Chapter 50
Lance glanced at Shawn before slowly letting go of Tara When he had grabbed her earlier, he had a strong urge to keep her in his grasp and mess with her.
“Hello, Mr. Wilhelm.” After Tata greeted Shawn, she didn’t dare to look at Lance again. Instead, she just hurriedly made her way back to her room. Lance clenched his right hand, which he had used to grab her wrist earlier. He couldn’t suppress the numbing feeling that was spreading across his body. Meanwhile, Shawn still hadn’t realized that Lance had already set his eyes on Tara and asked, “Why are you upset with her?”
Lance looked away to hide the emotions behind his eyes. Then, he casually answered, “It’s nothing.”
!
Seeing how Lance wasn’t going to talk about it, Shawn decided to stop prying and said, “I’ve composed something new. Come up and have a listen.” headed upstairs together.
Then,
they
After returning to her room, Tara looked down at her slightly swollen wrist, which had become red because of how hard Lance had been grabbing her. Tara couldn’t help but be in disbelief when she realized that he wasn’t kidding the previous day. Then, she wondered what Lance meant by what he said. After all, she would never believe that he would fall in love with her.
She almost never interacted with him in the past, other than the time in the sunroom. Back then, he was drunk, and she helped Gemma and the others to help him back into his room.
Then, she only took care of him for a short moment, and he was still drunk at that time. When he woke up, he chased her out of his room. After that, they only exchanged pleasantries a few times and never had physical contact again.
When he was drawing, he tried to tuck her hair behind her ears because the wind had messed it up. However, Tara grabbed his hand and pressed it to her chest in her sleep

Suddenly, Tara thought of something and wondered if Lance wanted to make it up to her for accidentally touching her chest in the sunroom. Was that why h suddenly said he wanted to try that with her?
Although it was quite a stretch, it was a more reasonable reason than him being interested in her.
Since it was late at night, Tara went to bed after washing up. She lose she would have a lot of dreams that night again.
The next morning, It started snowing once more, and Lance heard a lock on his door.
“Come in.” The door wasn’t locked, so the person outside opened it and slowly walled into the room..
The snow was falling gently outside the floor–to–ceiling windows, and Lance was reading his book on the couch. He was wearing his black silk pajamas.
Stella enjoyed what she saw as she placed a glass of warm milk on his coffee table. “Mr. Swain, here’s the warm milk you’ve requested.”
“Leave it,” he said without even looking up. However, Stella stood there for a long time until he finally looked up at her. “Is there anything else?”
She pretended to be aggrieved and hesitant to speak her mind. “Mr. Swain, if you have any requests in the future, feel free to let me know. Tara She’s not too happy relaying the messages to me ”
Stella wanted Lance to be mad at Tara, even if he didn’t express it. When he heard what she said, he closed his book and said calmly, “Tell her to see me.
Seeing that she had achieved her target, Stella immediately said, “I’ll go get her now.”
Soon, Tata entered the room nervously with sweaty hands. Right when she arrived, Stella walked past her with a gloating gaze.
At that moment, Tara’s mind was in a mess. She stood in the middle of the room and looked at Lance, who was still on the couch. Then, the door to the room was closed.
