After taking a shower, I started my skincare routine, and that's when Damon decided to walk in. I found it strange. Why did he start visiting my room more frequently after my reincarnation? "Why don't you want me to attend Sofia's engagement party?" Damon asked, standing beside my vanity table, his tone relatively mild. He casually leaned against the table, his long legs in black trousers towering over the tabletop. "I didn't say I didn't want you to. You're being oversensitive," I replied, feeling helpless. "Is it because Jones is also going?" Damon lowered his head, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. This expression usually indicated that he was in a bad mood. I felt a headache coming on. What was he talking about? What did Jones going have to do with me? "No. What are you trying to say? Just spit it out. We've never needed to beat around the bush." I gently circled my fingers on the face mask, then took out a massager and started massaging. "I've told you before, we can each have our own lovers, but you can't target the people around me. Did you forget so quickly?" Damon's aura suddenly turned cold, and his voice followed suit. I was speechless and confused, "Who said Jones is my target?" Damon silently looked at me. I took a guess, "Was it Mitch?" What happened last time at Wellness Oasis, that big mouth Mitch must have told Damon. Plus, the fact that I asked Jones to buy personal items for me in the past, it was bound to make Damon suspicious. He was a cunning man. Any abnormality could trigger his alertness. Despite his young age, he was as good as, if not better than, the seasoned foxes in the business world when it came to schemes. Aside from knowing each other's names and appearances, Jones and I really didn't have any connection. "Explain," Damon stood upright, hands casually in his pockets, looking down at me. "Explain what? I'm not close with him," I didn't want to explain.
"If you're not close, why does he suddenly have your contact?" Damon was very dissatisfied with my perfunctory attitude, and a hint of anger appeared on his handsome face, "Eliana, don't push my
buttons!" Taken aback by his anger, I shot him a glare, "Damon, are you here to pick a fight with me? I'm telling you, Jones contacted me first. Why don't you ask him why he has my number?" The photo of me and Joshua was sent to me by Jones. Otherwise, I wouldn't have his contact at all. I had asked him for his contact information before, but he didn't give it to me. Damon didn't say much, he picked up his phone and was about to call Jones. But I thought that was inappropriate. Jones was also unpredictable. What if he sent the photo of me and Joshua to Damon under questioning? Should I explain Joshua's identity to Damon? He probably already knew who Ariel's boyfriend was. All he had to do was look at the photo and he would find out that I knew Ariel's boyfriend. I didn't want to lose my advantage so soon. I wanted to tell him about it when his relationship with Ariel had deepened. "Damon!" I called out, then took off my mask, stood up and tried to snatch his phone away, "How could you do this? If I had something indecent with Jones, how could I still have a relationship with you?!" Damon seemed speechless at my response. He raised his hand and held the phone high where I couldn't reach. He replied coldly, "Who says a woman can't have a relationship with two men? What happened when I was on a business trip, how would I know?" As a modern Just as I have a relatively open view on sex, but I can't stand being maliciously slandered. To retort, the call went through. Jones's voice came through, "Hello?" I was so anxious that My eyes started to well up, feeling a great sense of defeat. I answered the call, but his eyes were fixed on me. When he saw that I was crying, he paused, then said to Jones, "Nothing, wrong number." Seeing Damon hang up the phone, I let out a sigh of relief, then crawled into bed and didn't want to deal with Damon anymore. Damon didn't say anything. I heard his footsteps heading towards the bathroom. Soon, I heard the sound of water. He wouldn't really want to sleep here, would he? I was anxious. Honestly, I didn't want to share a bed with Damon because I didn't want to get entangled with him and I was afraid my will would be broken. He had a great body, a handsome face, and was very charming. I had been infatuated with him for ten years. After reliving my life, I became a lot clearer, but that was based on Damon coldly abandoning me like in my past life. I knew the weakness of human nature. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to resist. After a while, what I feared happened, Damon really laid down next to me. "Damon, are you asleep?" I initiated the conversation. "No, what's up?" Damon asked calmly. "I want to talk to you." I turned over. Damon was lying flat, one hand under his head, eyes closed. I looked at his near-perfect side profile. Although my heart still pounded for him, my rationality told me to restrain myself. Damon made a sound, waiting for me to continue. I thought for a moment, then asked him, "Are you pursuing a young girl recently?" He opened his eyes, slightly turned his head to look at me, his eyes deep. "What do you want to say?" I "Nothing, I just heard your chat with Jones at the coffee shop that time, and knew about it, so I wanted to ask you, are you sincere about this girl? Is she different from the women you've been with before?" I asked curiously. I was calm inside. "Yes" The simpler Damon's answer, the more sincere it was. I paused, seeing the tenderness flash in his eyes. Was it because he remembered Ariel? "But she already has a boyfriend right?" I further inquired Damon's expression immediately turned unpleasant. He sneered, "As long as they break up, she won't have a boyfriend, right?" In my heart, I reckoned Damon's behavior seriously needed some improvements, and I felt sorry for Joshua. I wondered if there's been some beer recently Femme "Uh huh, you've got a point. Best of luck to you" I replied a tad awkwardly, then turned around and went to sleep, mulling over whether it should hit Joshua but it was a golden opportunity for me. If things between Damon and Ariel got more serious, then it's only fair that my relationship with Joshua stepped up a notch too. That seemed like a fair play too.
