Anna Thornton’s second request really put President Sterling in a bind.
"I have a lot of secrets. Which one do you want to know?"
"Then tell ... why were you so determined to marry Marilyn Ford before?" Anna asked curiously. "Were you just eager to be the Ford Family’s son-in-law?"
Conrad Sterling gazed deeply at her and answered seriously, "I don’t want to!"
"Then what were you thinking?"
"I want them dead!"
"Do you hate the Ford Family that much? Did you marry Marilyn just to harm them? Or is your target not just the Ford Family?... How do you plan to make them die? By the way, I’m really curious, what grudge do you have against them?"
As Anna Thornton asked a series of questions, she held her phone, hidden under the blanket with the recording function turned on.
"You want to know so much. I can’t finish talking tonight."
Conrad Sterling, despite being overwheld with lust at the mont, didn’t beco foolish: "My secrets, my past, you’ll have the opportunity to know once you beco my woman."
"Co on." Anna replied unwillingly, "Saying this little... do you think it’s enough to make offer myself to you tonight?"
"I’ll let you ask one last question."
"Then I want to know, since you approached Marilyn Ford with a purpose, why did you suddenly give up now that it’s almost accomplished? Why not marry her anymore?"
"Because of you!"
Upon hearing Conrad’s response, Anna Thornton wanted to slap herself.
She wasted a chance to ask questions!
Unfortunately, there’s no option to retract this ssage!
Who would’ve thought, Anna Thornton avoided Finn Grant’s proposal today, only to receive a confession from Conrad Sterling.
Life’s twists and turns are truly beyond words.
While Anna Thornton was contemplating whether her day overall counted as a rise or fall, Conrad Sterling, the lecherous wolf, didn’t give her a chance to refuse, and tore away the bath towel on Anna Thornton’s body.
"Hey, wait!" Anna tried to dive into the quilt, "I want to take a shower!"
Conrad Sterling wouldn’t let her escape: "You’ve already showered."
"Then you go shower! I’ll wait outside, and anwhile, let have a sip of wine to muster courage."
"Why so many requests? Don’t tell , you’re shy!"
Seeing Conrad’s disbelief, Anna didn’t back down: "Shyness is every woman’s right, why can’t I be shy? Besides, it’s been a while for , I’m a bit rusty."
Hearing her say this, Conrad Sterling’s eyes flashed: "How long?"
"If you want to know, go shower first, once you’re clean I’ll tell you!"
Conrad Sterling was in a state where waiting even a second was torture!
But for once he conceded to Anna Thornton, got up, and went to the bathroom to shower.
The sound of the shower started up in the bathroom not long before Anna Thornton climbed out of bed and picked up her bath towel.
She poured a glass of red wine, sat down, and just took a sip while closely examining the diamond ring on her ring finger.
A billion-dollar diamond! Under the light, it glimred so brightly it could blind one’s eyes!
But wasn’t this ring initially made for Conrad Sterling to propose to Marilyn Ford?
Why does Anna feel it’s perfectly suited for her?
Just as she was puzzling over this, she heard Conrad calling her from the bathroom.
"Anna, pass the towel."
"Ah? Oh."
Anna picked up a towel and walked to the bathroom door, but didn’t hurry to pass it in.
Taking advantage of the small opening in the bathroom door, she first slipped in her phone with the cara function on.
Once bitten, twice shy; she was still worried this man would eat and wipe his mouth clean like four years ago.
Afraid of not having enough leverage, Anna decided to simply take a picture of Conrad Sterling in the nude.
If this man pulls up his pants and denies her, she’d use this as evidence.
Anna just envisioned spreading Conrad Sterling’s nude widely when suddenly, a big wet hand grabbed her wrist.
Without a chance to resist, she was pulled into the bathroom, towel and all!
"Conrad Sterling, what are you doing? Let go!"
"We agreed to start after showering. I don’t want to shower with you..."
"You shaless! Ugh..."
The next morning —
The morning sun peeked from outside the window, first discovering the ambiguous marks scattered around the room.
Evidently, the battle last night was fierce; from the bathroom to the bed...
Even when Anna Thornton got up thirsty to get so water, she was caught by the "lingering poison" of a man who thought she was trying to sneak away and was taught a lesson.
Conrad Sterling really is a world-class scoundrel!
During the day, he’s well-dressed, his shirt buttoned all the way up, making people think he’s so abstinent.
Actually, these are all facades to cover up the beastly scent in his bones.
Anna Thornton barely made it to morning, exhausted and sleepy yet not daring to close her eyes.
"Regarding getting the certificate, you won’t back out today, right?"
Hearing the little woman’s hoarse voice, a hint of affection flashed across Conrad’s eyes: "Relax, I will do as I promised! As soon as the civil affairs bureau opens, we’ll get the certificate, but it’s not ti yet, you can sleep for a while."
Since she was allowed to sleep, Anna slapped away his restless hand, turned over, and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.
But in the next second, the quilt was lifted and replaced with the man’s body.
Conrad pulled Anna tightly into his embrace, buried his face in the scent of the woman’s neck, seemingly unsatisfied, forcing Anna to turn and face him.
"Enough, is there any dicine with such lasting effects? I want to sleep! If you’re not satisfied, resolve it yourself!"
Anna, uncomfortable being held in his arms, tried to break free but was pressed down by Conrad.
However, the man didn’t take further action.
Conrad watched her close her eyes and sleep, brows furrowed with fatigue.
When no one was watching, President Sterling curled his lips in a smile warr than the sumr morning light.
Then he closed his eyes and took a short nap too.
Anna awoke startled, imdiately sitting up from bed.
But beside her, there was no trace of Conrad Sterling.
Panicked, she imdiately got off the bed to look, and just then, Conrad Sterling erged from the bathroom.
The man had a towel wrapped around his waist, his hair still dripping, not bothering to dry it, likely hearing Anna Thornton wake up.
"I didn’t leave."
Conrad’s words made Anna Thornton relax, only to realize her soreness.
Anna kicked off her slippers, collapsed back onto the bed, examining Conrad Sterling freshly showered, with lingering moisture over his body, her eyes traveled every inch over his elegantly proportioned muscles.
Conrad was indifferent to her gaze, allowing her to look as she pleased.
The man was drying his hair with his back to Anna Thornton, arms slightly raised, the nearby muscles taut with a solid beauty that mingled desire and restraint, truly exquisite!
"Conrad Sterling, I’ve been wondering about sothing."
"Hmm?"
Conrad turned off the hair dryer, intently listening to her speak.
Who’d have thought, Anna asked: "How often do you do it with Marilyn Ford?"
ntioning Marilyn Ford at this mont made Conrad’s expression instantly darken: "What do you want to know?"
"I’m just curious, has Marilyn Ford never satisfied you?"
Anna was referring to Conrad’s desperate wolf-like behavior last night; he acted like he hadn’t had at in centuries.
"I’ve identified the strange energy between you two; Miss Ford is a tender flower that can’t withstand destruction, how could she endure you? I think your style is more suited to May Yuille! If it was her you t last night, a match made in heaven would certainly..."
"Anna Thornton!" Conrad’s face turned completely cold, "The person who slept with last night was you. Is your mory not clear enough? Do you want a replay?"
Saying this, Conrad tossed away the towel in his hand, moving towards her, just approaching the bed, Anna imdiately chickened out: "I was just joking, don’t take it seriously!"
Seeing the little woman’s alerted expression, she was truly scared.
Conrad’s brow loosened, answering her question: "I haven’t been with Marilyn Ford."
