Rachel Saintclair rolled her eyes inwardly and smiled helplessly. "I think you've got it wrong. We chose this place as the shooting location for our new clothing line, that's all. As for the two of you... I'm not interested."
"Oh? Is that so?" Elizabeth Collins raised an eyebrow. The acrimony she showed in front of Rachel Saintclair was completely different from the gentle and charming image she presented to the media on ordinary days.
"I thought you were trying every means to show up in front of him so that he couldn't forget you."
The early spring weather was still a bit chilly. The camisole dress Elizabeth Collins was wearing accentuated her good figure just right. Indeed, in front of such a glamorous woman, anyone would feel inferior.
Rachel Saintclair looked up at the sky and suddenly thought that her decision to go for a walk was rather stupid. Or rather, from the moment she saw the two of them, she should have gone straight back. Then she wouldn't have to encounter this crazy woman who specifically came to find her.
What made her even more confused was that after all, Elizabeth Collins was the one who held Leonard Winston's heart. Elizabeth Collins knew well about the relationship between them. Why did she always be so confrontational whenever she saw her?
Could it be jealousy? That was ridiculous! Ten Rachel Saintclairs combined couldn't match one Elizabeth Collins. What reason did she have to be jealous?
But every time Elizabeth Collins saw her, she seemed to be full of energy, which made her very confused.
Rachel Saintclair shrugged and spread her hands. "You really think too much. I wish he would never think of me again." This was her sincere words. With the three - year time limit about to expire, she had been waiting for this day for the past three years.
"That's good. Rachel Saintclair, don't forget who you are. Leonard Winston is my man. No matter who he marries or who he sleeps with, his heart and his person will always be mine and can only be mine." Elizabeth Collins looked at Rachel Saintclair haughtily, while the latter didn't take these provocative words to heart.
It was precisely Rachel Saintclair's always indifferent attitude that made Elizabeth Collins the angriest. She just couldn't understand. Did this woman think this marriage meant nothing? Leonard Winston was so perfect. Was he nothing in her eyes?
Elizabeth Collins couldn't accept Rachel Saintclair's indifferent and casual attitude towards everything.
Moreover, she was jealous of Rachel Saintclair.
"I like smart women, and I believe Leo does too. Don't you think so?" Precisely because of her jealousy, she couldn't stop taunting when she saw Rachel Saintclair.
Rachel Saintclair shrugged, not wanting to talk to her anymore, and turned to leave.
When she returned to the restaurant, Leonard Winston was still waiting there.
Seeing Elizabeth Collins coming back, he greeted her with a smile and hugged her. "Where did you go just now? How come you disappeared in a blink of an eye?"
"Nothing. I saw an acquaintance and went over to say hello."
Leonard Winston nodded and didn't ask who the acquaintance was. Although they loved each other, one was the heir of the Winston Group and the other was a star in the spotlight. It was better that they didn't know about the people the other met.
"Ah? You've eaten it all?" Elizabeth Collins glanced sideways and saw that the food on the plate in front of Leonard Winston had been eaten up, looking a bit excited.
"Yeah, how could I not finish the food you cooked for me yourself?" Leonard Winston affectionately kissed the tip of her nose.
This restaurant was bought by Leonard Winston for Elizabeth Collins, but it was usually taken care of by the servants on weekdays. The real function of this restaurant was a secret meeting place for the two of them when they wanted to meet.
If the paparazzi knew that a big star like Elizabeth Collins was willing to cook for Leonard Winston, it would definitely be a huge explosive news.
"Then, compared with your wife, which one tastes better?" Elizabeth Collins gently tugged at the collar of Leonard Winston's shirt, biting her lips and asking him coquettishly.
Leonard Winston pinched the tip of her nose, leaned down and whispered in her ear. "I... prefer to eat... you!"
"Ah, you're so annoying!" Elizabeth Collins playfully hit him. Leonard Winston grabbed her two wrists, picked her up, and turned to walk towards the lounge inside the restaurant.
In the moment of laughter, Elizabeth Collins' gaze swept across the familiar figure outside the window, and she felt a sense of pride in her heart. She of course knew that Leonard Winston didn't marry Rachel Saintclair because he liked her. And she, Elizabeth Collins, had the charm and confidence to keep Leonard Winston's heart tied to her forever.
When Rachel Saintclair returned to the villa, she immediately noticed that the atmosphere at home was a bit off.
Whenever that guy came back, the atmosphere would automatically turn a bit colder.
When her eyes passed over the wine cabinet and landed on the small bar counter, sure enough, she saw a certain perfect figure.
With a thought, thinking of the two people who were affectionate on the pedestrian street just now, how could Leonard Winston come back so soon? And this speed... was really a bit too fast.
Rachel Saintclair put on a smile, tiptoed around him from behind, and gently gave him a hug. "Mr. Winston, you're back so early."
Leonard Winston liked the way Rachel Saintclair was as clingy as a little bird. Although the woman he loved in his heart was Elizabeth Collins, a man wouldn't reject the enjoyment of having women around him.
Especially, a woman who knew her place.
A man could clearly distinguish between sex and love, especially a man like Leonard Winston.
Leonard Winston turned around, reached out and pulled Rachel Saintclair to sit on the small barstool next to him. His deep eyes looked at Rachel Saintclair, and the corner of his lips curved into a somewhat evil arc.
"What, not happy that I'm back early?"
"No way. I just feel a little pleasantly surprised." Rachel Saintclair smiled brightly. She knew clearly that she was flattering and pleasing him, but this just - right flattery made Leonard Winston very comfortable.
Seeing her acting coquettishly, Leonard Winston was in a good mood and reached out to smooth her unruly hair.
Rachel Saintclair let him touch her, thinking that she had just seen him with Elizabeth Collins this afternoon and thought he wouldn't come back tonight.
"Don't you need to accompany Elizabeth?" After thinking for a while, she asked.
Hearing this, the arc of Leonard Winston's lips deepened a bit, and a smile also appeared in his eyes. "What, are you jealous?"
Rachel Saintclair's eyes were full of charm. Being good at reading people's expressions, she immediately put her arms around his neck softly. "I'm not jealous. I like to eat sweet things."
Leonard Winston's eyes were gradually becoming deeper, and a few sparks were gradually being ignited.
He slowly approached Rachel Saintclair, sniffing the scent around her neck. It was strange. Although he didn't have her in his heart, there was a scent on Rachel Saintclair that made Leonard Winston feel very at ease, making him unconsciously attracted.
Leonard Winston always told himself that it was because the two of them were too familiar with each other. Every inch of skin and every wisp of breath on their bodies was like his own. Maybe not using the left hand for one day wouldn't feel like much, but if he didn't see it for three days, he would feel very inconvenient.
Rachel Saintclair was dispensable to Leonard Winston, but it was very strange that if he didn't see her for some days, he would miss her extremely.
Leonard Winston usually didn't come back to this house often. But he had stayed here for two consecutive days, especially after seeing Elizabeth Collins today. Not only Rachel Saintclair, but even Leonard Winston himself felt a bit puzzled by his actions.
But he had always been a person who followed his nature. If he wanted to see someone, he would go to see them.
Besides, the person he wanted to see was his wife.
