Chapter 36 I Don’t Want It

At least, she had some feelings for him, contrary to what she had said, right? That should mean that he

won and she lost.

“You are Jas’ husband. Please stop treating me this way. I’m begging you.” In the end, she couldn’t

resist his strength. Right before he was about to succeed once more, she couldn’t help telling him how

she felt.

At that moment, her pitiful gaze wavered him once more. Surprisingly, he actually let her go when it

was the most unbearable moment under the effect of the supplement

It was only after she heard the sound of the door closing that Catherine could truly relax.

He actually left. He spared her. A moment ago, she could feel his passion completely so it was

definitely tormenting for him to give it up just like that.

Since he hated her so, why would he be soft-hearted when he faced her? She didn’t want him to be

soft-hearted because it would shake her determination to hate him.

Lying quietly in bed, she began thinking about what happened tonight. Ryan was strange today. His This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

entire body felt like it was on fire and he was insanely strong the whole time when they had sex inside

the car.

Did he drink too much before that?

But it was impossible. He didn’t smell of alcohol. What was more, she had never seen him drink in the

past two years except for his wedding so he should have great self-control.

Suddenly, her thoughts shifted from his strange behaviors tonight to his inexplicable hatred for her.

From how her father reacted, she didn’t have anything to do with him, but Luca said that she was

asking the obvious question.

So, what was the truth behind it all? Was he the man by the hillside? Could she know everything if

she could clearly see that man’s face?

Closing her eyes, Catherine tried her best to recall the face of that man again but her head began to

ache once more. Since she went back to her parent’s house today, she gave Maria the day off so she

was alone in the apartment right now. At that moment, she didn’t dare to continue thinking for fear that

she would fall unconscious again like what had happened last time.

After taking a shower, she forced herself to sleep.

Perhaps it was because she was exhausted, but

Catherine slept so deeply that she didn’t even notice that Maria was back at around dawn.

Instead, she was awakened by the ringtone of her cellphone. From the ringtone, she could tell that it

was Jasmine calling her.

“Where are you, Cath? I’ll get Isaac to pick you up right now.”

“I’m at the apartment,” Catherine replied in a daze.

“What apartment? Aren’t you at home?” Jasmine found it strange since she knew that Catherine was a

conservative person who didn’t have a boyfriend. So, she shouldn’t be staying over elsewhere.

Upon hearing Jasmine’s question, Catherine completely woke up.

D*mn it! She was so sleepy earlier that she told her she was in the apartment in her daze.

Suddenly, Catherine sat up and gave it some serious thought. Then, she lied, “Yes, one of my ex-

colleague was celebrating her birthday yesterday. So, we drank till late and I ended up sleeping in her

apartment.”

“I see. You scared me to death! I was wondering what you were doing. Where is the apartment? I’ll get

Isaac to pick you up.” As expected, Catherine was such a decent lady, she wouldn’t do something like

that.

“It’s okay. Just tell me where to meet and I will go over.”

“Come on, Isaac has nothing to do anyway. Why are you standing on ceremony with me?”

“I’m not. It’s just that Isaac only wants to be

around you and I don’t want him hating me. Hurry up and tell me where we’re meeting. I’ll be there after

I wash up.”

Glancing at Isaac right beside her, Jasmine smiled silently and mentioned, “Let’s go to Paragon then.”

Initially, she wanted to go to that snack shop where they always met near that elementary school, but it

was too noisy there. Since she had something important to talk to her about, she had to find someone

quieter.

When they met, it was ten in the morning and Paragon just opened for business so they were their first

customers.
