His indifferent voice made Sophian shiver.

There was heating everywhere in the house, so it felt like a warm spring. However, at that moment, she felt as though she was outside where the wind and snow were falling on her body. It absorbed the temperature from her body little by little.

Sophian opened her mouth and breathed hard. She tried to make herself look calmer, but her legs were shaking involuntarily. She looked at the man whose head was turned away. There was fear in her eyes but also greed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Crawford, I... I'm lost. Can you help me?" she said and took a step inside.

"Scram," Luke said without turning his head to take a second look.

His voice was like a beast dormant in the night, warning the creatures that intruded into its territory.

Sophian took a step back in an instant.

"I. I can't find my bedroom..." Sophian told a clumsy lie. She was so panicked that she felt as though she was about to cry.

She thought that Luke would want her when he saw her dressed as such. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

What was happening was beyond her expectations.

She was dressed in sexy lingerie and thought that no man could not hold back when they saw her. Sophian did not expect that he would react so indifferently.

‘Could it be that he's interested but he's choosing to push his desires down?'

Sophian could not figure him out. Her whole body was shaking, but she tried her best to control it. She did not want Luke to notice her fear.

‘I have to be his woman. I have to.'

Sophian had only one belief in her heart, so she stood there firmly and said, "Mr. Crawford, can you take me back to my bedroom?"

Seeing that Sophian refused to leave, Luke got out of bed and walked to the door.

"Mr. Crawford..." When she saw him walk toward her, Sophian took a deep breath and could not stop her heartbeat from beating like a drum. She saw hope when the man she had been dreaming of was getting closer.

The next second, Luke slammed the door mercilessly and locked it.

The tip of Sophian's nose was less than a centimeter away from the door. If she were just a step closer, the tip of her nose would have hit the door.

She immediately teared up.

Men could not refuse beautiful women, but at this moment, she was turned down by Luke even though she was dressed so sexily. She felt like she had lost her dignity.

"What are you doing standing here dressed like this?" Yuri walked up from the first floor to the second floor and walked over when she heard some sounds, only to see Sophian in a nightgown. Her mood turned gloomy in an instant.

She was standing in front of Luke's bedroom dressed so sexily. She seemed to forget that there were other men in the house.

‘Is she trying to seduce Luke?’

Yuri did not care that she was trying to seduce Luke, but she was pissed because Louis also lived in the house. She instantly saw Sophian as an unwelcome and shameless guest.

Sophian panicked when she saw Yuri. "I-I'm lost..."

"Lost?" Yuri squinted her eyes and looked at her with disdain. She taunted her for going so far to seduce a man. "You’re lost at Luke's bedroom door? Wow. However, the door’s closed shut but you're still standing here wearing such revealing clothes. Why? Are you trying to seduce someone else?"

"No, no! I wanted to go downstairs to get some water, but I forgot... I..." Sophian hurriedly explained herself.

"Okay, I didn't want to expose your little lie, but since you’re being stubborn. Crawford Manor is big, but it’s not so big that someone can get lost here. Do you think that this is a castle? I heard the sound of the door closing just now. You were kicked out, right? Also, Luke is picky with his women. Not all women can climb into his bed. Here’s some advice. Put away your ill intentions and go back to Korea," Yuri said, disgusted.

Previously, she did not like Sophian but could not say that she disliked her.

She was now disgusted with her when she saw what she was up to.

After all, a lot of men and children were walking around Crawford Manor. What would the others think if they saw her dressed as such?

Many women had wanted to seduce Louis over the years, so Yuri hated this kind of shameless woman. "I. Mrs. Crawford, this is a misunderstanding..." Sophian panicked and tried to explain herself.

"Scram back to your room! How are you going to explain yourself if the children see you dressed like this? Also, besides Luke and Louis, Crawford Manor has male servants walking around too. If you’re interested in the servants, by all means. But forget about it if you’re trying to go for Luke. My advice to you is to pack your bags tonight, return to South Korea tomorrow, and go for more plastic surgery. Maybe then your tricks will be useful to other men." Yuri sneered and returned to her bedroom.

Sophian covered her face and ran to the guest room for fear that a third person would see her at that moment.

Two people had seen through her. She could not help but hate Allison. If it were not for her instigation, she would not have crossed the line and done what she did.

She closed the door of the guest room and held her cold hands. She was so frightened that her body temperature went down when she was standing in front of Luke's bedroom. At that moment, her heart felt like it had fallen to the bottom of an ice cave.

Sophian covered her face to hide the despair it would show. She felt like she had lost all hope...

'Maybe Luke will kick me out tomorrow...'

Sophian was unwilling to give up when she thought of Luke's indifferent gaze.

She did not want to let go of the opportunity after she had waited so long to meet such a handsome and wealthy man...

'You can't just give up. You can't, you can't! You have to be Luke's woman!'

Sophian said to herself.

On the other hand.

Yuri went back to the bedroom. Louis was still awake. He was leaning on the bed and reading a book.

"Weren't you lying down? Why are you reading now?" Yuri could not help but ask.

"I couldn't fall asleep, so I started reading," Louis said as he flipped through the book and continued to read.

Yuri frowned. Although their bedroom was some distance from Luke's, there was no guarantee that Louis did not see Sophian.

All men like to play. Louis used to like to fool around, so Yuri could not help but worry and ask, "Did you go out of the bedroom just now?"

"No," Louis said.

"If you didn't go out of the bedroom, where did you get the book?" Yuri wanted the details.

"This book has been on the bedside table." Louis held up the book and showed her the cover.

Yuri recognized that it was the book that he kept on the bedside table and occasionally read before going to bed. She was relieved and said, "Do you know who I bumped into just now?"
