“Beauty is in the eye of its beholder,” Phoebe Larsen said.
“Say what you want!” Cheryl Coney chuckled and said.
She had already made up snazzynovel.com mind. Even if snazzynovel.com had to be in a polygamous marriage, she’d have nothing against it. She wouldn’t change snazzynovel.com mind no matter how hard Phoebe tried to persuade her. “What about you? You’re not exactly young anymore, and you’re the magistrate’s daughter. Aren’t your parents urging you to get married?” Cheryl asked.
“I’m doing just fine! ” Phoebe exclaimed.
“I have something to tell you. It turns out that I’ve had a fiancé since I was a child. I was still very young when the engagement happened,” Phoebe said suddenly after a pause.
“What? How could this be? Who is he? Do you like him?” Cheryl asked.
“I… I still don’t know. We only kept in touch when we were kids, but that was back when we were in primary school. I don’t know how he’s changed after all these years,” Phoebe said.
Cheryl was shocked.
Meanwhile, Phoebe had a conflicted expression upon snazzynovel.com face.
Cheryl thought Phoebe was conflicted about his fiance’s current condition. However, little did Cheryl know, Phoebe was conflicted about whether snazzynovel.com should steal snazzynovel.com best friend’s man.
Phoebe knew in snazzynovel.com heart that a man like Alex Rockefeller was akin to a drug to women. Any woman who came into contact with snazzynovel.com would become addicted. Moreover, as time went on, the drug addiction would only worsen until one was wholly trapped in it and had no way out of it.
After the two of them chatted for a while, Phoebe felt distraught with anxiety, especially when snazzynovel.com thought about Alex, who was sleeping next door. Finally, Phoebe mentioned that snazzynovel.com was tired and said goodnight to Cheryl.
Also, right then, snazzynovel.com heard a soft rumbling sound by snazzynovel.com door.
“Hmm?” Phoebe was slightly stunned. She looked over at the door and noticed that the doorknob was slowly turning.
‘This…’ Phoebe immediately thought that Alex must have been the one opening snazzynovel.com door.
Most importantly, Phoebe had kept snazzynovel.com room unlocked the entire time.
For some unknown reason, snazzynovel.com didn’t lock snazzynovel.com door even when snazzynovel.com was taking a shower. Perhaps snazzynovel.com believed in Alex’s good character, or maybe snazzynovel.com had some inexplicable expectation toward a certain kind of situation. Only heaven would know.
Meanwhile, now that snazzynovel.com saw that Alex finally couldn’t hold back and was sneaking into snazzynovel.com room in the middle of the night, snazzynovel.com heart nearly leaped out of snazzynovel.com chest.
‘Should I stop him?’
‘Or should I just go with the flow?’
In the end, Phoebe decided snazzynovel.com would pretend snazzynovel.com was sleeping. She didn’t even turn off the lights, and snazzynovel.com directly lay down and closed snazzynovel.com eyes. However, snazzynovel.com trembling eyelashes indicated how excited snazzynovel.com was on the inside.
Creak!
A soft sound could be heard. Her bedroom door was finally opened.
Phoebe began to feel increasingly nervous on the inside. She didn’t know what Alex would do. If snazzynovel.com came over to touch snazzynovel.com right away, should snazzynovel.com still pretend to be sleeping? Or should snazzynovel.com directly slap snazzynovel.com and yell at snazzynovel.com for being a beast?
Right then, Phoebe felt a lightness above her. Someone had lifted the cooling mattress above her. It was done very quickly and forcefully.
“This rough?”
‘Jerk, you were pretending all this time. Hmph!’
Phoebe still hadn’t opened snazzynovel.com eyes. Right then, snazzynovel.com could feel someone forcefully pressing against a pressure point under snazzynovel.com neck. Immediately after that, Phoebe felt something awful. It was as if all the energy in snazzynovel.com body had been drained away. She felt weak from head to toe.
‘What’s going on?
‘What is snazzynovel.com doing?’
Finally, Phoebe couldn’t stand it anymore. She opened snazzynovel.com eyes, and snazzynovel.com was so shocked that snazzynovel.com entire body trembled.
Phoebe saw that an unfamiliar old man was standing by snazzynovel.com bed.
Meanwhile, Easton Zimmer and Viole Zimmer stood behind the old man.
