Chapter 281

Just then, she slipped. Right at the moment she was about to fall off the ladder, she felt a hand on her butt that prevented her from falling.

“Be careful!” Evander said caringly.

Angeline blushed because she could feel Evander deliberately giving her butt a squeeze. He molested me!

Angeline was angry and frustrated, but knowing that she was still on the ladder, she dared not make any sudden movements.

She had no choice but to endure the embarrassment and slowly continue her climb to the top.

Although Evander had taken advantage of her, she couldn't help but feel a sense of security.

After climbing out of the cellar, Angeline felt she could breathe more easily. While patting off the dust on her body, she glanced at the sky. What? I've been in there the whole night? By the time I get off this mountain. I bet the sun is going to be up.

“Are you all right, Mr. Golding?” Nigel ran toward Evander. “This is my fault. You don't know the way around. I should've stayed by your side. That way, you wouldn't have fallen into the cellar.”

“That's enough.” Evander was annoyed by liis speech. “I've already inspected the peach wine. Now, I have a question for you.”

“Sure!” Nigel replied with a straight face.

When Evander raised his head, he saw how infuriated Angeline was and felt a little helpless. Ever since we broke up. she has never been nice to me whenever we met.

Indeed, she was the only person who dared to behave as she wished around Evander. Yet, not only would he not get angry at her. but he would also still look out for her in return.
