Chapter 439

Sure enough, without waiting for her response, his large hands caressed every inch of her body,
leaving trails of heat behind.

“You didn’t travel so many miles just to provide me this special service, did you?” Nicole blurted out.

“You wish!”

Evan gripped her chin between two fingers, the abrupt pain making her yelp slightly.

“Ow! You…”

Before she could say the word ‘b*stard’, she was silenced by his lips.

Just when Evan was enjoying himself and about to invade that sweet spot between her thighs,
someone knocked on the door!

Bang, bang, bang! The knocks were frantic.

Nicole shoved him away and squeaked, “There’s someone at the door. I’ll get it.”

“No, I’ll get it!”

Evan put on his clothes and opened the door. When he saw who it was at the door, his face instantly
turned black.

“Mr. Seet, when did you arrive?”

Rocky gaped at him in surprise.

Evan looked daggers at him and emanated a murderous aura as he answered with displeasure, “You
just interrupted our fun time!”



Rocky was rendered inarticulate.

While Evan had no qualms admitting it out loud, Rocky, on the other hand, felt very awkward.

He hurriedly explained, “Nicole called me earlier but the call was abruptly ended. I was worried, so I
decided to come check up on her!”

“She’s fine. Stay away from her from now on!”

After he was done warning him, he shut the door with a loud bang.

Rocky stood rooted to the spot while his mind was in a complete mess.

It seemed like he had thought things to be too simple. Just because the Seet family opposed it didn’t
mean that Evan would really break up with Nicole!

He had underestimated Evan’s feelings for Nicole and overestimated his own place in her heart.

Nicole’s heart only ever had space for Evan.

He laughed self-mockingly. Then, he turned around and made his way back to his room with a sense of
heaviness in each step.

“Who was it?”

“A hotel staff!” Evan replied petulantly.

Nicole blinked twice.

Why did it sound like Rocky though?

“What are you thinking about? Hurry up and sleep!”



Evan got into bed and pulled her tightly against his chest as if declaring ownership over her.

Nicole felt slightly suffocated with how tightly he was hugging her.

“Don’t hug me so tightly! I can’t breathe!”

“I’m afraid that you’d run away if I don’t hug you tight enough!”

Seriously? Does he even know that I’m planning on running away? Is Evan even normal?

Nicole’s heart thumped wildly in her chest. Even before she could put her plan into motion, she was
already feeling guilty.

In the middle of the night, she whispered into Evan’s ear saying that she needed to go to the loo. Only
then did Evan loosen his hold on her.

She slinked into the bathroom and began her plan. Her acupuncture skills were going to be put into use
again!

She came out of the bathroom and tentatively took out her needles from her luggage. Then, she tiptoed
towards the bed and peered down at the sleeping Evan as she deliberated.

If I manage to do this, he’ll sleep for a long time. But if I failed, then… I’ll just say that I was
sleepwalking.

I’m too dedicated to my job and I was practicing acupuncture in my sleep.

Yeah. That sounds like a passable excuse.

She mustered her courage and stuck a needle into him at a precise location!



The next day.

When Evan woke up, he turned his head to see that the other side of the bed was empty.

He immediately shot up and cast a glance across the room. To his dismay, all of Nicole’s things were
nowhere in sight.

Her luggage, handbag, and everything else had vanished along with her.

He hastily took out his phone and called Nicole, but it showed that her phone had been switched off.

When he looked at the time, he was utterly dumbfounded. He had actually slept for sixteen hours
straight!

How did this happen?

A frown appeared on his face as he went deep into thought. Just when he was going to get out of bed,
he felt something sharp prick him. When he took a closer look, he found that it was a silver needle.

Realization dawned on him. To escape from him, Nicole had resorted to using her acupuncture skills on
him. In her haste to leave, she had probably dropped this needle.

Why is she so adamant about leaving me? Is it because she doesn’t trust me to handle matters with my
family? Or is it… because of Rocky?

When Evan left the hotel, he purposefully inquired the front desk and found that Rocky had already
checked out.

Doubts seeped into his heart. Did Nicole and Rocky leave together?

If they did…



Nicole Lane. Just you wait!

Evan clenched his jaw, the expression on his face frighteningly cold.

The plane landed safely.

Nicole finally breathed a sigh of relief after she stepped out of the airport.
