The girl took a deep breath, trying to drive that strange sensation out of her body.

Celine seemed to have noticed that her sister was unusually flushed, but she said nothing. She simply shrank back a little and shut her mouth.

-What else could I say? I'm just an innocent girl who only dares to play little porn games.jpg

"Anyway, it's not what you think."

Esnie composed herself a little, though for some reason she felt guilty as she said that.

"Sure, sure, sure."

Celine nodded as she spoke, looking perfectly obedient.

But when she saw how her sister so obviously averted her eyes while lying, she couldn't help grumbling inwardly.

-Do you even believe that yourself, Sis?

Failing to notice anything odd in the girl's tone, Esnie thought her little sister believed her.

She breathed a small sigh of relief, but looking at the girl in front of her, she inexplicably felt her face grow hot.

"Would you like an apple, Sis?"

Seemingly noticing that her sister had fallen silent, Celine held out the apple beside her and blinked, taking the initiative to ease her sister's embarrassment:

"It's really no big deal. Mr. Jonas is a pretty nice person. Even if there really was something between you two, I wouldn't mind."

-I've never met anyone more rotten than him.

Esnie took the apple with some irritation and said:

"If I say there's nothing, there's nothing. Why would I need to lie to you?"

As she spoke, she quickly peeled the apple and handed it back to her little sister.

Celine blinked and took the apple, no longer dwelling on the matter as she said:

"Thanks, Sis."

"All right, I'll be leaving soon. Stop filling your head with all this nonsense."

Esnie's tone softened considerably, and she couldn't help adding a few reminders:

"I'll come see you when I have time. Take care of yourself until then."

"Mm-hmm."

The hospital room door opened. Miss Celine, lying in bed, saw Jonas standing in the doorway, glanced at her sister, whose back was turned to her, and gave him a furtive wink.

Then, rather boldly, she pulled out the dirty book tucked beneath her and crossed her index fingers, making the sign for ten at Jonas.

Her meaning was obvious.

-I want ten new porn games.

Jonas ignored her outright, which made her bristle with anger. But with her sister still in the room, she didn't dare make any obvious moves for fear of drawing her attention.

Jonas looked at Esnie and asked with a smile:

"Ready to go?"

"Yes."

Hearing Jonas's words, Esnie felt a little strange. She glanced back at her little sister, catching the girl off guard with the sudden turn. Fortunately, Esnie noticed nothing and merely said:

"I'm leaving now, Celine."

Celine Nora looked perfectly demure. At those words, she nodded slightly and said in a soft, gentle voice:

"Have a safe trip, Sis."

She paused, then looked at Jonas as well:

"And Mr. Jonas, thank you so much for looking after me all this time. Safe travels."

Esnie still seemed reluctant to leave. She was just about to say something when the man beside her spoke:

"Thank you for the kind wishes, Miss Celine."

With that, the hospital room door slowly closed.

Though reluctant, Esnie said nothing. She merely looked at Jonas and opened her mouth, but couldn't bring herself to ask.

As though he hadn't noticed her intentions, Jonas turned to Esnie and asked:

"Is there anything else you'd like to do, Miss Esnie?"

At that, Esnie shook her head and said:

"Thank you for today, Mr. Jonas."

Another long silence followed.

Before they knew it, they had reached the hospital entrance. Looking at the car parked outside, Jonas suddenly spoke:

"Let me take you out for a bit, Miss Esnie."

Esnie hesitated at his words, but eventually nodded and said:

"All right."

The black car traveled along the roadway.

Esnie felt uneasy. She knew where he was taking her, and she couldn't help growing nervous.

There was also a trace of excitement that even she hadn't noticed.

Of course, Miss Esnie was still mainly nervous and conflicted.

If not for what her little sister had said, Miss Esnie wouldn't have been so conflicted now.

Instead, Miss Esnie began to resent her little sister a little.

That brat was always imagining things and spouting nonsense. Now she's got me imagining things too.

Esnie took a deep breath and steadied herself a little, unable to help reassuring herself inwardly.

It might not be what I think. With Jonas's status, what kind of woman couldn't he find?

I don't even know how to dress up, or how to please anyone...

Just as Esnie was slipping into wild speculation because the two of them were alone, Jonas suddenly spoke:

"Do you know why I had you sign that agreement back then, Miss Esnie?"

The moment he said that, the atmosphere in the car froze.

Esnie's heart jolted. It took her quite a while before she stammered out a question:

"W-why?"

"Very often, the most stable relationship between people is one based on using each other."

Without answering directly, Jonas spoke slowly and calmly:

"But I don't intend to stop at that kind of relationship..."

Esnie's heart began to pound.

As though making a confession, Jonas turned his head and looked at her.

"Suspicion would severely limit what I want. That's also why I brought you here."

"If you still don't understand my intentions... I can tell you very clearly now."

He paused, then continued without the slightest hesitation:

"I want all of you, Esnie."
