Tangled Temptations

Orlena's face flushed instantly. It had been days, how could she still feel embarrassed?

Brett just chuckled, his face impassive.

He might have been a bit brusque that night, and she kept complaining about the discomfort... Young girls could be overly sensitive sometimes.

At that moment, the waiter entered the room, bringing in dishes one after the other. Despite there only being two of them, the table was quickly filled with an array of food. She couldn't help but protest, "This is too much. It's going to go to waste."

Brett smirked, "Already aiming to save me some bucks?"

As he served her a plate, he casually commented, "The real way to show consideration is to save some energy for me."

Her face turned even redder. He was shameless!

Seeing her reaction, Brett decided to let it slide. He specially served her a bowl of chicken soup, gently explaining, "It's made with free-range chicken. It's good for women."

She quietly sipped the soup, feeling somewhat awkward. She wasn't sure what he had planned for her.

By the end of the meal, Brett had made sure his girl was well-fed. He seemed quite pleased. He then reached into his briefcase and pulled out an item.

It was a charm, commonly used for protection. Brett gently put it on her, tucking it within her collar. His gaze was intense as he said, "When I got one for Eloise, I got one for you as well. You can't take it off this month, got it?"

Orlena pulled it out to examine it, her fingers gently caressing it.

Brett patted her head, murmuring, "I hope both you and Eloise will be safe."

Orlena whispered, "I want to give it to Linda."

The one who needed safety the most was Linda.

Hearing this, Brett seemed a little saddened. He wasn't sure what the future would

be for Linda. But for now, Harvey seemed to be desperate to save Linda, and would go to any lengths, even if that meant turning her into an alien.

Brett then pulled out a supplementary credit card from his wallet and placed it in her hand.

Orlena was taken aback. What was he suggesting?

She stuttered, "Are we... Are we..."

Brett didn't answer directly, he only said soothingly, "It's my supplementary card. You can buy whatever you want!"

Her expression was on the verge of tears.

He had to leave, but found it hard to leave her. So he reassured her, "I'll come to see you soon. Orlena, please take good care of Eloise..."

She nodded obediently. But as he got up to leave, she couldn't help herself and held onto his shirt, her voice trembling, "Brett!"

He looked at her gently.

Holding the Black Card, Orlena was visibly anxious. She gathered her courage before asking, "What does this mean?"

Brett smiled. He responded with a question, "What do you think it means?"

Her lips quivered, "I don't know! Brett, please clarify."

Brett gently hugged her, letting her rest her head against his waist. Compared to him, she was so young, and he couldn't help but be affectionate towards her. After

a while, he said, "Isn't it natural for a boyfriend to spend on his girlfriend?"

Orlena's lips trembled even more. She clung to his waist, her voice choked with tears, "Can a girlfriend ask you to stay faithful to her, to only have her?"

She didn't dare to think about the future, but since he said they were together, it should at least be genuine.

Brett looked down at his girl, who was looking up at him. He leaned down to kiss her.

He had a flight to catch and didn't have much time for affection, so he gave her a brief kiss before saying softly, "After I met you, there's no one else."

She held onto his waist, her face slowly turning red. She remembered feeling jealous that one time.

Brett didn't mock her. How could he, when his girl was so fond of him. He touched her face, murmuring, "You're not allowed to go out with anyone else. If I see anyone confessing their feelings to you, I'll break your legs."

She obediently nodded, watching him with a heavy heart.

Brett leaned down to give her a kiss, whispering, "I have to go!"

As he got up, Orlena straightened his shirt and handed him his briefcase. Brett wished he could take her with him. Before leaving, he softly said, "I'll take Eloise back to Brockville in a few days. You should come with us."

She was taken by surprise. With the uncertain future that lay ahead for her

brother and Eloise, would it be wise to go to Brockville?

Brett chuckled, "Don't worry, you'll have me!"

After a long while, he finally left.

Donny, who was dining in another private room, saw him leave and teased, "Mr.

Brett, you seem to be in a good mood!"

"Good mood? With all the things I have to deal with!"

But as he said this, he couldn't help but smile. He thought of Orlena - his small but mighty source of happiness.noveldrama

Back in the room, Orlena kept looking at the card he had given her. A boyfriend giving his girlfriend a credit card!

As for the charm, she carefully sniffed it. It must have Brett's scent on it. He had kept it in his pocket, and it was warm.

As she sniffed it, her face turned red.

She remembered that night. Who would have thought that despite the age difference, he would be so wild. He was a bit rough, but he had made her feel good several times that night.

She pinched her thigh, trying to shake off the thoughts. It was broad daylight. She shouldn't be thinking about such things!

No, no, no. She should be thinking about what it means to be a girlfriend and a boyfriend.

Half a month later, Eloise divorced Harvey.

By then, Eloise had given birth to Linda and the paperwork for the divorce was completed. Brett came from Brockville to take Eloise and also took Orlena with him.

Eloise was too immersed in her pain to think about anything else.

At the Noland family home in Brockville, Tracey was heartbroken to see Eloise and scolded Harvey while holding her beloved granddaughter.

Orlena felt quite awkward. Brett glanced at her, then told the butler, "Have the guest room opposite my bedroom prepared for Miss Orlena."

The butler hesitated. The guest room opposite to Mr. Brett's bedroom? He asked hesitantly, "Wouldn't that disturb you?"

Brett waved him off, "Just do as I say!"

As the butler left, Tracey managed to pull herself together and asked curiously, "This girl's name is Olga?"

Despite her age, she had clearly heard her son call Orlena 'Olga' the last time.

Brett could only laugh and blush,

and for a man of his age, playing affairs with a young lady was something that could only bring ridicule upon him if word got out. He should be considering things like

social status and reputation.

"Mom, you're mistaken," Brett said to his mother, choosing his words carefully and avoiding the main issue. "This is Harvey's sister, Orlena, not some random girl!" Tracey looked at her son and decided to believe him. After all, Harvey's sister was about the same age as Eloise, and Brett couldn't possibly be so heartless as to chase after a much younger woman.

She was somewhat disappointed. What a beautiful girl, glowing with health and vitality, just the kind of girl who could give birth to a good baby.

After a long day of travel, everyone went back to their rooms to rest after having dinner.

Orlena was going to stay here for a week. She didn't bring many clothes, only three or four outfits, and she was now packing them up to go and visit Eloise.

Someone came in quietly and locked the door. Her slender waist was embraced, then a masculine scent drifted around her neck, making her feel weak and involuntarily calling out Brett's name.

Brett touched her waist. He held her and caressed her for a long time before lifting her up and placing her on the king-sized bed.

Orlena was a bit scared, as after all, this was the Noland family mansion. Was he planning to have sex with her here?

She was a bit scared. They had just started dating, and if you think about it, they hadn't been together many times and were already getting to the home run, also... did he have protection? Would she accidentally get pregnant?

Brett propped himself up with one hand and began to undo her buttons with the

other.

They were both grown-ups, and after they admitted their feelings for each other,

they had suppressed their desires for more than half a year. Now, he seemed a bit impatient.
