Chapter 118 A Huge Bargain
"Rebecca, you're such an idiot!"
Silently cursing herself, Rebecca stood in the dressing room, secretly annoyed.
Footsteps mixed with a faint sandalwood scent approached. Looking back, she saw Frederick standing at the dressing room door.
Frederick had a complicated expression on his face, looking like he was about to interrogate her.
"What, what's wrong?"
Rebecca glanced at her open suitcase, then at the closet, thinking she must have packed something wrong.
Then she saw Frederick walk up to her. "Becca, you said we're even now?"
Just from Frederick's serious expression, she knew she'd said something wrong.
Rebecca mentally kicked herself for speaking carelessly.
How could they possibly be even?
Forget about that hundred million—just the meticulous treatment and care her mother received at the hospital alone could never be repaid.
She just hadn't expected Frederick to be so particular about her choice of words.
"I, I was just talking nonsense..."
Rebecca corrected herself. "We're not even. I took huge advantage of you... But Frederick, you said yourself that all of this was for me..."
Before she could finish, the bright light above suddenly disappeared.
A shadow fell over her as Frederick cornered Rebecca in the dressing room.
In Frederick's ears, only those words "huge advantage" echoed.
He was the one who lost control last night, but she was the one who started it.
Whether it was her unknowingly seductive behavior while drunk.
Or her obedient compliance.
Even those soft, barely audible moans challenged his nerves.
He had already let her off the hook, but she still wouldn't settle down.
One moment nuzzling against his neck.
The next moment touching his chest.
Even when he compromised and tried to escape, she could still chase after him pitifully: Honey...
God knows how torturous that whole night was for him.
But she just took two pills and... they're even?
"Becca..."
Lowering his head to find her lips, Frederick brushed against them and said, "Tell me, should we install a camera in our bedroom?"
Why would they need a camera?
And in the most private place—the bedroom?
Staring wide-eyed at Frederick, Rebecca's eyes were full of confusion.
Frederick took the opportunity to capture her lips.
Grinding against them forcefully, the empty, pent-up feeling in his heart seemed instantly enveloped by sweetness. Frederick said with ragged breathing, "You were the one kissing me, you were the one biting me, you were the one taking the initiative all last night, but... I was the one suffering!"
"Becca, I think installing a camera in the bedroom is very necessary. What do you think?"
As if recalling last night's torment, getting angrier the more he thought about it, Frederick kissed behind Rebecca's ear, then bit her earlobe.
Only now did she realize what he meant by "huge advantage," and that she had completely misunderstood.
Rebecca wanted to say something, but couldn't get a single word out.
She really didn't remember what happened last night!
Although Frederick's character was reliable and he would never twist the truth to frame her.
But still, she was drunk!
Learning for the first time that kissing could make someone as unsteady as being drunk, Rebecca clutched Frederick's shirt with both hands, breathing unevenly. "Frederick... don't!"
Rebecca in his arms kept sliding down.
Frederick tightened his grip, lifting her up, kissing her fiercely. "Don't what?"
Behind her was the corner, nowhere to retreat.
In front was Frederick, hard and burning hot like an iron wall.
The air in her chest felt completely squeezed out. Rebecca shook her head. "Don't, don't install a camera."
"So?"
Frederick stopped, his voice husky. "Still want to call us even?"
As if hearing what he was getting at, Rebecca felt both embarrassed and annoyed. "I was wrong, okay..."
"I won't say it again, okay..."
Rebecca kissed the corner of his lips appeasingly. "Honey..."
Bright light fell over them, making Frederick's face look particularly intense.
Rolling waves churned in the depths of his deep eyes.
In an instant, a gentle breeze passed through, smoothing out the waves bit by bit.
Taking a deep breath of relief, Frederick nodded. "Okay!"
