Tiana hurriedly fastened her buttons, her cheeks flushed as she shot a glare at Enoch. “I wasn’t trying to seduce you.”
She felt that Enoch didn’t understand her at all. If she really wanted to attract a man, she certainly wouldn’t be wearing sucht conservative pajamas.
As if he could see right through her thoughts, a hint of a smile crept onto his lips. “Try a little harder next time.”
Tiana parted her red lips and silently mouthed the words “Go away” to him.
Enoch was amused by her flustered reaction. “Ms. Schneider, that’s quite rude of you.”
“I don’t mind being rude; I don’t need you to like me. Your Jocelyn can be polite all she wants,” she retorted.
Enoch raised an eyebrow. “Why bring her up?”
Tiana took a bite of her barbecue and huffed. “Weren’t you on a date with her in the backyard last night?”
Hearing the sarcasm in her voice, Enoch wasn’t angered. He inserted a straw into her milkshake for her. “We weren’t on a date. I just went out for a smoke, and she followed me.”
Tiana took a sip of her milkshake, which was her favorite coconut flavor. She smacked her lips. “Enoch, you really are quite the charmer. Jocelyn is busy trying to seduce Simon while still clinging to you.”
Enoch remained silent. Noticing the beads of sweat forming on Tiana’s forehead, he leaned closer to her.
“What are you doing?” Tiana asked.
He pulled out a small fan from a plastic bag, which was a gift came with the barbecue. “You’re sweating,” he said.
As he fanned her, he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. The warmth of his fingertips brushed against her skin, sending a shiver down her spine. She shot him a glare “You sitting next to me is making me hotter.”
“I’ll fan you more,” he replied, his voice low and slightly husky, laced with a hint of tenderness and indulgence.
Tiana glanced at Enoch, surprised to see that he had changed out of the black shirt and was now wearing the white T–shirt she had bought for him at the mall. His physique was impressive, with broad shoulders and well–defined chest muscles. subtly outlined beneath the fabric.
She couldn’t help but admire his chiseled profile; from this angle, his high nose and thin lips, combined with a sharply defined jaw, made him look incredibly handsome.
Thinking of something, she furrowed her brow slightly. “I heard you got into a fight with Simon. Did you get hurt?” Enoch let out a low chuckle at her words. Tiana looked at him crossly. “What’s so funny!”
Instead of answering her question, he said, “He kicked me in the chest, and it still hurts.”
“Really?” Tiana was somewhat surprised, unable to believe that someone like Enoch could get hurt by Simon.
Looking into her skeptical eyes, Enoch lowered his voice. “There’s a huge bruise.”
Tiana quickly put down the piece of barbecue she was holding and reached out to check his shirt. “Let me see it.”

She lifted the hem of his T–shirt to look at his chest. In the dim light, Enoch’s muscular chest was early defined and w skin was smooth without a bruise in sight. A teasing laugh echoed from above her. “I was just kidding, sitry”

With a languid expression, Enoch looked at her. “We’ve been married for half a year, shouldn’t we taler the sent me time to cultivate our feelings?”
“I’m not trying to cultivate any feelings with you! I told you, I won’t fall for any man again” Tiana replied
Enoch’s thin, red lips tightened slightly beneath his straight nose. He stared at her for a few seconds before ding and walking over to her. “Then let’s not talk about feelings.

Seeing him lean down towards her, she frowned. “You…”
He pressed his hands against the stone table behind her, his muscular chest nearly touching hers, his lips close to rese where his warm breath enveloped her. “Let’s just talk about sex.”

Before Tiana could react, he kissed his way from her car to her lips. He cradled the back of her head with one large band to prevent her from knocking it against the stone table.
His kiss was deep and passionate, filling Tiana’s mind with confusion for a moment. Her entire body tensed up quesining whether he had lost his mind. They were at Love Nest Villa, and anyone could walk in at any ti
Not willing to let Enoch go wild, she pushed him away with all her strength. Enoch didn’t resist noticing her suggeste immediately released her. “Ms. Schneider, do you remember what I said?”
Tiana’s long eyelashes fluttered slightly, her delicate skin tinged with a soft blush from Enoch’s previous kiss. However Enoch stood before her, calm as if nothing had happened.
Her eyes seemed misty as she shot him a cold, annoyed glare. “No.”
Enoch chuckled. “It’s okay if you don’t. I’m here to remind you
He took her hand and wrote a line in her palm. [Outside, I’m yours; in bed, you’re mine]
Tiana was too furious to speak. She didn’t want to admit she understood the meaning behind his words
“I refuse! Besides, except for that one drunken time, I’m never playing hide the sausage with you again” she exclaimed
Enoch squinted slightly, curious. “What does playing hide the sausage mean?
“Forget it,” “Tiana said.
Enoch’s gaze lingered on Tiana, who was blushing furiously yet remained beautiful and charming. His throat involuntarily bobbed with a swallow.
Feeling that being with Enoch was even more dangerous than with Simon, Tiana hurried to leave. But just a few steps later. she turned back and grabbed the milkshake she had taken only a couple of sips of

Seeing her actions, Enoch let out a low laugh. The sound seemed to resonate from the depths of his throat–deep, magnetic, and captivating. Tiana almost fell to the ground after hearing it.
She dashed up to the third floor. Just as she was about to enter her room, she spotted Simon approaching from the shadows. “Tiana, it’s late. Who were you out meeting? That bodyguard?” he asked.
A sharp pain throbbed at her temples; she had experienced too much trouble that r
night.
“Tiana, he twisted my wrist,” Simon said, extending his bandaged wrist toward her. He expected her to show the usual concern, but her reaction was different this time.
Tiana glanced at his wrist coldly. “Then go twist his wrist.”
Simon fell silent. As she pushed the door to her room open, Simon’s raspy voice broke the tension. “I suspect he’s being kept by some wealthy woman from Jadewick.”
Tiana was taken aback but quickly regained her composure and sneered. “If you want, you can go find a rich woman, too.” Simon’s face was livid. After Tiana retreated into her room, he lingered for a while before finally leaving.
Though she was still mad at him, he could sense that her feelings for Enoch were nonexistent. Tiana was too proud of a person to ever fall for a bodyguard. He believed she was simply using the bodyguard to provoke him.
In the backyard, Enoch sat in the chair where Tiana had been. He took out his phone and posted a message on a forum. [What does “play hide the sausage” mean?]
Before long, several replies came in.
[Play hide the sausage? It means having sex!]
Are you a caveman with no internet?]
[Who are you trying to hook up with?]
[If you can’t handle it, let me take over!]
Maintaining a blank expression, Enoch deleted the post. He slowly muttered to himself, “My dear, one day I will make you willingly play hide the sausage with me.”
The next morning. Tristan arrived with the filming crew to begin shooting at seven o’clock.
[The early bird catches the worm. I’ve been waiting for Tianoch the whole night!]

II need some Simcelyn crumbs!]
[Aradeon is the best!]
In the kitchen, someone had already started making breakfast. Tristan glanced over and was surprised to see it was jocelyn.
Jocelyn was wearing a white short–sleeved shirt and a black skirt, her smooth long hair cascading over her shoulders, held back by a headband. The black and white combination made her look both elegant and intellectual.

Chapter 24
“Jocelyn, are you making breakfast? Tristan asked.
Jocelyn turned to the camera, setting down her spatula to greet him. “Yes! Arabella and Gideon didn’t have dinner last night, so I thought they must be hungry. I don’t have a habit of sleeping in, so I got up to make something for the guests”
She smiled softly. “Just doing what I can!”
[Oh my God! Jocelyn is so diligent and considerate!]
[Beautiful inside and out–another day to cheer for Josie!]
[The internet truly has no memory. I still have that unflattering no–makeup picture of Jocelyn saved from last night!]
Someone sent the picture of Jocelyn with no makeup. [Just to remind you all.]
[You’re just a brainless hater. How much did Tiana pay you to hate on Josie? And so what if Tiana looks pretty? Did she get up and prepare breakfast for everyone? Josie has so many things to do that she has no time for beauty sleep, unlike some lazy bitch!]
At that moment, the other guests began to arrive one by one.
Arabella stretched and prepared to head to the gym. Seeing her, Jocelyn offered a gentle smile and said, “Bella, I made some noodles. Have some when you’re done.”
Arabella waved her hand dismissively. “Sorry, I don’t eat carbs in the morning.”
Jocelyn then looked over at Gideon and Enoch, but neither acknowledged her. She could only turn to Simon, who hadn’t slept well the night before and had faint dark circles under his eyes. When he noticed Jocelyn looking at him with sadness in her eyes, he nodded. “I can have some.”
[That’s a real couple.]
Gideon and that bodyguard are so rude; Jocelyn made them breakfast, but they just ignored her.
[The freeloader is so disgusting.]
[Put away your double standards and stop assaulting others! Did Jocelyn ever consider others‘ preferences? Everyone has different tastes; I don’t like eating noodles for breakfast either.]
Enoch went to another kitchen. He stood in front of the stove and asked Gideon in a low voice. “How about a double butter roll, a soft–boiled egg and cheese bacon toast, and a cheese and ham pie?”
A faint smile appeared on Gideon’s usually cold handsome face. That sounds good, thank you.”
[I kinda ship them; I’m a Lancaston shipper now.]
[Wow, Gideon even smiled at that bodyguard. How could they become so close after just one night?
[Bad news for Tianoch and Aradeon shippers.]
Enoch took ingredients out of the fridge, his expression serious and focused as he began preparing breakfast. With his eyelids lowered, his eyelashes appeared long and thick. His hands were long and slender, clean and well–defined.
I’m sure he’s well–endowed; I can tell it from his straight nose.]
[The nose can’t tell you anything. You need to check the size of his neck.]

[No, no, it’s all about the hands and feet.]
[Height and nose don’t prove anything; you need to see the real deal.]
[What are you all talking about? I’m too young to understand.]
[Why are you discussing this in the morning?]
[These are all valuable insights.]
[I’m learning so much!]
