Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 192 - 173: New Year Vacation

Laura Quincy: "..."

She completely lost the right to say "I’m not going".

The same morning.

When Sarah Sterling woke up, she found herself in a very familiar environment. She looked around in a daze.

Suddenly, a clear and deep male voice came from above.

"Awake?"

This voice!

She looked over in disbelief, meeting the playful eyes of a certain man.

"Why... am I here?"

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Sarah Sterling propped herself up, trying to get away from him.

But then, her elbow softened...

Landon Linden quickly reached out to hold her, drawing them even closer together.

Exceptionally suggestive!

"What do you think?"

Landon Linden smirked slyly.

Sarah Sterling looked a bit flustered. Wasn’t she with her friends at the bar last night? How did she end up with Landon Linden? What on earth happened?

Her mind exploded with a million why’s...

"Do I even need to ask you if I knew?"

Sarah Sterling said unhappily, hoping that her worst concern hadn’t happened, or else—

"You don’t remember?"

Landon Linden raised an eyebrow at her; last night, she, under the influence of alcohol, had really "tortured" him quite a bit. Even now, the memory was vivid!

Sarah Sterling gave him a glance, deciding she would vanish if he didn’t explain soon.

Landon Linden suddenly held her chin, staring hard into her eyes, seeing clarity without a hint of impurity, and definitely not the charm and seductiveness of last night.

So different from how she was last night!

"You were drunk last night."

"So?"

Sarah Sterling’s eyes widened in fear, stammering, "Was I... very drunk?"

Landon Linden gave a satisfied "Mm". Her expression didn’t seem fake. Could it be she didn’t know she turns into someone else when drunk?

"Of course, the way you look when drunk..."

Sarah Sterling lifted her eyelids, risking death by asking, "I didn’t do anything last night, did I?"

"You did a lot."

"..."

Cautiously, Sarah Sterling looked at him, realizing his expression wasn’t joking, and whispered, "Like what?"

"You stood on the car hood and confessed to me."

"..."

Sarah Sterling’s heart sank instantly.

"And you made a bunch of vows to be faithful to me."

"..."

Sarah Sterling wanted to dig a hole to hide in and silently vowed never to touch alcohol again!

"After I accepted, you happily danced on the car hood."

"..."

Sarah Sterling covered her face.

"And you forcefully kissed me."

"..."

Sarah Sterling was completely overwhelmed and almost toppled over.

"So, do you think you did little?"

"Uh..."

She quietly released her hands from her cheeks, speaking weakly, "You’re not lying to me, are you? How could I..."

Landon Linden’s eyes bored into her, his voice low and magnetic, "You think I’m lying to you?"

Sarah Sterling’s face was slightly embarrassed; she didn’t reply, clearly half-believing Landon Linden’s words.

Landon Linden let out a cold snort, "There were quite a few spectators last night, and I believe the cameras at ’Twilight’s entrance must have captured some footage."

Sarah Sterling wished she could find a hole to crawl into. Was her long-maintained facade about to be exposed?

He had always been her calamity; once drunk, she could never escape...

Landon Linden was very pleased to see her guilty and conflicted expression, leisurely said, "Everything that should have happened last night, happened..."

He didn’t continue, just gave her a meaningful look.

Sarah Sterling took a deep breath, facing him, "We’re all adults. Let’s just consider last night an accidental one-night stand! You didn’t lose anything either..."

Landon Linden’s face turned as dark as soot, enunciating each word, "Sarah Sterling! Do you know what you’re saying?"

Sarah Sterling lowered her eyes, no longer looking at him, "What you heard is what I meant to say. What’s between men and women is just that, especially since we were once husband and wife. Getting drunk and losing control isn’t that strange..."

She deliberately spoke calmly, trying to mask her inner self through it.

Landon Linden’s face was as dark as water, teeth gritting, "Sarah Sterling! You’ve grown some guts, huh? Getting drunk and losing control? Just how many men have you gone to hotels with after drinking? Are you that lacking in men?"

His words stung deeply.

Sarah Sterling felt a sharp pain in her chest, coldly said, "None of your business."

Landon Linden stared at her for a few seconds with a dark face, then suddenly got up and slammed the door as he left.

Sitting on the bed, Sarah Sterling’s lips curled into a bitter smile before she headed to the bathroom...

On the first morning of the New Year, to have such a scene, there probably wouldn’t be any more intersections in the future, right?

In the afternoon of the second day of the New Year, Laura Quincy was carried into Jason Hawthorne’s private jet, that’s right! Carried up, because her leg injury was not fully recovered, and she couldn’t walk far without her crutch.

"Relax a bit, don’t be so tense."

"..."

Jason Hawthorne’s gentle and magnetic voice was like a breeze comforting Laura Quincy’s ears, making her cheeks flush instantly. This annoying man! Always teasing her!

Beside them, Twinkle was absolutely thrilled, as going on vacation with Daddy and sister was his favorite thing!

Since boarding the plane, his excitement never waned...

Eventually, he exhausted himself playing and fell asleep in Laura Quincy’s arms, so Jason Hawthorne had to pick him up. Laura Quincy placed a finger to her lips, "Shh, let him sleep like this!"

Jason Hawthorne lowered his voice, "Your injury hasn’t healed completely. Carrying him for hours might cause poor circulation and delay recovery."

Laura Quincy swallowed her words...it made sense, plus his concern was for her own good.

After settling their son comfortably on the sofa bed, Jason Hawthorne looked at Laura Quincy, "Why don’t you and Twinkle take a nap? I’ll wake you when we arrive."

Laura Quincy thought that was a good idea, otherwise sitting alone with him might lead to an awkward situation, especially since she didn’t want much interaction with him...

"Mm."

She had just lain down when Jason Hawthorne’s magnetic voice came through, "I already cleared things with Stella Jennings. After the New Year’s Eve, my family won’t insist on me marrying her. The only person I want to marry, is you."

Laura Quincy bit her lip, resolutely closing her eyes pretending not to have heard. Damn man! Always using this trick, saying these confusing things to her...

His family would no longer push for marriage to Stella Jennings, is that even possible?

As she thought about it, she heard his voice again, "What I just said is absolutely true. If there’s any lie, I’ll never earn your forgiveness in this life."

Laura Quincy: "..."

What kind of vow was that?

If he was telling the truth, does she have to forgive him?
