At that moment, Eranthe knocked on the door and entered. After exchanging pleasantries, she presented several proposals for jewelry and art exhibitions.
Laura had her own ideas about the exhibition, but Eranthe tactfully offered suggestions, and Laura decided to sign the contract immediately.
It wasn't about giving face to the younger generation but rather feeling impressed by Erant
“Why didn’t you say that when Mr. Hall was here?” Eranthe doubted.“You want him to watch you wipe my body?” Colin asked, confused.Eranthe choked. “I meant let him do it.”“Why would I let some stinky man touch me?” Colin said irritably.“Then when exactly are you going to take your medicine?”“After you wipe me.”Eranthe took a deep breath. She knew he was lying. The anger that had just settled started rising again.“Lie still.”She wrung out the towel and came over, her movements not exactly gentle—especially since Colin kept staring at her, making her feel strangely uncomfortable.“What are you looking at?”“Thinking about—”“Shut up! You’re not allowed to think that, and you’re not allowed to say it.”Colin: “……”“I meant I need to use the bathroom.”The atmosphere froze for a moment. He propped himself up with one hand, lying slightly on his side, and said with a crooked smile, “What were you thinking about? You little pervert.”Eranthe flung the towel away.“Go by yourself. I’m
Eranthe thought he was just throwing a childish tantrum again, like a kid acting spoiled, so she gradually relaxed. “Then behave and lie still. I’ll stay with you.”Colin obediently nodded, then turned away and quietly bared his wolf fangs with a grimace. Damn this deadly full moon night—and this woman’s fatal attraction—it was nearly driving his wolf nature into a full-blown rampage.Eranthe went to the kitchen, poured out the soup from the insulated container, and brought back a steaming bowl of fragrant turkey shredded soup to the warm, cozy room filled with comforting aroma.Lying on the soft bed, Colin closed his eyes in satisfaction.“Don’t sleep yet. Drink the soup first to warm your stomach.”Colin was pulled up by her. She blew on the soup and fed it to his lips.His gaze instantly softened.“How does it taste?”“A bit bland.”“…”“Having anything for you to eat is already generous. Stop being picky.” Eranthe forced another spoonful into him.After finishing the soup, Colin d
Did they install surveillance outside her door or something? How did he know Colin had already left?Besides, who said she wasn’t taking care of him? She’d just told him to stay in his own place tonight instead of constantly camping out at hers.She rinsed the rice and started cooking.About forty minutes later, she went to knock on the door next door.Colin didn’t open it.Looking at the brand-new keypad lock, Eranthe thought for a moment and entered her own apartment password.Sure enough…The electronic lock clicked open.The moment she stepped inside, she was nearly driven back out by the smell.It was like a concentrated formaldehyde disaster zone.And the entire place had already been torn apart for renovation.Eranthe wasn’t even sure Colin was still inside—no one could stand this environment.“Colin?”She hit the light switch. Probably because of the construction, the lights wouldn’t come on.She took out her phone and used the flashlight, eventually finding him in the bedroom
Taking advantage of the chaos, Erantha scrambled to her feet and fled.“Mr. Rodriguez, we should leave through the back,” someone advised.There were too many people in front, snapping photos and crowding around.“Leave one person here to wait for Eranthe,” Colin said coolly. “Don’t let her go out the front.”If those two kept fighting without restraint, she might get hurt.“Yes, sir.”Colin exited through the back door into the alley behind the restaurant.Erantha had also fled in that direction. When she came face to face with the dignified, cold-looking man, she instinctively covered her face and lowered her head.Colin paused as he passed her. “Didn’t I tell you not to use that name?”“Mr. Rodriguez.” She looked up at him, pitiful and fragile—though her face was already scratched and bruised beyond recognition.Colin had little patience. “Don’t let me see you in Assyria again.”Erantha’s expression changed instantly. “Mr. Rodriguez!”She rushed after him, but the bodyguards stoppe
Colin gestured toward the door. “Everyone else, out. This isn’t a meeting for outsiders. This is a negotiation between two companies—why are there random people here?”“Don’t tell me that if I don’t show up today, you think you can treat the Rodriguez Family like fools?”Erantha blushed and got up to leave. As she passed by Eranthe, she lowered her head in embarrassment.Eranthe noticed that Colin seemed unusually angry today. Normally, even in situations like this, he wouldn’t be so relentless.Colin’s temper flared easily. At home, he could keep a low profile, but if people tried to undermine him here… who had they offended?Once Erantha left, no one dared speak.Jennifer was on the verge of tears.If Colin were the type to pity women, he wouldn’t have been called ruthless behind his back.“Why are you crying? I’m the one being slandered, and you’re the one crying first. Fine, I have time today. Sit there and wait until you clarify yourself. Otherwise, if today you say I’m involved
Jennifer turned sharply to Eranthe. “Eranthe, you tell him. Do you have some history with Mr. Rodriguez or not?”Eranthe smiled lightly. “Mr. Rodriguez? Who doesn’t know him? But Mr. Rodriguez may not even recognize me. I don’t know who told Director O’Halloran that. You say it doesn’t matter. There’s plenty of news about Mr. Rodriguez—don’t tarnish the Rodriguez Family’s name, okay?”“Everyone knows it. Our company being able to collaborate with the Rodriguez Family on Chamber of Commerce events is thanks to government trust and all our employees’ efforts, right, Mr. Hill?”Vice President Hill still couldn’t tell whether Eranthe had any real connection with Colin. He had to take Ana’s words with a grain of salt.But now it seemed Colin wasn’t giving Eranthe any special treatment—if anything, it looked like someone had offended him. Could it be that by calling Eranthe tonight, he had crossed him?It appeared that, in Colin’s mind, Eranthe mattered more than he had thought—after all, s
Perhaps his behavior was just his way of expressing happiness.She bit her lip and reluctantly said, "Next time, please don't do that. I don't like it when people suddenly hug me."Even if she treated him like a little brother, he wasn't her real brother. They were both adults, and su
Eranthe was still standing there, stunned. Colin opened the door on her side and looked at her blank expression, raising an eyebrow. "Are you out of it?"Could Eranthe say that she was a bit weak-kneed from being shaken by his words just now?"You're not going to play any castle imprisonment or dog-le
However, once in the same school, it still felt strange to Eranthe. The second photo was also a class picture, but unfortunately, Colin wasn't in it.By the fourth or fifth photo, a series of basketball court match images came into view.A teenager dressed in a white jersey, with a sports headband wra
"So, what happened next? How did you two get together?" In reality, everyone assumed that Acacia must have pursued Gabriel."Then..." Gabriel's voice lingered in the air, and everyone leaned in to listen."And then I boldly pursued her, and fortunately, Acacia didn't reject me." Gabriel reached for Ac
