Cynthia stared at him and retorted, “Do you want me to give you another punch?”

Joshua remained silent.

Perhaps it was because he was no longer worried, or maybe it was the romantic lighting in the room, but he felt irresistibly drawn to Cynthia, and he really wanted to be close to her.

Since they had started sleeping in separate beds six months ago, they had not slept together, let alone had sex.

Joshua approached Cynthia step by step, enveloping Cynthia with his domineering aura.

Cynthia furrowed her brow and disliked the atmosphere.

“At this point, do you think I’ll let you go?”

“Do you want to sleep with me?” Cynthia asked.
