He kept her tied down, never letting her have peace, yet he was gentle to every woman but her. Any woman could receive his tenderness.
So, what was the point of her showing any emotion? He couldn't possibly love her.
If he did, he wouldn't do so many things that broke her heart.
After finishing her breakfast, Aveline went straight to work.
After a busy day, she bought groceries and went to Selena's place.
When she opened the door, she saw Selena lounging on the sofa, watching a variety show and laughing heartily. The tank top she wore revealed the marks on her body, indicating how intense things had been.
Aveline was silent for a moment before asking, "Didn't you go to work today?" Selena replied, "I took the day off." Aveline carried the groceries into the kitchen, put on an apron, and started cooking. "What do you want to eat?" Selena cover and hugged her. "Something spicy. I need sexcitement." Aveline glanced at her. "Looks like you've had plenty of excitement already." Selena pouted. "I didn't expect it to go that way. Just... couldn't stop."

His mouth twitched uncontrollably before he continued, "Sg, de you think she'll want the man to take manto responsibility?" Lucas was silent for a moment before saying, "I don't know. I'm not a woman."
Aaron shook his head, "She probably will. Women have thesestrangem e notions about such things. Sigh..." He sighed deeply, seemingly troubled by the issue.
Lucas drained his glass and said, "What do women really want?" Aaron shrugged. "Beats me." In the small private room, the atmosphere suddenly grew tense.
Aaron was still lost in thoughts about the previous night's intensity.om Selena's personality was fiery, and she was just as fierce in bed. Even when her face turned pale with pain, she refused to back down, her stubbornness evident.
Tsk...
If she cto him seeking responsibility, should he give her money or a house? Since it was her first time, he felt he should show ssincerity.
But the idea of marrying her? That was out of the question.
