A Warrior Luna's Awakening (Freya and Caelum) novel Chapter 31

Chapter31

Ginette’s face turned so red it seemed it might bleed, and she hurriedly snatched the box away.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at him at all.

“I didn’t buy it.”

Ginette hurried to explain and tried to walk around Lawrence.

Suddenly, her wrist was grabbed.

Lawrence gently pulled her by the hand, and her soft body was drawn into his arms. His large hand settled on her waist.

Her waist was slender, just enough to fit in his palm.

The fresh scent of her bath mixed with her natural fragrance lingered around his nose, intoxicating and alluring.

Lawrence’s burning gaze locked onto her flushed cheeks.“Buying something for sex isn’t shameful. Why not admit it?

“Or are you afraid I’ll be impotent?”

Ginette’s face grew even redder and hotter. She quickly broke free.“What are you thinking? It was a wedding gift from Melissa.”

She took a few steps back to put some distance between them, her heart pounding as if he were some wild beast.

Melissa was her best friend, and Lawrence knew that.

He hadn’t expected Ginette to be so easily teased. It made him more interested.“Since it’s a wedding gift, you shouldn’t waste her good

intentions, don’t you think?”

There was no way to get past this topic.

“She was just messing around.” Ginette’s ears burned, and she didn’t dare look at Lawrence. She ran off.

Lawrence couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh.

She was still as timid as before.

Lawrence took a shower, then went to the study to work, and told her to take a nap.

In the master bedroom, only Ginette was left.

She called Melissa.“You bought that kind of thing and didn’t tell me. Lawrence almost misunderstood.”

Melissa laughed mischievously. “That’s a good thing! It’s to spice things up for you two. You blockhead. I could understand if you had no chemistry with Alvin, but Lawrence is such a catch. How can you resist him?”

The heat that had finally faded returned.

Ginette’s face flushed again. She felt grateful that Melissa couldn’t see her, or she’d be teased even more.

But she suddenly remembered what Lawrence had said before. He’d tell her about it when he found someone he liked. Her heart sank.“To put it bluntly, what we have is just a partnership. We’ll get divorced sooner or later.”

Lawrence had just reached the bedroom door and was about to enter when he heard Ginette say this. His eyes instantly dimmed, and his slender, elegant hand froze in midair.

He lowered his eyes, withdrew his hand, and quickly turned to go downstairs.

Melissa was incredulous. “You don’t like him? Lawrence is rich and handsome, and the dream of so many women. If you don’t take advantage, it’ll be a waste!”

Like him?

Ginette couldn’t answer.

Compared to Alvin, she preferred Lawrence, whom she used to fear. He seemed cold and sharp–tongued, but was actually attentive and gentle with her.

He was like her older brother, always protecting her.

“I don’t hate him.”

Ginette said honestly, “He cares about my feelings. He’s more suitable than I imagined.”

Melissa clicked her tongue.“Ginette, you’re done for. You’re going to fall in love with him.”

Ginette just took it as her joking around.

“Anyway, take my advice. If true feelings are so fickle, it’s better to find someone handsome and good to you, even if you don’t love him. At least, your life will be comfortable, instead of suffering for someone you love.”

Melissa added with a wicked grin, “Of course, he has to be good–looking and strong.”

The meaning of the word “strong” was clear.

The heat that had subsided in Ginette’s face flared up again, and her ears burned again.

“Your mind is full of dirty thoughts. I’m not talking to you anymore. I have to work on my draft.” Ginette hurriedly hung up.

She took several deep breaths, but her face still felt burning hot.

It took a long time for the restless heat to subside.

Her phone rang with a call from an unknown number.

She glanced at it and immediately guessed who it was. It had to be Alvin.

She refused to answer, but the phone kept ringing.

Eventually, Alvin gave up and sent a text.“Ginette, answer the phone!”

“Bethany was hurt by you and needed several stitches. What you did was too much.”

“After we get the marriage certificate tomorrow, you need to apologize to her, or our relationship won’t last.”

His arrogance was obvious. It practically oozed from the screen.

Ginette could even imagine how distorted his expression must be right now, and how frustrated he looked when his calls were rejected.

Alvin had always been self–centered.

Especially since Ginette had been his simp for five years.

Now that she no longer revolved around him, he couldn’t stand it.
