Evadne still pondered whether Gavin was serious about sleeping in her apartment, as he mentioned earlier.While washing a few dishes at the sink, she found herself momentarily lost in thought about the heated encounter in that very kitchen. Did Gavin not choose specific places, or was it just because they were the only ones in her apartment that it didn’t matter?She swallowed, feeling her body’s reaction to the thoughts racing through her mind. She was becoming sensuous, and she was sure she’d plummeted another ten points from heaven.When Gavin’s arms wrapped around her from behind, she flinched.“I-I’m washing dishes,” she stammered, almost holding her breath. They had finished eating, both satisfied.“I’m just wondering. You’re washing so few dishes, yet it seems like you’ll take forever,” he remarked.“I’ll be done here. Please let go, Gavin,” she said, struggling to breathe properly.“Why?” he teased, tightening his embrace. He even kissed her neck, nibbling her lips.Was Gavin
“I know you probably won’t believe me,” Gavin continued. “It’s up to you whether you’ll believe me or not.”Evadne met his gaze. “Isn’t it a bit too fast, Gavin?”“I think things happen quickly for us,” he said, causing Evadne’s cheeks to flush again.He had a point. She bit her lower lip. At twenty-eight, she felt like a freshly ripened tomato. Evadne closed her eyes briefly before opening them again.Taking a deep breath, she turned back to Gavin. “Can you stand by those words?”“Which ones? That we’re in a relationship?”She nodded. “Sorry. But, Gavin, I don’t think you can take the word ‘relationship’ seriously.”“Don’t judge me easily, Evadne.”“How do I know you’re not seeing other women besides me?”“Do you think I would invite you into a relationship if I wasn’t sure? And do you think I would cheat while in a relationship with you? I don’t want you to feel what you felt with your fake husband again. I’m not as much of a jerk as he was,” he said, shifting his gaze to the TV.Ev
Evadne couldn’t suppress the small smile on her lips. It seems like she’s going crazy because even her heart is delighted with the new challenge in her love life. Her fervent wish is that things will work out this time and not repeat the mistakes of the past. Hopefully, Gavin Wright won’t easily be swayed by other women.She spread two layers of comforters on the floor beside her bed. That’s where she plans to let Gavin sleep if he finds her bed uncomfortable. She also placed two pillows there, and there’s a blanket in case it gets cold.Fortunately, she bought some spare items when she went shopping for her apartment.When Evadne heard Gavin clearing his throat, she turned to him. Gavin was leaning against the doorframe. He had just showered, and now he was wearing only boxer shorts.Her cheeks warmed as she tried to avert her gaze.His well-sculpted body, like that of a famous sculptor’s masterpiece, was exposed for her to see. His hotness made her knees even weaker. Evadne took a d
In the morning, Evadne intentionally woke up early to prepare breakfast for Gavin. She turned the cold rice from last night into fried rice. For the viand, she fried eggs, sausages, and bacon.She also brewed Gavin’s favorite coffee. After setting the table, a satisfied smile graced her lips. She was happy that she wouldn’t be eating alone at that table for a while.After washing her hands, she decided to go to Gavin’s room. Just as she opened the door, Gavin also woke up, rubbing his eyes as he got up.“Good morning,” she greeted him.“Good morning, sweetie. Have you been up for long?” Gavin asked.Sweetie... that endearment sounded so sweet to her ears.She approached him. “Hmm. I’ve also prepared breakfast. Shall we?” she said, extending her hand.Gavin took her hand, but instead of helping himself stand, he pulled her towards him, causing her to fall onto his lap. She gasped when she felt his hardness against her backside. Evadne secretly swallowed. Gavin embraced her.“Shall we h
“Isaac, it’s not your fault,” Evadne replied to her friend, who was very apologetic at that moment. They met at a restaurant that day. Later that night, he would be flying to the US. However, he couldn’t leave the country until he talked to her about the humiliation he had caused her at his own party. “Besides, it’s true that Orion and I have already separated.”“But the real reason for your separation, contrary to what Camila said.”It was confirmed that the rumors spread by Camila were indeed true. She was not happy in her life unless she saw Evadne in disgrace.She sadly smiled. “I don’t know what I did to Camila to deserve being fooled by her. I welcomed her into our home. Fed her. Everything was free. But she still wasn’t satisfied because she even got involved with Orion.”“That bitch wanted it anyway,” Isaac said angrily as he took a sip of water.“Exactly. She wanted it too. Don’t worry, I’m okay now. I’ve accepted that it’s over.”“What angers me more is that he dragged you i
AFTER lunch, Gavin suggested watching a movie. Since he claimed to have nothing else to do that afternoon, Evadne agreed.“Don’t you have any important work to do? It’s still a weekday for you to relax,” she teased.“Did you forget who I am?” he replied with a smile.Evadne smirked, “Oh right. You’re the almighty Gavin Wright.”He opened the door on the passenger side, saying, “So, don’t think about my work when we’re together. Got it?”“Fine,” she said before getting into the car. “Thanks,” she added as he fastened her seat belt.During the drive, Evadne remained silent. It was the first time she was out with Gavin.“Where are we sleeping tonight? You choose. In your apartment or my penthouse?”Evadne turned to Gavin, puzzled. “Wh-what?”“Did you go deaf again?” he chuckled. “I mean, why do I have to choose where I’ll sleep tonight? I have my own house.”“Us,” he emphasized. “So don’t think about going back to your place. Got it?”She sighed as if exhaling the tension from the conve
Suddenly, Evadne recalled the moment she saw Gavin again after a month in that same hotel. As he entered the hotel’s main entrance, the hotel staff respectfully bowed to greet him.Now, being with Gavin again and witnessing the same scene, a shiver ran through every inch of her body. It felt like she was walking with a king beside her. If she weren’t beautiful, she would hesitate to stand next to the man. Or if she were of lower status, she might distance herself from Gavin.Gavin’s presence was even more intimidating.It showed how wealthy he was and how the hotel staff respected him, just like her parents.“Is this how your staff always behaves when you arrive at the hotel?” she couldn’t help but ask as they waited for the elevator, reserved exclusively for the hotel owner – which went straight to Gavin’s penthouse on the top floor of the Wright Hotel.“Hmmm. They’re used to it. They were the same with my parents,” Gavin casually replied. You couldn’t tell if he was proud or boastin
In Evadne’s previous visit to Gavin’s penthouse, she didn’t even explore it. Now that she has the chance, that’s exactly what she did. However, she found herself stuck in the pool area. The side of the pool was made of thick transparent glass, providing a clear view of the surrounding buildings and the distant scenery.The view was stunning, as if inviting her to sip red wine while submerged in water, watching the sunset with the pool area facing it.“Wanna swim?” Gavin asked Evadne as he approached her on the pool lounge chair.He joined her and sat on the chair behind her. From there, he wrapped his arms around her waist, causing her to lean back slightly against the chair.“I don’t have a change of clothes,” she told her boyfriend.“There’s a women’s boutique downstairs in this building. I can call them and have something sent over for you.”If she stayed there overnight, she didn’t even have sleepwear or bathing attire for the next day.“I should have stopped by my apartment befor
