Chapter 32 Who Do You Love

Chapter 32

“Really? But I don’t think I should… Vivi won’t be happy about it…” Rina said. She

sounded overjoyed.

“It’s not up to her,” Liam said. He removed his hand from the door and

returned to the dining table.

I opened the door and went up the stairs.

I was exhausted after the pointless episode. I took my phone as I lay on my

bed, planning to call the hospital for an update on my father’s condition, but I

noticed a message in my inbox. It was from Chris.

It read, “I’m sorry that I was cold to you after Ms. Olsen came into the room. I

think she has an ulterior motive, and I shouldn’t be so friendly to you when

she’s around. I hope you’re not angry.”

“P/S: Thank you for dinner tonight. I appreciate it.”

I thought for a while and replied, “It’s okay. I didn’t mind it.”

Chris did not reply.

I deleted Chris‘ message. Right after that, Auntie Sidney came into the roorn

with some food.

I was not full yet, so I sat down at the table and continued eating.

Auntie Sidney did not leave. She stood next to me, and she looked like she

had something to say.

“Do you want to tell me something?” I said.

“It’s like this,” Auntie Sidney said nervously, “I was worried when I didn’t see you

in the garden, so I gave Mr. Mendez a call. He was about to board the plane.”

I looked at Auntie Sidney.

“He immediately returned and looked for you,” Auntie Sidney said carefully.

“Before you returned, he asked me if your fever had subsided, and if you were

wearing warm clothes when you went outside. He cared for you.”

“Are you going to tell stories to make me like him again? He’s letting Ms. Olsen

sleep in his room,” I said.

Auntie Sidney sighed. She was about to speak when her walkie–talkie buzzed.

She spoke briefly into her walkie–talkie and said, “Mr. Mendez is summoning

  1. me. It sounds urgent.”

“Don’t worry about me. I’ll be sleeping after I finish eating,” I said.

After I ate, I called the hospital and found that my father was fine. Anna

visited him in the morning. Mr. Cailan visited him in the afternoon and

stationed two bodyguards there.

I wanted to browse for travel inspirations on my phone, but fatigue overcame

me, and I lost consciousness.

I slept very soundly, though the room was stuffy.

I dreamed that I was abducted, and my hands and feet were tied. When I

woke up, my limbs folt numb.

It took me some time before I came to my senses, though I thought there

was something amiss about my room.

I went to open the closet, and…

Men’s clothes? Did I go to the wrong room?

Outside the window was the rose garden. Liam’s room should be facing the

lake.

I stood there in a daze until a door opened behind me.

I turned my head and saw that the bathroom door was open, and Liam

stepped out wrapped in a towel. He stopped walking and stood there silently

when he saw me.

Chapter 32 Who Do You Love

I came to my senses after a few seconds. “I’m… I’m sorry, I was too tired last

night, and I…”

I must have entered the wrong room.

But where’s Ring then?

I was not in the mood to think of an answer, so I went out of the door.

I met Auntie Sidney in the corridor. She was holding a tray in her hands, and

on the tray was a pink tracksuit.

She smiled when she saw me, and she hurriedly walked toward me. “You’re

awake, Mrs. Mendez. Did you sleep well?”

“Not bad,” I replied. “Why didn’t you tell me last night?”

I had entered the wrong room, and Auntie Sidney was there. I was surprised

she did not tell me I was in the wrong room even though she obviously knew

that was the case.

“Mr. Mendez told me not to disturb you,” Auntie Sidney deliberately spoke

softly. “When I went into Mr. Mendez’s room last night, Ms. Olsen had just

stepped out from the shower dressed very sparingly. She almost burst into

tears when she heard Mr. Mendez was moving to your room.”

What’s the point of crying? Do your best to flirt with him!

Can’t you do anything other than sow discord?

Auntie Sidney continued, “Mrs. Mendez, do you want to know what Mr. Mendez

said to her?”

Even though she looked eager to tell me, I did not feel like giving her the

pleasure. “I’m sorry, Auntie Sidney, I don’t want to know.”

Auntie idney pressed her lips together in embarrassment.

I explained myself, “I know you mean well, and you probably want to cheer

me up. That would have been true in the past, but I don’t really care now.”

Auntie Sidney seemed disappointed. “You love him so much. Shouldn’t you be

happy to know that he cares about you?”

I shook my head. “He doesn’t care about me, and I no longer lo…”

Before I could finish, Auntie Sidney interrupted me, “Good morning, Mr.

Mendez!”

I shuddered instinctively and turned around.

Lim was standing at the door behind me with his arms crossed. He had

probably stood there for a long time. He lifted his chin slightly when he saw

me looking at him. “Go on.”

I did not speak. Instead, I quickly went down the stairs.

I had only taken four steps when someone grabbed my arm. I shrieked and

tried to struggle, but he pinned me on the banister.

He leaned close to me, and his arms held my limbs together.

Chapter 32 Who Do You Love

Fear seized me, and I forgot to breathe as I stared at his face.

What did I do wrong? Is it because I badmouthed him in front of Auntie

Sidney? I only said he didn’t love me. Was that badmouthing?

The silence lasted a few seconds before Liam spoke, his voice brimming with

hostility, “Why did you run away?”

I turned my head away and said nothing.

“Go on. You were saying something earlier.” He lowered his head slightly. His

warm breath carrying his unique scent tickled my face, but his tone

remained cold.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t tell Auntie Sidney about what’s going on between us….‘

The Was the only reason I could think of that made him angry. Maybe he

wanted it to be a secret between us.

Liam remained hostile. “Lift your head and look at me when you’re speaking.”

Chapter 32 Who Do You Love

I rubbed my sweaty palms and lifted my head. “Sorry, I won’t…”

“Are you an idiot?” he spoke viciously, “I told you to go on!”

Go on?

That was a weird request. I said with a trembling voice, “He doesn’t care

about me, and I no longer love him.”

Liam did not speak.

My heart was in my throat as I waited for his reply, and my breathing

became faster.

I did not know how long the standoff lasted.

ally, Liam spoke. “Who do you love?” His voice remained cold, though it

was not as hostile.

“Is it that doctor? Or are you slooping with other men?” he said mockingly.

How absurd.

“Why do you insist on cuckolding yourself?”

Liam pressed his lips together tightly.

I turned my head away to avert his hostile gaze, and I noticed his knuckles

that were clenching the banister turning white.

I probably would not die if he tossed over the banister, but I would be badly

hurt.
