Semua Bab You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone: Bab 301 - Bab 310

Calista stood still. She didn't dare to push Lucian's hand away. She was worried that the loose towel he wrapped around his waist would fall once she struggled away from him.　She was only 25, and the last thing she would crave was a man's naked body. Lucian was taller than she was. As they were in a very intimate position now, when he lowered his head, the water on his chin dripped on her.　It's already May. She's not wearing a lot of clothes, and she could feel the wet clothes glued to her body. Calista hated this feeling.She said reproachfully, "David said you're dying and he can't come right now, so I came. Just in case you end up dead at home."She thought of the housekeeper who quit and remarked in disdain, "You're living in such a horrible place alone, like a lone ghost. If anything happened to you, no one would even know after your body decayed."Lucian smiled, and deep chuckles resonated from his chest as he saw how defiant she was."Was it David who was worried about

Lucian asked with a drawl of someone who just woke up.Calista was startled by his voice. As she regained her senses, she turned and glanced around the room. The interior of the room was familiar to her.She sat up and glanced at her clothes quickly. She was still dressed in the same clothes as yesterday. It's just slightly wrinkled from a night's sleep."How did I—"Calista's words halted as she vaguely remembered falling asleep on the couch yesterday.　　"What time is it now?" She lifted the covers and then got off the bed. "Why didn't you wake me up?"　"I did though."Calista paused as she was getting off the bed. She shot him a suspicious look. Lucian also sat up, exposing his upper body, which was sexy and well-built."You didn't even wake up despite me carrying you from that couch to the bed. Isn't it considered as you not waking up after I tried to wake you up?"　　He grabbed his watch on the bedside table and glanced at the time."It's eight o'clock now."　Calista's ab

It was Vivian who called. And her name saved on Calista's phone indicated their close relationship. Lucian narrowed his eyes slightly as he saw the caller ID, 'Vivi' flickering on the phone screen. Calista couldn't stand his intense glare. As soon as she intended to turn around and answer the call, he grabbed her before she could do so.He remained silent, but his actions screamed, "Answer the call right here.""Hello?"Vivian sounded genuinely worried from the other end of the call."Calista, I've heard that you encountered some trouble at the museum yesterday, right? Is Thomas Jefferson sick? Why did he pester you like a lunatic? Even if you messed up the restoration, he should've talked to you in private first."Given how introverted Calista usually was, she would've fallen for Vivian's seemingly sincere words if she hadn't investigated her beforehand. 　　People tend to be more vulnerable when they feel like they've been wronged. In that state, a simple word of kindness or c

This was a threat and warning.　After Vivian said so, she patted her mouth in a pretentious manner."Oh dear, look at me. I shouldn't have mentioned that. Since you're already divorced from Lucian, then now we no longer have our eyes on the same man, isn't it? "Calista was stunned for a while when she heard his name spoken so intimately by another woman. She didn't respond immediately. Vivian was such a romantic, akin to an innocent girl crushing on someone."Speaking of this, I have quite a connection with Lucian too. I just found out that he studied at our school four years ago. And he was so popular in our school. It's a pity that I was on sick leave at home for a year. Aw, if I knew we'd met now, I would've gone after him that time so it wouldn't have been in vain for four years.""He had a girlfriend at that time. If you won his heart, time wouldn't have been wasted, but you'll be known as a swindler."Vivian clenched her fists tightly. What was wrong with her emotional i

"No way."Calista refused right after he offered. She was so agitated that her voice unintentionally rose several decibels. Lucian pressed on his slightly sore ears and stood up straight."I'm asking you to move in with me so it's easier to protect you. Although the Jacquez family's influence isn't that strong in Capeton, it's a piece of cake for them if they want to do something to you." He continued with a straight face, "And it doesn't mean we have to sleep in the same room if we live together. Besides, even if we sleep in the same room, I can't even get hard. I can't do anything to you despite my urges. So there's no need to worry at all."He just said it bluntly like that regarding something that had to do with a man's ego. He didn't show a single trace of self-consciousness or embarrassment.Calista was unsure whether she should praise him for his bravery or how thick-skinned he was."I think my apartment is completely fine," she retorted."Do you think your apartment is
