Chapter 246

“I asked you before, when you were using the identity of

Eleanor, always coming to see me, contacting me… besides

wanting me to partner with the Whitman group, did you have

any personal reasons?”

Adrian’s voice was very soft, like the breeze blowing past,

carrying his words into Rebecca’s ears.

She felt her heart skip a beat.

She instinctively turned her head, her eyes meeting Adrian’s.

Thump, thump.

Her heartbeat quickened. Rebecca thought that if lying really

made your nose grow, she’d better not open her mouth right

now.

She lied a lot.

But this time, she wanted to tell the truth.

“Yes.”

Chapter 246

As she spat out the word, sharp and clear, Rebecca could

clearly see Adrian’s pupils contract, a subtle change.

As if filled with the satisfaction of being in complete control.

He nodded and said softly, “What ulterior motive?

Keep talking.”

။

“This is the second question, isn’t it?”

“You owe me so much, what’s one more question?”

Rebecca had a habit of changing the subject when she felt

guilty, so she pouted.

“You’re so calculating, you’re the one who should be in

business.”

“Rebecca.”

Adrian held back a laugh. “Answer the question.”

Okay, attempt to change the subject: failed.

Rebecca had no choice but to confess. “What other motive could there be? I just… think you’re good–looking and wanted a few more glances. Appreciating beauty is human nature, right?”

It was a nonchalant statement, but after saying it, Rebecca didn’t dare touch her own face to feel how hot it was.

Adrian raised an eyebrow, not quite satisfied with that answer.

He continued to coax her.

“So, can I take that to mean you like me?”

“Is lust at first sight the same as liking someone?”

Rebecca had no intention of admitting it.

Adrian was exasperated.

She had laid her cards on the table but gotten nothing of equal

value in return. For a businesswoman like Rebecca, that didn’t

sit well.

So she decided to ask him instead.

“What about you?”

“What about me.”

After a moment of hesitation, she managed to say with difficulty, “You said you… wanted me. Wasn’t that also just lust at first sight?”

Adrian: …

So that’s what she thought.

Adrian stared at her. The mountain breeze gently rustled the

hair on his forehead, but his eyes were as still as a deep pool.

“Rebecca.”

He suddenly let out a very soft laugh, tinged with self–mockery.

“Am I that shallow in your eyes?”

“You’re the one who said it!”

Rebecca was annoyed. “You said all men are the same.”

Adrian sighed inwardly.

She had completely misunderstood him, yet she was acting all

self–righteous.

He turned to the side to face her, the distance between them

closing in an instant.

So close that Rebecca could see the faint shadow cast by his

eyelashes and feel his warm breath on her skin.

“If it were just lust, I would have played along the first time you

approached me with an agenda.”

His voice suddenly dropped low, like a lover’s whisper.

“If it were just lust, the day you forced a kiss on me, I would have deepened it without hesitation.”

His fingertips brushed almost imperceptibly against the back of

her hand, which rested on the grass.

“If it were just lust… that night, do you really think you could

have gotten away?”

His gaze locked onto hers, leaving her no room to escape.

After saying this, his eyes slowly fell to her lips, lingering for a

moment.

His gaze felt so real it made Rebecca’s lips feel slightly dry, her heart pounding like a drum.

Rebecca’s heart clenched, her mind thrown into chaos by the
