Chapter 45
Finn was silent for a few seconds before he responded, “She fell in love with someone else, and we’re now in a marriage of convenience. As for why there’s a marriage of convenience, the process is very complicated. In short, Monica’s parents threatened her with their lives, so she was forced to agree to marry me.”
“I’ve never seen you before, but I heard from Monica that you’ve changed a lot from the past. Taking a step back, what I’m trying to say is the eldest young lady of the Lawrences ought to be pampered and shouldn’t have endured so much. I’ve never seen anyone who was drugged and had to endure it,” Finn said.
“Since you knew, why didn’t you take precautions in advance or come to me before it showed effect? That way, it’d be much easier for you.” Jeanne had asked Monica to call him in advance. That was the preparation she made!
“You should know that seven years ago, my father beat me with a whip and kicked me out of the Lawrence family’s residence! Besides, the enmity between the Lawrences and I doesn’t end there.”
She was wearing a translucent silk nightgown with a white sling. Her leopard print bra and panty were faintly discernible. Her hair was wet, and she wiped it casually with a towel.
“Fourth Master, I don’t think… you’re needed anymore.” When Jeanne arrived, he prepared the medicine for Jeanne while he called Fourth Master Swan.
Finn could not guarantee that his medicine would work, let alone that Jeanne would not be able to control herself before the medicine took effect.
He said, “The effects of the drug won’t disappear completely. You can take a cold shower. It might be better. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Jeanne smiled and put out the cigarette butt. “These are my private matters. I don’t want to tell others for the time being.”
Finn did not reply. He walked straight to the balcony outside the bedroom and said, “Go take a shower yourself!”
Finn did not speak to her either. He went to the closet to get a change of clothes and walked into the bathroom.
“I heard from Nox that you left Fourth Master Swan’s bed seven years ago,” Finn said straightforwardly.
Not long after, Finn returned to his bedroom and handed Monica a set of pajamas and her undergarments.
“Jeanne has her pride. If you’re still friends, don’t look at her pathetic state,” Finn said coldly.
Otherwise, how could she sit on Finn’s after hearing what he said? She put her arms around his neck.
“The Lawrences and their sh*t,” Jeanne said nonchalantly and asked, “Do you have a cigarette?”
