Chapter 92 - Calm Days Before The Storm (2)

While Alex had been taking care of his wife, April was locked in a battle of wits with Cefei. His words left her eyes open to her current situation. Due to this awakening, she had refuse the invitation of her parents to go out. Instead, she asked for a time for herself.

But instead of having a silent and peaceful day, Cefei who introduced his name as Hugh was constantly making her days lively. As soon as her parents leave, he would knock on her door and invite her to go out.

At first, she persistently declined. This caused to be the wrong moved. That whole day, he had been jumping and causing all sorts of noises on top of her room. Causing her to unable to focus or think.

Not only this, but he had also talked to her nonstop if she was on the veranda. She tried to report the man to the hotel staff but was unable to get any results. It seems like the man had powers within the hotel and was unable to kick him out. Left with no choice, she gritted her teeth and finally succ.u.mbed to his invitation.

At the moment, they were walking on the beach. Although it was November, the sea breeze was bearable. It wasn't hot nor was it too cold. April had worn a light blue dress with a gray cardigan, matched with white doll shoes. Beside her, stood a handsome man in a white shirt and jeans. Cefei wore it too casually yet still standing out.

Along the way, April had been silently listening to him talk. He talked about his travels for the last two years, what he did and what he enjoyed. Surprisingly, she finds it interesting. Sometimes, she would even ask simple questions such as, "Wasn't that country too humid? Isn't doing that dangerous? Seriously, you slept on a tree?".

She couldn't believe this man had experienced quite a lot of adventures. She somehow felt that her life was dull and uneventful. She somehow wishfully thought to experience some of his adventures. It sounded fun and exciting as he vividly explains his surroundings and his experiences. Hoping that her life was this carefree and meaningful.

Cefei enjoyed walking along the beach with her. Though it might sound chummy, he honestly just wanted to get to know her more. He couldn't help but feel attracted to her. Somehow, when he first saw her at the balcony. His eyes found her pleasing to his eyes, his body wishes to touch her and his heart begged to become closer to hers. Although it might sound l.u.s.tful at the start, later he became mild and sincere. To make her open up, he decided to tell stories about himself first. Seeing that she was occasionally asking questions, it gave him a positive feeling that he was on the right track.

He knew that he shouldn't try to sway her feelings, yet he couldn't get himself away from her. As soon as he becomes attracted to one person, that person always lands on his bed without a doubt. He had never failed even once but April's situation was different. He didn't want to get entangled with her messy life and yet here he is. Trying to impress her with his adventures.

He honestly didn't understand it either. Cefei didn't have any impressions of her when he first saw her at the party nor when he secretly when to see her in England. Why did it change now? He knew that he was physically attracted to her. Would his l.u.s.t become over once he bring her to her bed? But he would become a beast if he tried to do so. He knew what she had gone through without asking, so he didn't want to add up to her demons.

Maybe he was just curious about her? Who knows? Maybe he just felt guilty when he had brought her to Alex's bedroom? Whatever the issues were, he just wanted to get to know her at this point. Maybe it would clear up something on his head so that he would be able to see why he can't stay away from her.

From all his conclusion, he had never once thought of falling in love with her. This would be absurd, for he had never fallen in love with anyone. His little jimmy speaks more for himself than his heart. This, he could not deny. He was a l.u.s.tful person but not the point of being a beast. Cefei had always gained permission before taking actions. He had never laid his hands on a woman that didn't desire him back.

"How about you? What's your story like?" He casually asked at the end of his story.

April sighed. The longer she talked to this man, the longer she thought that he could read her. Without mentioning her mental problems, she just said that she an unfortunate event happened to her.

"You could say that I was young and naive. Helplessly in love with someone who was engaged. Thinking that it was his last night as a bachelor, I took the opportunity when he was unable to defend himself. Although I didn't put him in that situation, I'm still a guilty person." April sighed.

This was something Cefei didn't know about. So, she took advantage of Alex that night as well? Is was getting more interesting. "So after that, what happened?"

"What do you mean what happened? Of course, I hid it from him. He didn't even know that it was me. Not until he saw my almost 3 year old son. He saw their similarities and secretly took a DNA Test. When the results came out positive, he immediately took responsibility. When his wife knew of it, they end up fighting. Causing their marriage to fall beyond repair. Now, they are on the process of divorce."

"But what?" Cefei asked.

"But what?" April looked at him, unable to understand his question.

"I could hear a but."

April sighed. "But I feel guilty nowadays. You could say that your words opened my eyes. If I didn't show up, their marriage wouldn't end like this. If I didn't show up, she wouldn't be targeting me."

"Targeting? What do you mean?" He knew what she meant but still, he asked.

April pursed her lips. It wasn't right for her to say these things in front of a stranger. Well, I guess you could say that Hugh and her was now acquaintance. Still, she didn't answer. She didn't even tell Alex about it, why could she tell Hugh. Yet for some reason, she felt at ease with him.

"Oh, just small things. Nothing to worry about. Casual catfights, no harm done." April smiled.

If Cefei didn't really know about the inside story, he would still doubt her words. She didn't sound convincing enough that it didn't do any harm to her. What could he do though? It wasn't his place to act since they were just getting to know each other. Still, leaving some advises shouldn't hurt.

"You say that it didn't brought you any harm, but why are your hands shaking? As if your body fears her instinctively?" Cefei did notice this.

Hearing those words, April gasped. This man had been keenly observing her, leaving her without anywhere to go to. For what purpose though? Was it really because of mere attraction? Even she was unaware that her hands were shaking with fear.
