Staring in shock at the kneeling man, Yulia mustered her remaining sanity as she replied, âB-but youâre younger-â âEven if thatâs the case, doesnât that mean that Iâm much more âcapableâ than your older pursuersâŠ?â âŠWhy were his words so suggestive all of a sudden?! Forcing herself to calm down, she took a deep breath before saying, ââŠElliot, Iâm not sure what spurred this decision, but⊠Iâm not the one for you. Please find someone your age. Iâm sorry.â After saying that, she strode straight for the car⊠but before she could start the engine, she couldnât help but notice how desolate he looked standing under the pouring rain⊠Clenching her fists, it took her a while to finally sigh and walk back to him⊠ââŠAre you really sure about this?â asked Yulia, much to Elliotâs delight. âI am! Please! Give me a chance! You wonât regret it!â âŠWhen he put it that way, all Yulia could do was help him up before finally deciding to return his kiss⊠Sure, things had taken a sudden, unex
She stared in horror as he removed his shirt right there and then! âW-what are you doing?!â yelped the startled woman as she quickly looked the other way. ââŠHuh? I mean, Iâm drenched, soâŠâ âE-even so, you shouldnât change right in front of me!â ââŠYulia, we bathed together as children⊠Itâs not like you havenât seen everything alreadyâŠâ âY-you canât compare that to this situationâŠ!â âFine, fine, I⊠Um⊠Go cook, I guess⊠Iâll go get a change upstairs firstâŠâ muttered Elliot as he headed upstairs. Yulia herself had to try her best to calm down! After all, Elliot had been plaguing her mind in the past few days, and⊠she even had dreams where he had⊠âŠNo! She couldnât be thinking about such things! She needed to cook! Maybe that would help get her mind out of the gutter! Once that was done, sheâd leave and finally start devising a plan to get rid of himâŠ! As Yulia scurried off, Elliot himself was currently staring at an old photo that showed him eating some candy in Yuliaâ
Just as she had arrived at her car, the president of the Halls Group suddenly walked up to her, a bouquet in hand! The Halls Group had collaborated several times with the Burtons before, and because of that, she was well acquainted with the man. Sadly, he had also proposed to her on multiple occasions⊠and though she kept rejecting him, he never seemed to get the hint! âThere you are, Miss Burton⊠Since youâre off work, I was wondering if youâd join me for dinner tonightâŠâ asked the charming man. Feeling awkward, she was just about to come up with an excuse when Elliot suddenly grabbed her by the waist and said, âOh? Another one of your admirers, YuliaâŠ? Sorry, but she already has a boyfriend, my man. If that doesnât deter you enough, then you should know that she prefers her partners younger. Now please leave.â Startled to hear that, the man glanced at Yulia, his eyes begging for an explanation⊠Yulia herself was eager to just escape this embarrassing situation, but before s
With that tale done, it was now time to return to Yuliaâs story⊠Ever since she was a child, she had undergone countless hardships with her mother⊠and even after she was able to reunite with her father, things didnât go much easier from there. To make matters worse, Fabiola ended up getting kidnapped for the longest time, resulting in Frank ending up the way he was today⊠Because of all that, it only made sense that sheâd mature much sooner than others her age, and unlike the naĂŻve girl she used to be, she was an extremely competent woman today. Alas, because of how used she became with working, she soon lost the urge to find herself a romantic interest⊠Things continued that way until⊠Well, that time that Elliot⊠âŠWait, what was she thinking?! He was younger than her, for heavenâs sake! Quickly shaking her head, she attempted to force herself to concentrate on work again⊠But before long, a knock was heard on the door. After being allowed in, the department manager entered t
Knowing that there was no point in keeping things a secret anymore, Rea took a deep breath before saying, ââŠAlright, so⊠The truth is, Iâve always been highly competent, but⊠Iâve been pretending to be useless just so that youâd eventually marry me⊠The trip my parents are taking⊠That was my suggestion tooâŠâ Feeling speechless, it took Frank a long while to reply, ââŠSo you werenât really drunk when you did all that last night?â Pursing her lips, Rea awkwardly muttered, ââŠI wasnât⊠Luna suggested it, and since it sounded like a good idea to accelerate thingsâŠâ âŠFucking hell, to think that he had fallen straight into her trap without even putting up a fight! Watching as he glowered at her, Rea gulped before adding, âA-anyway, now that weâre married and thereâs potentially a baby in my belly, you wonât divorce me, rightâŠ?â ââŠOh, believe me when I say that divorce is the easy way out! From today onward, Iâm making you pay for your actions for the rest of your life!â Fast forwa
Fast forward to the next morning, Rea awoke with a yawn⊠What a nice sleep⊠Wait. Why was she naked? And why was FrankâŠ?! Her following scream immediately woke the icy man up⊠and upon looking at her, he was immediately reminded of what had transpired last night! Essentially, Rea ended up clinging to him, and though he initially wanted to just carry her to bed to let her rest⊠Damn it! Had she really been that sensual?! How had he lost control so easily?! His train of thought was cut short when he realized that Rea was bawling her eyes out⊠and after rubbing his temples, he was prompted to say, ââŠWhy are you crying when youâre the one who initiated this? Iâll have you know that I never forced you-â âI-I know, butâŠ! Iâve justâŠ! This is my first timeâŠ!â whimpered the quivering woman, prompting Frank to purse his lips. As if he wasnât in the same situation⊠ââŠYouâre not alone there.â âItâs not the same! Men are free to sleep with whoever they want but when it comes to women, Iâl
âSay, wouldnât you agree that the food smells deliciousâŠ? Why donât I teach you how to grill, ReaâŠ? Oh, but make sure to take your clothes off first before we start! Wouldnât want them to get dirtyâŠâ With how drunk Rea was, she wasnât able to fully register his words⊠and just as he was about to touch her clothes, an icy voice roared, âStop right thereâŠ!â Instantly feeling a shiver run down his spine, the man turned around⊠and to his horror, it was Frank! Young Master Burtonâs perpetually icy sonâŠ! Why the hell was he here?! Before the frightened intern could think of how to even react, Frank walked up to him and growled, âLeave now before I chop your hands offâŠ! Donât make me repeat myself!â Nodding in terror, the man frantically bolted off⊠and once he was out of sight, Frank glared at the tipsy Rea before adding, âThis is what you meant by learning how to be more responsibleâŠ?!â âHuhâŠ? But the food really did smell super good⊠I want to learnâŠâ mumbled the drunk woman.
After leaving his office, he headed off to look for Rea. She had said that she wanted to use the bathroom, but⊠It had already been half an hour since she disappeared. What trouble had that idiot gotten herself into this time? Thankfully, it wasnât long before he found her laughing along with some of his interns⊠When the interns saw him, they were quick to bow and say, âGood morning, Mr. Burton.â Barely even glancing at them, Frank looked at Rea and said, âItâs time to head home.â âI⊠Wonât be following you backâŠâ ââŠAnd why is that? Are your parents back?â âNo, itâs just⊠These are my good friends back from school, and theyâve been staying together to learn to be more independent⊠With that said⊠I think that staying with them will be a good start for me to learn more about how the world works. Thank you for taking care of me up till this point, Frank⊠I wonât bother you anymore.â Raising a slight brow, Frank then looked at the interns for a while before saying, ââŠAre you
Regardless, after leaving her in the room, Frank returned to the shower to cool himself off⊠but no matter what he did, he simply remained irked. It got to the point where he couldnât relax at all, and after wrapping a towel around his waist, he grabbed his phone to send his father a text. âWas there really nobody else who couldâve taken care of Rea?â âWhat? Canât even care for a woman properly.â âIâm a busy man.â âI trust in your time management skills.â âŠThough he really wanted to tell Zivon that he had misplaced his trust in him, he didnât want to disappoint his father either. With that, all he could do was clench his fists before giving Reaâs parents a call⊠âHello? Frank? Why are you calling at this time of night?â ââŠWhen are you and Uncle Saltman returning, Aunt?â asked Frank who wanted them to take back their idiot already! ââŠHuh? What was that? Sorry, the line isnât very good⊠I hope Rea isnât giving you too hard a time! Donât worry, weâll be back after about a
