Chapter 155 Asking for a Kiss
Had the man sent flowers to induce her here to attack her?
Cecelia’s cold eyes were full of murderous intent. But before she could strike the attacker, a black whirlwind blew over.
Then, there were two loud noises. The two b*dyguards were kicked into the air, hit the wall, and pa**ed out. The attack was forceful!
Cecelia looked up at the rock–solid man in front of her, slightly narrowed her eyes, and asked, “Remington? Why are you here?” “You can come here. Why can’t I? If I hadn’t pa**ed by, you would have been killed! You owe me one, right?” Remington leisurely said and went past her to the lavatory.
He must not admit he had secretly kept paying attention to her. He had long noticed two men following her, so he had managed to protect her when they had launched the attack. He wanted her to owe him more and more until she had to remarry him to return the favors.
After he went to the lavatory, Cecelia glanced at the two b*dyguards. on the ground, wondering who had sent them to attack her.
Had Remington directed acted the play of a hero rescuing a beauty by himself?
The man who had sent her the flowers had gone, so she intended to go back to the show. Turning the corner, she accidentally saw a familiar figure in the corridor.
It was Esmee! Why was she here?
Seeing her walk into a lounge, Cecelia quickened her pace and came to the door. The door was ajar, so she could hear the people talking inside.
“Why are you here?”
It was Maggie’s voice! She had also come here today!
“Ms. Taylor, I’m having a hard time! Please help me!” Esmee begged.
“What do you want me to do? Didn’t I give you money and ask your to go abroad? Why did you come back?”
Cecelia was suspicious to hear this. Why had Maggie given Esmee money and asked her to go abroad? Had they known long each other? What was their relationship?
Chapter 155 Asking for a Kiss
“Ms. Taylor, I ran out of money and am owing a gambling debt. ! came back to ask the Nelson family for money, but they refused to give me anything and disowned me. I would not have come to ask you for help if I were not at the end of my rope!”
“I’m not a saint. It useless to beg me!”

Maggie didn’t want to give Esmee one more penny because the latter was a lazy person like a bottomless pit who would never work to support herself.
“How can you be so ruthless? If you hadn’t asked me to harm Nick, I wouldn’t have been accused of raping a man or kicked out of the Nelson family. You must help me!
Cecelia was startled to hear this. Maggie had instigated Esmee to harm Nick. Why? Why had she done such a thing?
Maggie was afraid Esmee would expose the matter, so she compromised and said, “If you want money, you must shut up!”
“I know! I always keep my mouth shut! I’ve never told anyone else about it.”
“Take this check and go abroad! You must not come back without my permission!”
“Okay! Thank you! I will leave as soon as possible!”
Suddenly, Cecelia’s phone rang, and the sound alarmed the people inside.
Maggie ordered, “Go to see who’s out there!”
Seeing the two b*dyguards about to run out, Cecelia instantly decided to flee. But the corridor was so long that she might get caught soon. Suddenly a door opened. And then, a strong arm pulled her into a room. The door closed in time, so the b*dyguards did not see her.
Cecelia was startled. Her heart was beating so violently that she felt it about to jump out of her throat.
The burly b*dy blocked her sight when a cool fragrance permeated her nostrils. Now, she was pushed against the door by a man. They were too close, so she pushed him away. Looking up, she widened her eyes in surprise and asked, “You again?”
“It must be fate that let us meet again.”
“Shut up!”
She didn’t want to hear his nonsense.

“Why are you so fierce? Is it because I saved you that you came here to thank me?”

Remington’s eyes were deep, and his stalwart b*dy enveloped her. When he unblinkingly stared at her face, there was a hint of interest in his obsidian–like eyes.
“You misunderstood! I didn’t come to see you.”
When Cecelia turned to leave, he reached out to press the door, saying, “Don’t deny it! I know you have feelings for me.‘
When he had opened the door just now, he had seen her looking around. So, he believed she had come here to meet him.
Cecelia glanced back at him and said, “You indeed misunderstood. I’m not here to meet you. Get out of my way!”
“If so, can you tell me who you came here to meet?”
Remington wanted to have a good talk with her, but she didn’t want to communicate with him at all.
She wanted to leave, so she could only honestly reply, “I saw Esmee just now! I followed her here and overheard her talking about Nick.” Cecelia had learned about the affair between Nick and Esmee from Remington, so it was OK to tell him the truth.
Remington showed a careless smile on his handsome face and said, “I didn’t expect you to have the habit of eavesdropping.”
His eyes were shining with a cold light as if trying to pierce her and read her mind.
Cecelia glanced at him and said, “It’s none of your business! I’ve told you why came. Can you let me go?”
She had said all she should say, so she intended to go now.
Remington withdrew his arm, not stopping her anymore.
When she was about to open the door, he slowly said from behind, “I know where Nick is. Do you want to see him?”
Her hand on the doorknob abruptly stopped moving. Then, she looked back at him with a frown.
No wonder she couldn’t find Nick. Had Remington found him and helped him settle down?
“I want to see him. Where is he?”

Cecelia wanted to ask Nick some questions. After all, he was her mother’s old acquaintance. Perhaps he knew something she did not know.
“What benefit can I get if I tell you?”
Remington looked cold and proud when the dim light behind him outlined his perfect figure.
“What do you want?”
He was a capitalist, so she knew he would never make a deal at a loss.
Remington bluntly replied, “I want to remarry you!”
Hearing this, Cecelia snorted, “No way! I advise you to give up this unrealistic idea.”
“If you can’t accept this condition, forget it. I’ll tell you as long as you k*ss me!”
What a shameless guy! They had divorced, but he was still teasing her!
Cecelia clenched her fists, thinking she couldn’t tolerate him
anymore. If she did not teach him a good lesson today, he would continue taking liberties with her! At the thought of this, she decided to take action. So, she showed rare tenderness in her pretty eyes, curled a finger at him, and said, “Stretch your face over.”
Remington was delighted to hear this, so he slightly pushed his cheek forward, ready to be k*ssed.
