It’s been so long without a reaction, Jovana Shaw was getting a bit anxious, her body leaning closer and closer, wishing she could press half her chest against Mason Nightshade.
That shouldn’t be! Such beauty right in front of him, and yet no reaction,
Thinking of this, a scheming glint flashed in Jovana Shaw’s eyes, and she resolutely moved an inch closer to Mason Nightshade.
Mason Nightshade gave a mocking smile, retreating without a word, leaning against the sofa and watching Jovana Shaw with a smile.
The corners of the man’s mouth were clearly curved up, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes, which were chilling and frightening. Jovana Shaw shivered, her face showed an unnatural expression, stiffly tugging at the corners of her mouth and asked, "Brother-in-law, wha... what’s wrong?"
Mason Nightshade’s smile deepened, "Nothing, just wanted to remind you that the air conditioner is on in this room, it’s cold, don’t catch a cold."
The man’s words carried an implied meaning, which Jovana Shaw naturally understood, her face reddened in an instant as if she had been slapped hard, burning with pain.
Mason Nightshade had apparently seen through her intentions long ago, only observing quietly like watching a play.
Thinking of herself as a clown, jumping around unknowingly—Jovana Shaw stood up in anger and grievance, tears in her eyes, accusingly glaring at Mason Nightshade, "Brother-in-law, how can you do this! How can you... how can you... spy on me!"
Tears flowed down her cheeks like they cost nothing, "pat pat pat."
Jovana Shaw’s eyes were red, her pajamas hung messily on her body, the strap slipping, revealing large patches of snow-white skin, looking truly like she had just been "bullied."
Mason Nightshade’s brows furrowed deeply, doubting what nonsense this woman was trying to pull again, when he suddenly heard some movement from the direction of the bathroom. He had a bad premonition and turned to look, only to see Aurelia Shaw at the bathroom door, her calm gaze moving back and forth between the two of them.
The servant behind him appeared to have heard something they shouldn’t have, their face pale, head lowered almost to their chest, not daring to breathe.
Mason Nightshade instantly realized, glaring at Jovana Shaw with murderous fury.
Jovana Shaw’s heart trembled violently, her legs nearly giving way to kneeling, she hadn’t expected Mason Nightshade to be so frightening when angry, like a man-eating beast. Her lips trembled, knowing she couldn’t offend Mason Nightshade, she hastily said, "Sister, don’t misunderstand, there’s nothing going on between me and brother-in-law. I had some questions I couldn’t solve, dad was asleep, so I came to find brother-in-law."
"If you don’t believe me... If you don’t believe me, look at my books and the notes I just took."
Jovana Shaw was about to cry, the tears genuine this time, not because she feared Aurelia Shaw’s misunderstanding, but because she was frightened by Mason Nightshade’s terrifying gaze.
As soon as she let go of her hand, the strap slipped down, and she exclaimed "ah" and quickly covered herself again, tears falling like a string of broken beads, "pat pat."
"Waaa... It’s all my fault, making sister misunderstand brother-in-law, it’s all my fault, why am I so stupid, always making sister unhappy."
If this were before, Aurelia Shaw would have surely believed Jovana Shaw’s words, blamed herself for misunderstanding her, and then generously bought her clothes and jewelry to make up for it.
