Chapter 638


    Ste spoke after a while of silence, “But I have many affairs to deal with in the studio. Or can you wait


    until the fashion week is over?”


    rence was rendered speechless.


    He said, “I want to take a bath. Go dry your hair.”


    Ste replied with a nasal sound, “Have you had dinner?”


    “I ate a bit.”


    Before rence walked into the bathroom, Ste took out her hair dryer and blew her hair until it was


    half dry, Then she stood up and walked into the kitchen to prepare a simple meal for rence.


    After a while, rence walked over, wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, and kissed her


    ear, “Did you change a body wash?”


    “Yep. I bought it online. Does it smell good?”


    “It’s good.”


    Ste said, “Use the one I bought for you. Don’t always use my body wash.”


    rence asked with dissatisfaction, “Why?”


    “This body wash is for girls and its fragrance is stronger. It’s weird for you to use it. If other people smell


    the fragrance, they will think that you’re a pervert.”


    ”Except for you, who will have the mood to lean over me to smell it?”


    Ste was speechless.


    She imagined the scene that Nathan leaned towards rence and thought it was indeed horrifying.


    Ste pulled rence’s hand, “Well, let go of me. I will turn off the fire.”


    rence slowly withdrew his hands and straightened his back.


    Ste put the bowl and spoon onto the table, “Go eat it. I will draw the designs. Leave the dishes on the


    table after finishing the meal and don’t wash them. Please.”


    She liked this set of dishes and she had only used them for two days. They tenaciously survived from


    ine, and Ste hoped that they could be preserved for a period.


    rence smirked and picked up the spoon.


    Ste came back to her bedroom, opened the drawing book and continued to draw the unfinished


    design.


    After a long while, the door of the bedroom was gently pushed open.


    rence leaned against the door with one hand in his pocket and looked at her silently.


    Ste showed extraordinary tenacity in the face of the things she loved.


    If she didn’t marry him four years ago, she would have achieved great achievement in this industry.


    She had been clear of what she really wanted after divorcing him.


    But he himself, who once thought that he had a clear mind, had a messy life in the end.


    When Ste finished the design, she put down the pencil and stretched outzily. When she turned


    around, she found rence standing at the door and fixing his eyes on her. His ck eyes appeared to


    be unfathomable and calm.


    Ste felt a bit embarrassed under his gaze, “Why are you standing there?”


    rence slightly raised his brows and said slowly, “I’m captivated by you.”


    Ste was rendered speechless.


    rence continued, “Women look beautiful when they''re serious.”


    Ste was lost for words again.


    “And you’re the most beautiful one.”


    Ste couldn’t withstand it anymore, “All right. Enough.”


    rence curled his lips into a smile, closed the door and walked into the room, “Have you finished it?”}


    “Almost.”


    rence walked over, carried her up and then put her onto the bed, “Then go to bed.”


    Ste stared at him, “I will go to bed, but why do you take advantage of me.”


    rence tugged the stand of hair in front of her forehead behind her ear, lowered his head and bit her


    lips, “Warm-up before sleeping.”


    The words that Ste wanted to say were swallowed by him.


    The man’s lips cruised all the way down from her lips and wandered around her corbone.


    Ste moaned when she felt the tingle.


    rence bit the shoulder girdle of her nightdress, pulled it down with his teeth andnded a kiss on her


    shoulder.


    Ste’s eyes gradually became watery. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck,


    panting.

    rence ced his big palm on her waist and rubbed it affectionately. But he still didn’t move to the


    next step.


    Ste looked at him with a pair of watery eyes which were tinged with sexual desire and confusion.


    rence leaned forwards and whispered into her ear.


    Ste red at him. But as her eyes were tinged with sexual desire, her re didn’t have any effect.


    rence’s ck eyes were tinged with a smile, “Hurry up, honey.”


    Ste was lost for words.


    Then Ste had been forced to call him “hubby” the whole night.


    This was this wretched man’s usual trick.


    ...


    At the same time...


    At the next door...


    Holding her phone in her hand, ine was in a dilemma until it was midnight.


    As it was sote, ine thought her dad must have gone to bed, so shey down on the bed without


    any mental burden.


    When she was sleeping, her phone which was ced on the bedside table rang.


    ine half-opened her eyes and picked up her phone. When she found the caller ID was her father,


    she was so frightened that she immediately sat up.


    The phone in her hand was like a hot potato. She didn’t dare to put it down, nor did she dare to hold it.


    After having a mental struggle for a long while, ine finally slid the screen to answer the door. Then


    she immediately amplified the voice and tossed the phone onto the bed.


    At the other end of the phone, Franklin shouted angrily, “You finally answer my call, huh?”


    Lying on the bed, ine mumbled, “You didn’t call me before.”


    “I didn’t call you before? How dare you say this? Do you have any conscientiousness?”


    ine finally recalled that when she left Riverside, she blocked her father’s number as she was afraid


    of being bombarded by phone calls, and maybe she subconsciously removed him from the cklist as


    she was hesitating whether to give him a call or not.


    As ine was the one who did wrong, she didn’t retort it.


    Franklin continued, “I asked my men to pick you up. Why didn’t you go back?”


    ”I think this ce is good and I don’t want to go back.”


    “Even if you go out for fun and rxation, it has been one week. Hurry up toe back.”


    ine refused it, “No.”


    Franklin was immediately infuriated, “ine James, do you know how serious it is? How dare you


    secretly left Riverside? If it wasn’t that I and your grand-grandpa have suppressed the news, you would


    have been removed out of the pedigree of the James family.”


    ”I don’t care! Is there any advantage to be on the pedigree? Anyone who wants it can just take it.”


    ”You...”


    ine shifted the topic, “Dad, City N is good and the world outside of Riverside is also wonderful. I


    can’t understand why do you guys confine yourself in Riverside. All human beings have independent


    consciousness. We aren’t cats or puppies that have no means to resist it when being locked in cages.”


    Franklin was lost for words.


    ine continued, “All right. I call you to tell you that I’m safe and that I live well in City N. You don’t


    have to worry about me. Goodbye.”


    At the other end of the phone, Franklin took a deep breath when he heard the busy tone.


    It was him who called ine, how could she distorted the truth and said that it was her who call him to


    tell him that she was safe?


    Hilbert, who sat behind Franklin, asked with his eyes closed, “ine still refuses to go back, right?”


    Franklin turned around, “I’ve spoiled her when she was young so that she’s unruly now.”


    ”Never mind. She’s not the only one who broke the rules.”


    Franklin asked after a while of silence, “Then what about her marriage with Darnell?”


    Hilbert slowly opened his eyes, “Let’s put the marriage again. Our current concern is to persuade those


    doyens and let them agree to Darnell on abolishing those rules of the James family.”


    ”They won’t agree to it.”


    ”Even so, we have to try.” Hilbert continued in a deep voice, “The reason why Darnell sent ine to


    City N is to force us to side him.”
