But it was good news for Lauren. She was very confident in her ability. As long as the man had a taste of it, he would realize Vera was nothing.
As Lauren thought of this, she said, 'Alright, I know you are shy. I won't say any more, but..." "Hm?" Vera looked at her, confused. She seemed rather curious as to what Lauren was going to say next. Lauren looked reluctant to speak. "I think I'd better not tell you. After all... it may not be true." Her words immediately piqued Vera's interest. If Lauren hadn't said it, Vera wouldn't have wanted to know. But since Lauren had said it, but now that she was tantalizing, Vera really wanted to know. Why couldn't she tell her? "Lauren, go ahead." "Do you really want to know?" Lauren looked at her with uncertainty.
"Mhm." Vera nodded.
"Alright, if you really want to know, I'll tell you then. I didn't want to say it, but... you helpedand stood up forat such a dangerous moment. You even broughthere, so I should tell you my thoughts." Vera was confused. She didn't understand what Lauren was trying to say.
"Lauren, what in the world do you want to say? Stop beating around the bush." Lauren coughed lightly and looked awkwardly at Vera. "Actually... couples don't behave like this. If a man likes you, he will desire you. But... never mind that you both aren't staying in the sroom when you travel together. You two even..." Lauren stopped herself. Although she didn't continue, Vera could sense that she was hinting at something else.

But maybe the reason he doesn't want to stay in the sroom with you isn't that he isn't interested in you, or that he doesn't like you very much. Perhaps he just respects you?" Lauren quickly changed her words. However, Vera had already taken it to heart.
Normally, if Vera thought carefully about it, she would be able to guess Lauren's intentions with ease. But at this moment, she was doubtful about their relationship.
Ever since she woke up and realized Quill had booked another room for himself, Vera had felt that perhaps he... did not love her as much as she had imagined. Although they had hugged and kissed... "Alright, Don't overthink it. I was talking nonsense just now. Don't take it to heart," Lauren said.
Vera forced a smile and said softly, "Don't worry, Lauren. I won't. It's getting late; you should get srest." "Okay." After Lauren went to bed, Vera took her clothes and went to take a shower. She stood with her back against the closed door and thought about what Lauren had said.
After a few minutes, Vera shook her head vigorously.
No! How could she let her imaginations run wild? It took a great deal for them to be together. Quill had a cold personality, but he had changed a lot since they started dating. The moment they confirmed their relationship, he had unbuttoned his shirt in front of her. It was only that Vera was so shocked she stopped him. He even said that he would wait for the right time.
He didn't sleep in the sroom as her, probably because it wasn't the right tyet! That must be it! After all, the two of them had not been together for long. She shouldn't overthink anymore! Soon, Vera threw these distracting thoughts behind and took a quick shower.
After she was done, Vera dried her hair as she walked out of the bathroom. Suddenly, she stopped.
Quill was in the room.
He was sitting on a chair with a cold expression on his face. Lauren poured a glass of red wine and said with a delicate voice, "Mr. Hanover, this is the wine I poured for you." As she spoke, she bent down and put the glass on the table next to Quill's hand. Vera didn't know if it was her imagination, but Lauren seemed to have rubbed her body against Quill as she bent down.
Noticing that her waist was about to touch Quill, Vera's eyes widened. Just as she was about to speak, Quill seamlessly avoided her contact.
He stood up and looked at Lauren with grim eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLauren was dumbfounded. She had pulled her collar down, deliberately lowered her voice, and lightened her footsteps as she walked to him. Not only did he not feel anything he even avoided? Was it unintentional, or? Lauren was unwilling to give up. Her physique was much better than Vera's. How could a normal man like him not be tempted? Just as Lauren was about to give it another try, Quill noticed Vera had cout from the bathroom. He turned to look at her and quickly walked to her before Lauren could get close.
"You're done?" Even though Quill's face was still cold when he faced Vera, his gaze and tone had softened a lot.
Vera didn't know what had happened. She stood there in a daze, staring blankly at Quill as he walked toward her.
"Mm." Vera nodded subconsciously at his question. She then glanced at Lauren before turning to Quill. "Why are you here?" Quill smiled faintly and stroked her head. "Go and pack your things." "Huh?" Vera looked at Quill, confused. "Pack my things?"
What happened? Why did he suddenly ask her to pack her things? If a If they were in a comic, Vera's head would've had a lot of question marks above her head.
"Just do it, okay?" Quill didn't explain further. Although Vera did not know what had happened, she still listened to Quill, She quickly wrapped her wet hair and packed her things. She hadn't brought many things, so it took her no tto pack up. When she walked over to Quill, he naturally took the suitcase from her. "What's wrong?" Vera couldn't stop herself from asking.
Although Lauren was smiling, she was obviously not in a good mood. She hurried forward and stared at the suitcase in Quill's hand. "What's wrong? Is it because I've caused you guys trouble? If that's the case, why don't I leave?" After saying that, Lauren turned around and was about to leave.
Quill didn't say anything. Vera felt bad and tried to stop her. "Lauren, wait a minute." X
