“Derek, I beseech you. Illuminate me on Han’s past romantic rtionships. What attributes defined
his past partners?”
Convinced of Derek’s standing as Marcus’ most confidant, someone astute and circumspect, Mavis
found herself grappling with the challenge of extracting information regarding Han.
Ultimately, her inquiries focused on Han’s former paramours.
Palms entwined, Mavis implored Derek to divulge. Just as Derek was poised to reply, an interruption
arose in the form of an incredulous voice.
“What exactly do you think you’re doing?”
The speaker was none other than Han himself, evidently privy to Mavis’ inquisition.
Rising to his feet, Derek maintained a hushed tone.
“He has no history of former rtionships. Love has yet to touch him.”
Mavis, upon hearing this revtion, was jubnt, her tion evident as she murmured a heartfelt
“Thank you.”
Learning that Han had never engaged in romantic entanglements delighted her immensely.
Once Derek had apanied the doctor elsewhere, Mavis gleefully resumed her exploration of the gift
box.
Han was wiping his weapon in the bedroom when a knock sounded at the door. Mavis entered,
mysteriously holding her hands behind her back.
“I didn’t invite you in,” Han bellowed at Mavis, angrily concealing his gun beneath the pillow.

Hearing this, Mavis paused.
“I knocked on the door.”
Though she looked stunning in a red dress, Han’s expression remained stern.
“So what? Did I say you coulde in?”
Mavis’ mouth turned down in disappointment. He would never give permission, even though she
knocked incessantly.
After a moment, she brushed aside her frustration and approached Han cheerfully.
“Don’t be angry. I won’t do it again. You don’t look handsome when you’re angry. Look at this.”
She revealed what she’d been hiding behind her back: a red rope adorned with a small bell. Han
was baffled by it but his tone remained frigid.
“What’s this?”
cing the red rope into Han’s hand, Mavis exined happily.
“This is an anklet. Now, help me put it on my ankle.”Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
