The young lady in Rhode’s embrace leaned in closely Both of the-term inti for the night, but…
A finger pushed against his lips and stopped his advances
“Marlene?”
Rhode gazed dubiously at her He realized that Marlene appeared a little off at the moment Her s else he couldn’t explain clearly Although her soft, slender body had leaned into hiet aith it, Rhode”
“I don’t intend to”
Rhode shrugged in surprise In fact, what he said was the truth He was confident that he wouldn’t fail, but it served no purpose for him to explain further However, what astonished him was that Marlene shook her head unexpectedly
“I wasn’t referring to that, Rhode… It’s regarding Lize Don’t you have so to say to me?”
“…”
Rhode stood in amazement
Back then, he had expected the day would arrive when he first pushed Lize down on the bed However, he also hadthis , Marlene was his woirlfriend, or perhaps, if Rhode were to assess her as the one who he had to love with all his heart, pamper, and marry in the future, then their relationshi+p wasn’t this way at all The start of their intis developed naturally thereafter Marlene had never requested for Rhode to call her loving names while he had never intended to say that he would only love her forever The development of their relationshi+p had always beenLize with an open ree to his words
Therefore, Rhode had left this matter aside just like his relationshi+p with Canary Even though Lize and Marlene knew about their relationshi+p, they had never mentioned it But now, Marlene raised this question to hiive an answer
Fortunately, Rhode was experienced in these situations His expression stiffened for a shortlady’s eyes quietly and revealed a smile
“It seems that you know about it?”
“Of course Lize is my best friend, so how can I not know?”
Marlene displayed a smile abruptly and took a step away from his embrace Before Rhode came to his senses…
Smack!
A sharp, intense pain struck his cheek and forced a painful shriek out of hiht wrist and showed a satisfied expression “I’ve finally taken e, Rhode Ah, but I’ve to put it up front I didn’t slap you because you did things with Lize behind my back Instead, this is for my defenseless best friend as discontent that you pushed and held her down on bed, that’s all”
“If you put it that way… I don’t really have any reasons to retort”
Rhode touched his stinging cheek and let out a bitter laugh He had to admit that Marlene had indeed found a decent entry point which he could only accept hopelessly Marlene nodded in satisfaction and took a few steps back She smiled, lifted the heht then, Rhode, I hope you’ll have a good drea Rhode alone in the htly Rhode laid down his hand and shrugged helplessly It seeht she would be… Nevertheless, is this considered h at the sight of the eo to bed…
“Is that really fine? Marlene?”
Lize waited anxiously by the corridor She turned to her close friend worriedly as soon as the flauished
“Will Mr Rhode be fine… Should I… check on hiht, Lize? Didn’t we agree to it? If you give up so easily, wouldn’t it spoil everything that we’ve done?” Marlene unrolled a witty smile and stuck out her lips
“Besides, weren’t you the one who suggested this?”
“But… If we treat Mr Rhode this way…”
Lize lowered her head with a hesitant expression “… Besides… Should we do it? Marlene… I… feel e about it…”
“Don’t worry too much We’ll have to do it sooner or later”
Marlene stroked Lize’s hair gently
“It’s late now, so let’s call it a day… Eh?”
Marlene turned around abruptly and looked at the other end of the corridor There was nothing apart fro candle flaaze
“What’s wrong? Marlene? What happened?”
“… That’s weird I thought I saw so by there, but there isn’t anyone…”
Marlene frowned and scanned the corridor Then, she shook her head
“I’h Rhode considered it a loss to ht with Marlene, he didn’t dwell on it He entered dreamland as soon as he laid on the bed The dense darkness of the sky shrouded the whole Fortress, where even thethe corridor diical candle flareen radiance blew through the corridor It penetrated through the thick doors and fluttered the curtains Then, it whirled on the spot and transforure
