My First Love Died, Now My Step Uncle Wants Me-Chapter 59: Name a Good Price

In the darkness, Caleb Rhodes’s fingers slowly traced over Nina Wynn’s lips, finally stopping at the freshly bitten corner. He caressed it gently a few times, his voice holding a hint of a chill. "You think I’m forcing you?"

Nina Wynn bit her lip. She wanted to say yes, but she didn’t dare say it outright. She could only whisper, "A little. Just a tiny bit."

The air around them suddenly grew cold. Nina Wynn couldn’t help but pull the blanket tighter, her voice becoming even quieter. "Really, it’s just a tiny bit."

The next second, a large hand seized her slender waist. His voice was icy. "Nina Wynn, instead of dwelling on useless things, you should think about accepting me sooner. Do you think that just because I’m letting you off the hook today, I’ll do the same tomorrow?"

He suddenly took her small earlobe into his mouth. "I want to have my way with you right now!"

As he spoke, he bit down hard, causing Nina Wynn to suck in a sharp breath. "Ouch, that hurts!"

Caleb Rhodes said coldly, "So now you feel pain? Why didn’t you cry out when the sole of your foot was so torn up earlier?"

Nina Wynn fell silent.

In the darkness, she couldn’t see Caleb Rhodes’s face, but she could hear his breathing, and even his heartbeat.

At this moment, with her sight gone, all her other senses were infinitely magnified. Even her sense of smell became exceptionally acute.

Nina Wynn felt the room was filled with Caleb Rhodes’s scent—the crisp smell of cedarwood mixed with the air of his breath. It was pervasive, seeping in through her ears, mouth, eyes, and pores. It invaded her blood vessels bit by bit, flowed through her meridians, and threatened to take root in her heart, growing into a towering tree that would encroach on every inch of her body and flesh.

’If one day I wanted to pull it out, there would only be one result: death!’

Nina Wynn was terrified by this thought. She couldn’t help but touch her chest over her heart, feeling as if Caleb Rhodes’s essence had truly made a home there, and fear began to creep in.

Just as she was about to shrink back, Caleb Rhodes suddenly ripped the blanket away, pulling her completely into his embrace.

He rolled over, pinning her beneath him. His breathing was ragged and his voice was hoarse. "Nina, do it like you did yesterday and the day before."

The room was filled with her fresh, sweet scent. Her every breath made him grow hotter, more aroused.

’She’s right here in my arms, so why do I have to hold back like this?’

’But then he thought of her injuries and knew he had to hold back.’

With that, he captured her lips again, guiding her hand to press against him.

Nina Wynn’s eyes widened. Not daring to make a sound, she could only comply as they passed the excruciatingly long night.

The next day, Nina Wynn didn’t wake until noon.

When she awoke, she found that Caleb Rhodes was gone. Only the butler was in the main hall.

She hesitated for a moment before asking, "Where is the Third Lord Master?"

The butler’s face was expressionless, and his voice was flat. "The Third Lord Master has friends over. He is discussing business with them in a private room."

Nina Wynn opened her mouth as if to ask something else, but ultimately said nothing. The butler, however, seemed to understand her unspoken question and stated impassively, "The Third Lord Master’s older brother and his companions have left. Miss Wynn need not worry."

Nina Wynn breathed a sigh of relief.

Lunch was already prepared, featuring some of her favorite dishes. However, the bitter medicinal decoction was still served on schedule. The butler stood there as motionless as a robot, only turning away after she had drained the entire bowl.

She was meant to soak in the hot spring three times a day. Since she had gone to sleep too early the previous night, she made up for the missed session now, soaking until she was drowsy before getting out.

Caleb Rhodes still hadn’t returned.

Nina Wynn changed into more casual clothes and went for a stroll outside.

With the Rhodes Family gone, the hotel was actually quite pleasant. The small courtyard suite was lovely, the hot spring was wonderful, and the lounge area even had complimentary fresh fruit and small desserts.

Nina Wynn had just grabbed some small desserts and was about to watch the news on a lounge chair in the rest area when she saw the man with glasses, whom she had encountered at dinner a couple of days ago, walk in.

He was still dressed in a suit, his hair meticulously styled. He seemed to flash a small smile when he saw her.

Nina Wynn had a bad feeling about this man. There was something creepy about his smile, and the way his gaze lingered on people made her extremely uncomfortable.

Just as she was about to stand up and leave, the man walked over and sat down right next to her.

"I recognize you. You’re the companion Master Rhodes brought with him this time."

Nina Wynn didn’t answer. She wanted to leave but felt it would be rude, so she simply nodded at him.

The man looked Nina Wynn up and down, adjusted his glasses, and flashed a grin of stark white teeth. "The Third Lord Master always did have good taste. Every girl he picks sees her value multiply several times over. Why don’t you come to me? I’ll pay you three times your previous price."

Nina Wynn frowned. As she made to leave, the man gripped her wrist. "Did I say you could go?"

His tone was steeped in arrogance and disdain.

Nina Wynn said coldly, "Sir, I’ve only seen you once. We are not acquainted. I do not wish to speak with you right now, so please let go of me!"

The man sneered. "You don’t know me? Who in Elysian City doesn’t know me, Chester Landon? Cut the act. You’re just a whore, aren’t you? If Caleb Rhodes can have his fun with you, why can’t I?"

Nina Wynn raised her voice. "Let go!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Chester Landon tsked. "Still putting on an act? You think sleeping with Caleb Rhodes for a few days makes you some respectable lady with a higher price tag? Babe, I’ve got all the resources you could want. You want to be in movies? TV shows? Just keep me happy, and you can have anything. Isn’t that a better deal than sticking with Caleb Rhodes? What’s so great about him, anyway? He has you women flocking to him like flies on shit."

He raised an eyebrow, his tone dripping with arrogance. "A girl like you is basically a one-time thing. Right now, Caleb Rhodes has a dozen young, beautiful models in his private room. Every single one of them is in better shape than you, and the oldest is just eighteen. You really think he still wants you?"

Nina Wynn’s heart sank. She wrenched her arm free from Chester Landon’s grasp.

But Chester Landon suddenly shot up, grabbed her wrist with force, and yanked her toward him. "Don’t be a fool and throw away a golden opportunity. The fact that I’ve taken an interest in you is your good fortune. Still thinking about Master Rhodes? He’s over there fooling around right now and will have a new girl by tonight. Why don’t you come with me now? Let me inspect the goods so I can quote you a good price!"

With that, he reached out, seized Nina Wynn’s chin, and leaned in to kiss her.

Nina Wynn smashed the drink bottle in her hand directly onto his forehead and followed it up with a vicious kick to his crotch.

Chester Landon cried out in pain and released her. Nina Wynn turned and fled.

Chester Landon’s curses followed her. "You bitch! Don’t let me get my hands on you!"

Nina Wynn sprinted all the way back and quickly reached the entrance to her courtyard suite. But before she could step inside, Chester Landon’s words echoed in her mind.

"Right now, Caleb Rhodes has a dozen young, beautiful models in his private room. Every single one of them is in better shape than you, and the oldest is just eighteen..."

As if possessed, Nina Wynn pulled her foot back. By the time she came to her senses, she was already standing at the entrance to the private rooms in the bar area.
