Chapter 538
As Lydia stepped out of the restroom, that foreign man was already waiting for her in the narrow aisle, blocking her way.
He leaned lazily against the cabin wall, the serpent tattoo coiling around his arm glinting with a sinister blue-black hue under the dim lighting.
“Hey, beautiful.” He flashed a cocky grin, eyeing Lydia up and down. “Can I get your number?”
“I’m afraid not,” Lydia said firmly, trying to sidestep him, but he shifted his shoulder to block her path.
The man’s face darkened as he suddenly grabbed her wrist. “Don’t push your luck when I’m being nice to you,” he snapped.
Lydia winced in pain, her brows knitting together. She was just about to lash out when crisp footsteps echoed behind her.
Aria suddenly appeared in the aisle, tapping the cabin wall with her fingertips. “Move. You’re in the way.”
“Can’t you see I’m busy here? Beat it!” The man’s face darkened as he shot her a menacing glare.
Lydia took two steps sideways, shielding Aria as she faced the man. Through gritted teeth, she said, “Fine, I’ll give you my number now.”
The man sensed Lydia’s yielding. Getting her contact info was no longer enough for him. A lewd grin spread across his face as he leered at her, “Why don’t you keep me company right here?”
Lydia’s face darkened with fury. “You…”
Aria pulled Lydia aside, met the man’s gaze, and asked, “Looking for some company?”
The instant the man saw Aria’s face, his eyes lit up, his gaze turning lecherous as he licked his lips. “You’re even hotter. Why don’t you dump your boyfriend and come with me instead…”
This foreigner was the very man who had nearly run into Lydia earlier.
The trio’s stunning looks caught his eye the moment he boarded. Noticing that the girl was clearly with the man, he set his sights on Lydia instead.
Aria smirked. “Looking for some company?”
He raised an eyebrow. “Yeah, it’s a long flight to Masmubia. Would be a shame not to have some fun along the way.”
Aria turned toward the restroom, glancing back as she crooked a finger. “Follow me.”
The young man let out a wolf whistle in excitement and stumbled eagerly after her.
As soon as the door locked shut, Lydia snapped back to reality and rushed toward the cabin.
Gasping, Lydia grabbed the back of the front seat. “Owen! A foreign guy is harassing Aria-they just went into the restroom!”
Owen leisurely closed his magazine, not even raising an eyebrow. “It’s fine. She can handle herself,” he said.
Lydia blurted out, her voice tinged with worry, “But that guy…”
The plane suddenly jolted with turbulence as the intercom crackled to life. “Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seatbelts immediately.”
Lydia nearly stumbled into Owen’s arms when the plane lurched, but with lightning reflexes, he unbuckled his seatbelt and shifted aside, leaving her to brace herself against the seat instead.

Owen averted his gaze, stepped around her, and headed toward the restroom. In a cool, detached voice, he said, “I’m going to check on my girlfriend.”
Lydia snapped back to reality, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.
How could she have forgotten that Owen already had a girlfriend now?
