Chapter 190
Rosalind thought, ‘Harassed?! I offered myself to him again and again, but he thinks that I’m harassing him?!’
“Justin… I’m your fiancée! How can you say that about me?” Rosalind’s eyes turned red
instantly, looking like she was about to cry.
“Rosalind, you know how much I hate overly intimate behavior.” Justin took a deep breath. His eyes were slightly cold.
“Yes, I know. I have always known…”
Justin was traumatized during his childhood, so he had never been able to have an intimate relationship with the opposite sex and express his desires like a normal man. This was not easy for him.
Otherwise, such an outstanding man as he would have been with other women when Rosalind was gone for three years.
“But since we got together again, you don’t seem to remember this.” Justin thought of Anna’s hateful eyes and clenched his fists.
He did not understand the emotions he was feeling at this moment because this was all new to him.
Justin felt as if he had done something wrong. He felt a vague sense of guilt, but he did not understand what he had done wrong.
He had never been so confused in his life.
“But Justin, I will marry you soon!”
Rosalind’s eyes were red as she took a step forward. She was a little hysterical. “We’re not children anymore. We can’t have a platonic relationship forever! I will sleep with you in the future and give you children!”
Justin exhaled deeply and subconsciously took a step back.
He thought that marrying Rosalind was what he had always wanted.
But why did he feel more panicked and reluctant the closer they were to their wedding day?
Suddenly, the door slammed open again.
Asher stumbled out of the banquet hall.
Justin thought that he seemed/drunk when he passed by them.
Rosalind hid behind Justin and curled her lips into a sinister smile.
On the other side, Bella had just changed back into her dress, removed her stage makeup, and walked out of the backstage area.
“Ms. Brown, something happened!”
The maid hurriedly walked up to her and said, “Mr. Thompson is feeling unwell and is resting in the guest room. You should go and see him. He seems very uncomfortable.”
When Bella heard that her eldest brother was not feeling well, she panicked.” Please lead the way!”
Justin and Asher left the table and did not return.
Ryan was bored sitting alone, so he got up and went for a walk outside.
The night sky was filled with stars. The garden was peaceful and quiet, with a small stream flowing under a small bridge.
Ryan saw antique street lanterns illuminating the garden. The soft orange light was beautiful.
In addition to the chirping cicadas, Ryan heard a rustling in the bushes.
Ryan narrowed his eyes and called out, “Who’s there?!”
However, there was no reply. He could only hear the cicadas chirping again.
He thought that it might be a cat hiding in the bushes.
Thus, he did not think much about it and turned to leave. At that moment, he heard a voice.
Ryan’s eyebrows twitched as he approached the voice warily with light footsteps.
His heartbeat quickened, and his Adam’s apple bobbed as he walked step by step to the bushes.
“Who’s in there? Come out!”
He barged in and widened his eyes in shock.
Ryan’s thin lips trembled. He was stunned. “Carrie?! Why are you here?!”
“I… I don’t know what’s wrong with me…”
“What’s wrong? Are you sick? You can’t hide out here!”
Ryan did not know what was going on, so he stretched out his arms to pull Carrie out of the bushes.
However, as soon as he touched her arm, he felt electrocuted.
At this moment, Carrie’s body was burning.
“Do you have a fever?!” Ryan asked anxiously. He was flustered.
“Help me…”
Carrie’s consciousness gradually blurred, and she could no longer see Ryan’s handsome face clearly.
“Carrie?”
