“So, did you pick up the check?”.

Payton set the cup down on the coffee table and looked in surprise at Juliet, who was sitting across from him. Juliet nodded, “Of course.”

Payton rubbed his nose and said, “I’m just sorry about the million.”

Sorry?

Juliet raised her eyebrows and said, “Payton, why are you so sorry about that million yuan?”

“Since we’ve been handed the money, let’s accept it. It won’t hurt us anyway.” Payton thought that accepting the money was a different matter for leaving Maddox. How could they refuse the free money?

“Payton Lu!” Juliet grabbed the pillow next to her and threw it at her. She said angrily, “Yayoi has her pride!”.

Payton easily caught the pillow and said with a smile, “Well, I was just joking. Calm down.”

Juliet took a deep breath and narrowed her eyes.

“Payton, if one day my father also accepted a million yuan for you to leave me, you wouldn’t compromise, would you?”

“I have my pride too.” Payton sat up straight and looked at her earnestly.

Juliet rolled her eyes angrily and said, “You’d better.”

Payton curved her lips and did not pursue the subject further.

Instead, she said, “I don’t think Wendy will give up that easily. In the next few days, Maddox and Yayoi may not live in peace.”

Juliet bit her lips and thought for a moment before asking, “Can’t your brother help? Didn’t you say that Old Shen would listen to Leo?”

“Yes, my grandfather will listen to my brother. However…” Payton paused. “On this matter alone, he might not listen to Leo.”

“Damn, is he that stubborn?” Juliet couldn’t help but curse.

Payton frowned, “Young lady, the next time I hear you curse, you’re in trouble.”

“So what, you want to hit me?” Juliet completely ignored her warning.

In her opinion, it wouldn’t hurt a girl to curse once in a while. She didn’t understand why he forbade her to curse. It was so old-fashioned.

“No, I won’t hit you.” Payton gave him a strange smile. He got up and sat down next to her.

There was something odd about it.

Juliet unconsciously got up to sit somewhere else. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by his embrace.

She turned to face him. But before she could react, Payton kissed her.

Payton hugged her around the waist with one hand and gently stroked her soft hair with the other.

He said softly, “In the future, I’ll kiss you as soon as you say something rude.”

He sounded smoky sexy in his deep, husky voice. Juliet’s heart trembled and she whispered, “You’re good.”

Payton laughed softly, “Yes, I’m good. Otherwise, how else could I have a girlfriend as exceptional as you?”.

Hearing this, Juliet roughly pushed him away.

Her beautiful big eyes narrowed slightly, “Did you really flatter me? Tell me, have you done something wrong to me?”

Payton was a little taken aback at her question.

“You… What are you thinking?”

Payton was speechless.

The mood was now very good, but it was immediately destroyed by her. Sometimes, he really admired the way she thought.

Juliet also knew she was causing trouble for no reason, but how could a proud woman like her admit it?

She could only ask, “So why are you flattering me now? In the past, you always set me up.”

He used to call her a witch.

Payton felt helpless, but patiently explained, “Please. Were you my girlfriend before? We have nothing to say to each other. It’s normal for me to play a joke on you. But now that you’re my girlfriend, it’s normal for me to flatter you.”

Looking at his sincere face, Juliet felt she was making too much fuss.

She pursed her lips awkwardly, “So that’s how it is. I seem to have misunderstood you.”

“Misunderstanding? A simple explanation?” Payton raised his eyebrows looking at her with a faint smile.

“Or what?”

Did she want her to apologize?

Payton hugged her again and lowered her head to kiss her.

Just as their lips were about to press against each other, a hurried doorbell rang, startling the lovebirds.

“Who is it?” Juliet frowned and looked toward the entrance.

Payton shook his head, “I don’t know either.”

She got up and went to open the door.

The moment the door opened; a woman jumped into her embrace before she could see who it was.

“Payton, I’m back.”

The familiar voice made Payton’s toes curl.

Damn it, how could it be her?

Right, the person who had come was Tracy Patel, who lived across the street from him.

She had taken some fake pictures with her phone.

After showing them to Juliet, she disappeared. Why was she showing up now?

Tracy took a deep breath in her embrace and flashed a smirk.

Indeed, Payton smelled the best.

“What do you want?” Payton pushed her away in a distant, indifferent tone.

Tracy was taken aback by his attitude toward her.

She asked carefully, “Payton, are you angry because I used your phone?”

Payton looked at her coldly.

His thin lips were pressed into a straight line.

Her displeasure was clearly noticeable.

Actually, it was also because she had used his phone without his permission that she had left on her trip without saying a word.

She thought he wouldn’t be so angry after a while, but now it seemed she was wrong.

But now, how could she explain it to him?

Tracy bit her lip and thought for a while.

Then she smiled sweetly, “Payton, I didn’t mean to take the phone away from you. I’m trying to help you see if Juliet trusts you enough.”

“How interesting.” Payton raised her eyebrows, “In that case, do I have to thank you?”

When Tracy saw the sneer in her eyes, the smile on her face instantly became forced.

Finally, she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and bowed.

“I’m sorry, Payton, I shouldn’t have touched your phone, let alone sent that picture to Juliet.”

“Isn’t it too late to apologize now?”

A familiar voice sounded.

Tracy frowned and slowly looked up.

She saw Juliet folding her hands around her chest, looking at her calmly.
