"20 years older than him?" Sean raised his eyebrows.This Anthony sure was willing to do anything for money."Yes, that asshole Anthony!" Lindsay gritted her teeth furiously."However, Layla was stubborn. Even after that call, she refused to believe it was real unless she saw it with her own eyes."
Lindsay's expression lit up."Well, you're a pretty good friend to have, Sean. I knew I could count on you."Lindsay patted Sean's shoulder.The chill in Sean's eyes faded as he shook his head with a smile. "You can head back to the war zone with confidence, Colonel Zinn. Leave Dr. Turner to me.""V
"Oh, so you've seen Anthony?" Cherly was a little startled by Layla's response. "Not only have I seen him, I've also kicked him out!" Layla replied straightforwardly."Oh dear, Layla! How could you do that to Anthony? He's head over heels for you! He even bought us lots of gifts! Expensive, exquisi
"Are you coming with us, Sean?" Layla's eyes gleamed as she glanced at Sean."Uh-huh." Sean nodded.He had promised Lindsay to take good care of Layla, and he had no intention of breaking that promise now.More importantly, after learning about Layla's past, he didn't want to see her get hurt by tha
"How could you say that, Cheryl?"With a disdainful look at Cheryl, Tiberius spoke up, "If it weren't for Dr. Lakeworth, I'd still be in the ICU.""He cured you?" Cheryl's eyes slightly flickered."Yes, he did. Dr. Lakeworth is not only skilled but also humble and easygoing. I think he's a good matc
"Anthony, why did you come out?" Cheryl's heart skipped a beat as she noticed Anthony approaching. She was anxious that he might not be pleased to see Layla returning with her boyfriend, potentially jeopardizing her chance to have a billionaire president as a son-in-law!"I heard you all talking fr
"Cheryl, it's just a small token for Layla, nothing as grand as you're making it out to be," Anthony said modestly, pursing his lips slightly as he tried to conceal the pride in his heart.With this ace up his sleeve, he believed no one could resist his offer!"You're being too humble, Anthony. Go a
"You?" Anthony was stunned. Cheryl was stunned as well.Anthony immediately scoffed and said, "Oh, and you'd know?""Of course, as I've just had a meal with Diego. However, never once has he mentioned you while he's with me." Sean smiled as he looked at Anthony."Huh?" Anthony was stunned once again
"Quickly, hold your breaths and hide your presence!" Amelia instructed in a low voice.Everyone suppressed their breaths and hid in the bushes.In the sky, a swoosh echoed, and tracking waves radiated through the air. Upon failing to detect the presence of any vital energy, they quickly left.After
"What? Did you say that Grandma and the others are here?" Selene's heart skipped a beat."Yes! Hide yourself!" Sean said urgently.Suddenly, they heard a swoosh, and before they could move a muscle, the sounds of wind breaking resounded in the forest. The strongest presence amongst them had already
"First time?" Startled, Sean then realized what she was speaking about and chuckled awkwardly. "Yeah, it was. What's the matter?""That explains it." Selene had a confident look on her face, as if she were now sure of something. "What do you mean?" Sean asked, puzzled."That explains why there's su
"Would you like to expose Zephyr's scheme?" Sean asked in a deep voice when he saw the iciness in Selene's eyes."Yes." Selene nodded. The disgust she held for Zephyr was undisguised in her tone."The Ten Great Families are still in the dark; even if both of us combine forces, we're far from being Z
"Selene, I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I couldn't control myself." Upon hearing Selene's low mumbling, Sean felt the numbness in his scalp intensify.Even though he had been forced to take action in this incident, he took the initiative to claim the responsibility. After all, Selene was at
Selene moaned softly, gradually waking up.Sean took in a sharp breath and felt his scalp turning numb. This was bad! He hurriedly got up, wanting to clear up the scene.However, when he looked at the clothes strewn across the floor, he knew that it was too late to dress Selene and cover her body.
Sean's body tensed, his mind resonating with a thunderous roar.Before he could react, Selene's soft lips pressed firmly against his. Her tongue, sweet yet tentative, explored his mouth.In an instant, heat ignited within Sean like a wildfire. Unable to restrain himself any longer, he swiftly pushed
"Selene, what are you doing?"Sean's heart skipped a beat as Selene suddenly embraced him from behind, resting her head against his chest.He sensed that if this continued, it could lead to serious trouble.At that moment, Selene's breath hitched.The sensation of Sean's body pressed against hers, a
Sean's eyes widened in shock. He had never expected Selene to kiss him so passionately!Her lips were remarkably soft, and her tongue moved with nimble grace, despite her lack of experience. Fueled by the ambergris, her kiss was intense and fiery.At that moment, Sean felt as if he were about to mel
