Upon arriving at the parking lot, Zachary suggested going to a fitness center near her residential area to play badminton to make it easier for her to get home afterward. At the same time, he joined her in the passenger seat for the journey.
Despite agreeing to his suggestion, Janelle was somewhat restless as she drove.
Zachary noticed she was out of sorts and asked, “What’s on your mind?”
“Nothing” Feigning nonchalance, she continued, “It’s such a coincidence to run into your uncle tonight.”
Zachary cleared his throat. “The restaurant owner is his friend, to begin with. He usually entertains foreign businessmen there, so running into him there is perfectly normal.”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but lean a bit closer to Janelle, saying contentedly. “Uncle Drayton is always on my side, especially regarding finding a girlfriend. No matter what kind of girl I choose, he’ll approve. Once he does, my grandma will have to, 100. My parents‘ objections are futile. Ha!”
Faced with his radiant face, Janelle couldn’t help but recall the myriad of details that had transpired between her and Drayton. She felt a certain unease, akin to a guilty conscience.
However, this feeling of unease quickly faded away.
She was no indecisive saint, always clear–headed about what she wanted and aware of what she was doing.
Following that, she spent her usual two hours playing badminton with Zachary at the sports arena. They played so intensely that they were drenched in sweat. She felt every pore of her body incredibly relaxed and her mood significantly lightened.
It wasn’t until nearly ten at night that she finally returned to her residential area.
After parking her car, she entered the elevator and pressed the button for her floor. At that moment, she received another WhatsApp message from Zachary. He texted: Get some rest soon. Let’s meet up tomorrow.
At that moment, the elevator doors had already opened.
While stepping out, she quickly typed a few words on her phone, texting back: Okay. Goodnight.
Unexpectedly, as she lifted her head, ready to walk toward her door, she found a man casually leaning against it His gaze held a cold glint, much like a Grim Reaper.
Janelle was slightly taken aback, yet her heart remained surprisingly calm.
She approached him, her voice laced with playful mockery, “Did you miss me that much, Mr. Quiller! You couldn’t even wait three days before seeking me out?”
The man said nothing, his expression shrouded in a dangerous yet enigmatic silence.
Janelle nudged him gently. “Hey, move over a bit. I need to open the door.”
She calmly pressed her fingerprint to unlock the door, even generously sharing the guest passcode for the fingerprint lock with him. With a playful snort, she continued, “From now on, you can come to my place whenever you want. Feel free to wait for me in bed. You don’t have to stand outside in the cold.”
He had originally planned to endure it for a few more minutes.
However, she always had a knack for igniting his fury with the most casual tone in the shortest time.
He ruthlessly gripped her jaw as soon as he reached out, forcefully pressing her against the door. His gaze was dark and intense, bearing down on her.
“Janelle. I’ve warned you countless times not to provoke him. Why do you insist on going against me? What the h’ll do you want? Are you deliberately playing with fire with me?”

At the thought of her appearing at the restaurant with Zachary earlier that night, flaunting their ambiguous relationship right under his nose, and wearing that tight T–shirt that accentuated her ample chest, bouncing around as she played badminton with Zachary for two hours…
At that moment, a dangerous glint flickered in his gaze. He was genuinely worried that a single impulsive act from him might end her life right then and there!
Faced with his fury, Janelle didn’t even bat an eye. Her beautiful lips were always graced with an invincible, cold smirk.
“Mr. Quiller, you’re hurting me.”
She stared at him with lingering affection, her voice slightly whiny. “Can you not be so agitated? Nothing happened between him and me. This is all just a misunderstanding.
Upon hearing her unconventional statement. Drayton’s irritation froze on his face, and the strength in his hand unknowingly
relaxed.
Janelle reached out and gently patted his check, continuing in a tender yet playful tone. “Don’t worry. I’ve never even touched his hand. I see him only as a kid to play with, so don’t be upset.”
As she spoke, she suddenly rose onto her tiptoes and kissed his lips, assertively making her way in….
