Chapter 214 Longing for His Body

Jared sped home as fast as he could.

He was planning to take a quick shower.

But just as he was about to punch in the villa’s code, a woman called out to him from behind. “Jared!”

Jared paused and turned around.

Lizzie was walking toward him in a tailored designer outfit, high heels clicking softly against the ground.

“What are you doing here?” Jared asked, his expression cold and distant, an unmistakable air of aloofness surrounding him

Lizzie smiled brightly. “I’ve been waiting for you here for quite some time.”

Jared’s brows knitted. “Waiting for me? For what?”

Lizzie pulled a gift box from behind her back and handed it to him, eyes sparkling with excitement.

“I just got back from overseas. I brought you something.”

Jared glanced at it without much interest. “What is it?”

Lizzie smiled brightly. “Just open it and see for yourself.”

Lizzie had carefully picked out this gift for Jared while she was overseas.

She had even gone so far as to ask Jared’s mom and sister about Jared’s liking.

Lizzie was sure Jared would love her gift.

But to her surprise, Jared did not even reach for the box.

He merely coldly rejected, “No need. Take it back.”

With that, he turned to head inside.

But Lizzie was not about to give up that easily.

She hurried over and blocked his way. “But I heard from your mom that your birthday’s coming up soon. Just consider this an early gift from me.”

She figured that reason would be enough to make Jared accept her gift.

But Jared remained indifferent.

He did not even spare the gift a single glance.

Jared refused again. “No need. I don’t take gifts from strangers.”

‘Strangers?’ Lizzie froze, stunned.

She felt a pang in her chest.

‘How am I a stranger to him?’ she thought, feeling lost.

Forcing a smile, she said, “I thought… At the very least, we’re friends.”

Jared’s expression stayed icy. “Sorry, that’s just your assumption.”

To him, they were less than strangers.

At least strangers posed no conflict of interest.

But to Jared, Lizzie was just a pawn in Harley’s game.

Jared could not help but suspect that Lizzie was acting on Harley’s orders, trying to get closer to him.

There was no way he would let her have that chance.

Lizzie felt a wave of disappointment.

She had gone out of her way to buy a gift and personally waited outside Jared’s house to give it to him.

‘Couldn’t he at least give me some credit?’ Lizzie thought, feeling hurt.

“But…” Lizzie started, trying to say more.

But Jared cut her off coldly. “I already have someone I like, and I’m currently pursuing her. I need to stay loyal to her, so I can’t accept gifts from other women. Otherwis

Hearing that, Lizzie felt a stab of jealousy for th

Successfully unlocked!

‘How come that woman gets Jared’s attention so easily?’ Lizzie thought, feeling seriously envious.

Chapter 214 Longing for His Body

“Who exactly are you pursuing?” Lizzie asked, unable to hide her curiosity.

She just wanted to see where she fell short compared to that mystery woman.

As the top socialite, Lizzie had looks, figure, and family background all at the highest level.

Many wealthy men had pursued her, yet she had her heart set on Jared.

Lizzie did not believe there was anyone more exceptional than her.

Jared raised a brow. “Once I’ve won her over, I’ll naturally introduce her and show her off.”

Lizzie narrowed her eyes.

‘Jared actually refuses to reveal the name of the girl he’s pursuing. Seems like he’s very protective of her.

‘Does he think I might harm that girl?’ Lizzie thought, pursing her lips slightly.

But she quickly reassured herself.

‘At least one thing is clear. Jared hadn’t won that woman over yet, she thought.

“As long as you haven’t succeeded in pursuing her, I still have a chance,” Lizzie said softly, a confident smile on her lips. bet you’ll never find anyone better than me.”

In high society, marriage was about strategic matches.

If Jared chose her, she would be a strong asset to him. As a wealthy and privileged socialite, Lizzie was exactly the kind of daughter-in-law many elite families desired.

Jared should not be blind to her value.

Jared gave her a cold, disdainful glance, a sneer curling at his lips. “Ms. Hopkins, confidence is one thing, but when it turns into arrogance, that’s just off-putting. I have zero interest in women who are full of themselves.”

Lizzie’s face darkened. “I…”

Before she could defend herself, Jared had already punched in the code and stepped inside, not sparing her another look.

It was obvious he had no intention of inviting her in.

Lizzie was left out in the cold, a wave of defeat washing over her.

This was the first time in her life she had ever made the first move on a guy, yet she kept getting rejected.

Lizzie’s rational side told her she should call it quits and walk away.

But her desire to conquer only intensified.

Lizzie was determined; she was not going to give up until Jared was hers, no matter what it took!

That night, Natasha had a steamy dream.

In her dream, Jared had her in his arms, and they were tangled up together on the sofa in the CEO’s lounge.

Her clothes were all messed up, her legs wrapped tightly around Jared’s waist.

His burning hands gripped her waist, holding her close.

His husky voice whispered sweet nothings in her ear, guiding her every move.

“Come on, baby, call out to me,” Jared growled, his breath hot and ragged right by her ear.

Natasha shot awake, heart pounding.

When she opened her eyes, it was already morning.

She was covered in sweat, her breath coming in short, uneven gasps.

She could not help but pat her burning cheeks in embarrassment.

‘Damn it!’ Natasha cursed inwardly.

‘Why did I have a steamy dream? Of all people, why did it have to be Jared? Is it just because I haven’t had sex in forever?’

But she and Jared had just slept together not too long ago.
