Chapter 536

Huntley's expression stiffened, and he got to his feet slowly before narrowing his eyes at Juliana.

“Ms. Juliana, there are some things you should never joke about, for they'll bring you to ruin.”

Juliana swung her feet, and in turn, the swing she was on swayed with her movements.

“How do you know I was joking? Since you've found out that I've fallen for Zeke, you should know that anything's possible. It's not that weird for me to have had sex with him.”

To that, Huntley chuckled softly and said, “If you really had slept with him, you two wouldn't have subjected yourself to the mercy of fate like this, given how your temperaments are. Now that news of Ms. Gourd's pregnancy has spread throughout Hallsbay, it just proves that Zeke doesn't care about you at all. Ms. Juliana, you should stop lying to yourself. That man doesn't belong to you.”

Juliana jumped off the swing and strode toward Huntley. Sneering, she said, “If he doesn't belong to me, who does belong to me, then? You?”

Huntley reached out and wrapped an arm around her waist before flashing her a faint smile. “I could indeed become yours. All of me, from my body to my heart, can be yours.”

As he spoke, he stretched out a slender and defined finger before gently brushing it across Juliana's delicate lips, his movement sensual and ambiguous.

Juliana struggled against his touch for a moment, and when she realized that it didn't deter him, she growled, “Huntley, how dare you touch me! Are you trying to rebel?”
