Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee novel Chapter 275

Chapter 275 Kicked Out of Breath

Gavyn was at a loss for words. Pursing his lips, he silently placed his hand back under the blanket.

Aylin simply poured out all of the doubts she had kept in her heart. “Gavyn, I intended to ask you just now. I know your skills. How could you not be able to beat a few thugs?”

She paused and demanded in a deep voice, “I want to hear the truth.”

“I was a little drunk and distracted, so I didn’t notice that someone was behind me.”

He was indeed drunk, and only he knew how drunk he truly was.

Aylin remembered that he didn’t like to drink very much as he had stomach problems. Gavyn also restrained himself from drinking too much during social events.

“Why are you drinking alone?”

Gavyn looked over quietly with a kind of gaze that implied, “Don’t you know?”

What kind of look was that?

Could it be because of her?

Aylin frowned and her sharp gaze showed a trace of unhappiness. “Be serious. What kind of compensation do you want? Just tell me. Don’t joke around.”

Gavyn seemed to be waiting for her to ask this, and he did not display any embarrassment as if being exposed. He stated frankly, “I’m not short of money. I only need someone to take care of me overnight for now.”

Aylin looked back in surprise, almost suspecting what she had just heard.

He wanted her to stay overnight with him?

Aylin replied decisively, “Impossible.”

Gavyn had already expected her to refuse, so he narrowed his eyes and said,

“Or, you can kiss me and the matter will be over.”

Aylin was totally astounded!

What a horror story!

Aylin looked at Gavyn in disbelief. She now deeply suspected that the injury to Gavyn’s head was not as simple as a concussion.

“I wanted to have a proper conversation with you and you are still talking nonsense. It seems that you have recovered well. Then there is no need for me to stay. Goodbye!” Aylin got up and left.

She didn’t think he really wanted her company. Three years ago, no matter how much she tried to please him, Gavyn was not willing to show her any kindness. But now he’s the one seeking a kiss and mocking and taunting her so amusedly!

So childish and stupid!

As he noticed Aylin was about to stride away in her high heels, Gavyn’s expression changed. “Aylin!”

Aylin didn’t turn around, but before she took two steps, she heard a thud behind her, followed by a muffled grunt from the man.

Aylin tried hard to restrain her urge from turning around.

Noticing no response from her, Gavyn pursed his lips, his eyes red. He said sulkily, “If you want to leave so badly, then leave.”

“After all, I can handle myself alone. It’s none of your business.”

Aylin took a deep breath and turned around.

Gavyn sat on the ground, grimacing in pain as he clutched his leg. It was covered with bruises and abrasions, where iodine and ointment were applied. His skin was mottled with hardly a spot left unscathed.

To be honest, it was Aylin’s first time seeing Gavyn in such a mess. It was quite amusing.

She took a few steps forward speechlessly and leaned down to pull Gavyn. The man’s body paused slightly as raised his eyes to look at her. There seemed to be anger and resentment in his gaze. “Aren’t you leaving?”

Aylin glanced at him and bit her red lips slightly.

“Lloyd is not here. I’m worried that you won’t be able to cope with yourself.

After all, we have signed the cooperation contract. I don’t want to change personnel at the last minute.”

Gavyn’s face darkened.

“You are cursing me.”

“Just one night.”

Both of them spoke at the same time. Aylin still decided to stay and take care of him for the night as an apology for what Robert did.

Gavyn’s face instantly softened. “Fine, I reluctantly agreed for you to stay.”

Aylin was angry but felt funny at the same time.
