Chapter 262: Because I Was Blind
Tristan Sterling heard a noise and turned to see Rachel Royce erging from the bathroom after a shower. She was wearing a set of champagne-colored pajama pants, her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and the bangs on her forehead were damp. Her beautiful eyes were clear and bright, and her fair cheeks were flushed with a rosy hue.
Rachel Royce walked toward lissa’s vanity.
Tristan Sterling asked, "When did you get back?" Rachel said, "An hour ago." Tristan watched as she picked up a bottle of essential oil from the table and began her skincare routine, followed by cream... and a facial toning device to lift and refine her features.
She had intended to ignore him, but she couldn’t take it anymore. She put down what she was holding and looked at the man sitting on the edge of the bed, who had been staring at her with a direct, unflinching gaze.
Seeing her look over, he curved his lips into a smile and asked, "What’s wrong?" Rachel said, "Staring at like that... are you into ?" Tristan’s thin lips curled slightly. He stood up, walked over to Rachel, and stood behind her. Bending down, he placed his hands on the vanity, completely enveloping her beneath him. He looked down at her and said, "Isn’t it normal to be into you?" A cool, thin smile touched Rachel’s lips. "Is that so? n really are such superficial creatures." Tristan asked, "Then why don’t you tell why you used to like ? Was it because you saw my inner beauty?"
Hearing this, Rachel’s expression darkened. She put down the facial toning device, stood up, and shot him a look. "Because I was blind!" She pushed his hands away, walked over to the sofa, and took a red-light therapy mask she had brought today out of a bag. After putting it on her face, she leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest.
Imdiately after,
she distinctly felt the sofa beside her dip, and then the man’s low voice reached her ears. "lissa really takes after you." Rachel kept her eyes closed, motionless and silent.
"She loves looking good, just like you—has to be dressed up perfectly before going out. But she’s not like you, willing to sacrifice her health for beauty in the middle of winter." Despite the cold weather, Rachel’s work attire was always fashion-forward.
She said coolly, "Stay out of won’s business." Tristan just smiled. "It’s not convenient for you to keep staying in lissa’s room. If you don’t want to live with , I’ll have another bedroom prepared." Rachel didn’t argue with him. "Do whatever you want." The room fell silent.
But the man beside her showed no intention of leaving.
「Half an hour later.」
Rachel removed the beauty mask from her face and glanced at the man beside her, who was holding his phone and scrolling through so docunts.
Tristan looked up from his phone, turning his head. His dark, deep eyes fixed on her face as he said, "The results are pretty good. You actually do look a little fairer." Rachel put the mask away. "You seem to know a lot about this."
As she spoke, she turned, opened her bag, and took out an agreent, handing it to Tristan.
Tristan took it and began to read.
It was a marital agreent.
If Tristan had an affair with any woman or fathered an illegitimate child during their marriage, they would divorce, and custody of lissa would go to her.
Every clause targeted Tristan’s personal conduct.
After finishing the agreent, Tristan looked at Rachel. "Since this is a mutual agreent, it can’t be all about ." "You’re surrounded by plenty of n yourself, so I’m not exactly reassured. We should at least add one more clause: you can’t have an affair with any man. If you do, we’ll have another child." Rachel’s face darkened. "Tristan Sterling, I don’t share your lack of morals." Tristan said, "Fine, we don’t have to add it. In that case, you can move back into the master bedroom with . We’re a married couple, shouldn’t we at least share a bedroom?" Rachel glared at him.
"Relax, I won’t force you to do anything with ."
"And you think I’d believe you?"
"If I forced you, you’d definitely raise hell with . lissa has finally gotten her mom and dad here with her, and I don’t want our relationship to affect her happiness."
