"There's really no need. It's just a short walk."
I insisted on getting out of the car. I had to. I felt a little shameful. I was maintaining an improper relationship with Brandon while holding on to Dylan. I hated myself.
I knew that I had to make a choice between Brandon and Dylan soon. Even though I knew that I could never be with Brandon, it was still unacceptable for me to play around with two men like this.
"But it's so late now. It's not safe for a girl like you to be wandering around."
Dylan slowed down the car and looked at me with a frown, with worry in his eyes.
"It's okay. We're very close to my place. I'll be home soon."
I still insisted. After what happened at the restaurant, I felt a little lost. I wanted to tell Dylan the entire truth, but I couldn't bring myself to say it now.
"Well, send me a message when you get home, or I will be worried."
Dylan stopped the car and told me worriedly.
"Okay, got it."
I responded faintly and got out of the car.
Dylan looked at me worriedly and then drove away.
I walked alone down the sidewalk and struggled with my thoughts. Should I tell Dylan everything? If I kept up this ambiguous relationship with him, it was unfair to him.
I couldn't decide what to do along the way. I had to admit that I was a selfish person, so I couldn't decide. I didn't know what to do.
I went back to the Serpent Road. As soon as I opened the door, I was pulled in suddenly from the inside. I was shocked, but before I could process what was going on, I was pressed against the wall roughly.
The force was so strong that it hurt my back. I took a deep breath and stared at Brandon angrily.
"Brandon, what are you doing? You hurt me!"
Brandon gripped my wrist tightly with both hands and stared at me coldly.
"You left the restaurant so long ago. Where have you been? What did you do with Dylan?"
As soon as Brandon opened his mouth, he questioned aggressively.
I was already in a bad mood. Now that I was questioned like this, I was even angrier.
"What does it have to do with you where I went? Do I have to report whatever I do to you ?"
I was really irritated. What was his relationship with me? Why did he question me in such a tone? My life had become hard just because of his existence.
He and I were not from the same world. He had money and power, and he was very handsome. There are at least hundreds of women who want to marry him. If he got tired and decided to settle down, he could do it at any time. But I couldn't.
I was just an ordinary girl from the countryside. I didn't have a rich family, and I was already at the age of marriage. My parents have been worried that I haven't found a suitable marriage partner. I had a lot of pressure riding on me. I was tired.
I really wanted to find someone to rely on now. I didn't need my husband to love me, I just needed to rely on him.
It was already very difficult for me to work in a city alone. I still had to make money to support my family and deal with my brother's shenanigans. I just wanted to have a warm place to rely on when I'm tired.
Brandon knew that I was deliberately going against him. His expression froze as he looked at me suspiciously. "Hollie, do you want to make our relationship public?"
There was suspicion in Brandon's eyes. He looked at me coldly.
"Hollie, I advise you not to have any improper thoughts. Otherwise, I will make you regret it! You can only be my bed companion. Don't even think about trying to make our relationship public!"
He looked at me coldly and didn't give me a chance to speak. His hot breath was blowing on my face, but his voice was full of danger.
I looked into his cold eyes and I panicked. I didn't dare to look into his eyes again. He was so oppressive that I didn't have the courage to look into his eyes, but what he said made me very angry.
"Mr Sutton, you're thinking too much. I don't want to make our relationship public at all. Becauseit's a stain on my life!"
I spoke these words loudly without any sign of weakness. This man had really gone overboard tonight. Even though I couldn't deny that a lot of women wanted to sleep with him, it didn't mean that every woman wanted to!
