Chapter 404 No Hesitation
As grew greedier as we kissed. He cradled my head and prevented me from pulling away. Finally, he
released me and looked at me affectionately.
“Are you still jealous?” His husky voice returned me to my senses, and I met his eyes.
I stared at him dumbfounded as he touched my lips. He tenderly said, “Your body is more honest than
your attitude. It shows how much you crave me.”
As’s shameless words resembled a

“You’re not being honest. If you genuinely despised me, as your expression suggests, you would’ve

proves how much you want me. Am I wrong?”
He smirked. “Would you like to try again?”
I pushed him and cursed, “You’re shameless!”
Then I reached for the car door, got out, and mmed it shut. His words angered me because I knew
he
was ying with me. He just dropped off one girl and came to flirt with me. He behaved so despicably.
I stomped toward the door, but he grabbed me again. He leaned in and whispered, “We don’t have
many
chances to meet like this. Why are you so stubborn?”
His breath brushed against my neck, making me freeze. A momentter, I remembered his yful
words. and pushed him away again. “Stay away from me! Don’t hold me with the hand that touched
Harmony. It
disgusts me.”
As’s grip on my wrist remained firm, causing me pain as I struggled. I yelled, “Let me go!”
“Chloe, my embrace belongs only to you,” he argued, his expression growing colder.
“Do you think I’m blind?” I looked at him with my head held high. “You tantly carried Harmony away
without even ncing at me. Now you’re saying you’ll only embrace me? Do you even have a shred of
decency when you lie?”
I saw an inexplicable emotion in As’s eyes. He didn’t offer an exnation, which infuriated me. I
pulled.
my hand from his grip, saying, “Save your sweet talk for that idiot. She might fall for it, but not me.”
I turned and entered my house, I hadn’t forgotten about him carrying Harmony away.
My mom opened the door, perhaps because she had been waiting for me to get home. She asked,
“Why’d
it take you so long toe in?”
I told a white lie, “A colleague brought something over, and we chatted for a bit. Mom, let’s go to bed.”
I closed the door, linked arms with my mom, and went upstairs. Once in my room, I didn’t bother turning
on the lights. I put my bag aside and sat on the sofa, unable to contain myself. Quietly, I approached
the window and looked out. I still hadn’t heard the sound of his car leaving
Sure enough, I saw his car in its usual spot. I knew he was still there. After a long time, I saw the car
lights sh suddenly. It drove down the small road and gradually disappeared. I closed my eyes
momentarily and licked my still–warm lips, which still tasted like him.
I recalled his words, “We don’t have many chances to meet like this. Why are you so stubborn?”
Then, I turned and smiled sadly. How could this be my resolution? I had prayed and dreamt of him for
countless nights, yet everything he did for me was just a scheme. He still excluded me even if he didn’t
mean to deceive me.
Suddenly, I felt empty
The following day, I called Lauren while driving to work. I asked her to find a way to get Jared’s contact
information. She immediately understood my intentions
“Do you want to meet him?” Lauren asked me. “Why this sudden urge?”
“Yeah, it’s the only way to help Ivanna. I can’t just stand by and watch,” I exined, recounting what I
saw between Trinity and Jared yesterday.
*Do you have anything important to do today?” she asked, “I’ll find Jared’s contact information and
meet you somewhere.”
“I have to swing by ATL Empire to sign a contract. Meanwhile, you should try to find a way as soon as
possible. I wanted to go to the capital, but I must meet Jared first. I have a hunch that this can’t wait.
I’m afraid something might suddenly happen.”Original from N?velDrama.Org.
