Chapter 250


    My gaze faltered, and I was left speechless as I realized that the man holding me was none other than


    Ronan. This totally threw me off!


    "You... what are you doing here? You..." I stammered, full of confusion as I quietly asked him. Could it


    be that he was here to eavesdrop too?


    Moreover, it seemed like he had been here longer than I had. Howe I had not noticed when he


    came out?


    Upon seeing my intense stare, Ronan simply shrugged, wrapping his arms around himself, not backing


    down. "What do you think?" he asked, his voice tinged with annoyance. "You''re too reckless. Don''t ever


    do such risky things again!"


    "How was I supposed to know it was going to rain and thunder so heavily?" I argued, feeling a bit


    defiant. If he could do it, why couldn''t I?


    "What''s rain got to do with anything? Do you even know what kind of person you''re dealing with?


    Jerome is a lot more ruthless than you think. Curiosity killed the cat, you know?" His voice grew stern,


    his face hardened.


    I snorted dismissively at his words, rolling my eyes at him. Remembering the way he held me close


    earlier, my cheeks inexplicably flushed. I was speechless. What the hell was this?


    I was still in marriage with three children, for heaven''s sake. Wasn''t this practicallymitting a sin?


    I knew the scent I had smelled earlier was familiar! We had spent so much time close to each other


    back in the day, that scent was unmistakable.


    "Hmph... Speaking of which, what are you doing here? Don''t tell me you stumbled upon this by


    ident?" I countered, before asking curiously, "Did you hear what they were saying?"


    He looked at me and smirked. He leaned in closer, his hands resting on the door, trapping me against


    his body. His eyes were fixed on my face, a smirk ying on his lips. "You''re trembling, yet you still


    dared to get close to a man. You''ve got quite some nerve, right?"


    He continued to stare at me, his questioning gaze almost intimidating. "What if I hadn''t been the one


    here today? What do you think would have happened?"


    I was so irritated by his words that I rolled my eyes again. When had he be so shameless? I was


    still getting used to the unfamiliar face before me, yet he had the audacity to say such things.


    I stared back at him, my mind racing, trying to figure out how to counter this familiar stranger.


    Without warning, he leaned in and quickly pecked my nose.


    Boom... My brain went nk.


    I stood there, leaning against the door, staring nkly at him. He gazed back at me, our eyes locked. I

    felt like I was about to lose my breath.


    This had never happened before. If he had dared to do this back in the day, I... I would have followed


    him to the ends of the earth, waiting for him, no matter how long it took, without any regrets. But now,


    his actions hade twelve years toote. What was he trying to achieve now? This was rude!


    My mind was a whirl of protest, excitement, and regret...


    His eyes lit up with a passionate glow as he slowly leaned closer. His familiar scent enveloped me,


    filling my nostrils.


    Just when his lips were about to meet mine...
