But she was also relieved that lan was a very tidy man; all his shoes were stored inside the shoe cabinet, with none left outside.
If Samuel found shoes belonging to a man here, her life would fall apart completely.
Samuel placed a gift box on the dining table and met her gaze.
Her eyes were soft like water, and her cheeks flushed as if touched by blush.
This face, with such an expression, it wouldn’t be unfair to call her a enchantress.
His fingertips paused slightly as his gaze fell on her cheek. “Did Charles hit you?”
Yolanda felt a tingling on her scalp from the provocation. Charles was a strict older brother. Though not her biological brother, he was like an elder to her.
Samuel is twenty–seven this year, looking more mature and steady than his peers. He always slicks his hair back.
He once said that looking mature helps to command respect.
“Charles…”
This way of addressing him had changed tone, sounding melodious and lingering.
Samuel’s eyelashes trembled as he looked away. “Mom and Dad tried calling you but couldn’t get through. Charles said you didn’t come home last night. I just guessed you might be here.”
She couldn’t hear what Samuel was saying. After the fear disappeared, what remained was the most primal feeling.
Samuel kept talking but then saw her suddenly slump over the table like she was crying.
The shoulder blades on her back looked like fluttering butterflies, as if they might break through the fabric and fly away at any moment.
“Yolanda, are you crying?”
Samuel hesitated slightly, then rested his hand on her shoulder.
Yolanda looked up, her eyes hazy and clouded with drunkenness, a flush spreading across her
face.
A different color reflected in his pupils.

His fingertips paused, then he withdrew his hand.

“Call Mom and Dad later. I’m leaving. Since you live here, I won’t come around anymore.”
After saying this, his tone grew uncertain. He took off his suit jacket and suddenly draped it over her shoulders.
“Even if you’re home alone, you need to be careful.”
Yolanda gasped for breath, fine beads of sweat forming on her forehead. “Charles, I know.”
Her sweat smelled sweet.
Samuel frowned, straightened up, glanced at the takeout on the table, and reminded her, “Eat less takeout.”
The Grant residence has strict rules for her upbringing, forbidding takeout because it’s bad for the skin.
“I’m not eating it, sorry.”
Her voice still trembled, but she was doing her best to hold it back.
After Samuel left the villa, he got into his car, leaned back, reached to light a cigarette but stopped himself.
A call came from the company, asking him to return quickly for a meeting.
His wrist tightened, he pressed the gas pedal.
Inside the room.
Yolanda said hoarsely, “Are you crazy?”
The little dog’s chin rested on her lap. “Do you like it?”
She couldn’t say she didn’t like it; she had never experienced anything like this before.
It was given to her by Ian.
Only lan, her younger brother by two years.
Her whole body went limp, and she whispered hoarsely, “lan.”
Ian stood up and cupped her face to kiss her.
Her eyes were like they were shrouded in a fog; under such stimulation, her consciousness

hadn’t fully returned, and she could only respond instinctively.

After the kiss, his fingertips gently brushed her cheek. “Ms. Grant, are you really not going to get a divorce?”
Those words snapped her instantly awake from her near–drowning state, and she slowly moved his hand away.
Ian’s eyes darkened.
Yolanda stood up and heard something fall to the ground. Looking down, she saw it was Samuel’s suit.
She picked up the suit, and the memory of just now made her body weaken in waves.
It’s truly outrageous, daring beyond belief.
Ian held her, “If you don’t want to leave, then don’t. I won’t say anything more.”
His voice lowered, “I won’t say it again.”
Yolanda pushed him away, swallowing hard, “How do I
The puppy wagged its tail.
“I’ll go dry your clothes, wait for me.”
He went upstairs.
get back?”
Yolanda rubbed her legs, feeling more and more hopeless.
She glanced at her phone–dead battery. No wonder Samuel found his way here.
She originally planned to have Ian move out, but Charles said he wouldn’t come back again.
He always keeps his word.
She sighed in relief. Even now, she thinks she must have been crazy to do that in front of Samuel…
If anyone found out, even dunking in a pig cage would be a light punishment.
But Jan wasn’t just reckless once. Once she lowered her standards, she realized how badly she could misbehave.
Charles can have mistresses outside.

Why can’t she keep a puppy?
But lan doesn’t listen well. There’s a wild streak in his bones; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten involved in underground fighting.
Forget it. She’ll take it one step at a time.
By the time lan took the warm clothes down, half an hour had passed.
He had ironed the clothes neatly. Standing nearby, he was still reserved, but the sparkle in his eyes was unmistakable.
She smiled and put her clothes on. “You still have to shoot today. Rest for a few hours before going out. If anyone bothers you, remember to call me.”
“Mm.”
He was really like two different people in daily life and during that other thing.
Yolanda liked this contrast.
She drove back and stopped by the studio first.
Megan wasn’t there, and the studio was a mess, like a thief had rummaged through it.
She called Megan repeatedly but got no answer.
Yolanda frowned deeply and drove to Megan’s house.
Before she got close, Megan’s voice came from inside, “Can you please stop borrowing from loan sharks?”
Then came her husband’s voice, “You make a lot of money hanging out with that tramp, right? Where’s the money? Megan, didn’t you love me the most?”
Yolanda’s fingertips touched the doorknob, and she heard a slap and the sound of something heavy hitting the floor inside.
She quickly pushed open the door. The room was in chaos; everything that could be broken was smashed, and chairs and the sofa were tipped over.
Megan was sitting on the floor, crying, while the man raised his hand high.
