Chapter 1127
Xyla looked away and gasped. “I didn’t.”
Yorrick snorted. “You’re afraid that you will fall for me someday. That’s why you backed down.” Xyla was so agitated that her whole body trembled. “Who told you that I’m afraid? And why should I fall for you? I’ll fall for every single man in the world before I do the same to you!”
“It’s because you’re afraid.”
“You!” Xyla’s chest palpitated even more vigorously as she faced the bombardment of his questions.
Yorrick then kissed her on the lips and laughed hoarsely when he saw her body soften. “You like the excitement and stimulation that I bring to you, so it’s not that you don’t have feelings for me. It’s just that you don’t want to admit it.” Xyla pursed her lips tightly and stared elsewhere while Yorrick caressed her cheek with his palm. “It does look like many women surround me from time to time.”
He paused for a few seconds and then continued with a faint smile. “But frankly speaking, I’ve only slept with two women in total. As for you, you’re currently the second placer on the list, and you might even be the last.”
At the St. Donnor Estate…
Yuna was sitting in the courtyard drinking afternoon tea with Mandy. She knew that last night’s scheme had failed, so she wanted to comfort Mandy. “You don’t have to care that much about that woman.
You’re the daughter of the Rennards, and Yorrick will eventually marry you.”
Mandy put the teacup down. “Mrs. Hathaway, Yorrick might be serious about that woman.”
“He’s serious?” Yuna sneered as she placed the teacup to her lips but did not drink from it. “Since that woman died years ago, he hasn’t been serious about any woman. Every woman that he’s been with up until today has only been a temporary passion.”
Having mentioned that woman, Mandy was astonished for a split second. “But she’s been dead for so many years. Maybe Yorrick has already let go…”
Yuna lifted her eyelids. “But what if she’s still alive?”
‘That’s impossible!” Mandy was surprised.” I was there when she was cremated…”
