Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 246 - 213: Pretty Boy

Yasmine forced herself to smile like a blooming flower, knowing that only by pleasing The Devil would he not investigate whom she had come to The Imperial with. She truly didn’t want to implicate the innocent anymore.

Aaron Lynch slowly pulled away from her lips, a wicked smile curling on his lips, "Generally speaking, when you go to such lengths to please me, there’s usually an ulterior motive, hmm?"

His words made Yasmine’s heart pound fiercely. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

She told herself she couldn’t panic at this moment; whoever panics first loses.

"Today is my good friend’s birthday, and her boyfriend reserved the place. At first, I wasn’t aware; go ahead and check if you want. I haven’t done anything wrong."

Yasmine wore an expression of "I’m very innocent."

Aaron stared at her for a few seconds, and when he confirmed she wasn’t lying, the ominous look in his eyes gradually faded, "Good girl, you’d better not be lying to me."

"Of course!"

Yasmine answered with firm determination.

From now on, she must gather her inner strength and match wits with him.

Since the situation had reached a resolution, why not be smart about it and make her life easier?

The two stayed like this, quietly staring at each other. Yasmine wanted to look away, but Aaron’s dark eyes seemed to have some magic, binding her in place.

Fortunately, an urgent screech of the brakes saved her.

"Ah—"

Her soft lips happened to hit his stubbly chin, which hurt terribly.

"So painful!"

Yasmine glared angrily at the man, unaware that her gaze carried a trace of coquettishness.

Aaron thoroughly enjoyed her complaint, and his mood instantly brightened considerably.

Lowering his head, he sealed her tender, petal-like red lips without hesitation.

A week without seeing her, without touching her, his body and heart had begun to miss her.

Laura Quincy received Yasmine’s call by the afternoon of the next day.

"Laura, did you call for a reason?"

"Oh... nothing now. Yasmine, have you been well lately?"

"I’m doing alright! I read in the news recently that you were dating Fourth Young Master Hawthorne. Is he treating you well?"

Yasmine purposefully changed the subject. She really wanted to know, being in a relationship with such an exalted man, would one really be happy?

Laura was momentarily stunned, Fourth Young Master Hawthorne?

Recent news?

"Yasmine, I got into a minor car accident a few days ago and forgot some things."

Her tone was calm, as if the person she was talking about wasn’t herself at all.

Yasmine was also dumbfounded, a car accident? Forgetting some things?

Could Laura have forgotten Fourth Young Master?

She suddenly couldn’t believe such melodramatic things could happen to her friend...

Then she chuckled. The things happening to herself were no less melodramatic. Originally, she was a girl from a poor family struggling to earn money to treat her brother’s illness. She worked during the day and at night took on part-time jobs in places like nightclubs...

Simply because those places paid better and the tips from selling drinks could sometimes support her for a month.

Meeting Aaron Lynch was an accident, becoming his woman even more so unexpected...

Though he treated her well, to him she was nothing more than a pet that had to obey, with no talk of equality.

Thinking about this, a bitter smile appeared on Yasmine’s lips. Encountering such a distinctive man, she didn’t know if it was a blessing or a curse...

She softly asked, "Laura, do you still remember me?"

Laura nodded, "Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t be calling you."

Yasmine continued, "Did you forget Fourth Young Master?"

Laura hesitated and answered honestly, "Yes."

For a moment, Yasmine didn’t know what to say.

Why did the car accident happen?

Why precisely forget Fourth Young Master?

How has Laura been these past times?

A series of questions surrounded her. She wanted to ask her friend, but when the words reached her mouth, she couldn’t utter a single word. After all, these were private matters, and since Laura didn’t remember them anymore, asking would only add to the sadness...

Life is like this, occasionally throwing you unexpected surprises.

"Laura, are you alright now?"

"I’m okay, just some minor injuries."

"Which hospital are you staying at? I’ll be going back the day after tomorrow."

"Yasmine, aren’t you in Aethelburg?"

"Yes, I got transferred to Dravenfall."

"Oh..."

Laura didn’t ask further; she simply assumed she had forgotten.

The two exchanged a few casual words before hanging up the phone. Laura felt a bit stupefied, was she really dating Fourth Young Master Hawthorne?

Mr. Hawthorne? Jason Hawthorne? Fourth Young Master?

These past few days, she has heard these titles repeatedly.
