Meanwhile, Lena noticed the shift in Grayson's emotions. She frowned and turned in his direction, then spotted Belle instantly.Even though she could only see her back, Lena still panicked. Instantly, her usually calm heart was filled with agitation. Though she couldn't see her face, Lena still felt uncomfortable in her presence. It was as if she and that woman were fated to be enemies. Lena wouldn't hesitate to kill her if they were the only ones left on earth. Not only did the other woman make her uncomfortable, but she also made Lena panic. She felt threatened by her. It was an unsettling feeling.Lena wanted to see Belle's face clearly, but she feared Robert. After thinking for a while, she suppressed her impulse and looked at Grayson. Even though she wanted to ask Grayson whether he recognized the other woman, Lena felt that the timing wasn't appropriate. So, after some thought, she said, "Mr. Page, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving. When I finish t
Robert scowled and quickly stowed the prescription away, afraid of revealing Belle's medicinal skills. Grayson noticed Robert's actions. He immediately thought that it was a love letter. He grew angrier after thinking that Robert had received a love letter from Belle. He clenched his fists and furrowed his brow, lips pursed in fury. His steps quickened. He appeared very displeased, as if he had caught his wife cheating on him. It slipped his mind that his relationship with Belle was purely a contract marriage, and she was free to meet whomever she pleased.Belle appeared to sense something was amiss and turned around quickly. There, she spotted the enraged Grayson. Belle was shocked. As her husband approached her, she asked, "Why are you here?""Am I not supposed to be here?" Grayson gritted his teeth. Seeing Grayson's angry and unhappy expression, Belle surmised that he was upset because she had shared a meal with Robert.However, Belle hadn't promised Grayson that she
The café was thrown into chaos. All the customers rushed to a corner to watch the brawl. Since someone recognized Scott, they didn't dare to call the police. Meanwhile, Sam was anxious. When he saw Belle, he ran toward her. "You're here too, Ms. Walters. That's great. Please separate them and stop them from hurting each other."It appeared that only Belle could break the fight. After all, she had done so before. Belle was also concerned. She cried out several times, but it proved futile. As such, she dashed toward them, grabbed their wrists, and forcibly pulled them apart.Belle looked at Scott and Grayson. "Don't you find yourselves embarrassing? You're 'performing' in front of everyone like monkeys!"Simultaneously, both men wore unhappy expressions. Scott didn't reply to Belle. Instead, he glared at Grayson. "If you're truly capable, go ahead and seize all my money rather than coming up with this useless scheme!""I'm rich, so I don't care about this. If you can't
Meanwhile, Grayson and Belle drove home in silence, pointedly ignoring each other. When they arrived at their house, the argument resumed. Grayson was convinced that Belle had been on a date with Robert that evening. Belle scolded Grayson, saying, "You're crazy. What right do you have to care about me?"Failing to provide a valid reason, Grayson resorted to insisting that Belle must never see Robert again.Belle, incensed by his attitude, ran to their room and retrieved their marriage contract. She flung it at him. "Read it for yourself. It's clearly stated that we can't interfere in each other's private lives! I've told you a hundred times that there's nothing between Robert and me. Even if there were, why should it matter to you?" Grayson glanced at the marriage contract and felt an urge to rip it to shreds. Recognizing he was in a disadvantageous position, he maintained silence for an extended period. Eventually, he fiercely exclaimed, "Do you think I'm upset about yo
Grayson continued to smoke until all the cigarettes on the table were gone. He then grabbed his car keys and left. Once outside, he called Tristan. "Where are you?""Oh, have you thought about me now? I'm in my shop. Are you coming?""Yes."What happened? Did your wife infuriate you?"Grayson frowned. "I'll be there in half an hour."With that, he hung up. When Grayson arrived at Liquor Den, Tristan had already arranged a room for him. Knowing that Grayson was in a bad mood, he didn't call anyone else. As such, only Tristan and his girlfriend were in the room. Upon seeing Grayson, the woman greeted, "Hello, Mr. Page."However, Grayson paid her no attention. He promptly seated himself on the sofa and silently smoked. Tristan's girlfriends changed as frequently as his outfits. They were different every week. As such, Grayson found it too bothersome to get to know them. The woman felt a bit disheartened and glanced unhappily at Tristan. In response, Tristan pinched h
Tristan asked again, "What? Hasn't Belle ever thought of sleeping with you before?"Grayson remained silent. Meanwhile, Tristan pursed his lips and remarked, "I don't believe it's because she lacks physical desires. I think she simply lacks physical desires for you."Grayson glared at Tristan angrily. Tristan merely shrugged. "I'm only speaking the truth."Grayson remained silent, continuing to smoke, and the room fell into another period of silence. Tristan, however, spoke up again, saying, "Your situation can be handled quite easily. You can pursue a purely physical relationship if you are attracted to her without mutual feelings. "Discuss your desires openly, inquire about hers, and focus on fulfilling each other's needs. It's akin to my arrangement with my group of girlfriends. As long as you both agree, everything can proceed smoothly."Grayson glanced at Tristan but remained wordless. After a period of silence, he began to consume alcohol. His thoughts were in disarra
Suddenly, Belle thought of something. Her lips moved as she asked, "Grayson, do you like me?"She also noticed that Grayson's behavior toward Robert was very unusual. Grayson only furrowed his eyebrows and did not reply.Upon seeing that, Belle asked again, "Do you like Robert?"Grayson immediately answered, "I don't like him!"Belle paused for a moment before saying, "Do you know which Robert I'm referring to?""Do you think I lost my memories?" Grayson shot the question back at her.Belle pursed her lips. Although Grayson was talking normally, she was pretty sure he was drunk.Belle questioned again, "If you don't like Robert, does it mean you like me?"Grayson's lips moved. In the end, he sneered and averted his gaze. "I don't want to talk to you!"Belle was rendered speechless.She reckoned he must dislike her if he didn't even want to speak to her.However, Belle wondered why Grayson was so against her meeting with Robert.Belle asked, "Why do you hate Robert mee
Just when Belle was about to make a move, Grayson went limp and fainted on her."Get off me!" Belle pushed him onto the ground.Grayson grunted in pain. However, he returned to sleep after furrowing his brows and tugging his tie.Belle's chest heaved heavily as she glared at him from the side. She was furious, her expression extremely gloomy.Belle disliked Grayson, constantly arguing and rolling her eyes at him. However, she was never as angry at him as she was now.He had gone way too far!Belle couldn't believe he offered her money to sleep with him.She wondered what he thought of her.She bit her lips and went upstairs. She was so angry that she didn't even want to fight anymore.The next morning, Grayson was awakened by Meredith, who came to make breakfast.Meredith was shocked when she saw Grayson lying on the floor, fully dressed.Fearing something might have happened, she quickly woke him up.Grayson felt dizzy and disoriented. "What happened?" He sat up and
