Halston was speechless.
Flossie burped and said bluntly, “But it’s fine, it’s hard to say who will take advantage of who. Alright, let’s go and get a hotel room!”
Halston’s jaw dropped. Did she have any idea what she was saying?!
He supported the swaying Flossie and said coldly, “You’re too inexperienced to take advantage of me. What’s more, you donated so much blood today. You’d better just behave yourself and rest well.”
They went to the most prestigious hotel in the city center.
Halston went to the reception and said to the receptionist at the counter, “Give me two of your best suites.”
“Sir, are you sure you want two suites?” The receptionist glanced at Flossie, who was clinging to Halston like a koala. It might have been the first time she had seen such a thing.
The man and woman were obviously close, but they wanted separate rooms.
“Yes, we’re not close, you see.” Halston lifted his chin as he spoke. However, even as he said that, Flossie hung onto him and pulled his sleeve.
“You guys look… pretty close,” the receptionist muttered before she started checking the rooms. At last, she informed Halston regretfully, “Sir, we’re left with only one Luxury Suite. The others are taken. What do you-
“Only one?” Halston knitted his brows and said reluctantly, “Fine, I’ll take that one.”
After that, he lowered his head and explained to Flossie solemnly, “Listen. There’s only one room in the hotel. It’s not that I want to stay in the same room with you.”
But he gained no response from her.
Flossie did not make any reply, possibly because she was too sleepy. She seemed to have dozed off while clinging to his shoulders.
After getting the room card, Halston helped Flossie into the room. Unexpectedly, a paparazzi snapped the whole process from afar.
“You’re so heavy. You don’t look it, but you are,’ Halston growled as he laid her on the bed, sweating profusely. “I’m not heavy, you’re just weak…” Flossie mumbled, half-asleep.
“What did you say?” Halston thought she wanted to say something to him, so he leaned closer.
“You… You’re weak,” Flossie said softly.
“I’m weak?” Halston raised his eyebrows in surprise. He had lived for more than two decades, but no one had ever claimed that he was weak, especially women.
Before he could argue with her, she hugged his neck, then turned and pinned him underneath her.
“Halston, why are you so stubborn? I try my best to get you out of my life, but you always show up somehow. Even if you’ve lost your memory and forgotten about me, why do you still want to mess with my mind?” Flossie glanced at the man with perfect facial features below her. Her eyes were unfocused, and Halston didn’t know if it was the alcohol talking or she was serious.
“Am I that annoying? Why don’t you want me in your life?” Halston lay flat on the bed, unexpectedly calm as he met Flossie’s gaze and asked her.
Although he seemed to have some kind of grudge against her and she conspired with
Quinton and nearly got him killed…
For some reason, he could not bring himself to hate her. On the contrary, he couldn’t help but want to be near her. It had become his subconscious habit.
It was exactly what happened this time around. He was indeed Benjamin’s partner, but he did not have to lower himself to come here. He had only come because he had heard she would be here, and thus, he shamelessly and eagerly followed her.
Why? He yearned to know the answer.
“I’ve thought about it for a long time, and I’ve decided that I must recover my lost memories.
Do you know how to help me do that?” Halston asked her seriously.
“Yes, I have a lot of ways…”
“Tell me!”
“For instance…” Flossie leaned in close to his ear as if she were about to make some kind of grand statement.
Patiently, Halston waited for a long time. However, all he heard was her soft snores.
Halston was stunned. How could this woman fall asleep at such a critical moment?! He wanted to wake her up and get to the bottom of it, but he knew she had gone through a lot earlier. She had escaped from that madman Benjamin and then donated blood, so he just let her sleep.
Flossie could not lay still throughout the night. She tossed and turned, hugging him or sleeping on him as if he was a pillow. She even kicked and punched him from time to time.
Sometimes, he was convinced she wasn’t asleep and was doing all this on purpose.
At one point, she hugged his shoulders from the back, snuggling her face on his broad back.
“Do you want me to sleep or not?” Halston hissed as he turned around to teach her a lesson.
However, when he saw her childish and innocent sleeping face, his anger quickly subsided.
Helplessly, he adjusted his posture and let her rest her head on him more comfortably.
“You’re so good.” With her eyes closed, Flossie moved her head slightly and hugged him tighter. It had been a very long time since she had experienced this. He was warm and strong, which made her feel safe. Hence, she slept very well.
At first, Halston thought that the night would go on peacefully like this, but unfortunately, something went wrong in the middle of the night.
“Damn it!” Halston’s whole body was burning hot, and a thin layer of sweat coated his forehead. He felt like he was about to explode. It might have been the strong deer blood, but a fire soon burned in his heart. He stared at the woman in his arms, filled with desire.
No, he might do something bad if this went on. He had to find a way to suppress this heat.
After dwelling on it for a while, he decided to go to the bathroom to have a cold shower.
Halston gently pulled Flossie off him, then entered the shower. Standing under the shower, he let the cold water cool down his burning body..
While Halston was taking a shower, he heard some noise. He turned around, and to his shock, Flossie entered the bathroom.
“What… What are you doing?’ Halston was frozen, so pale he looked like he had seen a ghost. He dared not move at all.
“I’m going to take a bath,” Flossie muttered tonelessly. After that, she slowly walked towards the shower and stood in front of Halston, facing him. “I’m too hot. I need to shower.”
“I… Umm…” Halston couldn’t look away as water flowed down her body. Her long hair was drenched, and so were her clothes. They stuck to her body, showing off her curvy figure.
His mouth went dry, and he stared at her hungrily. ‘Damn it, she’s not helping the situation!’
“It’s so refreshing!” Flossie sighed blissfully and leaned her head back to enjoy the water splashing on her face.
“Woman, what are you trying to do?’ Halston finally growled. At first, he was embarrassed since he was naked. Though his sculpted body looked like a piece of art, he was still very shy about showing himself in front of a woman.
However, it was clear that Flossie was unconcerned. Even though she was standing under the shower and facing him, there was no trace of desire on her face-she looked like she was just there to take a bath. Naturally, he relaxed.
“Hmm, it’s so refreshing… It feels great!” Flossie ignored his words and touched her wet hair, looking innocent and happy.
“You want to seduce me but you pretend like you’re not interested in me.
Why?” At first, Halston wanted to pull her over and interrogate her. If her answer satisfied him, he might have even granted her wish.
But soon, he realised something was odd.
