Chapter 4
His blond hair shone like sunshine in the winter, casting a warm and soothing glow that put people at ease.
His handsome face seemed to have been chiseled by God himself, resembling an exquisite sculpture.
For some reason, Ivy became restless.
She longed to get close to this mysterious man.
“Honey, get closer to him!” she shouted at me with unconcealed excitement.
I was confused, but I ignored Ivy’s urging because I noticed the red wine stain on the man’s clothes.

I looked him up and down and wrinkled my nose in feigned scrutiny.
“Why? You’re not that charming.

With his ego on the Line, he narrowed his eyes at me and whispered, “Is that so?”
The next second, he pressed me against the wall with a glass of wine in one hand.
“Hmm…” Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
His ki*s was aggressive yet tender, which made me go limp in his arms.
He held my waist tightly and practically held me up.
With him so close to me, his intoxicating scent overwhelmed me.
Now I understood why Ivy was so restless.
