Chapter 858


    His jesting tone, the mboyant allure of his looks, the devilishly captivating charm, and that


    provocative lift of his eyebrows…


    Everything was oh-so familiar.


    Damn it!


    It was ric Falconer!


    Upon recognizing the drenched man, Hertha’s eyes widened in shock.


    There he was, out and about, flirting with multiple women at the same time.


    How toxic!


    He deserved that ssh.


    The woman was pretty, dressed up like a doll from aic book. When ric asked her if she can’t


    handle a little fun, she pouted at him, ming him for his actions. “Mr. Falconer, you said you only


    loved me. Why are you chatting up other women while we are on a date?”


    “I’ve told many women that I only love them. I warned you about this beforehand. If you can’t handle it,


    then don’t waste our time. You didn’t mind then, but now you’re making a fuss. What’s your game? I


    have plenty of women waiting in line, you know,” ric said casually, wiping his face dry with a napkin.


    He didn’t care about her feelings.


    Stifling her anger, the woman managed to suppress her initial impulse to storm away. Instead, she


    forced a smile and snuggled up to ric. “Mr. Falconer, I’m sorry. I was just too impatient because I


    love you too much. There’s still water on your face. Let me lick it dry for you.” She moved closer,


    intending to lick the water off his face.


    “Good heavens, what an eyesore.” Noticing this, Hertha shivered, and felt goosebumps all over.


    ric raised an eyebrow and saw Hertha at the adjacent table. Just as the woman was about to lick his


    face, he pushed her away. “You can leave now. You’ve lost even the right to wait in line.”


    The woman stumbled but managed to steady herself. “Mr. Falconer, please don’t. I’ve learned my


    lesson, so give me another chance.”


    ric gave her a cold look. “Leave. Don’t make me repeat myself.”


    Scared by his sudden harshness, she hesitated before finally leaving, heartbroken.


    ric cleaned his hands and walked over to Hertha and Thssa’s table. His lips curled up into a


    teasing smile. “What a coincidence, Hertha, Did you find out about my whereabouts and follow me here


    again?”


    Hertha did a lot of this sort of thing to pursue ric, getting ric’s whereabouts in advance and then


    bringing Thssa along for a chance encounter with ric.


    Hertha rolled her eyes. “You’re too narcissistic. We’re just here for a meal. If we knew we would witness


    such a nauseating scene, we wouldn’t have


    ric took a seat next to them, his smile never-fading. “What did you see?”


    “I saw…” Hertha was about to reply when she noticed the knowing look in ric’s eyes. She realized


    he was baiting her into admitting she had seen him with another woman. He was trying to make her


    jealous, wasn’t he?


    Well, she wouldn’t give him the satisfaction.


    Hertha quickly changed her tone and replied with a grin, “A puppy drooling over a dog in public, a sight


    so appalling it makes everyone’s stomach churn.”

    ric’s smile froze.


    Did she just call him a dog?


    “Hertha, watch yournguage,” ric warned.
