Chapter 1395 Coincidence

“Spit it out!”

“I want to marry into a wealthy family and live a comfortable life. I wish to build a good relationship with your family so that we can get along well in the future! We’ll build a close and loving family!”

Juan did not believe a single word Sally said. He scrutinized her and remarked, “You’re so good at lying now!”

Of course I’m lying! Otherwise, how am I going to achieve my aim? Just then, Sally realized that even Nicole had started to doubt her motive, too.

When Nicole and Sally were chatting in the office earlier, Nicole kept asking her about her tough life during her childhood. Although those questions sounded normal, Sally could sense that Nicole was suspecting her.

She realized she had to take action in advance.

At night, Juan told Kyle about how cunning Sally was. He exaggerated and warned Kyle to be more cautious of Sally in the future.

A smile appeared on Kyle’s handsome face. As expected, Sally is no ordinary woman. It turns out that I’m not wrong. She’s really quite interesting.

“W-What are you thinking about? Did you hear what I just said?”

Juan’s words pulled Kyle back to reality. He lifted his head and shot Juan a glance. “Don’t tell me that you can’t even handle a woman.”

Juan stammered, “I… Don’t you underestimate women. Some of the pretty ladies are eloquent. Not only that, they are good at lying too! These women are known as the vixens. We can’t underestimate their power, or we’ll suffer terrible losses.”

“Aren’t you exaggerating?”

“You don’t believe me?” Juan slammed the table upon seeing Kyle’s disapproving expression. “Fine. Since you don’t believe my words, you should go give it a try next time!”

Initially, Juan thought that Kyle was not interested in having ties with any woman because he was a cold man. To his surprise, Kyle put his cup on the table and responded with a firm voice, “Sure!”

Juan thought he had misheard him. He furrowed his brows and asked, “You really want to go?”

“I want to find out the truth. I’m also interested to know whether that woman is a vixen or a bunny.”

It seemed to Juan that there was something fishy going on between Kyle and Sally. Juan reminded him, “Then you should be more careful.”

The corners of Kyle’s thin lips curled into a smirk. Sally is the one who should be more careful.

On the other hand, Stephen, who had been keeping distance from Nina on purpose, was dispirited lately. He stared blankly out of the window from time to time.

Melanie noticed that Stephen had changed. Seeing his dazed look, she felt a little uneasy, as she did not know what was on his mind.

Moreover, she was afraid that Stephen would turn into another person. It felt as though there was a barrier between them. They stopped talking that much to each other, and they were not as close as how they used to be.

Stephen stopped waking up in the middle of the night to design a blueprint for Nina. He also spent more time with Melanie now. However, Melanie could sense that his heart was further from hers now.

She knew that she had to think of a way to improve their relationship. If they became more and more distant from each other, her relationship with Stephen might not last long.

With that, she approached Stephen and asked gently, “The weather is good today. Since you don’t have to work today, how about we go somewhere for a date?”

Stephen regained his senses. He replied nonchalantly, “Sure.”

Melanie was sensitive. She instantly noticed his smile that never reached his eyes. Moreover, his gaze was dismissive.

“I’ll go and get changed now.”

“Okay.”

After Melanie got changed, Stephen drove her to Yester Mall, the place Melanie always wanted to visit.

Coincidentally, they bumped into Nina when they were shopping for clothes.

“What a coincidence! Are you here to shop, too?” Nina greeted them.

Melanie nodded as she hugged Stephen’s arms. “Stephen brought me here. He said that many of the clothes here are suitable for women with a great figure, just like me.”
