Chapter 2775

Tia blanked out and froze when she felt a warm sensation on her.

Once Stanley had checked Tia’s temperature and confirmed that she was not sick, he frowned and asked, “Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?”

Tia’s temperature was normal, but she did not look comfortable at all in Stanley’s eyes.

“Tia?” Stanley called out to her again when he did not get a response the first time.

‘Em, huh?” Tia snapped out of it and looked at him.

What the both of them failed to realize was that their faces were inches away from one another, and as expected, Tia’s lips accidentally grazed Stanley’s cheeks.

Shocked by what she just did, Tia backed off and shivered as her mind erupted into chaos. Stanley, who did not see this coming at all, was also left in a daze.

The atmosphere in the car became even more awkward than ever, but then, there was also a sexual tension that was not there before.

“Ugh.” Stanley coughed, being the first to snap out of his stupor.

He then repositioned himself and said, “Let’s go home.”

“Yeah,” Tia replied softly, overwhelmed by feelings of nervousness and embarrassment.

Stanley remained uneasy as his mind repeated the flashback of the scene that had just occurred.

Throughout the journey, neither of them uttered another word, and returned home in total silence.

After they had arrived, Tia murmured, “Bye. I’ll head in first.”

Tia then rushed to the back of the house, breaking into a sprint halfway through.

Stanley got out of the car as well, and he unconsciously lifted his hand up to his cheek as he watched Tia disappear into the house.

Tia was drowning in embarrassment, and her mind just would not let up on the incident when she returned to her room. ‘How could I be so dumb!? Why did I even do that? How awkward is it going to be the next time I see him!?’ Overwhelmed with shame, Tia tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

Clearly, a restful night was out of the question for Tia. However the same could be said for Stanley, who was also having a hard time trying to fall asleep.

The courtyard lit up with the beams from the headlights as Nicole returned home. After parking the car, Nicole got out, giving Patricia the go-ahead to leave.

“Come to think of it, I should return home. Bye, Nicole. I’m not staying here tonight,” Ellar informed.

Knowing that Ellar had other intentions, she raised her brows.

“Rest well, Nicole. Don’t worry, I’ll send Patricia back safely,” Ellar said without looking at her.

This prompted Nicole to roll her eyes at him. “Are you sure you’d like to send her back?”

“Yep, I’m going straight to her house,” Ellar said confidently.

Unable to put up with his crap any longer, Patricia shouted,” Quit it with your nonsense! There’s no way you’re going to my house!”

“Ugh,” he groaned, his confidence waning in an instant.” What I meant was, I’ll drop by your place first.

I’ll take a cab back home after I’ve made sure you’re back home safely.”

Patricia was annoyed and strongly suspected that Ellar was irritating her on purpose.

“Nicole, you should head back to rest,” Ellar reminded her. He then directed Patricia, “Let’s go.”

Gnashing her teeth, Patricia glared at Ellar before she brought the engine to life.

She mentally swore to herself that this would be her last meeting with Ellar, as she never wanted to see him again.

And upon noticing that the car was speeding off faster than usual, Nicole began to hope for the best.

Patricia seemed to be in a bad mood, and that was something Ellar should definitely brace himself for.

Then, she turned back, entered her house, and got into her room.

“You’re back,” Jared, who was at the desk with his computer, remarked upon noticing her return.

“Why are you not asleep yet?” Nicole asked, and approached him.

“I was waiting for you.” Jared pulled her into his arms.
