While having breakfast, Tessa glanced at Faye from time to time, trying to find any hint of suspicion on his face, but there was none. He was as calm as could be.
The bet was about self-control, and his self-control was impressive. Even when they got married, no matter how she tempted him, he could always hit the brakes halfway.
But back then, she was only subtly enticing, and besides, later on, he couldn't always control himself.
He couldn't believe that within a month, no matter how many times, he could hold back completely.
Moreover, if he flirted with her, she might have a reaction, but she believed in herself, she would never actively say something like "beg you to come in..."
She went to the kitchen to teach Douglas how to stew soup and ran into Xavier Warren in the living room when she came out.
It seemed like it wasn't a coincidence, as Xavier Warren seemed to be waiting for her.
Tessa gave him a sidelong glance, "What do you want with me?"
