"YOU ARE A SEDUCER, JOSHUA." Joshua chuckled at Clarice's reprimand. He was indeed a flirt, but only with women, which he usually did for the sake of him and her ending up in bed. But this time, the flirting was of course different. He wanted to seduce Clarice to win her love. He wanted her to only see him, not Joel or Tristan. "I flirt because your scent is intoxicating, Clarice. You make me love you like crazy." Clarice tried to restrain herself from saying anything rude to the billionaire who kept flirting with her. Clarice thought, right now Joshua wanted to make love to her so he was teasing her. "Thank you for loving me like that," Clarice said. Joshua poured the red wine into a glass. He had deliberately ordered a glass of red wine with a low alcohol content because he knew that Clarice could not drink too many alcoholic beverages. "Drink while we talk. You can give me your answer." Nervousness instantly rippled through her blood. With only red wine to drink, Clar

"We're up to you because you insisted on marrying that woman," Terry said, resigned. He didn't even mention Clarice's name, but rather 'that woman' which referred to something very bad, showing that Terry really didn't want to have a daughter-in-law like her. Clarice’s throat constricted, wanting to cry. Clarice felt unappreciated in that house, and she wanted to go home and complain to whoever she could find. But she realized that she had no one but Tristan and Joshua. Ah, Tristan didn't even count, until she realized again that Joshua was the only one on her side at the moment. Clarice admitted that, although Joshua's attitude seemed to dominate and control her, he was the one who truly appreciated her and loved her with all his heart for all these years without a single drop. "Terry, I have a name," Clarice said, trying to be brave. She didn't want to be belittled by anyone, even though she might be guilty of Joel's death, but her intentions were noble and she didn't want any

Joshua's touch has become more intense since Clarice became his girlfriend. He didn’t feel embarrassed at all even if he just hugged her or kissed her neck and lips. Perhaps it would have been different if the man was Joel. Sadly, he was now replaced by Joshua, who was bolder and more in control of herself. She looked into the mirror at Joshua who was still hugging her from behind, kissing her neck. "I can't use your money," Clarice said, replying. "Why not?" "Doesn't that mean I'm a material woman?" "I don't care, Baby. Ah– why do you smell so good? Are you wearing a lot of perfume on purpose to tease me?" Clarice felt nervous. She had never felt like seducing someone just by wearing perfume. But it was her habit to spray perfume on certain spots on her body. "Th–this is a normal thing to do! And I'm not teasing you!" protested Clarice. Joshua quickly turned Clarice around. He looked at her closely and inhaled the scent that he could smell from Clarice's body, which was so clos

His meeting with his mother did not make him feel completely fine. Even though Terry had left, he was still in a bad mood. It took him a few hours in his office to calm down until he had calmed down enough to start feeling hungry. His high emotions often made him feel hungry, so much so that he even had to look for a restaurant that could serve the menu he wanted. Unfortunately, Joshua didn’t even have a chef that he can rely on, except for Clarice. Even though Clarice wasn't a chef, Joshua recognized how good his girlfriend's cooking was a long time ago, a long time before Clarice became his girlfriend. And even now, it wasn't until this morning that he felt her cooking, in person in front of him, was good again. "That means I should call her and bring her home to cook something for me," he said, mulling over the idea. But Joshua already had an inkling that Clarice would be annoyed at him for interrupting her work just to cook for him. And he knew that what Clarice wanted was to a

Clarice bit her lip. She really didn't know that her question wasn't about Joshua's personality, but about what she was really curious about. But like it or not, damn– what Joshua said was right, that she was curious. She wanted to know about Joshua's experience and she also didn't realize the part about his sexual activity.Damn! He must think that I'm a pervert! Her mind, speaking.Meanwhile, Joshua, who was still holding Clarice on his lap, smiled at the expression on his woman's face. He again won the situation that could make Clarice shut up with a blush that could not make him hold back the turmoil of love."But, do you mind if you tell me about it?" Clarice asked."I don't mind. But not in a place like this."Clarice swallowed. "Then, where?""Where it's just the two of us. Well, I want you to eat first since you already fed me."Joshua easily put Clarice down, leaving Clarice with a gasp of surprise and a heart that was beating hard again. She sat back in her chair, trying to
