Semua Bab You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone: Bab 341 - Bab 350

Lucian didn't make his way out because Calista was already heading toward the mansion from the garden. Although Hugo wasn't with her, his gaze was fixated on Calista. As a man, Lucian could tell at first glance that he looked at her differently.Narrowing his eyes, Lucian was visibly unpleasant. He was enduring every single second as he waited for her to walk over.He closed his eyes, only managing to suppress his raging agitation when she finally entered the mansion. He had to beware of her childhood sweetheart, her high school friend, and now there's another man who's almost dying. His brain was wrecked at the thought of it. Calista saw Lucian as soon as she entered. The food on the table remained as they were before she went out. "Why are you standing here? Didn't you eat?""Was it a great chat?" asked Lucian in a resentful manner. "It's alright," Calista replied.She wasn't sure what he was up to again, but she couldn't bother to argue with him. Without giving much

Calista was at a loss for words.The car's heating system was set to a temperature that was just right for Calista, who was sensitive to the cold. But, it was a little too warm for Lucian, prompting him to loosen his tie.Of course, when a handsome, well-built man did that, it appeared exceptionally seductive and a sight for sore eyes.His fingers rested on the dark tie. The digits were slender and well-proportioned, resembling a finely crafted work of art.Calista didn't consider herself fascinated by hands. But, she found herself unable to look away from the sight. The discomfort she felt after reading the diary seemed to ease.Just as she was entranced by his charms, Lucian leaned down to kiss her.The man, who had restrained himself for days, was now no different from a beast that had been starved for years. The kiss was so intense that Calista couldn't resist at all. He stole her breath away.She tilted her head back in an attempt to avoid him. Only, Lucian wasn't going to

The melancholic atmosphere vanished in an instant. Calista massaged her temples in disbelief. She shot a sidelong glance at Hector."Weren't you leaving? Do you have to run your mouth? Are you that eager to remain bedridden for the next month?"Hector lowered his voice and replied, "You don't understand. Men are egoists. The more unattainable something is, the more they want it for themselves. Once they have what they want, they will no longer feel challenged. Once things start getting stale, they would seek excitement from other women. You need to keep him on edge. Make him believe you have countless other men who want you even without him. That's how you keep him wrapped around your finger."Calista scoffed and shot him a withering stare. Most people would insult others but Hector was insulting himself too. Lucian's eyes passed over them.Hector and Calista stood on the steps, bathed in twilight. The radiant glow seemed to meld the pair together.An attractive man and a beautifu

Lucian buried his face into Calista's shoulder as he pressed his warm body up against hers. His fingers ran through her hair and brushed against her scalp.He held the woman by her slender waist with his other hand. The tingling sensation sent shivers down Calista's spine. The man's husky voice sounded in her ear."Let's try what you brought up last time."She was puzzled. What had she said the last time around?Calista couldn't remember. She couldn't spare her mental capacity to recall what had been said at a time like this. However, she vaguely understood what Lucian meant."I don't …"She didn't know why she was refusing when her body was responding. Her mind went blank from the mental shock she received. All her answers and reactions were based on instinct.Before she could utter her refusal, Lucian grabbed her and held her down to the bed.He knelt on the edge of the bed on one knee as he stared down at her. The dark eyes fixated on her were roiling with tides of darkness.

There was no need to rehash what they already knew. So, Calista shook her head."Work-related matters. Let's go."She stroked her belly. She was just about to say she was hungry but stopped herself before the words left her.She instead said, "We haven't had dinner yet."To someone like Lucian, whose mind was filled with perverse thoughts, the phrase "I'm hungry" held a suggestive meaning.Elizabeth had been acting so secretively that she had taken Calista aside just to speak with her. It had nothing to do with work.But Calista didn't seem keen to share. Despite Lucian's displeasure, he didn't press for answers. He was still a boyfriend on a trial run. He had no right to meddle in her affairs."Let's go. What do you feel like eating?" He couldn't care less about the food. He was focused solely on Calista's hand that hung limp by her side. He couldn't help but want to hold her hand.He recalled how quickly she withdrew her hand back into the ward. However, she had already w
