Chapter 31

When Chris walked out of Cloudridge Valley, his head was buzzing, his mind in turmoil.

Kevin had been waiting downstairs. The moment he saw Chris‘ dark, stormy expression, and the bruises on his face, he couldn’t help but gasp.

“So, Miss Giovanni still refused, huh?” he asked.

Refusing to marry was one thing, but hitting someone? Kevin shuddered, thinking about Stephanie’s fiery temper.

Chris shot him a sharp, icy glance. Kevin instantly knew–another failure.

With a sigh, Kevin muttered, “You can’t just force these things. Women need to be coaxed.”

“Coaxed?” Chris sneered. The word dripped with sarcasm.

Kevin fell silent. Honestly, with Stephanie’s stubbornness, no amount of coaxing would work. People saw her as fiery–small in ability, big in attitude.

“Kevin,” Chris didn’t continue the topic. His eyes narrowed dangerously and spoke up. “Find out who that man she’s been spending time with is.”

Kevin blinked. “What? Another man?”

He stared at Chris in disbelief. “Miss Giovanni with another man? Impossible! She is always by herself. Even if someone is with her, it’s Miss Turner.”

In Kevin’s eyes, Stephanie was someone who wouldn’t even bother leaving the house.

She was definitely a couch potato, living off others, too proud to step outside. How could she possibly have another man around?
