Chapter 3 Have Fun
Desmond stood behind Guadalupe, his expression icy.
Noticing those people’s gazes, Guadalupe turned around.
Then she saw Desmond.
She glanced at him and turned around to look at Belinda sitting on the couch. When she first showed up, Belinda crossed her legs, twirling her hair around her finger, looking smug.
But the grin on Belinda’s face was gone. Now, she looked so sullen as if she wanted to strangle Guadalupe on the spot.
Guadalupe realized Belinda and Desmond were hanging out with their friends here. Judging from their conversation, it had happened more than once. It turned out the two had already made their appearances in public as a couple, they didn’t bother to hide their affair at all.
Desmond walked over to her.
At the same time, those people came back to their senses.
“Guadalupe, sorry. We were just blabbering. None of that was true.”
“Guadalupe, there’s nothing going on between Desmond and Ms. Graham.”
“Guadalupe, don’t take our words seriously.”
Desmond grabbed Guadalupe’s wrist and was about to drag her out.
In the next second, she splashed the beverage on his face.
Immediately, the room fell deadly silent again.
Everyone felt a chill running down their spine, they had no idea Guadalupe was this bold.
She broke the silence, saying softly with a smile, “Continue to have funt with your darling. Desmond. I’ll get out of your hair.”
Then she lowered her head, trying to break free from his grip.
Desmond’s expression darkened to the utmost; he picked her up, carried her onto his shoulder, and walked outside.
The people in the room were all slack–jawed.
Then went to the hallway, and Guadalupe was struggling hard on Desmond’s back.
The elevator happened to arrive at this floor.
As he walked into the elevator and turned around, she saw a pair of black leather shoes of fine quality. As she looked up, a pair of long legs wrapped in black suit trousers as well as a pair of fair hands came into. view. Each finger was slender, with distinct knuckles.
The quiet atmosphere was tinged with embarrassment.
As Desmond stepped out of the elevator, she couldn’t help but look up, only to meet a pair of sharp, deep, and charming eyes.
Feeling awkward, she lowered her head while covering her face.
Desmond dragged Guadalupe out of the club.
He tossed her into the back seat of the car and sat next to her.
Feeling dizzy, Guadalupe climbed up. She had been hung upside down

for so long: coupled with being tossed into the car by him, she felt she was getting a concussion.
Desmond took some wet tissues from the glove box to wipe his face.
Guadalupe keenly noticed something that looked like a condom behind. the tissue box when he questioned her, “Why are you here? To catch me in the act?”
She opened the car door to get out.
Being in here sickened her.
“Guadalupe!” Irritated. Desmond grabbed her back. “Where are you going? Cut it out! My patience is wearing thin.”
Her breathing was a bit rapid as she pinched her palm. “I wanna go home.”
Desmond asked Harold, who was standing at the club entrance, to drive.
On the way, neither Desmond nor Guadalupe said anything. She sat far away from him, her face pale, seemingly as if she might throw up at any second.
Once they arrived, she got out of the car right away.
It wasn’t until she gulped down a whole glass of ice water in the kitchen. that she finally felt better.
As she walked out, she saw Desmond sitting in the living room. She walked over and sat down, too..
After a long time of suffocating silence, Desmond spoke first, “I was there to discuss a project. You rushed there and made a scene, which embarrasses me a lot. You’ve made a tit of yourself and are no different from a ‘shrew. Haven’t you realized that?”
“Is that all you wanna say to me?” she asked calmly.
He continued. “If you want things between us to work, stop being paranoid. I don’t have time for your ridiculous suspicions.”
She nodded. “Noted. Anything else?”
He frowned. After a few seconds, he said, “Guadalupe, do you know how annoying you are right now?”
She stood up, smiling while thinking, “You won’t feel annoyed soon.”
She went upstairs.
Her smile irritated Desmond even more. He sat in the living room for a while and went upstairs back to the bedroom, only to find she had already slept.
He took a shower and lay down beside her.
In the darkness, she had her back facing him. She moved further to the side of the bed, making sure her body wouldn’t touch his no matter what.
He hugged her from behind and forcibly pulled her into his arms, his movements tinged with fury.
He was tall and beefy, and since he had exerted a bit of force, she couldn’t move at all
She spent the night stiffly.

In the morning, she made breakfast only for herself.
Desmond came downstairs and saw her sitting in the dining room eating alone. He was about to head to the door, but then he turned around, walked to her, leaned to her ear, and coaxed her, his tone soft, “Let’s go out on the boat this weekend. Just the two of us.”

While drinking milk, Guadalupe nodded nonchalantly.
On Friday, he stood her up again, saying he had to fly to Crowham.
She wasn’t surprised; in fact, she didn’t feel a thing.
Maybe it hadn’t occurred to him. The truth was, it had been ages since they last ate together or even spent some time together. He said divorce. was out of the question, but he had already treated her as someone not important at all. If she disappeared one day, she seriously doubted if he’d
care.
On the weekend, she took her books from the bookshelf, put them in the suitcase, and took them to her new home.
Just as she was placing her books, Elyse called her, which was a rare thing.
She picked up and said politely, “Hello, Madam Harrison.”
Elyse snorted haughtily and then said, “Come back. We should put what we discussed before in writing.”
She asked, “Is that really necessary?”
Elyse said, “If I say so.”
“Fine. I’ll go back this afternoon,” she answered.
Yet, Elyse wasn’t satisfied. “Come back at noon.”
“Fine,” she agreed, figuring that she didn’t have anything else to do
anyway.
On the other end of the line, Elyse was standing on the second floor, looking at Desmond taking a walk with Belinda in the garden happily.
Elyse was determined to let Guadalupe know Belinda was the one for Desmond; they were a perfect match.
