A Night with Her Cruel Mate novel Chapter 43

"Take this. It's the key to the house. You can stay here for a while. I'll live in my company these days." Terence handed Julia the key. Confusion enveloped him as he wondered why he said that.

Julia was a vicious woman. It should be natural for him to be indifferent towards her and just let her suffer.

However, when Terence saw Julia's distressed look, he didn't have the heart to do so.

It wasn't his desire to know whether the news on the Internet was genuine or not. All he wanted was to help Julia overcome her current predicament.

When Terence was just about to leave, Julia asked shyly, "Terence, do you trust me?"

Julia wanted to figure out what Terence thought of the news on the Internet.

The opinion of others never bothered her. However, Terence's opinion was different.

"Are you referring to the news on the Internet?" Terence sneered and turned to Julia. "I don't care whether it's true or not. Just stay here and don't cause any more trouble for me!"

It was apparent that Terence was gravely worried about Julia. However, he said such hurtful words without any reason. When he noticed how the light in her eyes dimmed, his heart ached.

"Then, why did you bother to bring me here? You don't even believe me!" A bitter smile painted Julia's face. "Wouldn't it be better for you if you left me alone? You've always wanted to see me suffer, right?"

"You have no idea how much I want you to suffer!" Terence sneered. "However, no matter what, we are still a couple, at least in legal terms. I'm not going to let you die like a dog. Just wait for things to settle down before you leave. Don't get me in trouble."

"Huh? At least in legal terms!?" After she heard Terence's ruthless words, Julia sneered. In desperation, she gave him an angry stare. "Mr. Chen, is it really for the sake of our marriage certificates? Or maybe just for the sake of those nights we spent together?"

Terence's words hurt Julia. Initially, she had intended to sit down and have a good talk with him. Although they could not be a couple, they could at least be friends. However, their exchange of speeches had just worsened their situation.

"I advise you to make it clear to me, or I might misunderstand what you truly mean, Mr. Chen." Julia curled her eyebrows in aggravation.

"What do you want?" Terence gave Julia a confused look.

As she raised an eyebrow, Julia lightly looked at Terence. Then, she said softly, "Mr. Chen, if you are doing this for the sake of our marriage, I'll just consider you a kind person. I am more than willing to take your offer and live here quietly. When the rumors have finally dissipated, then I'll leave immediately."

"Then, if it is for the sake of those nights, what would you do instead?" asked Terence with a cold, dignified face.

"Well, if that is the case..." Julia slowly walked up to Terence. Then, she held his neck and said seductively, "I should do my duty. You brought me here because you need to let off some stress, right?"

A suggestive smile appeared on Julia's beautiful face. "Now, Mr. Chen, what do you want to do today?"
