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
"So, you really possess the strength of a Martial Emperor?" Lindsay looked at Sean in astonishment."Yeah," Sean affirmed with a nod.He saw no reason to continue denying his strength; it would just come across as fake. Plus, there wasn't any need to hide it either.Lindsay couldn't help but gasp in
Just then, the sound of the doorbell downstairs startled both Sean and Lindsay."That must be Diego. I'll go answer the door," said Sean, shaking off his somber mood and forcing a smile before he headed downstairs.Observing Sean, Lindsay detected a hint of sadness in his demeanor. Something inexpli
"Layla, wait a moment." Lindsay felt a sudden sense of unease as she watched Layla cheerfully descend the stairs. Quickly, she followed downstairs as well.However, Lindsay arrived a moment too late. Layla had already reached the garden.At that moment, Sean was getting ready to give Anthony a thoro
"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
