My Sweet Seduction novel Chapter 70

AFTER EATING, THE group decided to do a movie marathon in the living room. I just quietly sat while waiting for Lawrence, who’s talking to his father on the veranda. A few moments later, I sat up when I felt he sat next to me.

“Dad’s gone,” he said casually before hugging me.

Only then did I breathe properly because of what he said. I leaned on his shoulder and hugged my arms around his body.

“How’s Clarence?”

“He slept in his room before I got off here,” I answered.

“I’m sorry about Dad.” He lowered his head to look at me evenly. The same feeling hits me big time. It is even worse now because I gradually feel that it has a good destination.

“It’s okay. I know he doesn’t like me.” My heart twisted a bit. Until now, the effects of what happened earlier still weigh heavily on me.

I felt him grabbed my hand. He played it for a while and finally folded our fingers.

“We talked earlier. You have nothing to worry about Dad,” he said gently.

Eventually, I calmed down and enjoyed the TV show.

But we were awakened for a moment when Elliesse suddenly sat down next to her as if she had not seen me. Then she suddenly pulled Lawrence’s arm to hug her.

My lips pursed tightly. Gradually I felt the warmth of my two cheeks.

“Elliesse, why don’t you go home with dad? You have nothing to do here!” Franco told her with the lace of sarcasm.

Elliesse didn’t reply. She just hugged Lawrence’s arm even more as if no one knew about it.

I tried to pull my hand away from him, but he held it tightly. Lawrence awkwardly moved away to Elliesse and pulled his arms completely.

Until Cindy broke her silence and confronted us while we were waiting, her eyes were blazing with fire, and I knew it was about to explode.

“If you take a picture today, your picture will definitely be good. And the title of your picture will be . . . the wife and the mistress,” she said sarcastically. She even gestured with her hand in the air while tracing a crazy smile.

I shut my eyes in exasperation. Damn it! I violently withdrew my hand from Lawrence, whom he had consciously given.

“So who will be the mistress, then?” Elliesse boldly asked Cindy with a raised eyebrow. “Because probably, not me,” she added in a nasty tone.

Cindy burst out laughing; a burst of great booming laughter rolled from her mouth. But her seriousness returned when she spoke again.

“You are the mistress because you’re a joke,” she said while hitching a brow at her.

I felt a blockage in Lawrence’s throat, which made him feel uncomfortable in the conversation.

“Who do you think your wife to be, then?” Jocko sighed as he sat up and then hugged the pillow in front of us. Jocko’s teasing of Lawrence was evident in his smile.

“Who will you choose?” Franco said in a low, rumble voice. He leaned against the jamb of the elegant staircase while examining his stares.

Instead of answering, Lawrence turned his gaze to me. I was immediately nervous. His eyes looked more serious than ever. I can clearly see the tightening of his jaw.

He then finally stood up in front of me. I quickly glanced at Franco and his comrades, who seemed to have no idea what was going on.
