Chapter 531: Chapter 531 It’s Good That You Realize It

"Stop the car!"

The man roared.

He then reached out and grabbed Yvette’s back collar, forcefully pulling her back.

The car came to a sudden stop, and the passengers leaned forward because of inertia. When Yvette was about to hit the hard back of the car, Lance pulled her into his arms, using his body as her cushion.

Yvette did not hit the car seat, but she thought she might, so she raised her arms in front of herself in advance.

It would probably hurt, so she decided to protect her body a little.

She did not expect to bump into Lance, and it didn’t hurt much.

However, just now there was a bang, and she did not know if Lance was hit hard.

She only thought about that question for a second. Because she thought a grown man could take it. Moreover, it was just a sudden stop, not a car crash, it wasn’t lethal.

Of course, Yvette did not really want to jump out of the car, but if she did not do that, this peremptory man would not stop.

After the car stopped, Lance still held Yvette’s arm tightly, and his eyes were filled with rare panic.

"Are you crazy?"

He said these three words through gritted teeth.

Lance was still angry, and he said, "Jumping off the car at such speed, do you really want to kill yourself?"

Yvette shook her arm that was tightly grabbed by Lance and said angrily, "No, I don’t want to kill myself. It’s not worth it for you."

Lance’s handsome face instantly changed, and his fingers turned pale.

After a long silence, he said, "Good that you realize it."

Yvette bit her lips. An unspeakable sadness spread in her heart, but she still forced out a cold smile.

She said, "Lance, I’ve realized it since a long time ago. I’ve already followed the rules and treated you as a stranger. Why can’t you do the same? I haven’t said a word about your marriage with Juliette. You know..."

She paused and said in a hoarse voice, "You know that Juliette has something to do with that kidnapping, but you still chose to marry her. She’s a murderer, and so are you. You are not going to let me stay in New York, are you?"

Yvette’s eyes were red with excitement, and she asked Lance, "Lance, who is the crazy one between us?"

Lance held her arm tightly, and Yvette could not shake it off no matter how hard she tried.

He wouldn’t let go, and he was clenching it very tightly, afraid that Yvette would disappear if he let her go.

Yvette struggled a few times, and her arm was in pain from the pinch.

"Let go of me. I want to get out of the car. I don’t want to have anything to do with you, and I don’t want to be in the same space as you. Why can’t you do the same as I do? Isn’t it you who said that we should be strangers?"

"Strangers..." Lance repeated, his voice very low as if he was talking in his sleep.

"I was crazy," he answered rashly. His eyes were blood-red.

"Just take it that I’m crazy, but I did that for you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Yvette’s mocking laughter.

"Lance, who are you to me? You did that for me? Why would you be good to a stranger?"

Yvette did not wait for him to reply and continued, "Ask yourself honestly. After you come back, you’ve been doing nothing but humiliating me and making me feel ashamed. What else did you do that was good for me?"

Yvette stared at Lance’s twisted face. She wanted an answer. "Can you give me an answer for what you have done?"

"I..."

The apology was on his lips, but Lance couldn’t say it.

A gust of cold wind blew over, making him suddenly sober.

He thought, what right do I have to be good to her now?

All I can do is solve all the problems for her so that she doesn’t have to worry about anything anymore.

Almost in an instant, Lance once again put on his disguise.

His expression turned cold again, and he said in a low voice, "I shouldn’t be minding your business."

Yvette clenched her fingers tightly, unable to say anything. She had had it enough.

Lance gave her hope again and again, but eventually, he destroyed all of it.

What was funny was that when Yvette saw Lance concerned about her, she wondered if he still loved her or if he was forced to do those terrible things to her.

But there was nothing.

She had overestimated herself.

Yvette bit her lips tightly. After suppressing the bitterness that was about to rush out of her throat, she slowly said, "Mr. Wolseley, I hope that you won’t meddle in my business like this next time. I don’t need it, and I feel annoyed. If we meet again next time, please follow the rules that we should regard each other as strangers."

Yvette thought of what Marlon told her. It turned out that Lance was the boy she saved when she was a child.

Yazmin’s parents were invited to that manor as guests, and Lance also went with his parents.

Because he was not familiar with that manor, he accidentally fell into the icy lake. It was little Yvette who broke the ice and saved him, regardless of her own safety.

It was a thrilling rescue. Yvette fell into the lake and almost drowned.

Yazmin had been waiting on the side. When Yvette finally pulled that boy, who was almost twice as big as her, up from the ice, Yazmin snatched the boy away.

Then, Yazmin let her personal servant take Lance away.

Yvette did not even know the name of Lance. She only told her brother and mother that she had saved a boy.

Her mother blamed her for rashly going into the water and not caring about her own safety.

But Yvette did not think too much about it at that time. That was the charity day of the manor, and there were many boys and girls there. Yvette didn’t see Lance again that day. It was obvious that his family had taken him away.

The later story was not difficult to guess.

Yazmin stole the credit, so Lance always said that he owed Yazmin a favor.

Little did he know that Yvette was the one who risked her life to save him, and because of that nearly drowning, she had been afraid ever after when she saw water.

After that, she was lost, and her head was injured. She lost some of her memories and started to think that she could not swim at all.

In fact, she was an excellent swimmer. That was why she was able to survive when she fell into the river.

It was the fear of despair that stimulated her potential.

Lance did not know about this, but Yvette thought there was no need to tell him.

Lance saved her life, and Yvette also saved him once. Yvette thought they were even now and should never meet again.

Before Yvette got out of the car, she said decisively, "Lance, I don’t owe you anything. Please don’t interfere with my business anymore."

After that, she grabbed her bag, pushed open the door, and got out of the car unhesitatingly.

She called the driver who came to pick her up, and the driver just happened to be nearby.

Lance didn’t drive away until Yvette got into the car and left.

He leaned against the car seat and watched Yvette get in the car. Throughout the whole process, she did not look in his direction again.

There was a bitter taste in his heart that spread to his throat.

Lance’s eyes were red, and a drop of tear fell silently.

On the way back, Yvette remained silent all the way. She felt empty but relieved.

She smiled mockingly. It was good. Every time she got disappointed by Lance, she moved on a little bit.

Very good...

Soon, she would be able to completely remove Lance from her life.

...

Susana got up, and she froze in shock when she saw the messy clothes on the ground and the half-naked man on the bed.

Once it had happened, this kind of thing just wouldn’t stop.

Last night, Marlon sent her home and had a cup of coffee there. Then he refused to leave.

He said that he was too tired and he would just sleep at her place.

Susana asked Marlon to sleep on the sofa, but she was worried about him. When she was tucking a blanket over him in the middle of the night, he grabbed her and kissed her like crazy.

In a daze, she was abducted by Marlon to bed.

As grown-ups, they would definitely be unable to control themselves when they intertwined together.

But Marlon stopped at the last minute and let Susana help him in another way.

Just as Susana was puzzled, Marlon said, "Aren’t you on a period?"

On a period...

Susana thought about it for a long time before he came to a realization.

It turned out that Marlon misunderstood the blood that came out because of the intense sex as her period blood.

In fact, Susana only had sex twice, and the interval was long. She only bled because she wasn’t ready for Marvin’s abruptly getting into her body.

She smiled bitterly. In other people’s eyes, she was a divorced woman, who was impossible to be a virgin.

Especially when she married the notorious Dominic.

More than once, Dominic had told his friends in detail how many tricks he had played with Susana in bed and how cooperative she was.

Even after their divorce, he would spare no effort to discredit her, saying that she was a slut on his bed.

He said that Susana was just pretending to be serious, but in fact, she wanted sex even more than a man did.

Every time Susana thought of Dominic, her face would become pale like a piece of dried-up paper, which would shatter with a gentle pinch.

She often woke up at midnight from a nightmare that was all about Dominic.

And she had been living with that devil for two years.

Hell and nightmares would appear in Susana’s mind together with Dominic’s name.

Susana felt uncomfortable all over when she thought of Dominic. She got up and poured herself a glass of water to calm herself down.

However, she did not expect someone to come close behind her.

"Ah!" she screamed.

She was unprepared, and the glass in her hand fell.

Fortunately, Marlon reached out to pick it up in time. He touched the temperature of the glass and frowned. "I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to drink cold water in the middle of the night now."

If it was before, Marlon would definitely not know that girls had to avoid cold things when on a period.

Thanks to Yvette. After she was back, Marlon was afraid that he would not be able to take good care of her, so he learned a lot about women.

Therefore, a man could understand everything as long as he wanted to. It depended on whether he wanted to do it or not, and whether it was worth it with this person.

Marlon emptied the glass and gave Susana a glass of warm water.

Susana was flattered and took the glass. She said in a low voice, "Thank you."

After drinking the water, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to go back to bed, but Marlon stopped her.

He put his hands on the table, trapping Susana between his arms, raised his eyebrows, and said, "You haven’t explained what happened tonight to me yet."

This posture was too intimate. The outsiders would think that they were in love when looking at them.

But Susana knew that she was no more than Marlon’s sex partner.

In front of her was Marlon’s muscular chest. Susana felt a sense of panic of nowhere to run. She lowered her eyes and said, "What?"

Marlon stared at her and said, "1008, your door password. Is it my birthday?"

He was so close to asking Susana if she liked him. He even felt a little troubled and did not know what to do with Susana.

His father wouldn’t possibly accept Susana.

Even if Susana was not married before, it would not be possible.

Susana pinched her palms and replied softly under Lance’s gaze, "It is Dominic’s birthday."

Marlon was stunned.

He forgot that Dominic and he were born on the same day.

Back then, because of their birthday, they were closer to each other than to their peers in the aristocratic circle.

Marlon did not expect that Dominic would grow up to be a pervert who pestered Susana. When Dominic proposed to Susana, Marlon was actually very jealous.

He felt that he could not be as brave as Dominic.

After all, with their status, marriage was a stepping stone for their families, and it was not something they could decide.

But Dominic was totally a demon.

What Marlon did not expect most was that Susana, who had been treated like that, still loved Dominic.

He looked at the marks left on Susana’s back, and his eyes unconsciously darkened. "If you love him so much, why did you run away?"

Susana felt Lance’s gaze on her and subconsciously shrank back. This was a sign of her inferiority.

She didn’t have a beautiful back like other women did, and she couldn’t be as confident as them.

On her back was the proof that she had once lived in hell.

She shook her head and said lightly, "I don’t love him."

Marlon could not help but feel excited. He felt a joy that could not be explained.

Susana added, "It’s just that I’ve been his wife for two years. I’m used to it."

She was used to it. Just like every time she thought of Dominic, she would feel cold.

She had to pretend that she loved Dominic very much in public. She had to bow down to him. She had to worship him.

The habit was something more powerful than love.

Marlon was stunned. Susana’s words surprised him.

He thought, how could she get used to Dominic...

"Go back to sleep." Susana pushed Marlon away and almost ran back to the bed.

She was afraid that if she was a second later, she would not be able to hold back her surging grievances and would look miserable in front of Marlon.

She did not want Marlon to pity her.

Marlon stood in the kitchen for a while, but no one knew what he was thinking.

When he returned to the bedroom and saw Susana curl up on the edge of the bed, he could not help but feel his heart ache.

It was such a big bed, and the mark proving that he had been lying on it was still there, but Susana could keep her distance from him so easily.

A cold wind rustled in, and Marlon’s mind gradually became clear.

No matter how stupid he was, he could still feel the alienation Susana had for him. And she only had sex with him because she felt grateful for him.

Doing so would actually make things easy for both of them, but Marlon felt that his heart was blocked, and he felt very uncomfortable.

He felt that he couldn’t breathe smoothly.

After he thought for a moment, his pride stopped him from standing there.

Marlon put on his clothes quickly and resumed his noble and arrogant appearance. He looked at the woman on the bed who seemed to be asleep.

Then he did not say a word, left, and closed the door.

The door bounced back and made a light sound.

Susana immediately opened her eyes.
