Chapter 450

Anna Ross sensed the man beside her suddenly turn cold.

She instinctively pulled her coat tighter.

The car stopped in front of the bar.

Anna murmured her thanks.

She unfastened her seatbelt to get out.

"Wait."

Adrian Sinclair's low voice cut through the silence.

He held out the newly purchased lipstick.

"For you."

The interior was dimly lit.

His eyes were deep and dark as night.

Anna watched quietly.

She shook her head in refusal.

"Keep it for Miss Valentine."

She turned to leave.

The car door suddenly swung open.

Adrian strode to stand before her.

He uncapped the lipstick.

Before Anna could react.

He tilted her chin up.

The lipstick glided softly over her lips.

Anna struggled to pull away.

The color smudged at the corner of her mouth.

"Don't move."

Adrian's gaze darkened.

He brushed his thumb over the smudge.

His touch was gentle and focused.

Anna felt a moment of dizziness.

She seemed to see the boy from before.

But the distance was too close now.

She frantically pushed his hand away.

Her heart raced wildly.

She didn't dare look back.

"You've used this lipstick."

"It can only be yours now."

Adrian's voice held a hint of laughter.

The lipstick was offered to her once more.

Anna silently accepted it.

She walked into the bar without looking back.

Adrian watched her leave.

A slight smile touched his lips.

He looked down at the red stain on his fingertip.

An inexplicable pleasure filled him.

A scream suddenly echoed through the villa.

Chloe Valentine stared furiously at her phone.

She trembled with rage.

Adrian had refused to have dinner with her.

It was to see Anna.

He even went shopping with her.

Personally applied her lipstick.

He never did these things for her.

He wouldn't even touch her.

It was all Anna's fault.

Without her, everything would be different.

Chloe's nails dug deep into the sofa.

She found Lucas Evans's photo.

A cold smile suddenly appeared.

Perhaps this person could be used.

If Anna were ruined.

Would Adrian still like her?

He would only find her disgusting.

Chloe stood up.

She dialed Lucas's number.

Fortunately, she had saved it before.

The call was quickly answered.

"Mr. Evans."

"Are you free to meet?"
