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
Grayson's anger subsided a little after he looked at Belle's face.He furrowed his eyebrows. "Why aren't you replying? Did I make you angry?" he asked.Belle didn't even look at him. After pushing him away, she walked out of the bathroom.Grayson got hold of her. "Are you mute? Just tell me what you're angry about! Why are you ignoring me?"Belle furrowed her eyebrows and shrugged him off her. Then, she strode to the walk-in closet.Grayson was rendered speechless.A few minutes later, she came out of the walk-in closet wearing a sleek sports outfit. After that, she went out the door."Belle!" Grayson called out again.However, she ignored him once again.Without even washing up, Grayson went downstairs with Belle.Noticing that the atmosphere seemed off, Meredith didn't dare to talk. Instead, she placed breakfast on the table without a word.After Belle ate breakfast, she went out after bidding Meredith goodbye. Belle didn't say a single word to Grayson.Grayson sat at the
Belle couldn't tell Ginger what happened. However, Belle didn't want her to worry either. So, Belle merely said, "I got it."Ginger continued carefully, "Besides, you should be more careful lately. Mr. Page and Mr. Quinn are at odds again. Be careful not to be dragged into this mess."Belle asked, "What do you mean? Are they fighting?"Ginger was stunned. "You don't know?""What?""The news headline.""I didn't see.""Don't you look at the news? My phone kept popping notifications because of this."Belle shook her head.Ginger felt curious. "What do you do when you go back home?"Belle was at her rented apartment researching prescriptions yesterday afternoon. When she met up with Robert at night, she bumped into Grayson.After that, Belle fought with him angrily.Belle replied, "I got angry."Ginger paused for a moment before replying, "It's quite common for them to fight. However, it usually won't make the news. Only people in their circle will know about it. Ordinary peo
Belle furrowed her brows. Ignoring him, she decided to continue working.However, Grayson said, "You should go to the clinic!"Belle's frown deepened as she continued to work.Grayson added, "Sam, go and call the doctor over!"At that, she was rendered speechless. She could only put her small sickle down and requested a leave from the lead. Then, she went to the clinic.Grayson followed closely behind her.Page Corporation had an emergency medical team of one doctor and two nurses. Its purpose was to attend to any unexpected incidents that might occur to the employees during work hours.When the doctor and nurses saw Grayson coming over personally, they thought something major had happened. Thus, they quickly started to check Belle's injury.Ultimately, they discovered it was just a small cut on her finger.The male doctor asked, "It's … just a minor injury?"Before Belle could speak, Grayson angrily snapped, "What do you mean by such a minor injury? She's bleeding! Isn't it
After that, Belle did whatever Grayson ordered her to do. She did not make a fuss or yell at him. She seemed rather indifferent and distant whenever she talked to him.After heading home, she ate dinner at night and played with Sixteen for a while. Then, she washed up before sleeping.It was the same when she went to work the next day.Grayson also had a temper. He did not pay her any heed since she did the same.However, he could no longer endure it after a few days. Without being aware of it, he started to try to appease her. He would prepare sweets for Belle during work hours, calling her to eat at his office.Plus, he would even go to the milkshake bar at the boxing gym to buy her favorite milkshake.Since Belle refused to eat dinner with him, he ordered someone to bring her favorite food back home.However, it didn't work.Belle seemed rather indifferent to his advances.Knowing his coaxing didn't work, he could only look for help.On Saturday, he hid in the bathroom and
