Chapter 288: Adult Behavior

“I’ll transfer 140 thousand dollars to you. When will I see a return?”

The middle-aged man replied, “I’ve told you many times—after one week, it will definitely double. If Mr. Paul doesn’t dare to try, then don’t bother.”

Paul sneered. “It’s just 140 thousand dollars. If I lose it, I’ll just consider it money for your coffin.”

Yunice, on the other end of the line, scoffed. It was clear they were two peas in a pod, both Paul and Elsie. They were so eager to buy her a coffin together. But Yunice was the one who would buy the coffin. She would use this money to bury Paul and Elsie together, locking them away for a lifetime.

After hanging up, Paul transferred the 140 thousand dollars to the man, then left the balcony to speak to Elsie. “I can’t come to your birthday party.”

The Powell family and Wyatt were both looking for him. Right now, he had no proper explanation and no face to show up in public.

Elsie, being considerate, said, “Yunice will also be there. Yunice loves to show off, and she’ll definitely bring Wyatt with her. I didn’t think it through, Paul. You really shouldn’t come.”

Paul remained serious, but unusually, he didn’t respond to Elsie’s words.

Elsie felt a bit disappointed. She hoped Paul would be called back by the Powell family to continue his role as the heir, not hiding in her room like a mouse, selling her things every day. What she wanted was Paul’s platinum card. Otherwise, why would she compete with Yunice? If Paul wouldn’t leave, then Elsie would have to continue supporting him.

At Pavilion Hall, someone knocked on the study door, and Yunice opened it to find Jordan standing outside.

Jordan looked troubled and said, “Mrs. Cooper, Wyatt has an important engagement tonight…”

Seeing Jordan hesitating, Yunice thought for a moment before asking, “You want me to wake Wyatt up?”

Jordan nodded eagerly, as if he had found a savior.

Yunice frowned. “Is it an important client?”

Why can’t they let Wyatt rest for a bit? Even robots can’t run like this without a break.

Jordan nodded. “Yes, it’s a very important client.”

Yunice had no choice but to go to the bedroom and wake Wyatt up. Closing the bedroom door behind her, the first thing Yunice saw was Wyatt lying on the bed. His…

Yunice walked closer, and her eyes were immediately drawn to his strong, toned waist, which seemed even more captivating.

In her mind, Yunice silently evaluated his body… Really impressive.

“Wyatt, wake up.” Yunice lightly slapped his face a couple of times, making a sound as her hand hit his cheek.

Wyatt frowned, clearly irritated. He lifted his hand and brushed Yunice’s hand aside. He rolled over and went back to sleep.

Yunice froze. This was the first time she had seen Wyatt in a bad mood upon waking up. No wonder Jordan didn’t want to wake him up and passed this job onto her. It was at that moment that Yunice noticed the bracelet exposed on Wyatt’s wrist.

As she reached out to take the bracelet from his wrist, Wyatt quickly grabbed her wrist and pinned her down to the bed.

Yunice let out a surprised gasp. “It’s me! Jordan said you had an important engagement, so I was supposed to wake you up.”

Wyatt began to wake up, relaxing his grip on her but still keeping her pinned down. “Your way of waking me up is by stealing?”

Yunice shamelessly replied, “It works, doesn’t it?”

Wyatt chuckled. “As usual, you don’t lose out.”

If he hadn’t woken up, Yunice would have surely claimed the bracelet for herself.

Yunice didn’t respond; instead, her gaze lingered on Wyatt’s sleeping robe. She hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Do you need to take care of something?”

There was a bulge in his robe. Morning erections were a sign of normal blood circulation and nerve function. It wasn’t driven by sexual fantasy or desire.

Yunice, being a doctor, was able to handle the situation normally. In her mind, she concluded that Wyatt was a normal man.

Wyatt looked down at Yunice, his lips tightening slightly. Yunice, without hesitation, thought that with two hours left before the engagement Jordan mentioned, there might be enough time.

Wyatt was a normal man, and she was a normal woman. She wasn’t opposed to adult behavior. If they were going to address physical needs, why not with the best option available?

As for Wyatt’s physical condition, she was satisfied. If she needed a bed partner, he was definitely suitable.

Yunice didn’t resist. She looked into Wyatt’s eyes firmly, showing no sign of shyness or rejection. After half a minute, Wyatt asked, “Are you trying to join the party?”

It seems she truly has no expectations or desires toward me, which is why she can look at me so calmly. Wyatt’s heart, which had been racing, gradually slowed down as he pulled away from Yunice and went directly to the bathroom.

Yunice lay still on the bed, staring at the ceiling. This was the second time Wyatt had rejected her.
