“Mila, do you need me to give you a ride home?” Laila asked.

“That’s okay. Someone’s here to pick me up.” Mila smiled sweetly.

If her parents were here to pick her up, Mila would definitely say it was her parents. However, she didn’t mention who the other party was, which meant it wasn’t convenient for her to say it. There was a high chance it was her boyfriend.

Laila had worked with more than ten celebrities before and found Mila’s reaction quite obvious. As a manager, she should know if her actors were in a relationship to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After coming out of the airport, Laila and Rosy got into the MPV and left. Mila sat on a chair nearby and waited for a while before seeing Chaucer.

“Sorry, I’m late.”

Chaucer had always been punctual, but he returned to his family residence last night. When he drove his luxury car to the airport in the morning, he realized his cheap car was still parked at Dragon Bay. Hence, he hurriedly drove back there and changed his car before coming to the airport.

He sped all the way, but he was still late.

“That’s alright. I just got off the plane.”

Mila got up, and Chaucer immediately took the suitcase from her.

After the two of them got into the car, Chaucer put one hand on the steering wheel and drove with a focused expression. His nose bridge was high, and his jawline was well-defined. He looked very charming.

Mila glanced at him casually and had to admit he was really handsome.

“Mila,” Chaucer suddenly called her name.

Mila turned her head to look at him. “Yes?”

“Don’t let what happened last night happen again. We’re just a marriage in name. I won’t sleep with you, so don’t waste your time.”

Mila looked at Chaucer’s righteous expression and couldn’t help but sneer. “Chaucer, aren’t you thinking too highly of yourself? I’m not interested in you.”

Chaucer looked displeased and snorted. “I hope you’ll keep your word!”

He should have been relieved to hear Mila say that she wasn’t interested in him, but at this moment, it was as if a rock was pressing down on his heart.

He had been gifted since he was young. He was a handsome man with a prominent family background and had always been the best student at school. Countless daughters of wealthy families wanted to marry him, but Mila actually didn’t like him.

Perhaps Mila wasn’t interested because she thought he was just an ordinary person. If she knew that he was the son of a wealthy family, she might change her mind.

Chaucer’s expression was cold, and he became very quiet.

Mila turned her head away, feeling a little unhappy. What happened last night was just an accident, but Chaucer actually thought she had deliberately taken off her clothes to seduce him. It was so ridiculous.

She didn’t like Chaucer at all. Even if she did, she had her dignity and wouldn’t humiliate herself in this way.

Mila thought Chaucer had asked to pick her up because he cared about her. After all, they lived under the same roof and had to get along well in the future.

The fire in her heart was instantly extinguished by Chaucer’s words. Their relationship was even colder than before.

Mila had been busy with work recently and wasn’t used to sleeping in a hotel. Since she was drunk the night before, she fell asleep not long after closing her eyes.

Chaucer noticed her breathing grow slower. Realizing she had fallen asleep, he immediately slowed down the car.

Ten minutes later, Chaucer’s phone suddenly rang. It was Jen.

Chaucer was afraid of waking Mila up, so he quickly put on his earphones.

“Mom.”

“Chaucer, did you get Mila?” Jen asked.

Chaucer said, “Yes, we’re on our way home.”

“I haven’t seen Mila in a long time. Why don’t we have lunch together?”

Chaucer hesitated. “She’s a little tired. Maybe…”

“Forget it. Just give Mila the phone. I’ll talk to her myself.”

Chaucer was about to say Mila was asleep when he turned around and saw Mila staring at him.

“Mom wants to talk to you.” Chaucer passed the phone over, and Mila took it without saying a word to him.

Wasn’t he afraid she would seduce him? Then it was best for her to interact less and speak less in the future!

“Mom!” As soon as Mila picked up the phone, she immediately changed her demeanor and spoke in a sweet voice.

Hearing Mila’s voice, Jen felt her heart was about to melt. She said happily, “Hey! Mila, you’re finally back. Aren’t you tired after going out for so long? You must have lost weight, right? Let’s go to a nice restaurant. My treat, okay?”

“That’s great! I missed you!” Mila was extremely obedient and said coquettishly, “I could only eat boxed lunch and the hotel’s buffet. I’ve wanted to come back for a feast for a long time. I’m so glad you’ve invited me!”
