Nolan was shocked. He resisted the urge rising inside of him and pushed Jeanne away.
"What are you doing, Jeanne?" he questioned her.
At that moment, she felt like her body was on fire. She looked at him with a craving gaze and asked, "Don't you want me, Nolan? I'll have you know that I'm clean and pure! Stop hiding your feelings and don't reject me, Nolan!"
After she said that, she pounced at him again with reddened eyes.
However, Nolan was able to react this time. He grabbed her hands and said softly, "You're drunk."
Slowly, Jeanne sobered up a little. Then, her gaze turned cold. It was as if his rejection was the greatest humiliation she had ever received.
She said, "Even when I'm pouncing onto you myself, you're still pushing me away… You're humiliating me!"
He looked at her and calmly said, "I'm not doing that. I just don't want you to regret it in the future."
When Jeanne heard that, she said angrily, "In that case, you can regret it yourself later!"
She was ready to leave after that.
Suddenly, after a brief moment of silence, Nolan said softly, "Don't leave yet."
She stopped in her tracks and looked back at him in disdain. "What's wrong? Are you regretting it now? Do you want me now? Fine. Beg me, and I'll let you have me!"
Even when she was mocking him in anger, she still stubbornly wanted to give herself to him.
Nolan just sighed and shook his head. "That's not it."
He smiled subtly and said, "Maybe I just want to get my revenge on Megan. After all, once you've surpassed her, she'll definitely be upset."
When Jeanne heard that, she nodded with a smile. "Suddenly, I'm starting to like you more. Are you really not going to consider me? After all, I'm not going to hold you responsible. Don't you want to be free for once?"
As she spoke, she looked at him flirtatiously and poked him in his chest.
He just smiled and said, "I don't have to be responsible. I'm just worried that you might want me to be!"
Jeanne harrumphed and pulled her hand back. "I'll call this number when I'm free. Then, I'll expose your true colors! Of course, if this number really is as useful as you've said, then I'll be pestering you forever. Don't worry. I don't want your love or fame. I'll just give myself to you for changing my fate!"
With that, she left right away as Nolan quietly watched her from behind.
