Lorena POVOn the other side of the living room.Since Seth explained the situation to everyone and apologized to King, I have been patiently waiting. I watched as Seth's expression went from guilty to ignoring me deliberately, and I knew that if I didn't speak up, I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.But after waiting for a long time, all I heard was Ruby saying, "Mom and Dad, sorry for disturbing you today. I'll go upstairs first and put away this necklace. Oh, Mom, Nola brought a beautifully designed watch for you today.""Really? Let me see." Luna also intentionally brushed off the matter and continued."It's upstairs, let me take you there." Ruby linked arms with Luna and walked upstairs.I looked on coldly and said, "Even a three-year-old knows to apologize when they misunderstand someone for doing something wrong, but I didn't expect that adults wouldn't know."Ruby's face changed.Luna lowered her voice and said, "Today has been embarrassing enough. Although Ruby misunderstood
Lorena POVAfter having dinner, I went upstairs to take a shower. As I was carrying my clothes to the bathroom, Seth walked in and frowned, "I don't like other people using my bathroom."Thank you for not directly expressing your disgust towards me.I puffed my cheeks and angrily glared at the man behind me."I have a germaphobia," Seth added."Fine."I nodded, realizing that I also have a germaphobia now. Who cares about using it anyway?But with his personality, even if he rejects me in the future, no woman would be able to tolerate him."I didn't want to argue with him, so I took my clothes and went to shower in the shared bathroom on the second floor. When I came back, Seth had finished showering too.The man in front of me was wearing a navy blue pajama, sitting at the desk working. His skin was pale, and the collar of his pajama was casually open, revealing his delicate collarbone and alluring neck. Even though I despised him, I had to admit that this man had the most noble temp
Seth POVThe next day.I woke up feeling frozen.I groggily opened my eyes, feeling very uncomfortable all over. Headache, stomachache, and limbs as cold as ice.That's when I realized I was curled up on the floor, only covered by a thin blanket, wearing nothing but underwear. Didn't I go out drinking with Shawn and the others last night? Who the hell left him sleeping here?I quickly sat up, confirming that this was my room, and then looked down to see Lorena sleeping peacefully next to me, wrapped in my blanket. My brain momentarily short-circuited.My anger came to a sudden halt.On the sky blue bedsheets, Lorena's cheeks were rosy as she slept, a few buttons on her white nightgown had come undone, revealing a large expanse of snow-like skin and a seductive collarbone. Last night, when she got wet from the water splash, it was clear that she was wearing something underneath. Now, it's certain that she's wearing nothing inside.Moving down further, the fabric of her nightgown was ro
Lorena POVThis breakfast doesn't make me feel satisfied no matter how I think about it. Seth's attitude clearly shows that he doesn't want me to interact with him and his family. Could he be afraid that my interaction with them will affect his family's social status? After the meal, I went back upstairs and couldn't help but call Shana."Shana, are you free today?""I'm free, I don't have classes today. What's up? Why are you calling all of a sudden?""I'm feeling annoyed. If you're free, let's go out for a meal. It's been a long time since I last saw you."There was a few seconds of silence on the other end, then Shana spoke up: "Alright, I'll greet Ronald and come pick you up."I find Shana's obedient manner quite interesting and couldn't help but tease her, "I didn't expect Ronald to be quite capable. He actually managed to make you completely devoted to him.""What nonsense are you talking about? If you keep talking nonsense, you can walk from Rodriguez's suburban villa to the ci
Seth POVI had an empty seat next to me, and Shawn walked over and was about to sit down when Wesley pushed him, saying, "Sit over here with me."Shawn seemed to be momentarily stunned, and it wasn't until Wesley said, "Lorena, why don't you sit next to Seth?" that he reacted."No need," Lorena glanced at me and shook her head, "I won't disturb him and Miss Barlow."With that sentence, everyone in the room turned to look at me. It was obvious that Lorena's words were directed at me, which made me quite angry. "Lorena, what are you implying?"Nola and I were sitting peacefully, minding our own business, and Lorena suddenly said something like that, clearly with ulterior motives.Lorena put on an innocent look, "No, really, I just think you two are a good match. I don't want to intrude.""You're being sarcastic, aren't you?" I raised my chin slightly, my tone icy."Wrongfully accused," Lorena raised her hand, "I swear to God, I'm speaking from the heart. We have no emotional foundation,
Lorena POVI sat in the passenger seat of the Mercedes, absentmindedly gripping the seat belt strap. I watched as Shana stood outside the car and exchanged a few words with Erik, their expressions filled with subtle emotions. After bidding farewell, Shana returned to the car."What's wrong?" I casually asked, thinking that since they were now a family, there shouldn't be any major issues."It's nothing. I've met him a few times before, we just had a casual chat," Shana replied as she started the car and looked at the road, preparing to drive away. "But what about you? What happened during the meal today?""What do you mean?" I asked."Are you asking me? Did something happen between you and Seth? Both of you seemed distracted, and there was this tense atmosphere in the air.""Really? I don't think I said anything, and besides, it's good that he's getting back together with his ex, isn't it?" I said, looking out the window, feeling a mix of emotions."I understand that the dynamics of a
Seth POVAs I looked at the girl in front of me, she stared straight at me with a gaze filled with determination and frustration. There was a hint of blood at the corner of her mouth, and I realized that I had gone too far in my anger, and it was too late to take it back now.She took a deep breath and quickly calmed her emotions, then looked at me seriously and said, "Seth Rodriguez, I didn't do anything to hurt Luna. You can choose not to believe me, but I hope you have evidence of me actually doing such things before accusing me."I was speechless for a moment, and could only watch her leave decisively. Ruby seemed to be persistent, saying, "We will eventually catch her and bring her to justice." I looked deeply at Ruby, feeling somewhat surprised by her harshness.For the rest of the night, I stayed at the hospital until the next morning when my mother slowly woke up."Mom, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" Ruby happened to arrive at the hospital and helped her up att
Lorena POV"Seth, if you have something to discuss with me, just come to me. Don't involve my family," My voice is so hoarse that it didn't sounded like mine,but I didn't want to step back.Seth paused for a second, he stared at me, "I didn't intend to involve you all. My mom woke up this morning and told us that we wrongly accused you of what happened last night.""Thank you for your kindness, but I cannot and will not accept it." I heard Seth say that he brought something to my house, but politely refused, "Please don't disturb my family anymore. I don't want to come back to your house. Let's maintain our current level of contact. If you ever want to reject me, just contact me.""Lorena, what are you saying? I have already apologized," Seth's tone was low and helpless, "Or tell me what you want me to do. Just say it, and I'll do as you say.""No need, your family has their own affairs to take care of, I don't need you to do anything for me. Besides, I did make a mistake in this matt
