Chapter 1831 The man leading the group of three took a puff on a cigarette, and his gaze landed on the room‘s door across the hallway. He did not see any light shining through the seams, making it obvious that no one was there.
He snuffed out the cigarette. “Keep an eye on this whole floor for me and wait for them to come back. Remember, grab the woman first.”
When the footsteps went further away, Freyja‘s clothes were. already soaked in a cold sweat. She then realized Colton‘s hand was still covering her mouth, so she gently pushed it off her face.
Colton regained his senses and retracted his hand.
Freyja leaned against the door and sneered. “Do you believe me now?”
Colton did not utter anything. He caught a glimpse of her lacerated palm and grabbed her wrist.
She pulled her hand away instantly. “What are you doing?”
He stared at her. “Your acting skills are just so–so.”
Freyja scoffed. “Didn‘t you just say that my acting skills are so fabulous that I even managed to trick your brother, and you‘re now saying that my acting skills are poor?” “Why did you buy that thing?”
“What?”
Seeing that his gaze was fixed on the bag she had brought back, Freyja finally came back to her senses and reacted, then turned her face away and gnashed her teeth. “I grabbed it by mistake.”
‘I grabbed it in such a tense situation, so how would I have the time to focus on what I took?‘
“Grabbed it by mistake?” Colton scoffed and approached her. “I think you‘re just trying to cover your actions with a lie.”
Freyja pushed him away and went to pack her luggage. “If you have the time to mock me, you might as well think about how we can get out of this room.”
There were no lights in the room, and the interior dimmed gradually as the sun set and the sky darkened.
The weather was hot, and the air conditioner was not turned on, so the whole room felt extremely stuffy.
Colton opened the French window, and the sea breeze blew in through the window and made them feel a little better.
Freyja sat on the couch and could only munch on the snacks she had bought to fill her stomach.
