He sounded like he had caught me cheating on him.
Here is the English translation of the passage:
Although it wasn’t the case, I still felt somewhat uneasy. I looked at Ryan and said, “Mr. Frost, he’s here to pick me up, so… I won’t trouble you any longer. Thank you!”
With that, I leaned against the car and walked towards the Mulsanne.
“You…”
Ryan looked at me with concern, his dark eyes swirling with emotion. He took a step closer but didn’t say anything, simply helping me into Frank’s car.
He then tumed to Frank and said coldly, “There’s no need for misunderstandings. She’s been drugged. I’m entrusting her to you because I believe you won’t take advantage of her situation.”
Frank sneered. “Mr. Frost, that’s quite amusing. Whether I take advantage of her or not is none business. If I remember correctly, you no longer have any relationship with Charlotte.”

Ryan’s back stiffened slightly, and he seemed somewhat dazed before he spoke, “Such matters are best handled when both parties are clear–headed and willing.”
He looked at me, forced himself to remain calm, and said, “Take good care of her!”
With that, he closed the car door and walked away, as if fearing he might regret it. Yet, every step he took seemed filled with reluctance.
After Frank signaled the driver to start, he took Ryan’s coat from behind me and lifted me onto his lap with a stern expression. “You didn’t call me when something happened?”
“Aren’t you still angry?” I smiled at him and pointed to the injury on my mouth. “The wound hasn’t healed yet.”
Frank snorted. “You remember but don’t learn.”
I hooked my arm around his neck and asked with a smile, “So, are you still going to hit me?”
Perhaps due to the drug. I had no control over myself. I said and did whatever came to my mind. Normally, I wouldn’t be this proactive.
Frank cocked his brows slightly, somewhat surprised.’ll still do it if you ask for it.”
“Bad Frank!”
A phrase I often used to scold him as a child slipped out now, and both of us looked at each other in surprise.
He was extremely perceptive. “Have you regained your memory?”
“Yes.”
I felt increasingly hot and struggled to return to my original seat.

Frank held my hand. “Why are you running away?”
“I’m hot…”
As soon as the words left my mouth, I felt so embarrassed that I wanted to cry. The heat inside me was almost overwhelming.
“Be good, don’t move around.” He held me still and gently coaxed, “Hang in there, we’ll be home soon.”
With that, he glanced at the driver and instructed, “Drive faster.”
The car sped back to the apartment.
However, he took me to the fifth floor–his home.
As soon as he placed me on the sofa, his phone rang, and a chattering voice came through.
“Uncle! Did you pick Aunt up? Jane and I are still out and about.”
“I did.”
Frank sat on the sofa, turned on his loudspeaker, and placed it aside. He leaned down, cradled the back of my head, and gently kissed the corner of my lips.
“Then you mustn’t bully Aunt!”
Frank cocked his brows, a hint of mischief in his expression. “What do you mean by bully her?”
The air conditioning made the air cool, but his breath was warm, making my skin tingle.
After a short pause, the child said, “If you make Aunt’s lips bleed, that counts as bullying!”
Even under the influence of the drug. I felt deeply embarrassed.
The next moment, Frank bit me lightly again, his eyes sparkling, and he replied dismissively, “Got it, little brat.”
Then, he ended the call.
His lips once again touched the corner of mine, and he softly asked, “May I kiss you?”
This man was deliberately teasing me.
He didn’t ask before biting me.
My heart raced like thunder. I closed my eyes, wrapped my arms around his neck, pulled him closer, and took the initiative to kiss him.
My ears were burning with embarrassment.
“It’s okay. I’m under the influence of the drug. I can attribute all my actions tonight to the drug.‘ I tried to convince myself inwardly.
Frank seemed to enjoy my initiative. He kissed me gently and lovingly, again and again, his voice low and his laughter pleasant. “Just friends?”
It seemed that what goes around did come

He had always held a grudge.
I was becoming increasingly dazed. “Yes…”
‘Still a yes?”
He bit me lightly, snapping me back to my senses a little. “How many friends do you have like me?” “None…” I kept my eyes closed, lost in his kiss, and murmured, “Only you, Frank, only you.”
