Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control novel Chapter 217

Lorraine could no longer keep smiling. She was done pretending that she was okay with all these. She could tell that Wendy did not like her as she did not even urge her to stay. She knew that from the very beginning.

Looking in his intimidating and imposing self, Levi strode downstairs and walked up to Selina. He sat down beside her and sweetly put his hands around her waist. He whispered in her ear, trying to seduce her, "I have to go to the army right now. Wait for me tonight and we'll do something real good..."

With her face turning red because of dismay, Selina lowered her head and pinched his arms. She exclaimed loudly, "Then leave! Go right now!"

"Don't be so mean! I don't want to go there as well. I really want to be with you all day. But I'm just a little busy now. I have to go." His mouth slightly twitched as he felt a bit of pain when Selina pinched him.

Wendy grinned at their interaction and told her son, "Just leave. I'm too old to watch the both of you being so sweet to each other."

Levi let go of Selina after he kissed her on the cheeks. He stood up from the sofa and saluted to his wife before walking out the door. "Your Majesty, I'll leave then!"

... Selina did not expect that he would say such words in front of Wendy. She was totally ashamed as she was not used to this kind of romantic gesture. Her face flushed as she deliberately glared at him, "Don't call me that! Just leave! You're so naughty!"

But Levi still found her so cute when she pouted. He wanted to hug and kiss her again.

Selina knew that Levi was harboring dirty thoughts yet again. She was worried that he would do something out of the line. Then she determinedly pointed to Lorraine near them and said, "Lorraine had been waiting for some time here! Look at her!"

Levi's good mood was all swept away at the mention of Lorraine. Immediately, he felt so frustrated. He didn't want anything to do with that woman.

He caressed Selina's hair and finally gave up, "I should leave now!"

The manor became awkwardly quiet soon after he left.

When Wendy went out of the kitchen, she saw Selina sitting squarely on the sofa, seemingly immersed in deep thoughts, face flushed crimson.

Wendy suddenly had the urge to tease her. She cleared her throat and deliberately asked, "Selina, why has your face turned red? How are you feeling now?"

"Um... Um..." Selina did not know what to say now. She was still not used to telling her mother-in-law about her sensitive feelings. Actually, Levi's recent actions and gestures reminded her of how he treated her in bed. But that would be too embarrassing. That would mean that she was an easy woman. "It's nothing, really. I'm all right. Aunt... Mom, why not come with me to the kitchen to check on the ingredients and the recipe?"

But in fact, Wendy knew the reason too well. She was too old not to know what the young couple was going through. She put up a smile and went to the kitchen with her.

The first thing Hugh did when he returned from his three-day business trip is to call Sophia into his office, and talk with her about the assassination happened the other day.

"According to my sources, they've found out about what happened that day, and had it taken care of." Huge's face became stern and serious. This was a grievous issue that needed to be urgently resolved. They all knew who and how they did it. Yet, there was something that hindering them from moving forward. They did not have the evidence to sue Jonas and Gregary yet, and would have to make some strides in pursuing that matter.

Joining together, Jonas and Gregary were extremely prudent and scrupulous in doing their dirty work. They did not leave any obvious trace of evidence.

"It doesn't matter. They'll soon pay for what they did." Sophia then put the final design on the desk.

Hugh's stiff expression was gone after he went through Sophia's own design. He smiled and said, "It's actually very good. How could I not know that you are gifted in designing clothes back then? We could have worked on many projects already."

Smiling, Sophia shook her head and exclaimed, "I wouldn't call it a gift! I don't have any innate talent in this area. I just became familiar with it after I have experienced enough in this industry. I perceived and worked hard to be where I am right now."

"Your design is absolutely fabulous! I haven't seen anything like it! But there are minor flaws in it. Do you have any idea what those flaws are?" Hugh sincerely asked her while grinning. He then put aside the design and met Sophia's confused eyes. He believed that Sophia knew what he meant. She was an intelligent woman after all.

"No one is perfect. I know my own weaknesses. I'll work on it." Sophia replied in a very determined tone. Her uneasy eyes were brimming with hesitation. She had not opened up her heart for a long time. She had always kept all her feelings inside her.
