"You go first!" Sylvie tilted her head and gave him a glance. "No one here is more evil than you!"
"Hahaha…" Ernie burst into laughter and said, "You're right, no one is as shameless as me or as bold as I am. I'm just a playboy! Who did you call just now? Did you ask someone to pick you up? Why do you have to try so hard? I brought you here, so naturally I'll take you back. Why are you making such a fuss? It's not like I'm going to rape you, so what if I do? Is it a big deal for a man and a woman to have sex these days? Besides, which of those bad guys are as handsome as me? It's better to be raped by me than to be raped by those bad guys, right? It's a good tradition for the Hughes family to always keep all the benefits for our own people. Now that you're married to Marley, and you're part of the Hughes family, so you should continue to carry on this tradition just like me!"
Sylvie rolled her eyes. "Are you done, Ernie?"
"You should call me brother!" Ernie said, "Anyway, I'm your elder brother!"
"Do you think you're behaving like an older brother?" Sylvie glared at him. Would an elder brother flirt with his brother's wife?
"Honestly, I'm really not!" He simply pulled over and got out of the car himself. "But who knows? These days, there are quite a lot of men who are sanctimonious, but are actually hypocrites. Maybe some of them like to make trouble secretly behind the scenes!"
As soon as Sylvie heard his words, she wanted to leave immediately.
"Stop!" he said solemnly. "Don't you dare take a step!"
Such a threatening tone was tinged with a natural dominance that made her body shudder involuntarily. Helplessly, Sylvie had to stop and look at him. "Ernie, what do you really want?"
Ernie burst out laughing again, "Take it easy, little girl! I'm just trying to remind you. I just want to remind you that I'm good-looking too, and my skills in bed are no worse than Marley's! If you're lonely, I'm willing to sacrifice my sexuality and lend you my shoulder to lean on! It seems that my handsomeness is not inferior to his, right?"
Sylvie couldn't hold back her laughter, did this man always talk like a rogue? She should have been angry, but as she watched his behaviour and listened to his words, she laughed unexpectedly and she even found herself baffled.
"What are you laughing at?" Ernie asked.
"Don't say the same thing over and over again, no one will like it. How many times have you said it, and it's not a pleasant thing to hear either. If you want to make a joke, make a different one, there's no point in saying the same thing!"
"Uh!" When Ernie saw her puffing herself up to her own cost and her look pretending not to be afraid nor nervous, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Little girl, you're so smart! But we've just hugged, kissed and pinched, and you're just going to leave like this?"
At his words, a blush immediately crept across Sylvie's face. Thinking about what they had done in the car just now, she was a bit chagrined and pursed her lips, staring at his roguish look. She never thought that she would be forced to such an embarrassing situation by a rogue.
Ernie was so pleased with her cute little look that she pouted unconsciously, and her blushing cheeks looked like a peach ready to be picked. Her bright, clear eyes rippled with a crystal glow that made people uncontrollably want to adore her.
Once again, they both refused to budge on the road. Sylvie counted the time; Marley had told her that he would be here in ten minutes and now there were still a few minutes to go. She really hoped that Marley could arrive as soon as possible because she really didn’t want to stay with this man any longer. He was horrible! Some men were actually so horrible!
"Let's go! Let's go eat!"
"No!" Sylvie refused.
"Okay then! You can stay here and play by yourself! I'm leaving now!" With that, he walked over to her, grabbed her and yanked her into his arms. Lowering his head, he imprinted a kiss on her lips.
Sylvie, who hadn't expected him to do this at all, screamed in shock, "Ah– um–"
Her face flushed instantly as she struggled to push him away and kicked him hard, "Bastard– Ernie–"
He gripped her waist firmly and fastened her to him, lowering his head to kiss Sylvie fiercely. Her delicate body was like a pitiful white rabbit, while the big hands that clamped her slender waist were even stronger.
Ernie held her slender waist, and Sylvie was so frightened that she bit his lips violently. However, he seemed to sense it, and the moment she was about to bite him, he narrowed his icy eyes gently and let her go abruptly. "Ha-ha! Are you trying to bite me? Little wildcat, you're so hot! I've given you a stamp! How about it! My kiss is hotter than your man's, right?"
Sylvie was stunned!
He let go of her, turned around, and left in a dashing and languid manner like a rogue.
'Ernie is nothing short of a devil!' Sylvie said in her heart.
As the black car slid out, another car came like an arrow. With a squeal of brakes, the car came to a halt beside her.
"Bang", the car door was opened. With a gloomy expression, Marley got out of the car and looked grimly at Sylvie.
The hair of Marley, who was usually meticulous, was slightly dishevelled. He wasn't wearing a suit, and the two buttons on his shirt were unbuttoned, revealing his sturdy chest. His tie, on the other hand, was untied. He looked completely wretched, with his eyes filled with anger and his lips pursed tightly.
Was he Marley? Didn't he have something to do this afternoon?
Sylvie's heart trembled slightly, feeling a bit nervous.
He strode over and fixed his gaze on her lips, which were red and swollen at the moment and looked delicately charming. As he drove from a distance, he first saw two silhouettes embracing each other. He stepped on the gas pedal and rushed toward them, but found a red light at the road intersection. When he stopped for the red light, he saw that she was being embraced and kissed by Ernie. Although he couldn't see clearly from a distance and it was dusk, he could still see that he was kissing her.
At that time, he couldn't care anymore, and he no longer cared about the red light. Anyway, since there were only a few cars on the road, he rushed directly to them.
But Ernie had already gotten into the car, started the engine and drove off quickly.
He saw that Sylvie's red lips were now slightly swollen, and his eyes grew even more somber.
He walked straight up to Sylvie. His huge shadow made Sylvie tremble slightly, and she couldn't help but lower her head and whisper, "Marley!"

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
