Elvis pulled himself away from Nola when he came to his sense. It wasn’t easy, but he managed. Nola gasped breathlessly: with a reddened face, feeling like it was a dream. She looked bewildered, and her mind went blank momentarily, which Elvis found very attractive.

However, it was so real

“That’s the consequence of seducing me in the morning” Elvis left the room in a good mood.

Nola, who paid no attention to Elvis‘ smile as he left, didn’t come to her senses until she pinched herself and realized it wasn’t a dream.

But…

“When did I seduce him?” Nola had no idea what she did.

Her heart began to race again when she recalled what they had done just now.

“Wake up, Nola!” She dashed into the bathroom to clear her mind with cold water. The person reflected in the mirror in front of Nola seemed surreal. Everything seemed like an illusion to her. It was hard to believe she actually married Elvis.

She must constantly remind herself of the condition between Elvis and her.

“You have to be sensible, Nola.” she said to herself again. An ordinary girl like Nola could easily lose her bearing being loved and cherished by a rich, perfect man like Elvis. Nola must remain sensible and not let emotions get the better of her.

Nola would never let what happened to her mother, Grace, happen to her.

After taking several deep breaths, Nola finally calmed down. She left the bathroom and sat as far as she could from Elvis.

Elvis knew what she was thinking. He cleared his throat and said, “You should sit here.”
