Chapter 556

Wendy asked, "Didn't your girlfriend leave? She went to the capital, right?"

Jack was taken aback. "How did you know?"

Feeling wronged, Wendy pouted and said, "I've been keeping tabs on her. I can't help it. After all, she was your girlfriend!"

"If you look into her again, I'll make you regret it," Jack said sternly, pushing Wendy away.

Wendy was startled by Jack's anger and said pitifully, "I was just paying more attention to her. I didn't look too deeply into her and wouldn't dare to bother her."

Thinking about how Jack had treated her because of Bella, Wendy felt a sense of grievance.

Meanwhile, Jack thought he might have overreacted. After all, he believed that Wendy would never harm himself or Bella.

Riddled with guilt, he said to Wendy, "I'm sorry."

Wendy felt aggrieved, but that gnawing feeling dissipated after receiving Jack's apology. A charming smile appeared on her face as she leaned closer to Jack and asked, "Is that it with your apology?"

Jack asked cautiously, "What else do you want?"

Wendy giggled and asked coquettishly, "Can I get a kiss from you?"

"Don't do this, Wendy. I have a girlfriend," Jack said, rejecting her request.

However, Wendy wasn't backing down. "Hmph! I can't believe you still see her as your girlfriend. For all we know, she might have fallen into someone else's arms by now, whispering sweet nothings in another man's embrace."

She intentionally tried to provoke a reaction from Jack. When she saw his darkened expression, she quickly comforted him, saying, "Don't think about her anymore. You have me now."

Then, she kissed Jack deeply.

Jack tried to push Wendy away, but she moved like a nimble serpent, wrapping herself around him tightly, refusing to let go. Her rosy lips skillfully roamed over Jack's, wild and assertive.

Her experience studying abroad had allowed her to maintain her reserved side while embracing the culture's boldness abroad, making it impossible for Jack to resist, especially now, when he was at his lowest emotionally. His greatest fear was someone taking advantage of his vulnerability.

Jack, being a man of deep emotions, found it hard to resist how captivating Wendy was. Today, she had gone out of her way to dress up for him, making her even more breathtaking.

Finally, Wendy asked softly, "Will you drink with me?"

She leaned into Jack's embrace and took a deep breath, as if she wanted to inhale every breath of his essence into her soul.

Before Jack could respond, Wendy had already pressed the service bell. Soon, the waiter came with two bottles of red wine, and Wendy filled both glasses to the brim.

Then, with a shy smile, she suggested, "Let's make a toast, okay?"

Jack felt conflicted. On one hand, Wendy was like a poppy flower-beautiful but dangerously intoxicating. On the other hand, a deep sense of moral conflict gnawed at him.

Although Bella had left without saying goodbye and their relationship may have run its course, he knew very well the reason that had caused their breakup. Before officially breaking it off with Bella, he shouldn't have been involved with another woman.

Wendy saw right through his struggle. She scoffed and asked, "Do you think rejecting me will maintain your innocence? Don't forget what we did that night. From that moment on, there was no turning back for us. Our relationship will never be as innocent as it was before."

Jack had no response to that.

Wendy was right. There was no turning back for them the moment they crossed that boundary.

Intoxicated, Wendy held Jack tightly. She drank half of the wine in her glass before tilting forward, letting the remaining half flow into Jack's lips.

Her eyes were hazy with intoxication as she murmured, "Troublemaker, let our hearts beat in rhythm with the night. I love the feeling of being with you! You're incredible in every way, whether it's your skills... or your body..." This text is hosted at finḑnovel.net

As she spoke, she gently sat on Jack's body and began to undress him.

The weather outside suddenly changed. It started with a gentle drizzle, but gradually turned into a raging storm, making the atmosphere even more intoxicating.
