The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 1412

Chapter 1412
Johnny’s face instantly darkened, but Taya couldn’t figure out which words had upset him. She asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Johnny turned his head away. “That woman is obviously brought by Holden, it can’t be Edith. Why did you lie to me?”
He couldn’t remember what these people looked like, but he always made an effort to remember the people around Holden. He could remember them fairly well.
That woman had a pair of unique fox-like eyes, while Edith’s face was fuzzy and lacked any distinctive features. So that
woman definitely wasn’t Edith.
Taya knew everything, she was just keeping it from him. The only possible reason for that was because Griffon was working for S, and she was trying to protect him.
Taya was surprised. Wasn’t Johnny face-blind? How could he remember Emelyn’s appearance after seeing her only once?
As she pondered how to dispel Johnny’s doubts, he suddenly took a step forward.
He got too close, causing Taya to instinctively take a step
back. She accidentally stepped on a pebble, causing her to
lose her balance.
Just as she was about to fall, a fair hand reached out,
supporting her waist and stabilizing her.
After Taya regained her balance with Johnny’s help, she thanked him. But Johnny discreetly put the hand that had
touched her behind his back.
Not sure if it was due to the hot weather or nervousness, his
palms started to sweat.
Taya explained softly, “The person who just came was really Edith. If you don’t believe it, I can call her in front of you.”
Johnny’s gaze remained fixed on her slender waist, his mind filled with the image of him embracing her earlier…
His fingers not only held her soft and delicate waist, but also
touched her fragrant flowing hair. The sensation of those fine strands between his fingertips seemed to resonate with his heartstrings. In just a few short seconds, he became captivated by it. Even after he regained his composure, he couldn’t bear to let go…
His mind kept replaying this scene, causing him to completely miss what Taya was saying. It wasn’t until she raised her
delicate hand and waved it in front of him that he slowly came
back to his senses. “Hmm? What?”
Taya sighed helplessly, “So you didn’t hear anything I
explained. I wasted my breath.”
Johnny asked, “What did you explain?”
Taya tilted her head and looked at him, “Johnny, are you just looking for trouble?”
Only then did Johnny remember that he had come to investigate the whereabouts of S members. But Taya had disrupted his thoughts, making him feel irritated. He looked at her with a displeased expression and said, “I told you to stay
away from me!”
