Treyton fell into silence before blowing out a long breath. “You’re right. Dad’s stubborn. Convincing him to change his mind is harder than flying.”

“That makes it worth the challenge. Are you scared, Treyton?” Gwendolyn clapped him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry. I’ll help put in a few words for you. Plus, he may be able to control who you marry, but he can’t control who you date. Just do what you want, but keep a low profile.”

Treyton mulled over the wisdom in her words.

The pair chatted as they walked and arrived at the ancestral hall entrance sooner than expected.

Gwendolyn suddenly stiffened in shock as she stared at the empty doorway.

I forgot someone!

She exclaimed, “Oh no! I was so absorbed in our chat that I forgot about Jennifer. Why didn’t I see her while we were heading to the door? She said she would wait for you at the entrance to the ancestral hall!”

Treyton knitted his brows and asked, “Did she follow us here?”

“Yes. She said she was worried about you.” Gwendolyn wondered if she should turn back to find Jennifer. “She never breaks her promise. She wouldn’t have left unless she saw you. Unless…” Gwendolyn trailed off

and met Treyton’s gaze.

Both their expressions grew somber as their thoughts arrived at the same conclusion.

Treyton turned around first and sprinted in the direction of his villa.

Gwendolyn was not far behind as they headed down from the summit to the halfway point.

They were just pushing open the iron gates to the villa when Jennifer walked out with her luggage.

Treyton strode forward and asked, “Why did you pack your luggage?”

Jennifer lowered her head and replied somewhat guiltily, “I’m sorry to have imposed on your kindness, Mr. Harris. Almost a month has passed since Walter’s cheating scandal, and I’m sure the netizens have long forgotten about it. It’s time for me to move back to my place.”

Treyton grasped her wrist and yanked the luggage out of her grip. “I disagree!”

“Mr. Harris, you have no right to stop me from leaving. You’ve successfully broken off your engagement to Ms. Ferguson, so our contract is void!” Jennifer’s annoyance seeped through her words.

This was the first time she had said such harsh things to him.

Treyton pursed his lips, a frosty expression on his face. After some thought, he asked, “Did Lorelai say something to you when she left the ancestral hall?”

Jennifer did not bother to hide the truth and confessed, “She was absolutely right. We belong to different

worlds. I’ll never be a good match for you. I’m just a fake lover you hired for a job. It was improper for me to develop feelings for you, and I should not hold you back from meeting a woman deserving of you. I—”

Her protests were cut off by Treyton, who closed the distance between them, pulled her head to his, and poured his apologies into a passionate kiss.

The atmosphere became tinged with an intimate mood.

That was the scene Gwendolyn witnessed when she barged into the villa grounds.

She smiled in relief and shook her head. Her footsteps instantly felt lighter as she silently took her leave.

Jennifer broke free from the overpowering kiss first.

Treyton hurriedly explained, “I fell for you first. In fact, I should be the one apologizing. Last night… when you were intoxicated, I shouldn’t have done that to you. But 1…”

The night before, when he brought Jennifer back to the villa, the only thing on his mind was to help her get a quick shower and give her some medication to relieve her pain.

He never expected her to completely fall under the influence of the drug and attempt to seek comfort with his body.

Treyton hated how he had given in so easily to his lust.

He had been celibate for years, yet Jennifer had obliterated his restraints.

Recollections of their deeds from last night instantly filled Jennifer’s mind.

She blushed in embarrassment.

“L–Last night was an accident. Don’t think too much of it, Mr. Harris. I–I will never use it against you as emotional blackmail or anything. Let’s just… pretend it never happened!”

Indignance was written all over Treyton’s face as he accused, You! You immoral woman! Aren’t you going to take responsibility for me after bedding me?”
