As she looked up, she realized the man’s cold, dark eyes were fixed on her.
The man’s piercing gaze made Sumr Shawcross shudder involuntarily.
Had he really recognized her?
Sumr stared at him for a mont, but Noah Drexler remained silent, so she had no choice but to bite her lip gently, and then suddenly speak, cautiously probing.
"Young Master... You just now..."
Her voice had just sounded when the man’s dominant voice interrupted her.
"What, unwilling to be my woman?" he asked her, frowning, his gaze lowered.
Hearing this, Sumr was stunned.
"?"
Be his woman?!
Sumr looked at him, utterly bewildered.
Could it be he hadn’t recognized her?
She hesitated for a mont, then bit her lip again and spoke softly.
"But we’ve only t twice."
After speaking, she looked at him seriously again, her heart suddenly filled with a deep sense of apprehension.
Could it be... he really hadn’t recognized her?
After she spoke, the man raised his eyes slightly, then snorted dismissively.
"So what?"
"..." Sumr’s face froze, and her emotions beca a complex mix.
It seed he really hadn’t recognized her as Sumr Shawcross. But then again, with her current appearance, how could he...
So, was it because he truly fancied her that he kissed her just now?
Thinking this way, she suddenly felt a turmoil that was hard to express in words.
Seeing her frozen in confusion, the man’s lips unintentionally curled up slightly.
"You don’t want to?" he asked her deliberately, frowning.
His question pulled Sumr back to reality. She chuckled helplessly, then continued.
"This might not be right..."
"Your fiancée, Miss Duval, would be angry." She forced an awkward smile, but inside she couldn’t stay calm.
Could it be he really liked her current self... After all, to him, she was just a maid of The Drexler Family now, not Sumr.
For a mont, she didn’t know whether to be angry with the situation or secretly pleased.
When she finished speaking, she noticed a faint smile flash in the man’s eyes. The next second, he suddenly raised his arm, wrapped it around her waist, then deliberately lowered his head and whispered.
"What, don’t you dare?"
The sudden closeness made Sumr instinctively shrink back, quickly reaching out to push him away, wanting to escape this place.
"Sorry, Young Master, I must return!"
When she pushed him, the man surprisingly let go of her waist, watching her as she turned to open the door, then pursed his lips, kindly reminding her.
"Once you step out of this building, you’ll be imdiately watched. You won’t be able to leave here safely." What he was referring to, was naturally The Drexler Family!
After what had just transpired, Autumn Duval wouldn’t let her go easily!
Moreover, he had very important matters to deal with and couldn’t yet openly go against The Drexler Family!
To protect her, he could only keep her by his side for now.
However, after thinking it through, the current situation wasn’t too bad; at least, she could stay by his side openly.
As his words fell, Sumr stopped walking, her face changing accordingly.
"Young Master..."
