Chapter 7 Quite Sensitive Evelyn threw her phone away at the last moment . " Why are you here , Evelyn ? " Jerry's eyes were filled with gloom . Maura stepped out of the car , appearing surprised at first , but quickly adopted a smug expression . To rub salt in the wound , Maura pulled down her collar , showing off her marks from earlier . Ignoring her , Evelyn slapped Jerry hard across the face . " That's for my father ! " As Jerry stood in a daze , she slapped him again . " That was for me ! " . " What the fuck ! Are you out of your mind ?! " He was in shock . " YOU are out of your mind ! " Evelyn glared at him , her eyes red with anger . " All your feelings were fake when my father was being investigated , weren't they ? And you think I'll beg to sleep with you ? Not in your dreams ! I don't want herpes ! " Maura's face darkened upon hearing this . She strutted over in her high heels , " Are you insulting me , bitch ? " " Oh , you had to ask ? " She coldly curled her lips . " Do I have to call you a slut to your face? " " You ! " Maura glared at her . She cast a glance at Jerry , only to realize that he was seething with anger but showed no intention of defending her . In a fit of rage , Maura slapped Evelyn across the face , causing blood to trickle from the corner of Evelyn's mouth . Jerry was caught off guard , not expecting Maura to be violent . " Evelyn , you've gone too far ! " Maura cried . " I've gone too far ? " Evelyn asked . " You are the homewrecker ! Mark my words , what goes around , comes around ! " If Jerry could cheat once , he could cheat again . Maura wouldn't be his last lover . Evelyn picked up her phone and left . Gathering her belongings and important documents from Hill Villa , Evelyn departed without looking back . If striking a deal with Huston meant stepping into a beautiful trap , at least she was leaving behind a dreadful nightmare . No matter what was ahead of her , she would never return to this place again . *** Eight in the evening , Evelyn arrived at the gate of Royal Villa , even more grand and affluent than Hill Villa . With its own gardens and swimming pools , the villa occupied the entire mountainside . Evelyn couldn't fathom the vastness . It was a fitting home for Huston , a ruthless business tycoon . Walking from the gate to the front door of the villa , she could feel panic creeping in . She stood to take a few deep breaths . The door suddenly swung open . Huston , still wearing the same shirt as earlier , asked impatiently , " What're you doing standing here ? " Snapping back to reality , Evelyn stepped inside . The layout of the house was surprisingly rather simple , not very extravagant . She recognized the paintings adorning the walls , creations by a prominent artist , worth millions at auction . Three of these paintings hung on the wall , their collective value probably surpassing that of the entire Hill Villa . " Do you cook ? " Huston suddenly asked out of the blue . Evelyn nodded . Having spent four years studying abroad alone , she always cooked for herself . And during her one - year stint as a housewife , her cooking skills improved . " Prepare something for dinner , then . " Evelyn blinked in disbelief . " What ? Me ? " " Mhm . " Huston found it easy to know what Evelyn was thinking ; she wore her emotions on her sleeve . He placed his glass of water down and approached her , leaning on the table with a slight bend . " What ? You think I brought you here just to sleep with you ? With your inexperience in bed , wouldn't it make sense if you do something else for me too ? " Evelyn's ears turned bright red . " I'm a picky man . You must familiarize yourself with my preferences and cater to my needs , " Huston straightened up . " Understood ? " What else could she say ? She did come here in exchange for his support . Watching Huston ascend the stairs , Evelyn turned around and entered the kitchen . The fridge was filled with fresh ingredients . She pan - fried a juicy steak and steamed a tender basa fish , complemented by a side of fresh asparagus . Lastly she made a quick dessert to complete the meal . The aroma wafted through the dining room as Huston came back down stairs . He stood silent by the doorway and watched Evelyn , illuminated by the warm glow , carefully picking up some fish with a spoon and placing it in her mouth . A satisfied smile graced her face as she savored the flavors , giving a peek of her pearly white teeth . She had gathered her hair into a bun , and a few strands cascaded gracefully down her fair neck . Slowly approaching her , Huston reached out and grazed the back of her neck , fingertips gently caressing her skin . -Evelyn jumped slightly . She stammered , " A - Are you hungry ? Shall we eat now? " He remained silent , his breath tickling her skin as he watched her delicate ears turn red . Leaning closer , he whispered , " You're quite sensitive , huh … ? "
