Chapter 117: Who did you say you are?
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Jayden probably told my aunt about my hospitalization."
"Is she coming?"
Eranthe shook her head. "I talked her out of it."
Colin stood up. "I'll go to the restroom."
Eranthe wasn't in the mood to watch the movie. Deceiving Urania weighed heavily on her conscience, but she couldn't reveal the real reason for her hospitalization; it would only make Urania worry.
Just as she was thinking, there was a knock on the door. Soon after, Urania, looking pale, walked in.
Seeing Eranthe alone in the large hospital room, her eyes turned red. "Elsa, why is your complexion so bad?"
The nurse behind her apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss Taylor. I couldn't stop her. She rushed straight to the room without even asking."
"It's okay; she's my aunt."
"How are you feeling now?" Urania looked at Eranthe with tearful eyes. "Elsa, how could you keep something like this from me?"
Already going through a tough time, now Eranthe had to deal with

His initial reaction was that it might be a scam call.The Rodriguez’s Group was a giant in the real estate industry with a presence nationwide. They had a significant fortune long before Adrian started his business.This wasn't a circle Adrian could normally access."This is the Rodriguez’s Group. If you're available, you can come to our company. I heard you have a batch of building materials."Adrian ran his hand through his hair. "Are you serious?""Of course."Adrian didn't think twice, grabbing his car keys and heading straight to the Rodriguez’s Group. Morris personally welcomed him.It was only when he entered the CEO's office that Adrian realized this was real.When the contract was placed in front of him, Adrian couldn't believe it. "Can I ask how the Rodriguez’s knew about my company's situation?"Morris raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Of course, it's because Mr. Rodriguez has a personal

After hanging up, she noticed that the prawns Colin had peeled for her were all gone; he had eaten them himself.Eranthe: ...Then, she tried to pick some herself.Colin quickly snatched it away from her fork.Eranthe went for the corn spare rib soup.In the next moment, Colin took the bowl away.Eranthe dropped her knife and fork. "What do you mean?""Didn't you just establish that we two aren't familiar with each other?"Eranthe's expression turned cold. "Then how should I have answered?""Truthfully.""I'd rather not say anything!" If she wasn't eating, she might as well stick to her diet.Thinking this, Eranthe stood up abruptly, intending to go upstairs to get her luggage and head home. She didn't want to endure this humiliation any longer.Colin quickly pulled her back. "You're so temperamental. Can't I say a few words without making you angry?"Ignoring him and without his strength, she

"Even without today's incident, this ring should have been given to you many years ago."The style of the ring was from several years ago. Adrian had taken it out years ago. Scarlett had attempted suicide by cutting her wrists, and that's why the ring had not been put on her finger for a long time.This time, facing a similar situation where one abandoned him and the other stayed and even helped him, Adrian felt that if he betrayed Urania again for Scarlett, he would truly be sorry to her.Shaken by the situation, Scarlett rushed out of the neighborhood and ran towards the road without even looking.Jayden grabbed her, "Are you looking for trouble? It's a red light now, be careful. If you want to die, go far away."Even dying at the entrance of the neighborhood doesn't seem to worry about bad luck."Let go of me! Let go!" Scarlett yelled and struggled.Jayden actually released her, saying, "You're crazy, aren't you?""I am look

The cat's belly, round from eating, rolled as Colin used his fingers to push the cat away, only for it to pounce back."Elsa's mommy," Colin murmured softly.Eranthe felt a moment of confusion. "Did you just call me?""Mm."Even though they didn't quite fit the traditional mold of a couple, they inadvertently became parents to a cat.Eranthe didn't want to ask if he liked her, but he certainly didn't dislike her. However, most of the time, Colin was an enigma to her.In the evening, he had a video conference, and Eranthe also wanted to attend to her work.After returning from the garden, they each went about their tasks. Colin had his meeting in the study, and Eranthe sat cross-legged on a small table, working on the documents she needed to submit the next day.Ana's due date was approaching, and the tasks assigned to Eranthe were increasing. She was now responsible for organizing the content of the morning meetings.Mor
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 122: Did Eranthe go back with you?
But why, on his territory, was she so restless?At that moment, an arm reached out, pulling her into an embrace. Leaning against his warm chest, Eranthe involuntarily curled her fingers."Why are you so far away?" His voice echoed in her ears.Eranthe suddenly asked, "Colin.""Hmm?""Do you, like me?"She had never asked such a question, but she couldn't hold back anymore. If he didn't like her, why would he do so much?"Hmm."For a moment, she thought she might have misheard. She turned her head abruptly, staring at him.The air seemed to stagnate, and she listened to her own heartbeat. Then she asked, "Do you love me?"This time, he didn't answer, and his gaze remained as clear as before.Eranthe's heart suddenly felt cold.Perhaps his liking was just a lack of dislike, a hormonal attraction between a man and a woman, but far from evolving into love.They could do anything intimate between a
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 123: Are you angry because I left suddenly?
He didn't expect to see Colin here.Colin was stunned, frowned, and asked, "Why do you ask like that?""I saw her pulling a suitcase alone in our area at night. It probably takes an hour to reach the entrance on foot."After saying this, he asked the waitress next to him to light a cigarette.However, Colin directly asked, "When was that?""Just now. I drove over, and it took about half an hour. She should be close to the entrance by now."Colin didn't believe it and immediately called. The result was that Eranthe hung up the phone.Frank looked at it with a smile and mocked, "Well, you're just like me now."Colin wasn't in the mood to banter with Frank at the moment; he was puzzled about what that woman was up to."Colin, what's going on? Did you two have a fight?" Harold added fuel to the fire.With a cold face, Colin questioned, "You saw her alone, so you let her continue walking? Didn't you think of bringing h

"I want to go home, and I'm already standing downstairs at my own home. I have nothing more to say to Mr. Rodriguez. You can think whatever you want. I not only have a bad temper, but I am also sentimental. It's all so obvious. you'd better find someone more obedient to continue playing with you."After saying this, Eranthe tried to move forward with her suitcase, but in the next moment, she was grabbed by the man."Make it clear. What did I do wrong? Just now, Harold and the others called me. I was on my way back a little while. I didn't leave you alone there.""It doesn't matter how you see it. The final result won't change. I don't want to continue playing with you. Is that not acceptable?"Colin pulled her into his arms. "Play? Do you think I've been playing with you all this time? Just because I didn't answer your question tonight, Eranthe, be honest. Did you fall in love with me and couldn't stand even a bit of neglect? Haven't I treated you well en

She wondered how they would react if they knew about her separation from him.She had considered clarifying it, but since no one brought it up, she felt it might seem forced if she mentioned it without reason."I saw Frank and Colin earlier. Let's go up and say hello," someone suggested after returning from the restroom.William suggested, "Why don't we all go up together?"Having said that, William turned to Eranthe.Eranthe's hands tightened momentarily. Whether it was intentional or not, William's words seemed directed at her.She didn't want to face Colin directly and waved him off. "Mr. Hernandez, you all go ahead. We'll stay here.""Don't be like that. Since we're all here, and we know each other, what's the harm?"Everyone present was quite perceptive, observing Eranthe's unwillingness to go upstairs. They sensed that she was trying to maintain a distance.However, since the person involved wished to stay clear, t

Eranthe replied, "If I had no conscience, I wouldn't give you medicine to take."Colin turned his head in frustration.Morris arrived promptly upon hearing that Colin was ill, and Eranthe happened to be handing over her shift to him."Follow the instructions on the medicine label for him. I've prepared hot water. Just remember to close the door when you leave," Eranthe said, aware that she had only half an hour for her commute and couldn't linger.Morris nodded repeatedly but then noticed the deathly stare from his boss."Miss Taylor.""Yes?""Today, I also need to take a day off with Mr. Rodriguez. Could you please take care of him?""Today's schedule is packed for me. I can't look after him," Eranthe replied, well aware of Morris's tactics. His loyalty was clearly with Colin.Morris was quick on his feet. "Miss Taylor, my mom is coming to Assyria City today. I was planning to take the afternoon off anyway. Mr. Rodrigue

Colin raised an eyebrow in disappointment, then spread out the sheets and lay down with the cat.But clearly, he couldn't sleep. The scent of the woman still lingered in the air, constantly tempting him and making him feel uncomfortably hot.He decided to take off his shirt, his long legs hanging off the sofa because it was too small for him to stretch out fully.Every time he closed his eyes, he pictured her exceptionally enchanting appearance.Inside the house, Eranthe tossed and turned, feeling like her territory had been invaded. She regretted not ignoring him.Why was this so troublesome? If only she had ignored him, she would have fallen asleep by now.After lying in bed for half an hour without feeling drowsy, she scratched her head, feeling the need to use the bathroom. But the bathroom was outside the room...What if that dog suddenly pounced on her?If he dared, she would punch him.Eranthe silently vowed, lift

Eranthe: ...She really wanted to smash this guy with the water bottle."Go home!"If she kept listening to him, she might start feeling a little soft-hearted.Colin smiled subtly and followed her casually, like a large dog.On the way home, Eranthe repeated multiple times not to take advantage of any opportunity to enter her home.Colin agreed readily, and when it came time to open the door, she insisted on watching him enter before she unlocked it, like she was guarding against a thief.Colin asked, "Are you really sure you don't need me to escort you home?""Mr. Rodriguez, I'm already home.""What if someone unwelcome shows up at your place?"Eranthe laughed, "Then I'll call the police. It's scarier letting you in. Maybe you should worry more about whether there's a headless ghost under your bed at night, or someone staring at you from outside your window."After saying this, Eranthe watched with satisfa

"..." Eranthe concluded that communicating with him was indeed asking for trouble.Eranthe opened the door to leave, and Colin followed.Eranthe cursed inwardly. She had let her guard down. It seemed Colin had taken advantage of the moment to change his clothes, and now he was accompanying her to eat."Mr. Rodriguez, someone of your stature shouldn't be playing the role of a tracker," Eranthe remarked."No, of course not," Colin assured her."Let's hope you stick to that," Eranthe responded skeptically."Agreed."The two entered the elevator. "Where are you headed, Mr. Rodriguez?""Depends on my mood.""..." What a watertight answer! Depending on his mood meant wherever she was going, he would follow!The elevator quickly arrived, and as luck would have it, they encountered the elderly lady downstairs again."Oh dear, finished your meal, young couple? Going out for a stroll?"Eranthe smiled awkwardly

Wasn't he just trying to make her insist he stay?"Forget it, sit down and eat. It's like I'm bullying you," she muttered.Colin moved closer. "Miss Taylor, are you inviting me?"He glanced at his watch. "During my working hours, I'm not allowed to eat with clients, but if a client requests it, I can provide additional services.""What additional services? Dishwashing?""A deep kiss.""Eh?" Eranthe gave him a deadpan smile. "You're fired.""My employer isn't Miss Taylor, so you don't have the authority for that, but you can complain.""And the solution to complaints—is it also a kiss?"Colin remained serious, adopting an austere expression. "Miss Taylor, I'm here for part-time work, not to sell myself."Eranthe couldn't stomach her meal after that.“Colin, are you even serious? Should I start a fundraiser to buy you a mirror?” Eranthe retorted, still seething.This guy had the audac

Then, as if in disbelief, the doorbell rang."I'm sorry, Miss Taylor, it seems the nutritionist has arrived. We've already paid, so it would be awkward to send him away."Eranthe: ...Why did you even schedule this?!It's just stirring up trouble for no reason!She didn't want to take it out on innocent people, so she hung up the phone and went to open the door, expecting to see a lady but finding a tall man at the door instead.Eranthe burst out laughing, "Mr. Rodriguez.""When did you start moonlighting as a nutritionist?" Eranthe crossed her arms, eager to hear what else he could come up with.Colin raised an eyebrow, "Just bored after work, making some extra cash."He gestured to come inside, leaving Eranthe speechless. She was also worried about leaving the door open and the cat suddenly darting out.Once Colin successfully entered, it was just like before—efficiently grabbing onions, ginger, and garlic

Most likely, Colin was just there as a witness the whole time.Eranthe adjusted her position, leaning closer to the car window, and closed her eyes again.When she woke up once more, it was to the sound of honking outside the window.She suddenly looked as night fell, turning her head abruptly to meet the man's dark gaze.She jumped slightly, and Colin said casually, "Awake?"Eranthe checked the time and realized it was already 7:40. She must have slept quite a while in the car. "Why didn't you wake me?" she asked.She opened the car door. "Thank you for driving me back."As she picked up her bag to head home, she noticed Colin was also getting out of the car.Eranthe halted her steps. "Are you planning to come to my house?"Colin admitted nonchalantly, "Yes."Eranthe was incredulous. "Mr. Rodriguez, don't play dumb. Wasn't I clear enough?"Colin replied, "Shouldn't a pursuer safely escort you to the doorst

Alexis wasn't under Mr. Hill Vice President Hill's jurisdiction, so he didn't react much either.After the meeting dispersed, Eranthe clearly noticed several leaders looking displeased.Just as Mr. Hill Vice President Hill was giving Eranthe instructions about which projects to prioritize next, Eranthe was taking notes with her pen when she saw the hotel manager rushing over to a group of leaders."What's going on?" Eranthe watched as the leaders headed towards the coffee shop, and shortly after, police cars arrived.It seemed they were trying to contain the situation and were ordered to return to the city promptly.Eranthe had already checked out and didn't want to get involved in others' affairs. She hoped to catch a ride with Mr. Hill Vice President Hill, but then she saw him being called away as well."Forget about it, let's all go back," Eranthe muttered to herself as she turned around, but then Colin's phone call came through.S
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 252: You want to sleep with my woman?
"Okay, if you really end up with Eranthe, I'll learn from you.""Does Oriel really want to be with you? Just flattering yourself," Colin, in a bad mood, retorted sharply.Frank sighed, "Ah, men without a sex life are truly terrifying."Colin ignored him.From behind the water feature, voices could be heard.Although not loud, with few guests around, the conversation was clear."That woman is really pretty, almost like those female celebrities on TV.""Were you trained with her before? Do you know what she's like? Is she easy to get? With looks like hers, she must have plenty of suitors.""I heard she has some connection with that Miller family whose son, Eric Miller, dated her for a few months. They've probably split up now, and there are quite a few guys chasing her in the company.""I think with a woman like her, you could win her over with a bit of money. Just a few dates and you could sleep with her.""Alexis,
