Chapter 179

:

Yolanda didn’t get a reply from lan, so she teased, her tone laid–back, “What, are you scared?”

Are you afraid of actually getting mixed up with me and having Charles come after you down the line? Yolanda mused to herself. ‘Honestly, in Charles‘ eyes, just us being together like this probably looks like we’re already a thing.

To him, it’s basically like we’ve already crossed the line, Yolanda thought.

“Yolanda, you don’t really know me,” Ian said, his tone suddenly turning distant.

They switched positions, and Yolanda ended up lying back on the lounge chair.

Ian lifted her legs onto his shoulders. “Let me clean you up,” he said.

Yolanda was about to ask how he planned to do that when, in the next second, he leaned down.

Before she could even react, Ian moved closer, making her breath catch for a moment.

Ten minutes later, Ian heard Yolanda’s quiet sobs and instantly stopped, wrapping her tightly in his arms and softly patting her back as if to shield her from the world.

“The more I try to clean, the messier you get. Seriously, Yolanda, are you made out of water or something?” Ian joked, unable to resist teasing her.

With his fingertip, he brushed away the tears at the corner of her eyes, his heart aching. “See? I haven’t even done anything, and you’re already fighting me off.”

Yolanda nestled in his arms, breathing heavily. Her forehead pressed to his shoulder, and she said nothing.

Ian had a clean, fresh scent–something she couldn’t quite describe, but it was strangely invigorating.

Yolanda closed her eyes for a few minutes to catch her breath. Then she pressed her lips together and said, “I’m leaving.”

“Mm–hmm,” Ian murmured.

He gently helped her up, straightened her out, then spun her around right there, admiring her like she was his masterpiece.

“It’s perfect,” he said with a satisfied grin.

Ian never held back when it came to compliments, and as he spoke, his eyes sparkled with genuine admiration.

Yolanda stood on her tiptoes and kissed him lightly on the lips.

Ian looked genuinely stunned for a split second, then his whole face seemed to light up, like a flower bursting into bloom. “Wow, you actually kissed me? You don’t mind me at all today!”
