"Nothing…" Sean shook his head. "It's just that…""Just what?" Layla looked at Sean in surprise."It's just…" Sean looked at Layla's bandaged temple. They had to shave a part of her hair there for the operation, and it greatly affected her appearance.Sean's eyes turned red at once."It's just that…
"Yes, I do. What's the matter, Mr. Lakeworth?" Diego asked."Um, could you let me stay there for a while?" Sean asked, pretending to look embarrassed. "Of course, Mr. Lakeworth!" Diego's heart skipped a beat. How could Sean speak to him this way? It was terrifying.However, he knew that Sean could
"Thank you, Blake." Sean felt that he had more strength now that he had Blake's support and understanding."When are you planning to move in?" Blake smiled gently."Let's observe the situation for another two more days. If Layla is stable, we'll leave the hospital," Sean said."Alright." Blake nodde
"Alright, Layla, don't overthink it. You used to really like him. You could say you were head over heels for him," Lindsay said gently, her eyes fixed on Layla's surprised expression.After Layla developed misandry, she avoided any interaction with men except for Sean. This behavior served as the mo
As Lindsay drifted in thought, the Maybach halted in front of Villa 1.The garden alone spanned nearly 20,000 square feet, featuring artificial hills and babbling brooks."Linnie, we've arrived. Let's step out of the car," Layla's voice snapped Lindsay back to reality."Oh? Okay," Lindsay's gaze fli
A faint fragrance drifted into Sean's nostrils, stirring a faint flutter in his heart.As Sean reached out to embrace Blake, he realized she had quietly stepped back, slipping away unnoticed.He stood there, arms outstretched but now empty. A slight blush of embarrassment tinged his cheeks as he gla
"Layla, why don't you take a seat and rest for a moment? I'll have Diego fetch some herbs," Sean suggested."Oh, and I noticed a coffee-colored round hat in my closet just now. If you don't mind, you can use it for now. I'll have Diego bring over a few more ladies' hats," he added."I don't mind. Th
Sean met Lindsay's skeptical gaze and responded with a wry smile."Colonel Zinn, I wasn't lying to you back then. I was just speaking casually," he explained. "Though I may have claimed to be the richest person in the world at the time, it's crystal clear now that Diego holds that title. Don't you a
"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
