‘Enough of the bullshit!’
‘I told him that we are star-crossed lovers from abroad who are in love with each other but faced strong opposition from our families so we eloped and have been wandering ever since. Due to time constraints, we cannot stay here for a long time, but your greatest desire is to see this cathedral in person, so I brought you here in the middle of the night. I then begged him to grant his wish.’
‘You are truly shameless for lying at will!’
‘Didn’t I do it because of you?’ Eric argued convincingly.
‘Hmph! Who would believe that?
‘Lilian, why don’t we stay one more day in Frankfurt tomorrow and visit Waldspirale the next day?’
‘No, I want to go visit Waldspirale right away.’
‘All is well then. We’ll do as you say.” Eric relented. We stayed at the top of the tower for half an hour before heading out.
Eric kept his hand in mine as we walked down the stairs. When the cathedral caretaker saw us leaving, he greeted us warmly with a smile on his face. From the look in his eyes as he looked at us, I could tell that Eric must have actually said something to that effect before.
After leaving the cathedral, we headed back to the hotel where we were staying. Getting into the elevator, I asked him, ‘Have you booked a room?’
‘Do I need to book a room?’ My heart leapt into my throat at that remark. Don’t tell me he’s planning on sharing a room with me? No, I have to stop him from doing this! Upon exiting the elevator, I accelerated and quickly unlocked the room door with the key card. Eric wanted to follow me, but I moved faster than he could and pushed him out the door before slamming it shut.
‘Open the door, Lilian!’ Eric’s angry voice sounded outside the door.
‘Can not do.’
‘Open quickly! I haven’t booked a room for tonight,’ he coaxed.
‘That’s your business.’ Does he want me to open the door and let him in? When hell freezes over!
‘You despicable woman! How dare you do this to me? Eric hissed through gritted teeth outside.
‘President Walker, you taught me not to just let a man into my room at night,’ I retorted.
‘You win!’ After releasing this remark, his footsteps disappeared.
A smug smile bloomed on my face, and then I went to shower, radiantly glowing. When I opened the bathroom door after my shower with a bath towel wrapped around my body, I was surprised to see Eric in the bedroom, smiling at me as he sat on the bed. ‘H-How did you get in?’
‘Why don’t you guess?’ He looked me up and down, his smile turning evil.
‘Eric Walker, how could you enter someone else’s room without permission?’
‘Somebody? Does this apply to us? Don’t tell me you forgot what we did in this room before?
‘You bastard!’
‘Say, Lilian, must you be so cruel to me? Leaving aside the fact that we’re intimately familiar with each other, you shouldn’t have thrown me out like that, even though we’re mere acquaintances. Do you think it’s appropriate to reduce me to sleeping on the street?
‘I can’t believe you can’t get a hotel room!’
‘But that’s the truth. I only came looking for you because I couldn’t get a hotel room. Otherwise, why would I need to put up with you?’
Chapter 453
‘Who are you kidding?’ I didn’t believe him. “You don’t know how to ask Jenny to book you a hotel room?”
“I asked her to reserve one for me, but she told me they are all full. You can ask her if you don’t believe me.
‘Do you take me for a fool? You two must be in cahoots.
‘In collusion? Do we need to do this to fool a dumb woman like you?
‘Are you still denying it? How did you get my room key card if you didn’t collude with Jenny?
‘It was simple. I told reception that I’m her husband, and you locked me out of the room in a fit of resentment. Since I knew how to recite her passport information accurately and, of course, I’m also too good-looking to look like someone who would lie, the receptionist unreservedly opened the door for me.
I nearly burst a blood vessel hearing that.
‘You are getting more and more audacious for daring to lock me out. So all the work I did was in vain, right? You must make it up to me!’
