Chapter 43 Isn’t Seducing Me All You Wanted?

In the afternoon, Phoenix took me to a fancy studio. He chose a gown and a cloak for me.

I also did my hair and makeup there.

When everything was done, I looked at myself in the mirror and pondered about my future.

All I could see was darkness.

It was sad and ridiculous.

In the evening, I stayed at Anthony's house and continued to play pretend with Phoenix.

Our roles were a loving couple.

During the banquet, Anthony repeatedly urged us for a grandchild.

I wore a plastic smile and pretended to go along with it.

Yet I knew this was impossible.

When we got into the car, my cloak's tassel got tangled on the hidden buckle of Phoenix's belt.

Since my gown was low cut, I didn't take off this cloak all night.

But if I bent down to untangle the tassel, my posture might send the wrong idea.

I had no choice but to take my cloak off. After all, I couldn't let Phoenix take off his belt.

I untangled the tassel and said, "I'm almost done."
