“Go sleep in your room! Because of you, Ysabelle has gotten the wrong idea…” Sophie grumbled. Argh! Ysabelle must’ve thought there was some hanky-panky going on between us!

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Tristan replied. “You’re now my fiancée, so why should anyone care what we get up to around here? It’s none of their business.”

Oh, come on. Do I need everyone else’s permission to be in a relationship?

“A while more. Let’s cuddle a while more, and I’ll leave,” he added, a far cry from his usual authoritative self.

Upon seeing how beguiling the man was, Sophie gave in and took the initiative to hug him.

Fine… I can never reject him when he plays dirty, anyway. In fact, I don’t think I can ever bring myself to turn him down.

Meanwhile, Ysabelle had rushed out with her phone in hand, only to be stopped by Sarah before she could enter her room.

“Why are you running? What on earth could be chasing you at home?”

“Aunt Sarah, I…” Ysabelle mumbled, her face red with embarrassment.

Then again, how could she not be when she had walked in on another couple doing the deed? Even though she and Felix were also dating, the latter never went beyond hugging and kissing her.

Naturally, she’d be mortified to witness such an intimate scene!

“What’s the matter with you? Are you not feeling well? Do you want to see the doctor?” Sarah asked worriedly when she saw the flush in Ysabelle’s cheeks.

For a moment, the young woman touched her face and bit her lower lip as she lapsed into silence. “I’m all right, Aunt Sarah.”

Sarah, however, remained doubtful.

“What’s wrong with you, then?”
