C13 A Poisonous Man!

Layne did not react at all. He glanced at her indifferently, turned around, and returned to the wine cabinet to pour another cup of wine.

After a while, he sat at the bar counter and asked her, "You just said that you still have to go to school? University?"

"Yes, second year..." Lauren's voice was still trembling.

"In other words, you won't have any income for the next month. I have to take care of all your expenses and help you find a school. Of course, if you don't want to spend my money, I will allow you to work part-time and be self-sufficient. But... you have to take care of my life, food, and living, including attending all kinds of activities. This is your responsibility as my woman, and it also includes satisfying my physical needs. I can give you time to prepare mentally, but it won't be long. Understand?"

Lauren did not expect that this seemingly cold and heartless man would actually give her such a big concession. She was stunned for a long time and did not come back to her senses.

Seeing that she did not agree, Layne could not help but turn his head and frown. "Are you still not satisfied?"

"No, thank you!"

Lauren could not describe what she felt in her heart, so she could only use gratitude to replace it.

This man was cold and evil. He was domineering, but he was meticulous and would not force her. He was willing to give her time to accept it.

This was the most fortunate thing that happened tonight, wasn't it?

"Thanking me is not something that can be said verbally, but it can be proven with actions. Let's stop here for today. It's getting late, so let's sleep. I still have to go to the company tomorrow morning."

Saying that, Layne walked to the bedside and took off his bathrobe in front of Lauren. He then put on his underwear and slipped into the bed.

Lauren's face turned red and she almost jumped out of the bed.

"You... You want to sleep on the bed?" she stuttered.

"Of course! It's already my best compromise. Do you want me to sleep on the sofa?"

Layne narrowed his eyes and his tone became a little dangerous.

"I... I didn't mean that. It's just..."

It was so strange to sleep in the same bed as her, not to mention that she didn't even wear any clothes.

Didn't he say that he would give her time to accept it? Why did he suddenly change his mind?

Layne saw through her thoughts once again and couldn't help but smile. "Duncan said that you were still very clean. You didn't even have the basic contact with each other, did you?"

It was as if she had been exposed. Lauren's face turned even redder. She turned away awkwardly and said in a small voice, "My mother said that girls should know how to protect themselves. The most important thing is to leave it to the person they love after marriage."

"Your mother taught you well!"

Layne praised her sincerely. He seemed to be in a good mood and the coldness on his face and eyebrows faded a little. "Lie down. I have always been good at self-control. I won't have that kind of thought for an adult girl who has not fully developed. What's more, your figure is not enough to make people think of committing crimes."

After saying that, he turned around and went to sleep with his back facing her.

Lauren stared at his back and was speechless.

She was not interested in him, so why did he have to make her look like this? What a venomous tongue!

The next morning, when Lauren woke up, the sun was already shining brightly.

She sat up from the bed. The seat next to her was empty, and the man who should have been sleeping next to her was nowhere to be seen.

Where did Layne go?
