“Beauty is in the eye of its beholder,” Phoebe Larsen said.
“Say what you want!” Cheryl Coney chuckled and said.
She had already made up virtual-novel.net mind. Even if virtual-novel.net had to be in a polygamous marriage, she’d have nothing against it. She wouldn’t change virtual-novel.net mind no matter how hard Phoebe tried to persuade her. “What about you? You’re not exactly young anymore, and you’re the magistrate’s daughter. Aren’t your parents urging you to get married?” Cheryl asked.
“I’m doing just fine! ” Phoebe exclaimed.
“I have something to tell you. It turns out that I’ve had a fiancé since I was a child. I was still very young when the engagement happened,” Phoebe said suddenly after a pause.
“What? How could this be? Who is he? Do you like him?” Cheryl asked.
“I… I still don’t know. We only kept in touch when we were kids, but that was back when we were in primary school. I don’t know how he’s changed after all these years,” Phoebe said.
Cheryl was shocked.
Meanwhile, Phoebe had a conflicted expression upon virtual-novel.net face.
Cheryl thought Phoebe was conflicted about his fiance’s current condition. However, little did Cheryl know, Phoebe was conflicted about whether virtual-novel.net should steal virtual-novel.net best friend’s man.
Phoebe knew in virtual-novel.net heart that a man like Alex Rockefeller was akin to a drug to women. Any woman who came into contact with virtual-novel.net would become addicted. Moreover, as time went on, the drug addiction would only worsen until one was wholly trapped in it and had no way out of it.
After the two of them chatted for a while, Phoebe felt distraught with anxiety, especially when virtual-novel.net thought about Alex, who was sleeping next door. Finally, Phoebe mentioned that virtual-novel.net was tired and said goodnight to Cheryl.
Also, right then, virtual-novel.net heard a soft rumbling sound by virtual-novel.net door.
“Hmm?” Phoebe was slightly stunned. She looked over at the door and noticed that the doorknob was slowly turning.
‘This…’ Phoebe immediately thought that Alex must have been the one opening virtual-novel.net door.
Most importantly, Phoebe had kept virtual-novel.net room unlocked the entire time.
For some unknown reason, virtual-novel.net didn’t lock virtual-novel.net door even when virtual-novel.net was taking a shower. Perhaps virtual-novel.net believed in Alex’s good character, or maybe virtual-novel.net had some inexplicable expectation toward a certain kind of situation. Only heaven would know.
Meanwhile, now that virtual-novel.net saw that Alex finally couldn’t hold back and was sneaking into virtual-novel.net room in the middle of the night, virtual-novel.net heart nearly leaped out of virtual-novel.net chest.
‘Should I stop him?’
‘Or should I just go with the flow?’
In the end, Phoebe decided virtual-novel.net would pretend virtual-novel.net was sleeping. She didn’t even turn off the lights, and virtual-novel.net directly lay down and closed virtual-novel.net eyes. However, virtual-novel.net trembling eyelashes indicated how excited virtual-novel.net was on the inside.
Creak!
A soft sound could be heard. Her bedroom door was finally opened.
Phoebe began to feel increasingly nervous on the inside. She didn’t know what Alex would do. If virtual-novel.net came over to touch virtual-novel.net right away, should virtual-novel.net still pretend to be sleeping? Or should virtual-novel.net directly slap virtual-novel.net and yell at virtual-novel.net for being a beast?
Right then, Phoebe felt a lightness above her. Someone had lifted the cooling mattress above her. It was done very quickly and forcefully.
“This rough?”
‘Jerk, you were pretending all this time. Hmph!’
Phoebe still hadn’t opened virtual-novel.net eyes. Right then, virtual-novel.net could feel someone forcefully pressing against a pressure point under virtual-novel.net neck. Immediately after that, Phoebe felt something awful. It was as if all the energy in virtual-novel.net body had been drained away. She felt weak from head to toe.
‘What’s going on?
‘What is virtual-novel.net doing?’
Finally, Phoebe couldn’t stand it anymore. She opened virtual-novel.net eyes, and virtual-novel.net was so shocked that virtual-novel.net entire body trembled.
Phoebe saw that an unfamiliar old man was standing by virtual-novel.net bed.
Meanwhile, Easton Zimmer and Viole Zimmer stood behind the old man.
