The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 338

Chapter 338 

When Haylan saw Lydia’s graceful and seductive figure as she walked in, he couldn’t help but swallow hard. 

For some reason, he thought he was attracted to Lydia. 

Under the effects of the tonic soup, he felt different. 

“Damn it, how did Mom know that Lydia was coming? She even made me eat the soup.” Haylan complained inwardly 

Lydia walked over and sat opposite Haylan, looking at the man with affection. 

“Ms. Riley, what brings you here?” Haylan asked awkwardly. 

“Didn’t you ask me to come over?” Lydia was surprised. 

“Huh?” Haylan was equally shocked. 

After he returned from the Zabels house, he had been wondering if he had slept with Grace and he had not contacted Lydia 

at all. 

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, “Did my mom call you?” 

Lydia nodded. “Your mother said that you wanted to see me. So, 1 canceled my shooting and came straight here. “See! Am La good friend?” 

She rested her chin on her hands and looked at Haylan adoringly. “By the way, what can I do for you?” 

Since she went hiking with Haylan in yoga pants last time, she had developed inexplicable feelings for him. 

When Haylan carried her down the mountain, she felt a sense of security she had never felt before. 

And his presence gave her the peace she had never found before. 

On the days when she didn’t see Haylan, she always felt as if something was missing. She felt lost and couldn’t eat or sleep. except for thinking about him all the time. 

Now that she had finally seen him, her heart was filled with joy. 

It felt like forever after not seeing him for one day and because of that, she knew that she must have fallen in love with him. 

So, when she received Felicia’s call, she put aside everything in the set and rushed over just to see him. 

“No…” Haylan burped when he was about to say something. 

Lydia’s gaze landed on the tonic soup in front of Haylan. Her expression changed slightly, and her face flushed. She was so embarrassed that she lowered her head. 

She looked at the ingredients in the soup and thought, “Isn’t this a herbal booster for men? 

“Is he going to ask me to eat these. Aren’t things moving too fast between us? 

“What should I do? Should I reject him? 

“He ate so much of the soup. Is he going to…” 

“No, Lydia, what are you thinking? You’re a beautiful decent lady. If you agree to him easily, will he think that you’re an easy woman?” 

“But why am I so looking forward to it? 

“Ahhh, this is driving me crazy!” 

Lydia lowered her head with a red face while letting her imagination run wild. She did not dare to look into Haylan’s eyes. However, she was full of anticipation, hoping that Haylan would hold her and pick her up in a domineering way. 

But Haylan did not make a move. He took a deep breath and started to work on his Internal Strength in an attempt to convert the energy of the tonic soup. 

To his appointment, he failed. 

His Internal Strength could absorb energy, but the essence of the tonic soup had been completely absorbed by him and reacted with his kidneys and other organs. No matter how he applied the Internal Strength, it achieved nothing. 

After all, the soup was not poison, so he could not expel it from his body. 

“Does Mom want to screw me up?” Haylan smiled bitterly as he thought. 

He looked at Lydia who was sitting opposite him and felt his heart beating faster and faster. 

Just then, Lydia also raised her head and looked at him. 

The eyes met 

Lydia’s face turned extremely red and her heart was pounding wildly, 

She could clearly see some affection in Haylan’s eyes, which was undisguised and as clear as day. She had seen it in the eyes of many actors before. 

She detested those actors as she felt that they were hypocrites who wanted to take advantage of her in the name of acting 

However, when she saw Haylan’s gaze, she did not resent it. Instead, her heart was filled with excitement and anticipation. 

“Um. Ms. Riley. have you eaten? Do you want to have some soup?” Haylan tried to start a conversation. 

After saying that, he regretted it. 

“The tonic soup is a supplement for men. What am I doing? 

“Asking Lydia to nourish herself as well?” 

Lydia looked at the tonic soup and saw a black mass floating on it. It felt strange. 

So, she quickly refused, “It’s fine. I already had breakfast before coming.” 

In order to avoid further embarrassment, she stood up and looked at Haylan lovingly. Tll take a shower first. You… you’d better be quick 

She uttered the last sentence in a voice as soft and murmurous as wings, 

After saying that, her face turned red and her heart was racing so fast that it almost jumped out of her chest. Thereafter, she left the room in a hurry. 

“Boom!” 

Lydia’s words were like a bolt from the blue, striking Haylan until he became charred on the outside.
