Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
About one o’clock in the afternoon, Luna finally returned to the mansion.
She was just about to enter the mansion with her bag when the butler walked over first and said, “Madam, Master Alexander is home.”
Luna was quite surprised and said, “Didn’t he say that he won’t be coming back during the day?”
The butler gave her a torn expression, but eventually said, “Master Alexander seems to be quite annoyed about something. You should be careful with the way you speak with him later, Madam.”
Luna nodded. Had something happened in the company that made him annoyed?
If that was the case, all she needed to do was to hide in her room.
She could hide if she couldn’t face him.
Once she entered the mansion, Alexander was indeed sitting there with an icy expression on his face. Even without the air conditioner, the room seemed to be several degrees colder already.
“You’re home!” Luna greeted him simply, “Have you eaten?”
Alexander’s eyes were fixed on her and he said, “You. Come here.”
Luna suddenly felt a chill down her spine as she found herself walking over to him automatically.
When she eventually ended up standing right in front of him, only then did she regain her senses.
What happened to her? Why was she suddenly in his arms? Was she hypnotized?
“You. Today. Where did you go? What did you do? Hm?” Alexander’s arms wrapped around her waist. His warmth penetrated the thin layer of linen and touched her skin. It was like electrocution, and she could feel that she was instantly electrocuted.
“No- Nothing!” That was the first time that Luna stuttered. “I was just getting bored, so I went out shopping…”
Alexander then looked right into her eyes. Did you also buy a house, hm?”
This woman had bought assets without telling him. What did she mean by this?
When he found out about this, he was very angry. He even pushed everything in the afternoon to tomorrow and immediately drove back home.
Luna’s smile froze. “How, how did you know?”
“Your card is bound to my phone. I can see all your expenses,” Alexander stroked her face with his hand. “You better give me an explanation. I don’t like to be left in the dark.”
Luna was once again stunned. How had she forgotten a small detail like this?
It was just as she had thought. She hadn’t been on any missions so her cognition skill was getting worse.
“About that, you know I had nothing when I left the Brookes. I don’t feel safe at all,” Luna said very honestly. “I want my own house, so no matter what happens, I would have a place to call home.”
Alexander’s eyes became narrow and he asked, “So, you don’t trust me at all?
“Um…”
‘You can put it that way?’
“Why do you choose not to believe me, hm?” Alexander’s fingers on her waist slowly climbed up until they reached around two inches below the armpit. “What did I do wrong?”
His voice was very gentle, but his expression was very cold.
However, Luna suddenly felt like Alexander was still very handsome even when he was angry.
“No, you did well,” This was the first time that Luna felt completely helpless. “It’s just that I’m used to doing multiple preparations so that I won’t end up like I once was.”
Alexander frowned. “With me here, l promise that day would never come.”
He would give the best things in this world to his woman for sure.
Luna gave it a thought and didn’t tell him the real reason. “Alright. I won’t do that anymore. Please don’t be angry?”
Since she had already bought the house, and her name was on it, even if Alexander and Chantelle rekindled their old love, she wouldn’t end up being homeless at least.
Alexander looked at her elegant face and said, “No, I’m still very angry. That’s why I must punish you.” After he said that, Alexander suddenly picked her up horizontally and walked up the stairs.
“What are you doing? Let me down!”
Luna suddenly became very nervous. She wanted to wiggle her way out, but she stopped doing it after Alexander said, “I won’t do anything to you. But if you move some more, your new house would not be yours anymore.”
Luna didn’t dare to move anymore. She could only use her words to persuade him, “I just didn’t feel secure. I bought that house so that I can feel better. Please don’t get angry, okay?”
Alexander didn’t say anything, and his face remained expressionless.
“It’s my fault, my fault. You don’t have to get angry and torture yourself. Please don’t be that way, alright?”
Alexander closed the door and Luna was thrown onto the bed in the next moment.
Before she could resist, Alexander had already gotten close to her on the bed.
He then caught her hands and said, “Don’t move.”
There were flames in his eyes, and his voice was low and gentle. “Have you forgotten your promise to me?”
Luna shook her head instinctively as she wasn’t sure what he wanted to say.
“You said that you would tell me before you do anything, right? Did you tell me this time?”
Luna suddenly realized why he was angry, and immediately surrendered. “I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. I didn’t think things through, so please don’t get angry.”
Her eyes were twinkling like that of a fawn’s. Alexander couldn’t stop himself and kissed her. “No, I’m still angry. What are you going to do about it?”
His voice was too mesmerizing, and that face was too beautiful. Luna was drowning in his kisses. And when his lips touched hers, her heart began to throb faster.
“I won’t leave you. You don’t have to feel insecure.”
His voice was very emotional, and it kept on echoing within her ears like magic.
He slowly tasted her lips, and then bit it for revenge. “Alright?”
“Ouch!” Luna felt the pain. “…Alright.”
Only then did Alexander let out a faint smile and hug her in his arms once again, and gave her another deep kiss.
She felt her heart beating like a drum. She had never felt like this.
“Mm…”
Her breathing slowly became shorter and shorter, to the point that it was louder than Alexander’s panting.
“What? Is that it?” Alexander suddenly let go of her hands and looked at her blushing face teasingly.
Luna sat up anxiously and said, “You… You did it on purpose.”
Alexander looked at her as he turned to his side while using his hand to support his head and said, “Right. I did it on purpose. And?”
Luna realized that no matter how she answered this question, the answer was going to be somewhat weird either way!
“If I realize that you don’t trust me like this again, it won’t end this easily,” His eyes slowly trailed down, and her face became even redder.
“You rascal!” Luna said, unable to stop herself.
“Is it?” Alexander sat up as well, “I’ll give you one more chance to restructure your sentence.”
Looking at his eyes filled with desire, Luna surrendered immediately and said, “I- I’m the rascal, alright?!”
Alexander said, “You’re not willing?”
“… Nope. It’s a hallucination, everything’s a hallucination!” Luna quickly escaped from the bed. “Have a good rest, I’ll go back first.”
Alexander didn’t say anything, which meant he allowed it.
Luna escaped back into her own room. That man was so difficult!
She almost fell for him..
