"Knock! Knock!"
Someone was knocking on the door again.
Vanessa turned around to open the door. Upon seeing that it was Julien, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, the next moment, her heart skipped a beat. There was a sullen look on Julien’ s face. He looked extremely displeased.
Vanessa tried to plaster a sweet smile on her face, but even that was masked by the cold aura emanated from Julien. She immediately squeezed her way out of the room and pulled him closer, asking in a lowered voice, "What's that look on your face? What’s wrong?"
Before Julien could speak, Silvia's voice came from inside the room, "Vanessa, come in, quick! Don't keep me waiting."
Julien’ s expression darkened even more. There was an icy look on his face. His intense gaze made Vanessa feel chills running down her spine. "What’s wrong with you? Just spit it out. Stop staring at me like that. You're making me panic."
Julien put on his usual cold and detached demeanour, refusing to speak.
His silence made Vanessa mad. "If there's nothing else, I'm going back in to rest."
When she was about to turn and leave, Julien grabbed her wrist, asking, "What are you doing in the room with Silvia?"
"What else could we do besides sleeping?"
Julien muttered through clenched teeth, "You..."
Spotting his clenched fists, Vanessa finally caught on to what was happening. She couldn't help laughing and poked him in the chest, "Julien, you are jealous that I'm sleeping with Silvia, aren't you?"
Being seen through by Vanessa, Julien appeared flustered as he said, "Bring Lawrie out and follow me to another room."
Vanessa laughed and said, "Are you really jealous?"
"Quick."
"Silvia likes children. Why don’t we let her spend a night with Lawrie?"
"I don't feel comfortable with that."
"Why not? Are you afraid that she'll swallow me whole?" Vanessa said with a grin.
"So are you not going to carry Lawrie out from there?"
Vanessa couldn't believe the tone she heard from his voice.
It sounded like he was about to throw her off the second floor if she didn't bring Lawrie out right away. "All I'm going to do is to spend a night with Silvia. Why are you being so anxious? I can't imagine what you would do to me if I were to flirt around like you."
"What do you mean?"
"She even came to look for me. Are you still thinking that you can hide it from me?"
"Who was that? What did she tell you?"
