Suddenly, someone gripped Cicely’s shoulder hard. She was spun halfway around and then shoved
against the black luxury car behind her.
Seth’s handsome face leaned in. His face was devoid of warmth. His lips were slightly pursed and his
gazes were as sharp as knives, staring at her.
Cicely’s waist was pressed against the car, her shoulders firmly held against the window.
Seth opened his mouth again, each word seeming to grind out from between his teeth, “Where’d you
leave your compassion, huh?”
His voice nearly froze the surrounding air, and his eyes emitted a chilling and sinister aura that sent
shivers down one’s spine.
Cicely, enduring the pain in her body, maintained a calm and indifferent facade. Seeing her expression,
the anger in Seth’s heart blazed even more fiercely. “Speak up! Where did it go?!”
Cicely was startled by Seth’s words, her eyelashes fluttering. She lifted her face, forcing a smile as she
looked at him, then she slowly said in her unique voice, “I don’t know. The things I lose, I never think
about getting them back. Do you go digging through the trash for something you threw away?”
Seth’s brow twitched, and the veins on his forehead became visible.
Cicely laughed, watching him. Rarely did she see so many expressions on Seth’s face. “Are you mad?”
Cicely smiled again, “See, what’s the point in you looking for me? I won’t sleep with you, I don’t care if
you’re tired or drunk, and I’ll probably piss you off and cause you trouble. You’re not exactly lacking in
women, just a wave of your hand and there’ll be a line of them ready to jump in your bed, serving you,
pleasing you, trying in every way to win your favor, and they’re way more sensible than me. Why do
you want to keep me around to be a thorn in your side?”
Cicely’s words were laced with sarcasm, the idea of having to face this man again gave her a
headache.
Seth suddenly laughed, “There are plenty of women who know how to please me, so that makes you
special. Maybe one day some clueless woman will replace you, and then you can bow out gracefully.”
Cicely was stunned for a moment, then raised an eyebrow, “Really? Then I can only pray for that
person to show up sooner.”
Seth’s decision couldn’t be changed no matter how it was phrased. There was no point in remaining in
this standoff with him. But he wanted a special woman? What was so hard about that?
“Are you two done arguing yet?”
Chloe’s voice came from behind, breaking the standoff between them.
Seth stood up, creating distance between himself and Cicely. Cicely stood up, tidying her messy hair.
The next second, her arm was grabbed again.
She stopped in her tracks, furrowing her brow as she looked at the man who had once again
approached her.
“What more do you want?”
“Weren’t you supposed to be going to clear your mind? Since you don’t like the kids here, I’ll take you
somewhere else.”
Cicely chuckled lightly, decisively pulling her hand back. “Sorry, I’d rather stay here with these naughty
kids than go clear my mind.”
“Cicely, trying too hard will only backfire. If you really want to leave me sooner, then act like other
women, follow some rules. Maybe I’ll get tired of you sooner and/ let you out of my sight,” Seth stared
at her intently.
Cicely snorted, “Even though that’s a good idea, unfortunately, I can’t even pretend to play along.”
Seeing Seth’s mood turn sour, Chloe quickly stepped forward and took Cicely’s hand. Chloe looked at
Seth coldly, “She and I had plans today, Seth. You should’ve known she was going to be with me today.
Are you afraid she’ll leave, or that I’ll hurt her?”
Seth stared coldly at Chloe, “She’s been sitting at the door for nearly three hours, and you say you
came together?”
Chloe hesitated, she was indeed somewhat guilty about that, but she hadn’t expected Cicely not to go
in.
“Let’s go.” Cicely sensed Chloe’s discomfort and tugged at her arm, leading her toward the entrance of
the orphanage.
This time Seth didn’t bother them, and he just stood there, watching as the two women’s figures slowly
moved away.
Cicely’s grip on Chloe’s hand tighten. The farce was finally over, but it wasn’t meaningless. Like now,
Cicely could confidently walk into the orphanage under Seth’s watchful gaze.
When Cicely entered the orphanage gate, Chloe could already feel her hand being crushed. Just a few
steps distance, she couldn’t imagine what Cicely had been through.
Seth watched as the two figures disappeared through the door, then got back into his car. A faint cloud
of smoke soon filled the car.
“See, what’s the point in you looking for me? I won’t sleep with you, I don’t care about you, and I’ll
probably piss you off and cause you trouble… You’re not exactly lacking in women, just a wave of your
hand and there’ll be a line of them ready to jump in your bed, serving you, pleasing you, trying in every
way to win your favor, and they’re way more sensible than me. Why do you want to keep me around to
be a thorn in your side?”
What Cicely had just said was like smoke in the car, inhaled and exhaled by him.
This nightgown isn’t mine, but I wanted to see your reaction so I wore it”
“You’ve been working all day and you’re still drinking so much? You stink… hurry up and drink this
water and take a shower.”
“Who pissed you off? I’ll get back at them for you!”
“You actually picked the model yourself? You actually watched other women in bikinis? You’re not
allowed in the bedroom tonight.”
In the past, the domineering and clingy Cicely couldn’t stand him paying attention to other women, but
now she wished he was with other women every day.
“Although it’s a good idea, unfortunately, I can’t even pretend to play along.
She couldn’t even pretend…
Seth chuckled, his handsome face obscured by the smoke.
After Chloe and Cicely entered the orphanage, Winston and Rose were distributing lunch to the
children.
The children formed two orderly lines and collected their lunches. However, the expressions on the
children in the two lines were starkly different. The line in front of Rose was lively and relaxed, with the
children joking and laughing. In contrast, the line in front of Winston was tense, with the children’s faces
tight and their lips sealed, looking like they were facing their execution.
