CHAPTER 88: CHAPTER 79: RELIVING THE HAPPINESS OF SIX YEARS AGO

She didn’t dare to look down...

The scenes from last night instantly replayed in her mind.

At the most critical moment, The Demon King appeared to rescue her, then took her back to the hotel room, and even told her to take a cold shower...

Later, he came in.

After that, it was her taking the initiative...

She was drunk! So embarrassing!

Her cheeks instantly turned as red as big apples, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into, too ashamed to face anyone.

Jason Hawthorne squinted at the changes in her expression, knowing she must have remembered everything, and teased, "Remember what you did last night?"

Laura Quincy mumbled, "I..."

Jason Hawthorne slowly added, "You need to take responsibility for me."

Laura Quincy looked at him incredulously, "What?"

Jason Hawthorne raised his eyebrows slightly, "Last night, it was you who took the initiative."

Even though she knew that was the case, Laura Quincy still found it hard to accept, "I..."

Jason Hawthorne didn’t wait for her to finish, adding, "Am I wrong?"

Laura Quincy looked embarrassed, "Thank you for saving me. Last night, I went into the wrong room..."

Jason Hawthorne raised his eyebrows, "You weren’t staying at this hotel at all, how could you go into the wrong room?"

Laura Quincy had no choice but to explain last night’s events in detail.

Jason Hawthorne looked at her, "You really are quite eager to help others!"

Laura Quincy heard the sarcasm in his words, "I... didn’t expect this to happen."

Jason Hawthorne snorted coldly, "Didn’t expect? You know that you should have been extra vigilant since you’re in a foreign country! If I hadn’t appeared in time last night, what were you planning to do?"

Laura Quincy was at a loss for words under his reproach. Everything The Demon King said made sense. If he hadn’t shown up, she... couldn’t even begin to imagine.

"How... how come you’re here?"

She suddenly thought of this question and couldn’t help but ask it out loud.

Jason Hawthorne threw off the covers and got up, "For business, and staying at this hotel by chance."

Laura Quincy felt a surge of indescribable emotion, "Oh..."

If last night she really had been subjected to that bearded man, her life from then on would have been overshadowed...

But why, with this man, didn’t she feel like she had been... violated?

Laura Quincy couldn’t bear to look at Jason Hawthorne as he stood up and walked towards the bathroom—that was too embarrassing...

Looking down at herself, she realized she was covered in red marks like plum blossoms.

She couldn’t help but pat her blushing cheeks. After last night, what was she going to do now? Could she completely clear her relationship with The Demon King?

He also said she had to take responsibility?

Just thinking about it gave her a headache!

Hearing the sound of water splashing from the bathroom, Laura Quincy rolled around on the bed, wrapped in the blanket, utterly embarrassed...

Suddenly, she thought of a very serious problem: her phone was missing, and Nina Pierce must have been worried sick not finding her the whole night.

She quickly picked up the bedside phone to call her, but couldn’t make an international call, so she would have to wait for The Demon King to finish his shower and borrow his phone.

She was right, Nina Pierce hadn’t slept a wink all night, her dark circles were frightening. She had decided that if she couldn’t find Laura, she wouldn’t go back for the time being either.

Just as she was becoming increasingly anxious, making the worst assumptions, she suddenly got an unknown call.

"Nina, it’s Laura. I lost my phone..."

Before Laura Quincy could finish speaking, her friend cut her off, "Laura Quincy, you brat! You finally appeared! Do you have any idea how scared you made me?! Where are you now? Have you been kidnapped? How much do they want? I’ll bankrupt myself to get you back."

Nina Pierce rattled off a whole bunch, her emotions extraordinarily agitated.

Laura Quincy felt a flood of warmth, "Nina, I’m sorry! I’m fine. I’ll come find you now, and we can talk in person."

With The Demon King waiting by her side, she couldn’t say these things out loud, of course they had to wait until meeting face-to-face with her bestie.

Nina Pierce immediately shouted, "I’ll come to find you! Quickly send me the address!"

Laura Quincy could only say, "I’m at the hotel the tour guide took me to last night. I’ll wait for you in the lobby."

Nina Pierce responded, "Okay, I’ll be right there."

After hanging up, Laura Quincy returned the phone to Jason Hawthorne, "Thanks!"

Jason Hawthorne basically overheard their conversation. You couldn’t blame him for eavesdropping—the girl’s voice was just too loud.

"Your friend cares a lot about you."

"Yeah, Nina is my best friend. I need to go find her now. She must have been worried all night without sleeping."

With that, Laura Quincy was ready to leave.

But the clothes she wore last night were totally unwearable now...

Jason Hawthorne said leisurely, "I’ve already had clothes sent over."
