And saw the hickey.
Instantly, her face turned pale. That hickey…
Was left by her last night when she couldn’t his torture any further and bit him in a fury.
Back then, she was infuriated and did not have time to think, biting whichever spot she could reach.
Only after her mouth left his body did she realize it was a highly noticeable spot.
At the thought of this, the scene from last night couldn’t help but appear in front of her eyes.
Gradually, a blush creeped onto her cheeks again.
Theo’s eyes fully captured the series of changes in her expression.
He sighed, placed his fork and spoon on the table, lifted the wine glass and emptied it.
To be honest, he knew Brettley had visited Bethan here a few times before and also hid in her room, he knew everything.
Theo tried convincing himself nothing happened between them.
But now…
He placed the empty glass on the table, turned and smiled faintly at Bethan.
“I have a sudden craving for fried chicken, I think I’ll go join Neil and Nellie.”
With that, he smiled wryly and turned to leave. With the bang, the door was closed once again. Bethan closed her eyes in despair.
Theo must think of her as an easy woman, as a liar.
She mentioned countless times before that she wasn’t interested in Brettley.
But, not being interested in him was one thing. Saving Nigel was an entirely different matter.
But she could not tell the truth to everyone who misunderstood her.
“Feel bad?”
All of a sudden, Brettley’s voice rang out beside her ear, full of contempt.
Bethan frowned.
The moment she opened her eyes, Brettley immediately pressed her into her chair, leaning into her, his gaze predatory, just like his actions. “How long have you known him, and now it hurts to see him go?”
Fury colored his voice.
Bethan frowned and turned her head, refusing to look a t him.
He turned her head towards him.
He held up her jaw. “You feel I can’t satisfy you, or you’re that easy and flirtatious, sleeping with every man you meet?”
His words infuriated her.
She furrowed her brows and glared at him, “Brettley Morrison! “
“You’re pissed?”
He leaned down, pressing his thin lips beside her ear, his cold voice riding on his warm breath. “
Before I decide to let you go, don’t you dare dream of letting other men touch you.”
His voice was low and dominating. Bethan laughed as she listened to him.
She raised her head, her eyes mocking him. “You can surround yourself with women, enjoying both my company and your wife’s back home, and I can’t?”
Brettley’s eyes darkened.
A moment later, he sneered, “Are you jealous of Alice?”
Bethan rolled her eyes at him. “I’m not.”
“From the way you looked, it’s obvious you were jealous.”
His mood improved, locking her lips in a kiss.
He swallowed her explanatory words down into his stomach.
At last, he heaved her up into his arms, and threw her onto the big bed in the middle of the bedroom.
Looking at the man pressing into her, Bethan frowned. “Shower…”
He had not showered yet!
Brettley laughed lightly, lifting her off of the bed again, “Together.”
A few minutes later, Bethan lay in the bathroom, struggling vehemently. “Didn’t we agree on taking a shower?”
He laughed again, “I didn’t say we wouldn’t do anything else.”
She rolled her eyes at him and sighed.
“Don’t torture me tonight, I need to wake up early tomorrow for work. There’s some designs I need to draw.”
She still remembered her deal with Brettley. “That can wait.”
He frowned. “Join me on a business trip tomorrow.” “Business trip?”
“Yes, to Sea City. I have some issues to discuss with the Walter family, business and otherwise.”
Bethan’s body stiffened slightly.
The Walter family.
Brettley never used to mention the Walters, neither did he visit them.
Because of Hailey Walter, he did not have a good impression of them at all.
And now, he wanted to go visit them in Sea City of his own volition?
She remembered the press conference earlier in the day.
After he announced to the public he was divorcing Alice, he immediately rushed to the Walters whose daughter he was engaged to marry.
“Is it… to see Hailey Walter?”
“Yes.’
Bethan’s heart fell into the pit of her stomach.
After Cynthal, Alice appeared, and now after Alice, it was Hailey Walter?
This man did not give himself any free time at all.
Early the next morning, Bethan got a call from Brettley the moment she woke up.
“Yuri is waiting for you downstairs, we’ll be spending a week in Sea City, pack your stuff.”
Bethan ended the call in frustration.
When she lowered her phone, she glanced at the time, it was barely 7am.
He had tortured her for so long last night, how was he still so energetic?
After washing herself, Bethan walked out of the bedroom and saw Nellie and Neil standing in the living room and the huge suitcase beside them.
Seeing her emerge from her room, the two kids grinned at her. “Have a nice trip! “
She laughed at the sight of them and walked toward them, opening the suitcase.
Inside was seven days’ supply of her clothes and daily necessities. Her unfinished drawings were folded neatly into the compartment at the side.
