Snce the kiss dab\u2019t happen, kmity was disasted. However, seeing that Willsam chestrly wanted to kiss Scarlet made her heyy. She said cheerfully. \u201cScarket is just shy Your two can kiss in your room later\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlet sat down to eat, not saving a word. For the rest of the meal, William ware cheuly distractest He barely touched his food.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After dinner, William sat akne in a wicker chair on the terrace the chilling winter wind swept across his sharp, handsome Eaces, which shows not a trace of emotion & coatte burned between his lips te dishu\u2019t move, eyes narrowed as he stared out into the night\u00a0<\/p>\n
Footsteps approached hatian set a bottle of lispor and two glasses on the round glace table and took a seat beside him He poured two drinks, saying, \u201cNot going to best What are you thinking about, sitting out here all alone\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wilham stared at the deep bh night sky in the distance After a moment, he spoke slowly \u201cfulian, I really envy you SOUNAS\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
M\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy Julian asked\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201csure we were kids, you\u2019ve always gotten everything good You\u2019re Mom and Dad\u2019s favorite, you have their trust, and everything in the Cooper family is yours the whole world belongs to you,\u201d William said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was no surprise on Julian\u2019s face, as though he had long known this was how William felt. Be said, \u201cWilliam, you have no idea how much I envy your treedom\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Amocking smile tugged at William\u2019s lips as he slouched back into the chair. \u201cEverything a person gets comes with a hidden price tag. You envy my freedom, how I didn\u2019t have to undergo training to become an heir, or how I didn\u2019t have to master the skills you were forced to learn since you were young But that\u2019s not a privilege, pilian. It\u2019s because that right was taken away\u00a0<\/p>\n
from me\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, when you went to Amriva, was it to prove to Mom and Dad that you could succeed even without the Cooper family?\u201d Julian asked\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNot entirely.\u201d William took the cigarette from his mouth and licked the ash away, his lowered lashes concealing his gaze. \u201cI wanted to prove that I\u2019m not inferior to you \u201c\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian fell silent for a moment. \u201cWilliam, you don\u2019t need to prove anything\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah\u201d William smiled bitterly. He took another drag of his cigarette, his tone cooling again. \u201cEven if I did, it wouldn\u2019t mean anything\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlet only realized the rack in the bathroom was empty when she finished showeringg and reached for a towel. The Cooper residence\u2019s household staff were all seasoned employees. This kind of basic mistake shouldn\u2019t happen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even if fresh towels hadn\u2019t been restocked that day, the spare towels shouldn\u2019t have disappeared as well. They had been there just the day before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was hard not to suspect Emily again. She had deliberately left Scarlet without a towel so she\u2019d have no choice but to call for help from the other person in the room. So, they had progressed from forced eye contact to making her run around naked now?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emily had sure put a lot of thought into this. However, she probably didn\u2019t know that William usually didn\u2019t sleep in this room, and that all this scheming was pointless\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, even if no one was in the room, it took courage to run out stark naked. Dripping in water, Scarlet slipped out of the bathroom and carefully made her way to the wardrobe to grab a spare towel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just as she opened the wardrobe and raised her arm, the door opened at that exact moment, and William walked in leisurely. When his eyes landed on her, he stopped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlet\u2019s mind exploded. She froze, too. She was still reaching upward, her damp black hair cascading over her shoulders like a waterfall. Water droplets slid down her stunned face, along her slender neck and delicate collarbones, flowing over her soft curves, and down her pale, delicate waist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There wasn\u2019t a single part of her that wasn\u2019t beautiful. She had a full, smooth behind, and further down, long and slender\u00a0<\/p>\n
legs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A few seconds later, or perhaps even less, William snapped out of the vividly sensual scene. He raised a brow. \u201cNo wonder Grandma confiscated my liquor and insisted I come upstairs. Turns out she prepared such a generous gift for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Flustered, Scarlet grabbed a piece of fabric from the wardrobe, not even knowing what it was, and wrapped it around herself to cover up. She said, \u201cThere were no towels in the bathroom.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can tell.\u201d William remained where he was, openly appreciating the view without the slightest intention of turning away.\u201d Grandma is so devious.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t move, and Scarlet couldn\u2019t change her clothes right in front of him. Her skin burned under his gaze, and she grew irritated. \u201cAre you done looking?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSince you ask it that way, then of course not,\u201d William replied casually, his eyes roaming over her. \u201cNow I\u2019m a little reluctant to divorce you, too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
