Chapter 311 Cozy Up with Me Instead
Rodney’s message couldn’t have been more straightforward.
Lucy frowned, gently pushed his arm off her, and was about to speak up, but when she locked eyes with Lennon at the other end of the couch, her refusal remained unsaid.
She took a deep breath and said. “Yeah, it’s okay; Rodney and I can make do for one. night.”
Anyway, Lucy figured either Rodney or her could take the bed, the other the floor. She was confident Rodney wouldn’t dare try anything; even if he did, she could handle it.
Cherise hesitated and then suggested, “You know, you could let Jacob and Lennon share a room, and you can bunk with Mandy. There’s no need…”
Lucy replied firmly, “Because he’s my boyfriend,” avoiding Lennon’s gaze and flashing a sweet smile at Rodney.
Rodney chimed in smugly, “Exactly!”
He playfully pulled Lucy along and gestured toward a room. “Is this our room?”
His hand was on the doorknob, but a figure darted past before he could open it.
Lennon grabbed Lucy’s arm, asking, “Are you in such a hurry to sleep with him?”
Lucy sneered, locking eyes with Lennon. “What has it got to do with you?”
Rodney wasn’t happy either. He shoved Lennon aside, “Dude, do you have a problem?”
“Let me get this straight. You came by the river, knocked over my girlfriend’s drink, and now you’re saying we can’t be in the same room together.”
“Are you suggesting that if she can’t stay with me, she should shack up with you!?”
Rodney gave a stronger shove, but Lennon held his ground.
A sinister grin crept onto Lennon’s face as he locked eyes with Lucy. “In that case, you come and sleep with me instead!”
Lennon pulled Lucy along, his tone firm as he said, “Come on!”
Lucy struggled to break free from his grip, but her efforts were in vain. “Let go of me!”
“Not happening!” Lennon was resolute. “If you’re so eager to cozy up with a guy, then
1/3
up with me instead!”
The entire villa fell into a profound silence.
Cherise, Mandy, and Jacob stood in shock, mouths hanging open. Rodney was thoroughly bewildered.
Lucy furrowed her brow and forcefully pushed his hand away. “Have you lost your mind?”
“I’m only in a normal relationship, and somehow that makes me a lowlife, huh? You turned down my feelings for you, and now I’m..”
Her words trailed off as she looked at Lennon, grinding his teeth, his eyes blazing with intensity.
Lucy stared at him, her eyes moist with despair and sadness. “I’m so over this! I really don’t know what you want anymore!”
“I’ve had plenty of guys try to win me over. I never paid them any mind.”
“But I like you. I confessed my feelings, wanting to be with you…”
She sniffled but ultimately didn’t bring up the kidney issue.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she ground her teeth. “You trampled my feelings for you, and it opened my eyes to appreciate what’s right here.”
She threw a glance at Rodney in the distance. “Now that I’ve moved on from you and cherished the one who genuinely cares for me. I’ve taken this relationship seriously, thinking maybe Rodney, like me, is a bit of a love fool… Just because you couldn’t reciprocate my feelings doesn’t mean I can’t give him what he wants, right?”
“But… Why can’t you just leave me alone? On what grounds…”
“But why… How come you always ruin my plans?”
During her initial date with Rodney, Lennon went as far as hanging up Rodney’s call, cornered her against the wall, and made sure she wouldn’t meet Rodney. He even warned. her not to act rashly and later regretted it. Who did he think he was?!
On her second date with Rodney, they visited a bar to meet Rodney’s friends. Lennon threw punches at Rodney and his friends and forcibly took her away.
On their third date, Rodney whisked her away to the remote countryside far from Lennon to prevent potential disruptions.
2/3
Lucy had high hopes that this time, everything would go according to plan.
