“Back to the hotel, of course.”Jeanette blindly followed his lead. Damon didn’t walk very fast, as if he were deliberately waiting for her.After walking for a long distance, Jeanette finally realized that Damon was still wearing his hotel slippers.‘Could it be? Did he run out of the hotel, forgetting to change his slippers as soon as he received the call from the police station? Impossible. Why would he be that worried for me…’She had just mulled over her thoughts when Damon hailed a cab
Damon suddenly pinned her down, bent down, and captured her lips.The water from the showerhead gradually filled more than half the bathtub. Jeanette couldn’t get away, and her entire body was submerged in the water. The water was slightly hot, and his eyes seemed to be steaming with heat.“Damon… Don’t be rash.”Jeanette was flustered as Damon scanned her from top to top.His gaze gradually shifted downwards. Her flimsy shirt, now drenched with water, clung onto her skin, highlighting the outline of her slim silhouette.“You… You… Let go of me!”He sniggered. “It’s not like it’s your first time. Why feign innocence?”Damon’s gentle treatment only lasted a few short seconds. He ignored Jeanette’s protests and immediately took off her clothes.He had been faced with this scene many times, but he seemed to lose control every time.Jeanette struggled with all her might, nearly digging her nails into his back, but it was useless.Finally, at the final juncture, she gasped. “Damon
Jeanetter tried her best to put Olivia at the back of her mind. Now that she was here, she might as well stay. She should enjoy a good stroll with her mother, then deal with everything else.Both mother and daughter walked the streets until noon. Naturally, they needed lunch now.Jeanette had initially intended on choosing a simple meal at the shopping mall, but Jenny insisted on dragging her to a famous Italian restaurant.“Mom, this place is too expensive. If you really want Italian food, l
Jeanette dashed forward. She was about to block her mother using her body but ended up getting pushed into the door!The door to the private room was unlatched, so she fell into the room instantly.Aside from Damon and Olivia, there were two unfamiliar middle-aged men dressed in suits in the room too.The group of four turned their eyes toward the uninvited guest who had suddenly fallen through the door.Damon looked clearly annoyed. “What are you doing?”“I… I…”Jeanette immediately under
Jeanette didn’t accept Olivia’s tissue paper. Instead, she pulled a packet of wet wipes out of her own bag.“Damon and I are in the middle of a business discussion. It was rather rude of you to crash in so recklessly, in front of our clients, Miss Leighton. If the clients found out about your relationship with Damon, it would undoubtedly look bad on him. So he had to feign ignorance over your relationship for now. Please don’t overthink it, Miss Leighton.”Jeanette icily replied, “I don’t thin
Suddenly, Damon stood up. He reached out his hand and took her luggage bag, then headed upstairs.She was left to follow him from behind.“Since you’re back and you haven’t gone to the office, why didn’t you wait for me? We could’ve come home together.”Of course, she already knew the answer. Obviously, he wanted time alone with Olivia and didn’t want her disturbing them.Jeanette couldn’t help asking because her mother had been nagging for an hour on the plane. It was infuriating.However,
Damon turned around and gave her a weird look. Then he answered, “She’s an ambassador for a product from one of our subsidiary companies.”“I guess it makes sense. Miss Norton is Elias’ girlfriend. She seems to have a willful personality. I suppose she wouldn’t lower herself and have an affair with a married man like you.”Jeanette realized that she had accidentally blurted out the truth as soon as she said that and quickly put her hand over her mouth.However, Damon didn’t seem angry at all. Instead, he quietly replied, “You’re very bold lately, Jeanette.”She secretly stuck out her tongue and did not dare say another word.…Two days later, they received a call from the old Godfrey Mansion inviting Damon and Jeanette for a family dinner.The Godfrey family dinner only ever happened once a month. This time, they summoned them over before the end of the month because Xavier had returned.Xavier Madden Godfrey, Damon’s younger brother, was five years younger than him and had bee
The butler looked troubled. “Well… You should ask the young master yourself.”“I wouldn’t be asking you if he would tell me.”The butler was forced to a corner and had no choice, so he began. “In order to understand the situation, we’ll have to start from back when the young master was eight years old—”He had just begun his story when the sound of a car was heard from the courtyard outside.The butler let out a cry, as if he were a thief, and shut his mouth. He did not dare say another word
