Edwin had a way of bringing up the past to tease her.

Despite this, she found it hard to stay upset with him.

Her awkward reaction only amused Edwin more. He continued to tease her in a low voice. Laura, growing slightly irritated, responded, "You just last two minutes at that time! Do you see me bring that up all the time?"

Edwin was momentarily caught off guard.

After a brief pause, he grumbled, "It's common for men to be brief during their first time."

Laura's face turned even redder as she retorted, "I wouldn't know! I haven't been with anyone else. Maybe you're just making this up!"

Edwin let out a chuckle, playfully biting her lip.

"Keep talking like that, and tonight, you'll wish you never said these things.”

"Scoundrel!" Laura exclaimed, turning her face away, feeling uneasy.

Edwin started the car and soon brought up another matter.

“By the way, now that we're together, you should keep your distance from Dylan. You're not available anymore."

Laura didn't need reminding; her relationship with Dylan had naturally cooled.

Still, she felt a pang of guilt. Dylan had never pressured her, but she felt she had let him down.

When she had chosen Edwin, Dylan had asked her, “Is he worth turning back for?"

In Czanch, under the snowy sky, Edwin's kiss had left her conflicted.

She wanted Edwin, and he wanted her.

Laura seldom spoke of Dylan. Although she was with Edwin, Dylan still held a place in her heart, almost like family.

Edwin, despite being jealous, believed even in a marriage, one should have their own space.

He simply held her hand, wishing Dylan would return to his own continent.

Half an hour later, their black Rolls Royce pulled into the villa.
