Chapter 266

Julien was always on guard, especially against Hayden bringing up the past, but she never expected him to do it so blatantly and directly.

Thanks to her good memory, even though her actions when drunk were unpredictable, she could always recall every detail the next day.

So, she remembered that night very clearly.

“First, I don’t remember. Second, I won’t believe a word you say. So, there’s no need for discussion.” She tried to walk away, but he grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

Julien was not short, but Hayden towered over her. Being pulled back like this, his chest was pressed against her ear.

His cool lips brushed against her ear, “I didn’t plan on discussing with you.”

“Then let go!” She tried to pull away from his grasp, but her efforts were in vain.

“How come you haven’t learned after all these years?” His magnetic voice seemed to bewitch her.

If he didn’t let go, she knew she wouldn’t be able to escape. She’d learned that lesson long ago.

“So when do you plan on letting go?” She maintained her position, not resisting, trying her best not to get used to such close contact.

Instead of answering her question, he bluntly asked, “What does it feel like now?”

“No feeling.” She replied coldly.

“And now?” His hand moved from her waist to her buttocks.

She was wearing tight jeans today, which accentuated her curves. When his hand covered her backside, Julien froze.

“What do you plan on doing next?” She asked, her voice strained.

“Still no feeling?” His seductive voice whispered into her ear, “That’s how you teased me that night.”

“Have I gone mad?” She said uncomfortably. She was a skilled liar, but only she knew how hollow her words were.

Julien’s hair had grown to shoulder-length. His large hand brushed her hair off her shoulder, revealing her smooth neck. Suddenly, he bent down and pressed his lips against her neck.

Her cool neck, his warm lips.

Julien involuntarily stiffened, trying to push him away, but knowing that if she moved, she would fall into his trap. So she remained motionless, asking him coldly, “Do you want me to sleep with you?”
