Chapter 29
It was already 10:30 when they got back to the hotel.
Latrina took a shower first, then lay down on the bed.
By the time Gerhart finished showering, she was already asleep.
Compared to the first day, she was a bit different today. She slept in the middle, and the little hands she usually clenched while sleeping were surprisingly relaxed.
He sat on the edge of the bed, tilted his head and looked at her perfect profile, reached out and touched her forehead, temperature’s normal.
Gerhart didn’t sleep. He just sat quietly by the bed, watching her curled up, hugging the pillow. Her golden curly hair was spread out on the milky white pillow, looking just like a Barbie doll.
There were just two pillows on the bed, one under her head, one in her arms.
He chuckled and still wanted to keep watching, but the buzzing of his phone kept interrupting him.
Her phone, a strange number.
He picked up her phone and took a look. The phone had stopped vibrating. The screen showed four missed calls, all from the same person.
He turned off the bedside lamp, left the floor lamp on, and walked out to the balcony with her phone.
The phone vibrated again, and he answered the call.
“Trina, don’t hang up yet!” Eduardo’s voice.
Gerhart lifted the corners of his mouth in a slight smile and didn’t say anything.
“Trina, you finally answered the phone! Sorry, I was drunk that day! I really didn’t know I would do something so nasty! I’ve already been punished!”
“Trina, Sonya and I were already over, and I didn’t care what was going on between you and Gerhart. Could you just not leave me?”
Eduardo’s tone was really humble. It seemed pitiful and even a bit ridiculous.
He should have still been in the hospital at that time. Gerhart heard a nurse asking him something quietly on the phone. His voice was a bit shaky too, so it seemed like he wasn’t recovering very well.
“Mr. Gillespie,” Gerhart said.
Eduardo heard it was a man’s voice. He panicked, seemed to jump up from the bed, tore his wound, and went “hiss-” with a painful groan.
“Who are you? Where’s Trina? Why do you have her phone…”
“Mr. Gillespie.”
Gerhart interrupted his string of questions.

Eduardo went silent. He could feel the man opposite was terrifyingly calm, forcing him to stay composed to seem commanding.
He hadn’t expected a man beside Latrina who chilled people the moment he spoke.
“She was tired, just went to bed.”
This sentence spoke for itself, just a few words, and it completely crushed Eduardo.
“Who are you! What’s your relationship! Trina never let anyone just walk into her bedroom!”
“Eduardo! Did you call that bitch again…”
There was a burst of hurried high heels coming from the closed room.
“Oh no! The wound split open again…”
“Doctor! Doctor…”
The other side was in a panic.
“Did Mr. Gillespie want to know?”
Gerhart replied calmly and turned back to his room.
“Shut up, all of you!” Eduardo roared. They froze in silence.
Gerhart put his phone by the bed and didn’t hang up.
He hunched over, lowered his head to look at the little woman in front of him, gently brushed her baby–like cheek with his big hand, and called out softly:.
Trina…”
Um…” Latrina mumbled sleepily.
“…wanna”
One word from him, and Eduardo finally let his tears fall.
Latrina slowly opened her eyes and looked at Gerhart, who was so close. She was awake.
“Um…”
Gerhart kissed him, and then, from Eduardo’s phone, came Latrina’s soft moan.
He looked at the phone by the bed, and smugly closed his eyes.
A big hand ran through her hair, stopped at the back of her head, held her there, and kissed her even more tenderly,
Latrina didn’t even have time to react, no chance to resist. The pleasure on her body just made her sink into
Gerhart’s caresses.
His big hand was moving around under the blanket.
“…Uh…don’t…”
Latrina grabbed it, and her nervous protests sounded more like playful teasing.

“Um…”
Eduardo heard Gerhart’s hoarse voice on the phone.

He hung up the phone with shaking hands, his knuckles turning white as he gripped his phone, his back teeth clenched tight, and his eyes wide and bloodshot…
In his memory, Latrina was a self–disciplined and well–mannered woman. She wouldn’t get close to just any guy. Even as her boyfriend of five years, he only got to hold her hand, and sometimes he even had to ask for permission to do that.
Two years in college, two years in a long–distance relationship, and this past year together–it was five years of dating, and she never crossed the line.

If not for her family background, he might have thought she was a well–bred lady from a wealthy family.
And today, she was actually lying in another man’s arms, her voice sweet and seductive. Even though he wasn’t there, just hearing her on the phone could make Eduardo blush.
He couldn’t imagine her in bed having sex with a man. Eduardo totally broke down. He gripped his phone tigh and smashed it against the wall. It shattered the moment it hit the ground.
“…Gerhart”
Latrina used both hands to push him off her rationally, her hands burning on his chest. She was trembling, and her breathing got rapid because of him.
But even with his glasses on, Gerhart couldn’t hide the desire in his eyes behind the lenses.
She didn’t know why he got so passionate at this moment. He was still a gentleman earlier today. Was he actually a beast when it came to this kind of thing?
Gerhart swallowed and wiped the sweat off Latrina’s forehead.
“…Sorry, I just wanted to kiss you, that’s all.”
Latrina admitted she just liked it, but for some reason, she pushed him away.
So conflicted.
She remembered what Oaklyn said, “So you two only did it the first night and never again? Just enjoy it, girl, he totally looks like he knows how to have sex…”
Her face suddenly felt hot.
It was only later, after things got really deep between them, that Latrina realized Oaklyn was right. Yeah, he really was good at it.
During the day, he was gentle and calm, but at night, he was rebellious and domineering.
He showed all his wildness without holding anything back, and every part of him was full of terrifying aggression.
Gerhart slowly got up, turned his back, and fixed the buttons on his clothes that had somehow all come

undone.
“You…” She sat up and said carefully, “Give me a little more time…”
“Okay.”

Latrina hurriedly pulled her torn clothes together, put her pants back on, and then walked into the bathroom.
“God, what are you still hesitating for with such a handsome guy? He said it was his own idea, but actually he was just saving your face. You were the one who made the first move, but he still took the blame himself. He’s rich and got it all, why let him go? You’re already married anyway, isn’t that kind of thing bound to happen sooner or later?!”
Waves of self–comfort came to her mind.
At the very least, he wasn’t as bad as Eduardo!
Ha!
Latrina looked like she had made up her mind, undid the third button on her chest, showed her white collarbone, and tugged at her clothes awkwardly.
Give it a try!
But when she was already prepared, she felt a warm rush come out at the wrong time.
Wasn’t it a bummer that my period came at this time?
She walked out of the bathroom awkwardly and turned on the room light.
Gerhart was already lying in bed, but he wasn’t asleep, just looking at his phone.
She opened the cabinet, looking for something, but just couldn’t find what she wanted.
What are you looking for?” Gerhart put down his phone.
Latrina looked a bit embarrassed and closed the cabinet. “Uh… Aunt Flo is visiting.”
Your aunt? This late?”
A classic straight–man moment..
“…”
There was a two–second pause before he realized,
‘Oh… right. I forgot girls have… this kind of thing.”
He jumped up, threw on his coat without even changing, and said, “I’ll go get… I mean, I’ll go buy it.”
