Criticism & Raid

The young lady in Rhode's embrace leaned in closely. Both of them were extremely familiar with this sensation after their long-term intimate interactions. Rhode had expected to have a sweet ending for the night, but…

A finger pushed against his lips and stopped his advances.

"Marlene?"

Rhode gazed dubiously at her. He realized that Marlene appeared a little off at the moment. Her smile was filled with a sense of confidence and something else he couldn't explain clearly. Although her soft, slender body had leaned into him, she behaved peculiarly.

"Don't think you can get away with it, Rhode."

"I don't intend to."

Rhode shrugged in surprise. In fact, what he said was the truth. He was confident that he wouldn't fail, but it served no purpose for him to explain further. However, what astonished him was that Marlene shook her head unexpectedly.

"I wasn't referring to that, Rhode… It's regarding Lize. Don't you have something to say to me?"
