Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!

Chapter 355: A Woman Can’t Admit Defeat

Landon Ford couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

When he wasn’t smiling, with those fierce eyebrows, he could seem especially unapproachable.

However, his superior features made his smile incredibly alluring and irresistible.

Thea Shaw had to admit, no matter how she looked at it, she could always find something fresh in Landon Ford’s face.

This romance was absolutely worth it!

After finishing a bowl of porridge, Thea regained some energy. Landon said, "I’ll make you some milk tea later."

Even though drinking this kind of high-calorie stuff late at night isn’t the best idea.

Considering that Thea had exerted herself tonight and Landon had no intention of letting her go back, nor did he say they wouldn’t do it again tonight, he thought it wouldn’t hurt to make some milk tea to replenish her energy.

Thea was exceptionally wary: "I don’t want it!"

Usually, Landon couldn’t control her habits.

But when they met, he never liked her drinking too much of it.

Not just because it could lead to weight gain, but because drinking too much was indeed unhealthy.

Yet when he brought it up himself, it felt like there was an ulterior motive behind his actions.

He made porridge and milk tea; Thea wasn’t foolish. Drinking milk tea at night might make it hard to sleep, and since she couldn’t go back tonight, what was Landon’s aim?

"Oh, really? Nevermind then."

Landon raised an eyebrow and stood up to clear her empty bowl.

It didn’t matter whether she drank it or not; after all, he had already gotten a taste of sweetness today, and there was no way a single round would be enough.

Moreover, they hadn’t gone all the way, and since it wasn’t harmful physically, why not indulge in enjoyable things a bit more?

Thea watched him tidy up the dishes and thought that coming over today was a conspiracy.

—The key point being, she didn’t resist.

At this moment, Thea started to hate herself, wondering how she could have been so easily led astray that afternoon.

How one look made her so dazed that she didn’t even think to run?

Too late for regrets now!

Her mind was a mess of thoughts, but when night came, holding onto an indescribable mix of fear and anticipation, when Thea was pressed into the bed—she didn’t have the strength to resist.

The once perfect heir of Qirenia, fallen in an instant, forgetting even her own name.

***

Waking up in the morning, Thea stared at the ceiling.

Actually, she wasn’t all that melancholic; after all, things happened, and she had enjoyed it; she wasn’t going to be hypocritical.

She just couldn’t understand, though she wasn’t the one putting in the effort, why was she the one exhausted enough to sleep straight through to noon?!

If Landon hadn’t called from the company asking if she’d had lunch yet, she might have slept even longer.

It was then that Landon realized Thea hadn’t even woken up.

Though their nighttime antics had gone on a bit late, he still got up and left at seven in the morning.

Hearing Thea’s sleepy voice, his tone was teasing: "So tired, huh?!"

"I don’t know either." Thea’s voice, tinged with just-woken-up languor, sounded both sweet and troubled: "Why am I so tired when you can wake up so early? Is there something wrong with me, is my kidney failing?!"

Landon: "..."

Hearing her soft tone made half his body tingle, but listening to what she said, he almost burst out laughing: "That’s normal. If you really feel exhausted, get some more exercise in normally; then maybe you could last longer. Last night, you couldn’t even make it twenty minutes without saying you couldn’t go on."

Thea: "..."

If it were any other woman, she’d be embarrassed by those words.

But Thea, influenced by the spirit guidance of Qirenia, was different.

She simply thought indignantly.

A woman can’t admit to being weak!
