Even Xia You, who never so much as frowned in the face of volcanic eruptions or raging storms, was sweating now.
The slightly angry look in Shelly's eyes made him feel particularly embarrassed.
He also glanced at Courtney.
What happened?
Didn't I specifically tell her not to tell Shelly before I left yesterday?
How did it still get out?
Did Shelly discover something herself?
Still, Xia You was not the sort to deny what he had done. Although he felt somewhat awkward, he had foreseen the day Shelly would discover it after giving in to his impulses. After a night of thought and running through the possibilities, he had already worked out what to say and how to respond.
But just as he was about to speak, Courtney gave him a gentle smile, sat down on the sofa, and hugged one of his arms.
Knowing about something and seeing it were two different things.
Although Shelly could now get along normally with Courtney, aside from the occasional squabble, their improved relationship did not mean she could accept Courtney clinging to the man she liked!
Especially when Courtney gave her a provocative smile after hugging Xia You's arm. It made her blood boil!
She cast Courtney a cold glance.
Shelly had to admit that this was one of the few times she had truly lost her temper with her!
That bitch!
But she also understood that sex was perfectly normal. She was not naive enough to believe Xia You had slept with her because he loved her. It had merely been an emotional release between adults.
And since she could do that with him, Courtney, who also liked him, naturally had the nerve to do the same.
She simply had not expected it to happen right after she had left yesterday!
