Chapter 30: Men Cannot Resist Such Temptation
Vivien was still making a commotion, while Shane's face was so red and he couldn't even stand straight.
Meanwhile, Derek gently placed me on the sofa. Shane shot me a glance. It was then that glance reminded me of my purpose for being here.
A strong desire to get revenge flared up in my heart once more. Without hesitation, I wrapped my arms around Derek's neck and kissed him passionately. The second our lips touched it stunned him, and his body visibly stiffened.
At this moment, I no longer knew what kind of reaction Shane had. I just heard how Vivien continuously cursed him.
"What the fuck are you even looking at? Just get the hell out of here!" Derek's friend roared.
Afterwards, the private room fell silent in an instant.
I thought I already had a tacit understanding with Derek that we were just acting. Just like it was in the bar when I played along with his pretense, he now cooperated with me perfectly without a single second of rehearsal in advance.
But when the door closed, he suddenly kissed me back. His kiss was so passionate that I couldn't bring myself to resist. I could feel the fire of his desire through his clothes, and stiff thing at his crotch.
"Derek, no… don't do this!" I tried to push him with all my might.
Finally, he stopped. He was catching his breath, gazing into my eyes with an astute calmness
"What's wrong? Are you scared? Eveline, you're the one who flirted with me first. It's not that men cannot resist such temptation.
Once we begin something that hot, it's not that easy stop."
"I wasn't flirting with you, I just…"
I wondered what I should tell him. I merely wanted to put on a show with him, but I guess that it was a mistake to not tell him about it and not have his permission.
"I see. You just wanted him to see us kissing, is that it?" Derek said indifferently.
Clearly, he had seen through my true purpose. But why did he look upset about it? Was it because I used him? "Look, Derek, I'm sorry. I made a mistake," I muttered.
Derek chuckled at me. He sat upright and lit a cigarette.
"Now you know you made a mistake? Tell me, Eveline, why are you even here?"
I also sat upright, ran my hands randomly along my dress, and lowered my head. It was as was a child who had done something wrong. "I agreed to divorce him tomorrow. But because of his betrayal, I couldn't just let him off so easily. I thought it would be fair if I cuckolded him before we get divorced."
Derek almost choked on the drag of the cigarette he just had. Then, he coughed violently as he looked at me in a new light.
"You're really something, Eveline. How did you think of such a method for revenge?"
I wasn't sure if he was mocking me. Truthfully, I never imagined that he'd be here before I carried out this plan.
I lowered my head, displaying my embarrassment as I whispered, "Even a rabbit will bite an enemy that angers it. Why wouldn't I retaliate? I'm not an idiot."
Derek puffed out a big smoke ring, and then he looked at me through the smoke.
"Then, you shouldn't have been so soft on him at the gambling table that day," he remarked.
"That was different," I countered.
"Oh, yeah? How is it any different than now?" Derek looked into my eyes as he held the cigarette between his fingers.
"I wasn't being soft on him. I just felt bad for his parents," I answered.
The cinder of his cigarette brought forth rising smoke between his fingers. It was then that I saw how serious Derek was at this moment.
"Eveline, such kindness has no place in this world. Once that kindness of yours brings you nothing but pain, you'll soon realize that you're not kindhearted at all; just stupid."
His words contradicted his own actions. If the world had no place for kindness, then why was he treating me so well?
'In that case, why have you been so good to me?"
I could see from Derek's reaction that he did not anticipate what I said. He didn't answer my question, but a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"You know, in his mind, you've already cuckolded him and your goal has been achieved already."
This time, I had no idea what he meant. Perhaps he was referring to how he deliberately acted intimate with me in front of Shane at the bar that day. Naturally, Shane didn't believe that I was innocent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said those words just now.
"By the way, how did you show up here? I don't think it's just a coincidence," I asked.
Derek shook the ashes of his cigarette into the ashtray and chuckled. "The other guy is my friend, and the owner of this bar. He proposed a toast to you in Blue Sky the other day. Eveline, your memory is getting rusty. You forget a lot of things so easily."
Just then, I remembered that I had indeed seen the man in the jacket before. It was the reason I felt that he looked familiar somehow.
Derek picked up his phone and tapped on the screen. Afterwards, music came through the big screen in the private room.
"If you want to do something wild in the eve of your divorce, then do it!"
Having said that, he leaned against the sofa. The two topmost buttons of his shirt had been unbuttoned, revealing his muscular pecs. It was easy to tell that he had a good body.
That night, I sang so much that my voice turned hoarse. When it was midnight, he drove me back to the alley and left right away.
The moment I got home, I received a message from Seagull.
"Eve, I hope you become the person you wish to be. Don't make things difficult for yourself. Don't let your time on this earth be fruitless."
