Chapter 722
In the master bedroom of the Minton family estate, Leticia slowly emerged from the bathroom, her long legs taking measured steps. She was clad only in a thin black lace nightgown, and droplets of water adorned her damp hair, every frown and smile designed to entice.
Odie pushed open the door, and Leticia immediately lunged forward, wrapping her arms around Odie’s neck. With a seductive tone, she whispered, “Odie, have you missed me these past few days?”
Odie coolly moved Leticia’s hands away. Leticia’s smile gradually faded. Odie walked over to the sofa across the room and said indifferently, “What do you want?”
“I missed you, so I came to see you. Is that not allowed?” Leticia moved closer to Odie and said, “I heard you’ve hired a new pianist.”
At this, Odie hooked a lock of Leticia’s hair and said nonchalantly, “Just a planist. Are you jealous?”
“I had someone smash the piano,” Leticia said discontentedly. “You know I don’t like others touching my things.”
Odie replied, “Smashed it? I’ll have Jonah buy a new one for you
“Really?”
“Really.”
“And the pianist? What do you plan to do with her?”
“What do you want me to do?”
tomorrow.”
“Send her away.” Leticia said, “I won’t allow any woman other than me to be around you. Only I can be your pianist,”
“Alright, I’ll have Jonah dismiss her tomorrow.”
“That’s more like it.”
Leticia leaned in and kissed Odie on the cheek.
Odie didn’t avoid her but stood up the next second and said, “It’s late. Go to bed.”
“Aren’t you going to sleep with me?”
“I still have work. This room is yours for the night.”
“You don’t want to sleep with me?” Leticia clung to Odie, her eyes filled with grievance. “Do you… find me dirty?”
“Of course not,” Odie’s eyes were full of tender affection as he leaned in and kissed Leticia on the cheek, saying, “I really do have work. Rest well here, and if you need anything, just ask Jonah.”
Then, Odie left the room.
Leticia angrily got up from the sofa, grabbed a cushion, and hurled it at the door with force.
Outside, Jonah opened the door and said, “Ms. Leticia, may I help you with something?”
“Get out!”
Jonah turned and left the room.
The next afternoon, as Sophie was just waking up, she felt a pair of eyes on her. When she got up, she found Odie, who had appeared in her room at some unknown time.
Sophie was startled, “Odie? What are you doing here?”
“Get up.”
“For what?”
“To get you up.”
Odie tossed the clothes from the sofa onto/Sophie.
Sophie, holding the clothes, was perplexed. The next second, Odie had already walked out the door.
What was with Odie… acting so oddly first thing in the morning?
But, as the saying goes, when under someone else’s roof, you’ve got to play by their rules. Sophie quickly changed into the clothes and, upon leaving the room, looked around cautiously. Odie, observing Sophie’s actions, asked, “What are you looking for?”
“I was checking if Ms. Leticia is still around.”
Polly mentioned last night that Leticia had come over. Since she had come, she surely wouldn’t leave first thing in the morning, right?
