Looking at him, she said, “Roderick? You left for work already,
right? Why are you back?”
She walked over to him with a smile.
“Did you forget anything? I’ll go and get it for you.”
“No need,” Roderick said coldly.
He walked past her, grabbed Andrea’s wrist, entered the study,
and locked the door.
It all happened so fast that Andrea failed to react.
“What are you doing back?” she asked.
“I left some documents at home.”
She fell silent after he answered. Looking at her, he felt both
furious and distressed.
“Does it hurt a lot?”
Andrea’s cheek was still burning. Though she slapped Matilda
back, since she was sick and weak all over, her strength couldn’t
be compared to Matilda’s at all.
She figured Matilda said nothing wrong. She was involved with
her stepbrother–for seven years, no less.
Roderick was responsible, but she wasn’t innocent either.
She deserved that slap.
Looking at him calmly, she said in a flat voice, “I’m fine.
“I slapped her back, so we’re even.”
Roderick parted his lips but didn’t know what to say. Finally, he
just stroked her cheek with distress in his eyes.
“You did the right thing. Don’t worry. When the time comes, I’ll
tell her everything and make it up to you.”
She nodded slightly, looking meek.
Meanwhile, she sneered inwardly, thinking, “Am I that gullible
in his eyes?
“He just spent a passionate night with Matilda last night, and
now, he’s telling me he’ll tell her everything?
“What’s going on between them is hardly just an act.
“But none of this matters anymore.

“I’ll leave whether he has feelings for Matilda or not.
“Soon, I’ll get rid of all of this.”
“Alright. I’m fine. You should go to work,” she said.
But he still hugged her tightly, not willing to let go. “I’m not
going.”
“Come on now. Don’t be silly.”
She frowned. The thought of being played by him made her
sick.
Another minute with him, and she might give herself away.
Roderick wrapped his arm around Andrea’s waist and pinched
it gently.
“I want you so badly that I’m not in the mood to work at all.”
As he slid his hand downward, her body trembled
uncontrollably, and she tried to push his chest away with all her
strength.

She thought, “Is he an animal? How come he’s so horny already after he just spent a passionate night with Matilda?”
Her eyes dimmed. She knew all about his relentless stamina–in

the past, she could hardly crawl out of bed the next morning
after they had sex.
“Stop it. Matilda is outside.”
Matilda was his fiancee.

If they crossed the boundaries again, they’d be having an affair.
Roderick didn’t think she’d say no to him at all, figuring she was
just playing hard to get.
Therefore, he ignored her resistance, gliding his hand over
every part of her body.
“Yeah, so?” he responded casually.
He was so addicted to her soft skin.
As he reached between her legs, his fingers tightened.
Breathing heavily, he leaned toward her ear.
With the last shred of his sanity, he asked, “Is your period over,
Andie?”
Andrea quickly pushed his hand away, preventing him from
making another move.

“Not yet.”
All of a sudden, her heart skipped a beat.
She had told him she was on her period because she didn’t want
him to touch her.
It suddenly dawned on her that her cycle had been late for quite
a few days already.
Her expression changed drastically.
Was she… pregnant?!
A bit displeased, Roderick bit down on her shoulder.
