Daphne reached out to push him away after she realized what was happening.

However, Louis seemed to have sensed what she was about to do as he easily grabbed her hovering wrist.

He then moved his lips to just above her collarbone and kissed and sucked on the skin there.

Daphne's breath stopped for a moment, and her eyelashes trembled.

Aren't we going too fast?

Her voice was shaky as she struggled to speak. "S-Stop..."

Louis only looked up at her again, his eyes deep and intense when he drawled, "Do you still think of me as a child?"

Daphne felt a genuine sense of regret wash over her the moment she met his gaze.

Why did I stupidly provoke him this way?

Louis might only be 20 years old, but he is a man.

He also was in the prime of his youth.

Daphne didn't answer, but the panic in her eyes had already betrayed her.

At this moment, the faint sound of the doorbell came from outside.

It kept ringing in an urgent manner.

Somehow, the sound broke the intimate atmosphere in the bathroom.

Daphne turned her gaze to the side and stammered, "I-It should be someone from property management. I'll go and open the door..."

She was about to find an excuse to leave when Louis interrupted, "You stay here; I'll go."

With that, he stepped out of the bathroom.

Daphne finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But as she turned around, she saw herself in the mirror.

Her hair was disheveled, the lipstick on her now-red-and-swollen lips was gone.

Her eyes were watery.

Other than that, there were several red marks on her neck and collarbone.

She couldn't bear to look at herself.

Bending down, she splashed a handful of cold water on her face, trying to make herself more awake.

After a moment, she grabbed a face towel and wiped the water off her face.

The scenes from just now replayed in her mind.

She couldn't believe that the emotions she had hidden had been so easily discovered by him.

Outside, Louis closed the door after he told the property management personnel that the drain had been repaired.

When he returned, there was no one in the bathroom.

Daphne's voice then rang out from the bedroom. "I'm going to sleep! You can sleep on the couch!"

Louis' lips curled up slightly as he looked at the closed bedroom door. "Okay," he sighed.

Daphne sat on the bed in the bedroom, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket. Still, she couldn't stop the images flashing through her mind and the swelling sensation on her lips.
