'Seductively beautiful.'
These two words came to Javier's mind the moment he saw the owner of that slender hand.
Her face was bathed in an orange glow, making her skin look soft and glowing. Coupled with her misty eyes and smooth rosy cheeks, she looked dazzling. He could faintly smell the scent of sweet wine from her. The way her long lashes moved slowly was intoxicating.
This beautiful face seemed familiar, but his eyes were soon attracted by the cherry red lips.
Those ruddy lips spoke. "You look nice. Would you like to spend the night with me?"
However, her words made Javier feel cold all over, as if a bucket of water was splashed over him.
What did she just say?
Javier's dazed eyes immediately regained composure. His face turned cold.
"Do you flirt with any man you see, Miss?" he asked coolly.
She might be a seductively beautiful woman. But what he hated the most were people who slept around like it was nothing, treating love as a part of such childish games.
For a principled and old fashioned person like him, this kind of thing could only be said to their trusted partners, or to someone they truly loved.
Alliana could feel the hostility from the man's deep voice. However, even though his captivating eyes looked at her with condemnation, for some reason, it just got her more excited. Seeing that his entire figure was stiff and on guard, it made the small devil in Alliana want to tease the man more.
She smiled seductively. Her phoenix eyes curved up slightly. "No. It depends on the face."
Her long and thin fingers rose and tapped on the side of his face.
Javier's eyes were dark. The spot where she touched was hot.
He pushed her hand away.
"Same with me. I flirt back depending on the face. Goodbye, Miss."
Javier walked away fast. Even though this mansion was big and it was his first time coming, he memorized his way.
Whoosh.
A lonely breeze swept past the hall.
"...." Alliana held the hand that he had pushed away.
Her eyes were wide. She was stunned.
What was that?
A man actually refused her? Did he just reject her?
Alliana blinked her eyes twice.
She could not believe it. For the first time, she, the woman whom everyone called a succubus, had a target that she had failed to seduce.
Was it because she was too fast? But it was the 20th century though.
Silence filled the living room for a long time. The candle lights flickered from time to time.
Alliana's eyes moved sideways and settled on the bouquet of flowers as well as the three boxes on the nearby table.
The handsome man said he was not their potential father, but their… uncle?
Alliana approached the box and untied the ribbon.
Inside, there was a set of branded colorful make-up sets that was popular for teenagers.
"..."
She opened another box.
The second one had a pink colorful diary and a set of cute cartoon pens.
"...."
And the third one even had a plushie in it.
"..."
Alliana stared at the colorful things on the table. She chuckled.
"Fufufu. What is this? Did he think that we are children? Did he only see my mom's picture? Hahaha." The sound of her sweet laughter echoed in the living room.
The smile on Alliana's face became more sincere as she laughed so much that tears came out of the corners of her eyes.
This man...was funny.
She took the flowers to her hands and smelled them. "Well, there is no need to hurry. I will surely meet him again. My 'uncle', huh."
****
Meanwhile, in the car, Javier has a dark face. He rubbed his palm on his face.
Who could have thought that he would have such a scary encounter in that eerie mansion? His brother did not mention that his fiancée had an eccentric sister.
Javier recalled the face and voice of the woman.
'Would you like to spend the night with me?'
Her sweet voice laced with such languidness made him almost unconsciously say yes.
What an enchantress!
Women like her...should better be avoided.
