Lena stepped forward. “How could you go through that album without my permission?”
“Sue me if you want. I dare you,” Thomas snapped.
“Um… I-It’s not that serious,” Lena stammered.

“I didn’t know you loved collecting stuff. Are these men your targets? Aren’t your boyfriend might get jealous?” Thomas’ tone betrayed his own jealousy.
“My boyfriend is big-hearted. He doesn’t mind it,” she replied with a smile.

In truth, one of her friends had left that album at her place. It belonged to a modeling agency. But she felt no need to explain herself to Thomas.
“Does your boyfriend not mind you spending the night at Ethan’s place? Anything could happen when people of the opposite sex are in a room,” Thomas asked.
“Not at all. Like I said, he’s big-hearted.”
Thomas snorted. He placed the album back on the coffee table. Standing up, he walked over to Lena. “Is your boyfriend that big-hearted? He either doesn’t love you, or he’s good at covering it up.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” She frowned.
“A man is never that ‘big-hearted’. Be mindful of what kind of men you date.”
As he spoke, he noticed water droplets falling from her damp hair. So, he took the towel from
her hands and dried her hair with it.
Lena froze. His action reminded her of when they’d still been together. He used to dry her hair
for her back then too.
But things had changed. The action that used to bring her joy in the past only made her feel awkward now.
“Don’t trouble yourself.” She stepped back and shook her damp hair. “I’ll use the hairdryer later. Just say what you wanted to say.”
Brows furrowed, he asked, “Are you really not into Ethan?”
“Good heavens, not at all!” she immediately clarified, determined to clear the
misunderstanding right away.

“Last time, you were at the hotel with him. This time, you went to this place. I wonder if I’ll find you and him in your apartment next?” Thomas snapped at Lena.
“It was just a coincidence. Don’t you know that Ethan is interested in another girl?”
“You must be referring to Chloe. But men can separate their feelings from sexual needs. Even if he doesn’t have feelings for you, things can still happen between the two of you if you’re interested in him.”
Lena’s expression shifted immediately. She recalled hearing similar words years ago when
she’d overheard him.
Perhaps, she’d been nothing more than a plaything for Thomas.
She confronted him without holding back. “Are you projecting your thoughts on others? You slept with me even when you had no feelings for me. Is that why you believe all men are the same?”
Stunned, he asked, “What do you mean?”
“I’m saying Ethan is different from you.”
He squinted with displeasure. “Why do you trust him so much? Do you think you know him very well?”
“I don’t know Ethan well. So, I can’t say I trust him, but I certainly trust Chloe. He’s Chloe’s close friend. They’re almost like siblings. If she trusts him, he must be a pretty genuine person.

Thomas snickered. “And what makes you think I’m the type who sleeps with women I don’t
love?”
Lena found his words rather outrageous. “Have you forgotten what you said to your friends in that private room years ago?”
“What do you mean?” He fixed a sharp gaze on her face.
“You told your friends that I was just a way for you to kill time. I happened to overhear you. That’s why I refused to remain your little plaything,” she said, revealing the truth.
Thomas’ body immediately stiffened, and the color drained from his face.
“D-Did you hear that?” Momentarily confused, he felt his heart pounding against his chest.
“Yeah, I overheard you. You definitely taught me a life lesson. I learned that men can indeed sleep with women they aren’t interested in,” she replied with a self-deprecating smile.

“Was that why you broke up with me?” he asked.
She lowered her gaze. Well, that remark was the main reason she’d broken up with him, but there were other things that had led to the breakup as well. She didn’t bother telling him the other reasons that had pushed her to that decision.
“Yeah. I wasn’t going to be friends-with-benefits with you after what you said.” She smiled. ” If you’re here to warn me not to catch any feelings for Ethan, you have nothing to worry about. I won’t. I have no intention of becoming your family. Can you imagine how awkward it’ll be during the holidays?”
His face darkened like the sky just before a storm.
Willow visited Sonya at the detention center. She hadn’t been in Corvessia for long before she got news that Sonya had been arrested.
Vincent and Carla had searched high and low for a lawyer, but the top four law firms in the city had collectively refused to take on Sonya’s case. Left with no choice, they could only look for lawyers from other cities.
Wayne and his family wanted nothing to do with Sonya either. In the end, Willow had to pull some strings to visit her at the detention center.
“It’s all Chloe’s fault! I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for her!” Sonya spat angrily in the
visitation room.
After some hesitation, Willow confessed, “I’m afraid the Qualls can’t be of help.”
Wade had made it clear that the Qualls would stay out of Sonya’s serious mess.
But Sonya didn’t seem surprised to hear it. “It’s okay. I still have Curtis. He’ll help me because I’m carrying his child. Apply for bail on the grounds of pregnancy. Soon, I’ll leave this godforsaken place.”
Willow was astonished. “You’re pregnant?”
“Yeah. This baby is my lucky star. Curtis will never get rid of me.” Sonya turned to Willow.” Since you’re my cousin, I’ll tell you this-hold onto Brian tightly, or you’ll lose your place in the Quall family.”
Willow also wanted to hold onto Brian. But she couldn’t.
She looked troubled as she left the detention center. She knew very well that she’d risked losing her position in the Quall family by going there.
