Chapter 2
In a daze, I seemed to hear a man calling my name.
“Ella, don’t mess around…”
It was really noisy.
I furrowed my brow and kissed his lips, and sure enough, there was no sound.
No wonder the high–end clubs here are so popular, the male models not only have good looks, but also know how to play hard to get.
Finally, I heard a sigh coming from above.
“Since it was your initiative, don’t regret it.”
Immediately, the man turned over and pressed me down, engulfing me in the raging storm as he
kissed me.
After a night of enchantment.
It was still dark when I jolted awake, and it took me a while to realize that I had slept with a stranger, a male model from a club.
The man was still asleep, so I quietly got dressed and slipped away.
I went out and passed by the huge glass door of the commercial street. I discovered that my
neck. had been torn and there were various unsightly bright red marks on my
clothes
While my brother was still asleep, I quickly sneaked back home to cover up with concealer. Just as I stepped through the door, an indifferent voice came from above.
“Where did you go last night?”
Reynold held his arms and leaned against the doorway, looking at me.
I was stunned, wasn’t he indulging with Cindy in the hotel?
He still had a conspicuous circle of love bites on his neck, with a lazy and indifferent gaze.
I lowered my head nervously, thinking that after last night’s incident, Reynold and I would completely sever our ties and I would only treat him as a brother from now on.
“I went out for a walk… How did you come back so quickly?”
Reynold’s new villa was under renovation, and due to my brother’s connection, he stayed at my

house for the past few months.
I looked around, “Where is Ms. Smith? Didn’t she come back with you?”
The next second, Reynold’s gaze fell darkly on me.
“Ella, where did you go last night, and who did all of this?”
It was only then that I realized he was talking about the hickey on my neck.
I instinctively pulled up my collar to cover it, “Not much, just got bitten by mosquitoes.”
Reynold sneered, “Don’t think I don’t know, last night your brother not only drugged me, but there was also something in your drink.”
What, last night you conspired with your brother and didn’t sleep with me, but went out to sleep with another man?
“Ella, did you think that deliberately calling Cindy over last night and then disappearing for the whole night would make me worry? You played the wrong trick with this strategy of playing hard to get!”
I was confused. Why was Reynold so angry?
Didn’t I help him and Cindy get together?
He realized how bitter his heart felt, as he thought that last night’s sacrifice was me intentionally playing hard to get with him.
His indifferent and cold voice continued to be heard.
As you saw, last night I was with Cindy and I will marry her. I advise you, no matter what tricks you
want to play, I hope you can put them away.
I lowered my gaze and smiled lightly, “Okay.”
“I’m sorry for what my brother did with the medicine, but…”
“I really didn’t like you anymore.”
Reynold looked up at me, his brows furrowed tightly, clearly unwilling to believe.
People in this small circle used to know that I had a secret crush on Reynold. I stubbornly refused to
enter into a romantic relationship and turned down countless blind dates, cutting off all potential
love interests for him.

But now, I know I was wrong.
I didn’t want to see my daughter being born with hope and then dying in despair, just like in my previous life.
Reynold was about to speak when suddenly there came a terrified scream from behind me.
“Ah, oh my goodness, how did an extra person appear in the house…”
He rushed over, trembling, pointing at the room upstairs.
“When did Cindy sleep at our house?”
Reynold closed the room door with a serious expression, and explained calmly.
“It was me who brought her here last night. She was tired after a whole night, and she couldn’t get used to staying in a hotel, so I brought her back to rest well.”
“What?!”
My brother looked at him with a complicated expression on his face, then turned to me and asked, “Did you two… not last night?”
Finally, his gaze fell suspiciously on the two of us.
I hurriedly fled, “Noah, I went back to sleep first.”
I quickly ran back to the room and closed the door, still faintly hearing their voices coming through.
It was probably my brother questioning Reynold about what exactly happened.
It was lunchtime, and my brother knocked on the door and called me to go out for a meal, but I
didn’t get up.
“Noah, I wasn’t hungry yet, you guys go ahead and eat.”
Soon, Cindy’s soft laughter could be heard from outside.
“I’ll go wake up Ella. Speaking of which, last night Reynold and I got together so quickly, thanks to
Ella.”
