Chapter 345 A Hunter and His Prey
When she heard the voice, Reina's body stiffened for a moment.
The lights in the corridor were warm yellow. They mixed with the white light at the exit.
The two colors of lights changed on the man, reflecting his handsome face.
Reina stood in place and did not look back.
There was still no expression on her face, only the hands hanging by her side slowly tightened, revealing the
uneasiness and panic in her heart at the moment.
Reina did not look back at him until the man walked to her side.
Even if Reina did not look back, she could imagine his unhappy appearance.
He had said before that he disliked two things the most in his life, refusing and lying.
And now, Reina had made both of them.
Jaylon saw her nervousness and uneasiness at a glance. His gaze only lingered on her for a few seconds before
he indifferently looked away.
He had a lot of time for Reina to properly explain this matter. He wasn't in a hurry.
Reina couldn't escape.
When Reina saw him leave, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said to Aracely, "Ms. Tarleton, I suddenly
remembered that I had something to do, so forgive my departure."
Aracely was just about to ask the driver to drive Reina home when Jaylon said, "Stay here, or I'll get someone to
drive you."
His voice was cold and commanding.
Although he did not mention a name, everyone present knew that he was talking to Reina.
There was an indescribable atmosphere between the two of them, like a superior and his subordinate, but also like
a hunter and his prey.
Hearing this, Reina immediately stopped walking.
Other people might not understand the meaning behind Jaylon's words, but she was well aware of it.
He was warning Reina that if she did not stay, he would have someone bring her home directly.
Although Reina insisted that their relationship had been broken, she knew that as long as Jaylon was unwilling,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttheir relationship wouldn't end.
As for what would happen after Jaylon brought her back...
Reina had experienced it many times in the past, and now she did not want to experience it again.
If they had sex again, it would be difficult for Reina to escape from
Jaylon.
Seeing that Reina did not move, Jaylon withdrew his gaze.
Anaya noticed the unusual atmosphere between the two and asked, "Mr. Malpas, do you know Ms. Harward?"
"I dated her before."
"I don't know him."
Jaylon and Reina's voices sounded at the same time. One was steady and the other was flustered.
Reina seemed to want to cut ties with Jaylon, and her tone was a little urgent.
Jaylon's eyes darkened and he repeated to Anaya, "I once dated her."
This time, Reina did not deny it.
She was worried that Jaylon would reveal the transaction between
them.
If Jaylon didn't bring it up, she would have had no reason to retort
him.
Anaya was surprised by this answer.
These two people were from different classes. She couldn't imagine
how they met each other.
However, this was a private thing between the two of them, so it
was not good for Anaya to ask too much.
Jaylon and Hearst met each other's eyes, and both of them only
nodded as a greeting.
Aracely had designed quite a few small games for today's party.
After the youngsters played around, the two elders of the Tarleton
family arrived.
Seeing Catherine and David come in, Aracely immediately went over to hold their hands. "Dad, Mom, come over
and play games
together."
Catherine said with a smile, "Your dad and I just came here to take a look. You guys keep playing.
"We are too old to understand what you young people are playing."
Aracely flattered Catherine, "Mom, you look so good. You look even younger and prettier than me. You're not old at
all! If you play with us for a while, who knows which rich boy will fall in love with
you?"
David silently separated his wife and daughter's hands and pulled Catherine to his other side.
"Aracely, if you want a new father, just say it. I can cut ties with you
now and adopt a new daughter."
Aracely was speechless.
It sounded like for David, and his wife was more important than his
daughter.
The family of three chatted for a while. In the end, David and Catherine could not resist Aracely's persuasion and
followed her to
play the game.
Aracely had arranged several games tonight and was now playing
the king game.
She briefly explained the rules of the game to her parents and
began to wink at her friends.
Aracely planned to act closer to Winston first to see the reactions of
her parents.
If they felt unhappy about it, she would elope with Winston tonight
and run away for a while.
In the first few rounds of the game, the king only ordered others to
do some decent things, which were dull and dreary.
In the fourth round, Anaya drew the King.
Aracely secretly gestured and told Anaya about Winston's and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAracely's numbers.
Anaya nodded and issued her first order to everyone. "No. 3 and No.
5, kiss each other for ten seconds. Don't let go during the process."
David felt that Anaya's order was a bit unreasonable and said, "Ana, your request..."
Before he could finish his sentence, other players started to cheer.
David followed the crowd's sight and saw Aracely standing next to Winston, bending down to kiss him.
Although it was just a simple kiss, David was utterly stunned.
Catherine, who was beside David, immediately stood up and screamed, "Aracely Tarleton! What are you doing?"
When Catherine called her daughter by her full name, it meant that Catherine was angry.
When Aracely heard her mother's angry voice, her entire body
trembled.
Her mother had such a big reaction. It seemed that her love for
Winston would be difficult.
That was understandable. Winston had been raised by them like
their biological son. As a result, their adopted son and biological daughter ended up together. No one could accept
it.
Aracely stood up straight and faced Catherine. Aracely explained in
a low voice, "I am No. 3. Winston is No. 5. We are just completing the king's order..."
Catherine's expression was unprecedentedly serious. "Even if you are playing a game, you can't kiss Winston!"
Hearing this, Aracely felt a little uncomfortable. Although Aracely had long guessed that her parents would not
agree with their love, Catherine's reaction still hurt her.
Should Aracely choose a gentler way to test her parents' attitude?
Winston noticed Aracely's depression. He stood up and held Aracely's hand, wanting to pull her behind him.
Winston wooed Aracely in the first place, so he should be the one to
face Catherine's anger.
However, before he could do anything, Winston heard Catherine
continue, "How can you suddenly do this? Have you ever thought about how Winston feels? Even if you like him,
you can't do this
without his permission!" "What?" Aracely asked. What did Catherine just say?
