was all swept away at the mention of Lorraine. Immediately, he felt so frustrated. He didn't want anything to do with that woman.
He caressed Selina's hair and finally gave up, "I should leave now!"
The manor became awkwardly quiet soon after he left.
When Wendy went out of the kitchen, she saw Selina sitting squarely on the sofa, seemingly immersed in deep thoughts, face flushed crimson.
Wendy suddenly had the urge to tease her. She cleared her throat and deliberately asked, "Selina, why has your face turned red? How are you feeling now?"
"Um... Um..." Selina did not know what to say now. She was still not used to telling her mother-in-law about her sensitive feelings. Actually, Levi's recent actions and gestures reminded her of how he treated her in bed. But that would be too embarrassing. That would mean that she was an easy woman. "It's nothing, really. I'm all right. Aunt... Mom, why not come with me to the kitchen to check on the ingredients and the reci
“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”
Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.
Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.
“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.
robably get drunk, Hugh didn't refuse when the manager asked if he need someone to pick them up after the party. He and Sophia chose the Bentley that the manager offered to them.
Then they made their way to the party and pushed open the door. In an instant, Sophia was amazed by the look of extravagance inside.
A dozen of young boys and girls, including several party girls, were enjoying the time of their lives. They were dancing wildly and talking to each other with flirtatious tones.
Noticing that Hugh has arrived, some of them put down their glasses and shouted, "Look who's here!"
"Mr. Hugh, we're glad you came. Did you just come back from your trip?
"Come on, take a seat! Feel at home! Um. Who's the girl behind him? Is that the woman named Sophia?"
...
As everybody were all talking and gossiping about the couple, Sophia looked around with her signature lovely smile. Soon after, she finally saw the man she was here for. She could see the sour expression on Dorothy's face and wondered why she was not happy to be here. To Sophia's surprise, there was a beautiful girl sitting next to Colin. The girl was pouring drinks for him.
In an instant, the smile on Sophia's face was gone. She immediately felt uncomfortable with what she was seeing.
The first thing Herring did when he noticed Sophia was that he took a quick glance on Colin. He spotted a faint trace of guilt in Colin's eyes. He knew right there and then that Colin still has feelings for Sophia. Colin still looked indifferent despite knowing that Dorothy felt uneasy on having a party girl near her future husband.
But the moment Sophia stepped in, Colin discreetly drew back his hands from the girl's shoulder.
Sneering, Herring stood up and exclaimed loudly, "Finally, here are Sophia and Hugh! Come, the late ones should drink a whole bottle of beer!"
