Chapter 382: He asked her, is he a beast?

Ellie Doyle pressed her lips together, not saying a word, but instinctively pulled her collar tighter. The blush on her cheeks spread all the way to the tips of her ears. "This isn't convenient… wait until we get back to—"

"Get back to what?" Hugo Hayes suddenly leaned closer, staring at her on purpose. "I want to hear that last word."

Ellie's face grew even redder.

This man clearly knew what she meant, yet he deliberately teased her.

He was becoming more and more infuriating.

Watching the embarrassed expression on her face, Hugo chuckled softly. He sat down and took her hand gently. "Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Let's go. I bought you some clothes; put them on, and I'll take you out to eat."

He casually handed the set of clothes he'd just bought to Ellie.

Hugo's gaze lingered momentarily on the view near Ellie's neckline, his Adam's apple rolling slightly.
