Rural Belle & Three Heirs

"Philip, you gotta believe me. Michael and I are just colleagues, nothing more..."

Rena was still trying to explain herself.

Philip looked up, his face showing complete disbelief.

He wasn't new to relationships; he could read the dynamics between men and women

easily.

That nightgown Anissa was holding earlier? It was clearly Rena's size. And she was still denying it? She was really underestimating his intelligence.

Just then, Michael walked over to Rena and wrapped his arm around her possessively, pulling her into his embrace.

"Heh... you guessed right. We are in that kind of relationship."

"We've been together for three months now..."

Michael didn't like the word "together," but he used it to make it clear to Philip where Rena stood.

Rena's face turned bright red.

Philip looked at the couple in front of him and couldn't help but chuckle.

After sizing them up for a moment, he plopped down on the living room sofa.

"Since we're all friends here, let's talk business."

"Oh? What do you want?" Michael asked, eyeing Philip suspiciously.

Suddenly, Philip made a bold move. He stepped forward, grabbed Michael's arm, and started speaking in a playful, almost begging tone.

"Mike, Rena and I are classmates. We're close, and I'm a pretty good actor. Don't you think you could give me a raise?"

"And another thing, I'm new to the industry and haven't landed many lucrative roles. Last time we went swimming, Rena and Chloe teamed up and tricked me out of a $100,000 VIP card. Mike, have some pity on me. If you have any resources, could you hook me up?"

"Mike..."

Seeing Philip's antics, Rena and Michael couldn't help but laugh.

They had thought Philip was going to blackmail them, but it turned out he had transformed from a third-rate actor into a comedian.

Chloe's small company really knew how to nurture talent.

Meanwhile, Anissa stormed out of Michael's villa and angrily got into her car. Once inside, she ignored the driver and started ranting about Michael. "Michael, are you trying to drive me insane?"

"Finding a man to be your wife? You're getting more outrageous by the day."

The more Anissa ranted, the angrier she became. The driver, who had worked for the Martin family for a long time, didn't want to hear her complaints and tried to calm her down.

"Please don't be upset. Mr. Martin did go a bit overboard."

"But if you think about it, it's better than him finding an animal, right? At least his assistant can give him a child, isn't that better?"

"If you consider it that way, you won't be so angry."

The driver's words only made Anissa angrier.

She had raised her son to be a distinguished gentleman, an elite. Finding an animal? Finding a man?

What had she done in a past life to deserve such a son?

Compared to the chaos with Michael, things were much quieter with Chloe and Grant.

When Chloe woke up, she saw Grant lying beside her, his hand supporting his head as he stared at her.

Chloe reached out and gently brushed his handsome face, then snuggled closer to him.

Once she found a comfortable position, she wrapped her arms around him and closed her eyes again.

Grant didn't move, letting Chloe's small hand rest on his waist.

Holding Chloe felt like holding a precious treasure he had regained.

"Grant, why were you staring at me earlier?" Chloe asked softly, her head buried in Grant's chest.

Grant replied, "Because you're beautiful..."

"I'm not beautiful."

"But I think you are."

Grant used his large hand to lift Chloe's head from under the covers and gently kissed

her lips.

Chloe's face turned a deep shade of red.

"Grant..."

"Yes?"

"Why did you kiss me?" Chloe asked in a sweet, childlike voice.

Grant thought for a moment and replied, "You can kiss me back, you know?"

"You're so annoying."

Chloe tried to push Grant away, but the difference in their strength was too great. She couldn't budge him.

Instead, Grant effortlessly lifted Chloe's slender body and placed her on top of him. Now, he was beneath her, and she was on top.

Early in the morning, Grant had completely dispelled Chloe's sleepiness. He knew exactly how to tease her.

Since Chloe's near-drowning incident, Grant had been careful not to overexert her during their intimate moments.

But after Chloe's disappearance yesterday, Grant was so worried that he wanted to keep her close and protect her.

Chloe looked at Grant's passionate expression and asked, "Grant, may I?" "Huh? What is it?"

Chloe leaned down and kissed Grant's lips, her kiss intense and full of desire. She removed Grant's pajamas and began making love to him, taking the lead.

An hour later, Chloe, drenched in sweat, was finally lifted from the bed by Grant.

He carried her to the bathroom, ran a warm bath, and carefully washed her, not missing a single spot.

By the time they were done, it was already 9:30 in the morning. Chloe, exhausted from the morning's activities, was starving.

She clung to Grant's neck and pouted, "Grant, I'm so hungry..."

Seeing Chloe's adorable expression, Grant suddenly thought of the term "vixen." He had always thought Chloe was pure, but now he realized he had misunderstood purity.

The Chloe in his arms was alluring, with a seductive charm that made him want to give her everything.

He held her waist and grinned mischievously. "Hungry? How about you eat me first?"
