Chapter 863: Cuckold (part two)
"Well, don't worry much about her. She looks pale simply because she spot me." Rain smiled at them handsomely. He looked both inviting and profound. Without even asking for their permission, he sat straight down in front of them. His wicked smile deepened even more as he stared at Melissa from across the table. Rain's action made Shaun even more confused. The way the man was staring at Melissa was enough to give him goosebumps. It seemed like there was a secret between the two that he couldn't figure out.
"Hey, who are you?" Shaun managed to say as he felt the pressure surrounded them quickly. The handsome man sitting in front of them looked both dangerous and charming. How he was staring at his woman also made him instantly mad. How dared he look at Melissa like that?
You don't need to know who I am. You just need to understand who she is. That woman sitting next to you sure got mad skills, I will give her that." Rain crossed his legs and casually leaned against the chair's backrest, that was his signature way of sitting. He was wearing a cold smirk as if he was in deep thoughts. His hand was elegantly rolling his wine inside his glass as he continued to stare at the woman. Rain just looked utterly enchanting that even the most beautiful woman on earth would find it hard to beat his charm.
"Shaun, I don't know him at all. Don't listen to his bullshit!" Melissa deliberately lowered her voice. However, it wouldn't change the fact that she was Jessica herself. It was sad though that nothing escaped Rain's eyes no matter how desperately she tried.
Rest assured, I don't think I know you either. I just somehow find you quite similar to someone I know. A prostitute who works in the nightclub I used to visit a lot. I wonder if that rings a bell to you?" Rain's smile deepened. Extreme joy was sparking in his eyes as he thought, 'Jessica Lin, Let's see how long can you pull this off!'
Don't be ridiculous! What do you mean by similar? I am telling you that you must have mistaken me for someone else. This is clearly a misunderstanding! I have never been to any nightclubs nor have I ever worked as a prostitute!" Melissa set her teeth in determination and glared at Rain. She thought to herself, 'Damn you Rain, how dare you say that I am a prostitute? How dare you!' Her hands clenched in anger. Melissa's face distorted with wrath. However, she didn't dare to say her mind on Rain's face directly. Farthest she could do was to curse him inside her head.
"Well, you heard her words. Dude, she said she didn't know you. Why don't you just beat it!" A typical spoiled rich man he was, Shaun always acted in the most arrogant way when dealing with things. He treated no one with respect as he was extremely self-centered. He was even worse whenever someone more handsome than him appeared. He intended to be ruder.
"Excuse me, I must have made a mistake here. However, with all being said, I bet she has slept with multiple men before you." Rain stood up and left with joyful laughter. He had said what he wanted to say. Now he just needed to hear what Melissa got to say to defend herself. It seemed that she had fun pretending to be someone she wasn't. He sincerely hoped that she could still laugh till the very end! After all, it would be a pity to see the "fun" game end so soon.
"Wait a minute. What did he mean by that? Did you lie to me?" Shaun's eyebrows furrowed tightly. His thought was brought back to the night when they first had sex with each other. The man just said that she had slept with other men before. Shaun was wondering what was the blood stain on the bed sheet then. Did Melissa cut her fingertip and use that to trick him?
Shaun, what is wrong with you? Would you rather believe some random stranger than me? He is just a lunatic out from nowhere!" Melissa bit her bottom lip and stared into Shaun's eyes. She looked all sad with her big beautiful eyes brimming with tears.
"Come on, I am not accusing you of anything. I didn't say that I don't trust you. However, he sounded so convincing. It did give me a good reason to doubt about the whole thing." Shaun's heart melted upon seeing that she was about to burst out crying. He felt greatly sorry for her and no words could describe the feelings he had for her. He extended his hand and started to stroke her back gently.
How could you believe his words? Didn't you see how he looks like? He looks like a total faggot. Why would you even listen to the untrue crap coming from his mouth? I don't know what he is exactly after but I do know that he is definitely messing us up for no reason!" Melissa wanted to check where Rain went so that she could locate Edward. It bothered her greatly whether Edward was there or not. However, Shaun kept questioning her and she had to focus on her answers. Shaun's words indicated that he had doubted her. Melissa didn't dare to turn her head to Rain's direction under such circumstances. She honestly even found it hard to breathe normally due to her nervousness.
Don't you find that man overly enchanting?" Shaun raised his eyebrow and wondered where he saw him last time.
"What a faggot! He is certainly enchanting in a sissy way!" Melissa's smile looked bitter as she was desperately trying to cover up Rain's identity. She felt somewhat relieved that Shaun had little knowledge about the senior management of the FX International Group. Otherwise, he would know straight away who Rain really was. She found it really difficult to keep up her lies. She was the one who initiated Shaun to destroy the FX International Group and she was afraid that she might eventually taste her own medicine when things fell apart. She had her own doubts in Shaun as she had observed him long enough to tell that he was not capable at all. She even considered him stupid when she compared him with Edward. She merely did some pillow talk and he actually had the confidence to challenge the FX International Group. 'That was just hilarious.' Melissa smirked and she thought to herself. Sometimes, she would wonder whether he graduated from Harvard or not. It seemed to her that he was nothing but a stupid and low-level sly. Apparently, the years he spent abroad didn't make him into a well-educated gentleman. She had every reason to doubt him, judging from his ways of doing business or simply talking to others. Melissa felt sorry for herself as she had to spend time with a reckless Shaun instead of being with an outstanding Edward. Edward was both rich and handsome. Most importantly, he had this unique charm that could make people around him constantly enchanted. He acted like a noble prince wherever he went. This was something Shaun would never learn to have. In Melissa's mind, he was simply too stupid. However, in order to achieve her own despicable goal, she had to accompany him with a forced smile for now.
Shaun cast a thoughtful look at Melissa and then he looked away. He tried to see where Rain went but to his surprise, Rain seemed to disappear into thin air. It would never occur to him that Rain was actually sitting in the booth next to theirs. However, the shields between the chairs were too high for him to see, thus, he didn't know that he was just there.
"Well, it is time for me to leave now. You guys can stay if you want to. I need to attend to something private. See you later. Oh, please be careful and don't raise suspicion from them." Edward winked at Rain as he returned to their booth. With these words, Edward took his phone and left the table. He was not in the mood to hang around here. His mind was completely occupied with someone precious to him, the only woman who took his breath away. Even if they had silly fights from time to time, he still couldn't hold any grudges against her. Instead, he found himself more and more into her as days passed by.
