Maja also turned to look at him, shivering slightly under his intense gaze.
In fact,n had be even more willful and rough after losing his memory, like someone freshly out
of the military.
Maja once resented him, but no matter what, he was always there, like a persistent ghost.
“Penny, be my girlfriend.”
He said this lightly, his hand on the back of her neck, forcefully pulling her towards him.
In front of her, he dropped the pretentious mask.

“I don’t want to see you like this. If you have problems in the future, juste to me, and I’ll help you.
You support me, and I’ll support you.”
Maja didn’t say anything, so he leaned in and kissed her lightly on the lips.
“Whatever you want to do, I will pave the way for you. After you’ve done what you want, you can kick
me to the curb. But during that process, you can’t betray me. Whatever I want, whenever and
wherever, you must give it to me.”
He spoke while lightly brushing her lips.
For a moment, Maja was indeed bewildered. Any woman would have a hard time refusing such an
offer.
But then she remembered the intimate scene he had with the woman in the box. She had heard the
whole thing from outside.
He could even sleep with women during social asions.
She furrowed her brow, immediately putting distance between them, her face instantly turning cold.
“Mr. Raymond, I appreciate that you saved me, but I’ll pass on being your girlfriend.”
If she really fell for him, who knew how much suffering she would endure.

“If I hadn’t been there tonight, you would have been humiliated by those people. Don’t you believe
that? What are you struggling with? Or did I do something to upset you in the past?”
Maja’s face instantly turned red; her head was already throbbing, and now he was provoking her.
She got up to go to her bedroom, butn yanked her back.
“Exin yourself!”
Maja’s rationality suddenly disappeared. She shook off his hand.
“Because doing that kind of thing with you makes me sick! I don’t even know how many women you’ve
slept with.”
The word “sick” was like a sharp knife, makingn unable to move.
It hurt more than any gunshot wound he had ever had.
He got up, and without hesitation, he pinned her against the wall.
“So who wouldn’t make you feel disgusting doing that kind of thing with? Your ex–husband? Or those
guys in the elevator? You forgot how I just saved you. How can you be so heartless!”
a deal with Carl, his anger was even more intense.
But when he saw her fierce expression; his anger instantly subsided, only feeling a sense of
helplessness.
After a while, he said, “Am I not good enough?”
When he asked this question, he lowered his head, and his tone became gentler, “Or did I treat you
badly before?”
“Indeed, Mr. Raymond, you used to look down on me, belittled me. I once hated you, but tonight, I am
truly grateful to you.”
Looked down on her?
Belittled her?
He didn’t remember doing anything, but he believed she wouldn’t lie.
No wonder she made a deal with Carl. Did she really hope that he would disappear?
Maja, cornered by him, felt slightly suffocated. She wanted to go back to her room, but he suddenly
knelt down and lifted her skirt.
“Mr. Raymond!”
Maja was so scared that her voice was trembling. She angrily grabbed his hair, but soon she rxed,
just leaning against the wall, shuddering.
Her body no longer felt like her own, like being thrown into the sea, being hit by waves.
It wasn’t the first time he had done this to her, but every time she thought about him beingn, she
would tremble weakly.
She felt an indescribable pleasure in her heart, not just because of what he was doing now, but just
thinking about him beingn. She couldn’t help herself.
