Lara’s body stiffened. “I can’t afford to like someone like you.”

“What do you mean by that?” Shawn stared at her.

Lara let out a mocking laugh. “Someone like you has probably been surrounded by women your entire life. I was simply the one who clung to you the hardest back then, so you found me mildly amusing.

“I was convenient. Someone who could entertain you, kill your boredom, and act as your shield to keep other women away. Just like now. Isn’t that true?”

Shawn froze.

If she had said that about their relationship years ago, it wouldn’t have been wrong.

But now? Now that he was with her again, it was no longer

true.

“For this one–year contract, I’ll be exactly what you want— a proper, obedient girlfriend. But nothing more. So I hope nothing like that night happens again,” Lara said.

Shawn’s face darkened. “What do you mean by ‘nothing like that night“?”

Once or twice was one thing, but she had no intention of continuing.

No matter how much his looks and body appealed to her, she didn’t want to depend on fleeting pleasure.

“You don’t like sleeping with me?” A flicker of anger crossed his

eyes.

“That kind of thing should be done with someone you love. We’re just contract partners. You don’t love me, and I don’t love you, either,” Lara said.

“Then what if I choose to love you? Will you love me?” Shawn asked suddenly.

Lara stared at him, stunned, as if she’d just heard a joke.

“That’s ridiculous. If you wanted to love me, you should’ve done it when we were dating,” she said with a short laugh. “Do people fall in love after breaking up? Besides, like I said, I can’t afford to like someone like you. So please, stop making me laugh.”

Shawn’s expression went cold.

。

For the first time in years, he’d said something like that to a woman, only to be rejected so cleanly.

He remembered when they dated. She’d clung to his arm,

“We agreed from the beginning fat taling you.” he’d told her.

“That’s fine. I’ll work hard to make you fall in the You agreed to date me, so there must be sometimes you the about me. I’ll make that hiking grow,” het

What had he been thinking back there that the w amusing?

He only wanted to pass the time and re terasa mad from

the women who constantly pestered fim.

But she genuinely believed he liked her. She even fo might love her.

He hadn’t found her clinginess or her tunes figusing Sometimes he even found her cute.

But he never thought that meant anything deeper.

He didn’t realize his feelings had changed unil after fe broke up. Her face kept appearing in his mind and ever offer woman felt meaningless.

He tried to deny it. Told himself a girl who dumped him had an right to occupy his thoughts.

But his denial crumbled the moment he saw her again 3/5

When he saw her walk into a hotel with Vince, jealousy ate at him, and that feeling still lingered, even now.

“Lara, you seduced me first,” Shawn said, his expression

stormy.

“That’s why I agreed to be your girlfriend for one year,” Lara said. “After a year, I hope we can part peacefully.”

Shawn pressed his lips into a thin line.

Peacefully part?

Unfortunately for her, he no longer wanted that.

Once Shawn was finally out of the apartment, Lara exhaled deeply.

Why did he come so late at night?

Surely not just to check on me.

Forget it.

She wouldn’t think about it.

She locked the door and turned, only to find Riley standing in the living room, looking straight at her.

Lara blinked. “You saw him?”

“I saw you bringing him out of your room,” Riley said.

When she knocked earlier, she’d sensed something was off.

She’d waited in silence, and eventually saw Lara escort Shawn

out.

“He… was just stopping by,” Lara said awkwardly.

Riley lifted a brow. “You and he…”

“N–Nothing’s going on. We’re just pretending to date for a year so I can block some women for him. After that, we’ll break up.”
