Chapter 1107 Extra Story (Part Five)

"Adonis?"

Sally frowned and poked her in the arm. "Be honest with me. What did you do to him? Did you do anything inappropriate?

I know Adonis can be a bit distant and stand-offish at times, but he definitely knows his manners. He wouldn't have bullied you for no reason. So tell me, what did you do?

And most importantly, did you manage to accomplish what you wanted?"

Selina heaved a long sigh and pulled the quilt up to cover her entire body, determined to make herself sweat out the fever. "Look at me. I'm such a mess. Does it look like I succeeded?

Sally, you have no idea how severely he scolded me yesterday. He told me I didn't know my limits, that I was ungrateful, that I didn't know what's good for me, that I did whatever I wanted at his house..." Her voice shook slightly.

Sally patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged. It's no easy feat to win the heart of that hard-headed brother of mine. It's going to take time, so don't push yourself too hard. Just take things one day at a time. Don't give up easily!

Well, it's rare for you to fall sick, so you might as well take advantage of it while you can. I'm going to invite Adonis over for hotpot. It'll be a good opportunity for you to make amends. In the meantime, you get some good rest, okay?"

Selina wanted to tell her no, that she didn't want to see him at the moment, but before she could say anything, Sally had already left the room to make the call to her little brother.

Selina could only stare at the door with her mouth open, her protests still on the tip of her tongue. There was nothing she could do but take the medicine that Sally had left for her before promptly falling asleep.

Evening came quickly and Sally returned to the room. She gently shook Selina awake and said, "Selina? Come down and join us for hotpot. He's here already!"

Selina opened her eyes but still felt woozy. She squeezed her eyes shut again, trying to wake herself up. She forced herself to remember that Adonis was waiting and took off the quilt. "Okay, I'm coming.."

"Oh, Selina, there's something I need to tell you. Shana is here too. She came over to see me this afternoon. I felt bad sending her away, so I asked her to join us for dinner,"

Sally said apologetically. She had intended to create an opportunity for Selina to spend time with Adonis and settle their issues, but she hadn't expected Shana to come over.

Shana was such a sweet girl that she just didn't have the heart to send her home.

Selina was shocked to hear the news. She knew all about Shana.

Other than her, Shana was the only other girl that Adonis was close to, so Selina thought of her as her cl

s a unique girl, it was still difficult for her to capture his heart.

Shana heaved a mental sigh of relief and looked back in the direction of the stairs.

Back in the bedroom, Selina lay on the bed in a daze. Although she felt uncomfortable, she had already slept too much during the day and couldn't fall asleep now.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Are you still having a fever?"

Adonis came into the room and was greeted by the sight of Selina all rolled up in the quilt like a burrito. She had taken off her coat and put it neatly next to her on the bed. He noted that there were some pills on the bedside table.

Selina rolled over to face the other side, not acknowledging his presence.

Adonis went over to the bed and bent over to touch her forehead. He was shocked to find that it was still hot.

Selina slapped his slender hand aside. "Don't come near me. You were right. I'm not your relative, or your sister, and most definitely not your girlfriend. You don't need to care about me."

Adonis withdrew his hand and sat next to her on the bed. "Selina, I know I said some harsh words yesterday.

I just wanted you to learn how to restrain yourself and respect my privacy just a little bit. I never meant to break off our relationship entirely."

He had known her ever since he was fifteen years old. But even after all these years, she still managed to turn his world upside down every single time she appeared.

Although he hated to admit it, he had gotten used to humoring her. By this point it was almost like an automatic reaction. He didn't even have to think too much about it.

Suddenly, Selina popped her head out of the quilt and stared at him with an odd look in her bright almond eyes.

"What if I don't want to restrain myself?"
