With Glades about to explode, she could only thicken her skin and act coquettishly.
Listening to her own tender and delicate voice, Julia Bluen was covered in goosebumps; a shiver made her feel as if they were scattering all over the floor.
Several dark lines crossed Glades Horne's handsome face. He wanted to be angry but couldn't summon the rage. He wanted to laugh but couldn't manage to. In a word, he was at his wit's end.
This woman had now mastered his weaknesses. She knew how to attack where he was vulnerable, making him feel a mix of love, pity, annoyance, and helplessness towards her.
She truly was a cunning one!
