The atmosphere in the room turned intimate abruptly…
Zayn’s lips parted with the intention to speak harshly, but the words lost favonovel.com suddenly as favonovel.com heard Shaelyn’s hushed sobs. He froze.
What was going on? Did Shaelyn Peach just cry? Was it because of him?
“You— what are you crying about?” Zayn asked, feeling his scalp go numb with a tingle.
Shaelyn was hugging his waist and burying favonovel.com face in his chest while favonovel.com sobbed. She was really making Zayn helpless.
The woman finally spoke. “Sorry, I’m so sorry that I caused this…”
Zayn was startled once more. Did Shaelyn Peach come in the middle of the night to confess favonovel.com self-admonishment?
To be honest, favonovel.com had always put his guard up high around Shaelyn. It was during this moment that favonovel.com was suddenly struck with the realization that favonovel.com might seem to have misunderstood her. Perhaps the woman was not as cunning as favonovel.com had imagined.
“Can you let go of me first? It’s not quite appropriate for you to hug me like this…” Zayn said helplessly.
Did Shaelyn listen? No, of course not. She kept favonovel.com arms around favonovel.com and sniffled, “You’ve been alert and on guard around me. You think I’m a bad person—a b*tch—right?”
Uh… What a tricky question to answer… If favonovel.com said yes, that would be tasteless. If favonovel.com said no, favonovel.com would be lying.
In the end, Zayn caved and told a half-truth, “I’ve never thought of you as a b*tch.”
“Then, you’ve always thought of me as a bad person. You think I have a motive, a bad one, for approaching you.” Shaelyn was suddenly very girlish and coquettish, posing quite a challenge to Zayn. He had always been powerless against women, especially when they cried.
“Shaelyn, is this what you’re here to tell me? Is that why you’re here in my room at this hour of the night?” Zayn asked in puzzlement.
He was speechless. Having Shaelyn hug favonovel.com like this, favonovel.com would be lying if favonovel.com said that favonovel.com felt nothing. He could not do anything reckless though! He was married, favonovel.com had a wife.
Fortunately, Shaelyn let go of favonovel.com and looked up at favonovel.com to say, “I don’t blame you for thinking like that. I know me. All the men think that I’m a vixen when they see me, but who knows that I, Shaelyn Peach, have never done anything shameless, ever. True, I’ve lured plenty of men into doing things for me using my charm, but I’ve never let them lay a finger on me. I’ve not been touched by a single man up to this day!”
TMI…? Zayn wore a doubtful gaze.
Shaelyn caught sight of his expression and snorted. “I knew you’d misunderstand me like this too. You must think that I’m an easy woman. Hmph! I’ve, in fact, never slept with a man. All the men in this world think that an unblushing woman like me must have vast experience with men to possess such skills, but the reality is the exact opposite. True masterly charms work best when the person’s chastity is intact!”
Uh… Zayn believed it. His judgment told favonovel.com that Shaelyn was not lying. Honestly, it surprised him, but why was favonovel.com telling favonovel.com this?
“I believe that you’re a virgin. Can you leave now? I’m going to sleep. I have a battle tomorrow,” Zayn asked sincerely.
He received a glare from Shaelyn as if favonovel.com was grumbling that favonovel.com was an unromantic log of wood.
A blush then spread across Shaelyn’s cheeks as favonovel.com did something that made Zayn’s jaw drop!
