My Sweet Seduction novel Chapter 10

I REMAINED SILENT. I have no intention of discussing this matter further because I am not in the position to ask him for an explanation.

I just went straight to the room he had reserved for me last night and slumped on the side of the bed. I calmed myself a few times before noticing the red rose he had given me. I closed my eyes for a moment and smelled its scent. I can’t help but smile when I saw again the letter he wrote.

“Hmm. Lucky rose . . .”

My eyes opened. Lawrence leaned against the door frame staring at me with a curved lip. His dimple shows. I can’t help but be overwhelmed.

What would it be like to be trapped in his arms, especially if something more serious had happened to us last night? I quickly shook my head and scolded myself for thinking about that.

“Our lunch is ready. Let’s eat,” he said before leaving.

I quietly followed because I actually starving. He pulled out a chair for me and gently tapped my shoulder before sitting down in front of me. We ate quietly as if nothing happened.

“So, how is Peter?” He rolled the wine in his glass and looked carefully into my eyes.

“Hmm, he was okay,” I replied. I noticed that he just raised an eyebrow before continuing to eat.

He never spoke again. But I was surprised when he leaned against me and my back stiffened in the chair. I close my eyes as he wipes the edge of my lip. My heart melted. I also feel like my cheeks are already red because of embarrassment.

“Sorry,” he said before returning to his seat.

I swallowed. “All right.”

We looked at each other until his phone rang in his pocket. I had the opportunity to watch him. This guy is definitely attractive. He has tiny sparkling eyes and a voice that is warmer than sunlight.

I blinked when he spoke. “Finish your meal. I have important things to do at the reception.”

Lawrence left immediately when I finished eating. I didn’t even try to leave the suite and just chose to call Cindy.

I was expecting her sequential question, but I did not give any details because I was not sure of what Lawrence and I have.

After I learned that she had arrived at the resort, Cindy and I headed to the suite. Lawrence and I are still on her mind, and she has a lot to say about it. At first, she did not want to believe that nothing happened between us, so she kept on asking other questions. But I remained silent even when we got to her suite to put on the gown for the wedding. My belongings that Lawrence himself allegedly brought were already there.

“All right. I’ll believe nothing happened to you two, but just a little,” Cindy said tremblingly as she faced the dresser. She has her hair and makeup fixed.

I rolled my eyes. It also makes no sense even if I explain; after all, it looks like she has no intention of believing my answers.
