“Gulp…”
Flynn felt his mouth dry and couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, discreetly shifting his gaze elsewhere.
Just then, whether the cabinet was too high or she was still groggy from sleep, Rose’s stool slipped, and she started to fall to one side.
“Oops!”
Rose stumbled, instantly becoming mostly alert.
As she was about to hit the ground, Flynn darted into the room and caught Rose with one hand.
Caught off guard, Flynn’s hand ended up in an inappropriate place.
His left hand landed on Rose’s right breast, and his right supported her buttocks.
Due to the pressure of Rose’s weight, her breasts surged upward under Flynn’s hand like tectonic plates shifting, shockingly prominent.
With the soft sensation flooding his brain and Rose’s fragrance filling his nostrils, Flynn’s mind buzzed.
It felt like touching freshly steamed, soft, and warm white buns.
His hand sank in without much force.
For a moment, the air was still, filled with an ambiguous tension.
“Aren’t you going to let go?” Rose’s face cooled down as she turned to look at Flynn, frowning.
Flynn, snapping back to reality, quickly steadied Rose and coughed lightly, feeling extremely awkward.
This was the same thing she said when Flynn was about to perform CPR after she fell into a river.
He hadn’t expected to encounter the same situation today.
“Jerk, trying to take advantage of me, right?” Rose muttered under her breath, unable to help but glance towards the door.
She feared that Scarlet might hear something and suddenly appear at the door, which would only make things worse for her.
Hearing this, Flynn became annoyed and retorted, “Hey! Get what just happened straight, will you? Didn’t you see the stool slip? If it weren’t for…”
“I didn’t see anything else; I just saw you taking advantage of me, you scumbag!” Rose interrupted Flynn, throwing a blanket at him and pushing him towards the door.
“You reek of alcohol; you’ve had too much to drink, you’re no good, I should never let you drink so much here again, just go to sleep!”
Flynn felt even more aggrieved hearing this. What was it with these women, always saying he was no good.
Didn’t she know that no man likes to hear that they are incapable?
He had helped her, and yet she suspected him of plotting something under the influence of alcohol!
Who could he even complain to?
He should have just let her fall.
“Hey! Ms. Sharp, aren’t you being a bit too much?”
“Don’t want to offer me a drink, fine, but what’s with making things up?” Flynn said, his face darkening.
He clearly remembered that Rose had promised that they would drink to their heart’s content at her house after his victory.
Now that Rose was saying this, Flynn felt like she was backing out.
“Didn’t I open a bottle of beer for you today? Consider that promise kept,” Rose said coldly as she pushed Flynn out of the room.
Hearing this, Flynn’s eyes nearly popped out, his face turning red with anger.
“Just opening a bottle of beer and you think that’s settling it? Rose, I’ve seen through you!”
“Seen through?” Rose lifted her semi-transparent nightgown slightly and huffed, “You’ve indeed seen through me, had your fill of ogling, you damn scoundrel!”
With that, she moved to close the door.
Flynn froze, instantly understanding Rose’s implication, and held the bedroom door firmly.
“What… what are you trying to do? I’m calling for help!” Rose exclaimed in alarm.
“You’re thinking too much. I just want to tell you, don’t flatter yourself. With your unreasonable behavior, no man would marry you; you’d end up alone!” Flynn said with rolled eyes, both angry and annoyed.
“Mind your own business!” Rose retorted, her neck arched and her beautiful eyes glaring at Flynn.
“Even if I end up alone for life, I would never marry a scumbag like you!”
“Your hand was like a precision-guided missile, touching exactly there among so many places! Are you saying it wasn’t on purpose?”
Flynn almost spat blood, gnashing his teeth as he said, “When I rushed over, your head was about to hit the ground. If I hadn’t tried to lift it, you would definitely have hit the floor.”
“Am I supposed to analyze where I can and can’t touch someone when I’m trying to save them?”
“If that were the case, your head would have been split open!”
“Humph! I’ve lived all this time and never met a woman as unreasonable as you!”
Flynn, fuming and panting, his face turning as red as a monkey’s butt, liked to look at beautiful women, but he was never one to take advantage of the situation.
It was painful to be wronged.
“Never met an unreasonable woman?”
“Well, you have now!”
“No matter how you explain it, you can’t cover up your scoundrel nature. Don’t forget, you have a history.”
“I haven’t even settled the score with you for last time you undressed me, and now you dare mess around? Go to sleep, or I’ll call Scarlet and Molly to beat you up!”
Rose smirked wickedly and slammed the door shut.
Of course, she knew Flynn hadn’t done it on purpose, but she just wanted to irritate him.
The more agitated he got, the happier she became.
Who told him to undress her that day, who told him to always be so careless and irresponsible?
“I’ll infuriate you, you bastard!”
“Damn it… Rose, go ahead and infuriate me. After all, you already have $500 billion, you don’t need me anymore, do you?”
“You heartless woman, I must have been cursed to have met you!”
Flynn clenched his teeth, cursing to the heavens, and one could imagine that if a bigwig from Demon Island Prison were around, he would definitely have vented his anger on him.
“Still here? Then I’m calling Scarlet.” Rose leaned against the door, seeing Flynn so furious he nearly exploded, she covered her mouth and laughed.
“You…” Flynn almost fainted from anger, clutching his blanket as he returned to his room.
Three women make a drama; if Rose spouted nonsense, he wouldn’t get any sleep tonight.
After covering himself with the blanket, Flynn’s anger grew, and he found himself unable to sleep.
Suddenly, he threw off the blanket and sat up in bed, circulating his inner breath and entering a brief state of meditation, which calmed him significantly.
“I’ve been here in Niarak for over two months, just helping that ungrateful Rose, nearly neglecting my martial arts.”
“Starting tomorrow, I need to stay away from these women, they disturb my spiritual focus!”
Flynn lay in bed, resolute in his decision.
The sea of knowledge is boundless, and even if Flynn was unmatched in the world, there was still room for improvement.
Indeed, these past two months, he had been searching for places filled with spiritual energy.
So far, he had found none.
But since Niarak served as the Healer’s Haven, it must have its extraordinary aspects.
Otherwise, the medicinal herbs here couldn’t possibly be so potent.
Flynn checked his phone and saw it was past three in the morning.
Just as he was about to turn off his screen, he noticed an unread message.
Callie Pearce had sent the message in the early hours, which Flynn only now saw due to his preoccupations.
“Mr. Clark, you helped my father so much, Princess Lingfei would like to thank you.”
Seeing this message, Flynn envisioned Callie Pearce’s graceful demeanor.
She looked especially beautiful in traditional attire.
Like a celestial being, ethereal and refined, every smile and frown showing her noble upbringing.
Look at that, such a good girl, obedient, well-educated, and cooperative, unlike Rose and Molly who always did the opposite.
But he had just vowed to stay away from women and devote himself to cultivation.
Well, cultivating could wait a couple more days.
Besides, he had told Brandon Pearce yesterday that he would provide another training method for the Blade Special Forces.
He’d leave it to Molly tomorrow to bring to Brandon Pearce.
That was a sufficient reason to make plans.
“Sure! No need for a meal, let’s just hang out and relax a bit.”
