Chapter 109


Tessa, who had already fallen asleep, immediately pouted and let out a soft whimper before clutching tightly onto Stephen's collar.

"Are you awake?" Stephen leaned in and placed his hands on both sides of Tessa's body as he looked down at her.

"Zal..." Tessa's eyes remained closed as she moved her lips and mumbled, "Zal..."

Zal? Zachary? Zachary Gomez?

Was she really calling out for Zachary despite being drunk?

It was already bad enough that she had drunkenly spouted nonsense outside, claiming that he had a problem in certain aspects. Yet, she now had the audacity to call for Zachary?

She hadn't even slept with him yet, so how could she possibly know if he could get it up or not?

Stephen furrowed, feeling a sudden chill in his heart. What an ungrateful little thing.

Straightening up, he looked down at Tessa. His voice was low and laced with displeasure. "Do you still have feelings for him?"

Despite knowing that she could not hear him, he still asked the question.
