Karlina's birthday party.
Bertha was tying Shane's tie, her delicate eyelashes furrowed. "The weather is getting colder, and I don't want you to attend Vontroe's house party this time."
Shane caught her finger. 'It's because this is not a simple party that I have to go to."
If Bertha wanted to kill someone, he would give her a knife.
If Bertha wanted to cause trouble, he would stir up the puddle of Vontroe's house.
Bertha said nothing, her face was serious, and she was still as uneasy as before.
Shane continued to add. 'I've been at home on vacation for more than half a month. If I don't go out, people outside of society will become suspicious."
"Alright." Bertha reluctantly compromises. "But at the party, you are not allowed to drink alcohol, you are only allowed to drink fruit juice. If you dare to secretly drink alcohol from me, I will not forgive you."
She threatened, her face glaring fiercely at him.
She was like a wild cat with its sharp claws out, it could make Shane's heart itch, but he couldn't escape on his own.
Shane's long fingers threaded their way into her smooth black hair, gently grasping the back of her neck. He leaned down, his thin lips kissing hers.
After a long, lingering kiss, he pursed his lips, reminiscing. 'Neither juice nor wine is as sweet as Bertha's mouth."
Bertha put on the mask for him, she gently pushed his shoulder, sulking. 'Your mouth and tongue are so sweet."
The two of them teased each other for a while, then they slowly walked out the door. They drove a limited edition black Silber sports car, together to the Vontroe's house villa.
Karlina's birthday party officially starts at seven o'clock in the evening.
Bertha and Shane arrived at Vontroe's house half an hour earlier.
When the two of them arrived, there were still no guests.
Karlina saw the two of them appear arm in arm, she silently rolled her eyes then pretended to be enthusiastic and went over to them to say hello. 'Miss. Bertha, Shane, why are you here so early?"
Bertha just smiled and said nothing.
Shane didn't look at Karlina, his eyes were deep and cold, and his devil mask made his whole person even more mysterious.
Being ignored by the two of them, Karlina was a little unhappy, she chatted with the girls she knew.
Noa sat alone not far away, drinking wine. When he heard Bertha coming, he was very happy.
However, he saw that she never saw him from beginning to end. After saying a few polite words to his parents, she laughed and joked next to Shane.
Noa was extremely upset, he took the initiative to go to her and chat. 'Bertha, long time no see, have you been okay lately?"
Bertha's face was calm, her tone distant. "Mr. Noa, I'm fine."
Noa feels lost. 'Why are we suddenly so strange between us?"
Bertha frowned, he said as if before, she and he were very close. Was he deliberately provoking Shane?
Sure enough, Shane's face next to her darkened, his eyes gloomy.
Before he got angry, Bertha quickly stroked his collar, her fingers caressing the back of his neck intimately, but she opened her mouth to speak to Noa.
"Mr. Noa, I think you misunderstood, you and I have always been normal friends, there has never been any strangeness between us, and my fiancé is very jealous. he misunderstood."
Under her caress, Shane's face returned to normal, his large hand hugged her slim waist.
Noa's heart grew cold.
A departed Derek and a Shane were difficult to deal with.
Moreover, in such a short time, Bertha liked Shane, she even lived with him.
Noa believes that the man who has liked her for more than ten years is the man who loves her the most and is also the most suitable for her.
Seeing that he had no chance anymore, Noa was very dissatisfied. 'Bertha, I have something to say to you in private. After I finish speaking, I will not hang around you anymore, is that okay?"
Bertha didn't need to think, she directly refused. 'As you probably know, a while ago Shane and I were in the news, and people praised us as the sweetest newlyweds. Today at Karina's party there were many famous people, perhaps also many members of the media."
'If we let them take pictures of us, it will be very difficult for me to explain, so whatever you want to say, just say it here. There's something Shane can't hear."
Shane's impatient and uneasy heart gradually calmed down. He took the initiative to hold Bertha's hand tightly. He intertwined his hand with her ten fingers.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, without any hesitation, appearing intimate.
Noa is excited. 'Bertha, because of you, I'm not afraid of Miller's house, do you know, the women that Mr. Miller arranged for Shane, their bodies bruised and scarred? He treats others harshly, he acts cruelly towards women, rumors say he has a penchant for abusing women."
'Now he pretends to treat you well, maybe just out of respect for Griselda's house, he hides dirty things. If you marry him, you may enter a hellish nightmare. You and I have known each other since childhood, I won't lie to you."
Shane's face was calm. After listening to someone's meaningless words, his heart was calm, without any ripples.
But he was also a little curious, at that time his reputation was not good, but Bertha had never asked him a question about it before.
The two men's eyes looked towards Bertha at the same time.
Bertha was stunned, she smiled. 'It's just a rumor but why do you believe it's true? What's more, with Shane's ability, 80% of those dirty rumors are because he deliberately said them so that women wouldn't dare get close to him. Except for me, he doesn't dare touch other women."
