Chapter 473: 471 Compensation, the greener the more provocative (2 updates)
Michael Shaw couldn’t believe it, he was already blocking the door and still hadn’t seen anyone.
He simply crossed his arms and waited in the hallway. The bodyguards had no choice but couldn’t forcibly remove him.
This Shaw Family young master…
So shaless.
He said no eting, and yet he still wouldn’t leave.
Whether or not he could beco a business partner, he didn’t care, but being repeatedly rejected made him feel very frustrated. Michael Shaw wasn’t a fool, he could clearly see that the young master of this family seed to harbor great hostility toward him.
He thought it over and over, the two families had no dealings, no intersection, when did he ever offend him?
In the end, he was inford that the person had already left!
Michael Shaw was annoyed and feeling defeated, he turned back to the private room to continue dining, only to find the table had been cleaned up.
“Where are the people in this room?” Michael Shaw was stunned.
“Junior President Payne and his girlfriend have already left.” The staff replied.
“I haven’t eaten yet!”
“…”
This couldn’t be blad on Tim Payne. He waited for a long ti for him to not return, didn’t answer calls, didn’t reply to ssages. Recently, Cressida Jones was very tired, he needed to take his girlfriend ho early to rest, naturally he couldn’t take care of him.
When he stord to the parking lot in anger, he unexpectedly saw the bodyguard of that family escorting two people into the car.
Michael Shaw laughed,
Even if it’s a fated misfortune, it’s still fate, bitter fruit is still fruit.
Didn’t it just let him have an encounter!
He squinted his eyes, observing from a distance. This young master was not quite what he expected, he wasn’t tall, just a little over 170 cm, very thin, followed by a fashionable woman.
Vaguely seeing a side face…
Couldn’t see very clearly,
But seed to be excessively delicate!
If talking about facial features, even looked better than the woman beside him, and his skin was very fair.
Even,
Didn’t look like a man!
Is this the young master of that family?
If he rashly went up, what if he found the wrong person?
Michael Shaw found it curious because he had been investigating for so long without even finding a single photo. At this mont, he didn’t dare approach, just a few seconds of hesitation and the person was already in the car and left.
He was frustrated, venting in the group.
[He said what? Zodiac clash, birthdates incompatible? Laugh to death.]
[Even divination? Seems like he really despises you.]
Michael Shaw was speechless: [I’m talking business, not dating, what’s the need for matching birthdates?]
[I seriously suspect you’ve offended him before.]
[Definitely, otherwise, out of respect for the Shaw Family, even if you couldn’t beco business partners, they shouldn’t treat you like this.]
William Hale: [Agreed.]
Michael Shaw was exasperated, damn agreeing, [By the way, have any of you seen what he looks like?]
The group instantly fell silent.
Later, Michael Shaw accused in the group again, saying that Tim Payne wouldn’t care about him, leaving him alone without eating and running off.
William Hale was speechless: [The young couple rarely get to eat together, you going to join the fun, it’s good they didn’t throw you out of the car.]
He recalled Valentine’s Day a few days ago when Zoe was suffering from severe morning sickness, he decided to cook a al at ho.
As a result, Michael Shaw was still hanging around the Hale Family, and wanted to join in, claiming to help.
In the end…
He nearly blew up their kitchen.
Even triggered the smoke alarm, activating the sprinklers.
When Zoe heard the noise and entered the kitchen, seeing the ss, water all over the floor, she frowned and said, “Are you two preparing to raise fish at ho?”
The most speechless part for William Hale was still to co.
Zoe had no appetite, she ate a few bites and vomited it all, so the carefully prepared candlelight dinner ended up in Michael Shaw’s stomach.
He even comnted, “I like heavy flavors, adding a bit more salt would be better.”
That night, he was tied up by William Hale and sent back to the Shaw Family.
**
anwhile, Tim Payne and Cressida Jones hadn’t had a al alone in a long ti. She was entirely focused on her grandmother’s surgery, as her boyfriend, naturally, he had to be understanding, so even intimate gestures were rare.
“Thank you for sending back, I need to take a shower and rest now.” Cressida Jones was exhausted, “You should go back.”
Tim Payne nodded in agreent.
Cressida Jones was so tired, she took a simple shower, dried her hair, and fell asleep quickly, vaguely recalling the conversation between Tim Payne and Martin Yates…
In a daze, she actually dread of Tim Payne bringing a woman ho.
Dread of them getting married,
Soone bringing children to the door.
She walked the sa old path her mother did.
When she woke up, it was just after six in the morning, she rubbed her temples, feeling dry-mouthed, got up to get so water.
By this ti, the sky was already bright, as she passed the living room, she imdiately saw soone sitting on the sofa, her breath hitched, and she stared in surprise.
Tim Payne was still wearing yesterday’s clothes, with a few pages of unused draft paper from her ho on the coffee table, sketching designs, drawing and redrawing, seemingly dissatisfied, and fell asleep leaning on the sofa.
He didn’t leave last night?
Cressida Jones felt a stir in her heart, she quietly fetched a blanket from the room, covered him up, and started tidying up the sketches on the coffee table.
Because her back was turned to him, she had no idea Tim Payne had already opened his eyes, only feeling a tightness at her waist, and she was suddenly pulled onto Tim Payne’s lap.
Instinctively struggling, twisting…
After a few seconds,
She didn’t dare to move anymore.
Her face flushed crimson, blood rushing through her body, a wave of heat brushing against her ear, biting her earlobe and whispering, “Don’t move anymore.”
If you move again,
Sothing is really going to happen.
“You…” Cressida Jones stiffened, completely at a loss.
“Just a hug, it’ll be fine in a mont.” Tim Payne had just woken up, his voice even deeper than usual, his breath slipping past her ear, landing a gentle kiss on her neck.
The heat from his lips was astonishing, making her shiver.
“Did I do sothing wrong recently?” Tim Payne adjusted his position, their eyes eting.
Cressida Jones was startled.
She didn’t expect Tim Payne to be so perceptive, but the surprise in her eyes was quickly captured by him.
“So there is sothing.” Tim Payne was previously suspicious, now he was certain.
“I wanted to ask you long ago, but Grandma was having surgery, and you were all focused on her, so I didn’t ask. Can you tell now, what exactly happened?”
Even if Tim Payne brought soone ho, it was before they started dating.
Cressida Jones cared, but couldn’t chase after his past.
Tim Payne was very smart.
He had been pondering a lot lately, he noticed Cressida Jones’s attitude towards him subtly changed after her uncle visited the hospital.
So…
She didn’t say anything, so he spoke first, “Did you hear my conversation with my uncle last ti?”
Cressida Jones didn’t deny it, nodding her head slightly.
Tim Payne laughed softly, “So, are you jealous?”
“I’m not.” Cressida Jones gritted her teeth, trying to get up, but was pressed back down by Tim Payne.
“You may have forgotten, once when I was drunk, you ca to my apartnt and were so scared by the falco rusticolus that your face turned white, and you hugged …”
How could Cressida Jones forget? At his reminder, she rembered clearly.
“That ti, you sared lipstick on my clothes, my uncle was staying at my apartnt then, he saw it the next day but didn’t say anything.”
Tim Payne spoke, pulling out a box from his pocket.
Inside, there was a pair of sakura-shaped earrings, adorned with diamonds, small and elegant.
He took out the earrings and helped her put them on.
The movents were very gentle and ticulous.
“My uncle moved out because he thought I brought a girl ho and didn’t want to disturb . Now he misunderstands that I’m being unfaithful. I explained, but he wouldn’t listen.”
“You probably don’t know, because of you, my image in front of my uncle has plumted, I’m just a scumbag to him now.”
Cressida Jones froze for a few seconds after hearing this.
“So, the lipstick mark… was left by ?”
“I’ve told you before, but you seem to have forgotten.” Tim Payne had already helped her with the earrings.
The earring felt cool, and he lowered his head, kissing the petals delicately.
The heat from his lips, burned her ears, his deep voice penetrated into her heart: “Cressida, I said…”
“Only you!”
“It’s always been only you.”
“No one else.”
Cressida Jones was remorseful, “I misunderstood you.”
“Compensation.”
“Hmm?”
“Don’t you intend to compensate a little?”
Looking at him, Cressida Jones hesitated, then reached out, wrapped her arms around his neck, leaned in, and kissed him lightly.
He didn’t respond.
This made her frown slightly, was it not enough?
She tried, mimicking how Tim Payne usually treated her, when he still didn’t respond, she felt a bit defeated, her face already flushed.
Truth be told, she wasn’t really good at it.
After all, ever since they got together, it was always Tim Payne taking the initiative, she had never done anything like this.
Her innocence and awkwardness,
Just made her more alluring.
As she was about to withdraw,
The next second, unexpectedly,
Her waist was held tightly, his kiss, intense and domineering.
The heat from his lips,
Scorching.
Her legs felt weak, but sitting on his lap, it was manageable, her hands hung around his neck. When the kiss ended, she just lay on his shoulder, breathing lightly.
Tim Payne lowered his head, gently nibbling her neck, “If sothing like this happens again, just co in and ask directly, you have a mouth, you should use it when you have questions, not bottle them up.”
He spoke, his breath landing on her neck, heat dispersing.
“Got it.”
“If you misunderstand again, this compensation won’t be enough.”
“Then what do you want as compensation?”
Tim Payne’s fingers lightly stroked her neck, his gaze intense, their eyes eting, his eyes seed to be tinged with a layer of heat.
Close enough, their breaths intertwined, the warmth growing wildly.
He lowered his head and kissed her,
Breath intertwined,
Gentle. Grind,
Deep. Taste,
She was pressed onto the sofa, the blanket that had been covering Tim Payne’s body long since fallen to the ground.
“Why the sudden gift?” Cressida Jones pointed, naturally referring to the earrings.
“Valentine’s Day gift.” Tim Payne stroked her earrings, “Very beautiful, suits you.”
On Valentine’s Day, she was still in the hospital, all her thoughts were on her grandmother, so she didn’t prepare a gift for him, “I didn’t prepare a gift for you, I’ll make it up to you later.”
“Okay, I’ll wait.”
“Then you…” Cressida Jones bit her lip, “Can you get off now.”
He was pressing down on her so much that she couldn’t breathe.
