Chapter <b>117 </b>


    N went back to the restroom and sshed cold water on her face.


    Looking at her red eyes in the mirror, she couldn’t help but smile bittery.


    Damon must be disgusted with her now. He would probably be as cold toward her as he was before Maybe that was for the best–they shouldn’t have any connection at all


    After calming down and letting her eyes return to normal, she left the restroom.


    When N returned to the table, rk’s gaze immediately fell on her swollen lips


    “N, what happened to your mouth?” rk’s expression was dark, and his tone was icy.


    N lookedpletely out of ce, as though she had just indulged in pleasure. With Demon in the restaurant, rk couldn’t help but be suspicious.


    N maintained herposure. “I noticed my lipstick was smudged when I looked in the minor, so I cleaned it off. I must have been too rough, which is why my lips are swollen


    “Really?” rk’s eyes were fixed on her, his gaze filled with doubt.


    N frowned, her expression growing cold as well. “What’s with the interrogation? If you don’t believe me, that’s one thing, but don’t act like you’re questioning a criminal


    Seeing that N remained unflustered and even defiant, rk pushed aside his suspicions. “N, I’m sorry. I was just concerned, and that made me sound aggressive.”


    N gave a coldugh. “That’s not ‘concern but an interrogation.”


    With that, she grabbed her bag and turned to leave.


    As she reached the restaurant’s entrance, rk ran after her. “N, I’m sorry. I was out of line. Please forgive me this time.”


    N remained silent and cold, but she stopped walking

    N looked down<b>, </b>filled with scorn. Wasn’t rk the same when he lost his temper?


    “I’ll keep my distance from him, but if you keep using me without cause, <i>I </i>won’t tolerate it,” she asserted.


    Seeing her soften a bit, rk finally rxed and quickly promised, “I won’t do it again.”


    Since N had just agreed to move back, he didn’t want anything to ruin their rtionship.


    As they were talking, a group of people in suits walked out of the restaurant. Leading them was Damon, his face dark and radiating a dangerous aura.


    rk frowned and wanted to move in front of <b>N</b>, but Damon didn’t even nce at them. He got into his car and left.


    rk furrowed his brow, feeling that something was off about Damon’s mood He brushed off assuming it was just a business deal gone wrong


    “N, let me take you home.”


    “Mm.” N’s expression was indifferent, but her hands glenched at her sides


    After dropping N off downstairs, rk looked reluctant. Wyle, I really don’t want to let you go Wify don’t you move back in tonight? I’ll have the maide over tomorrow to pack up your things


    Seeing his eagerness, N frowned. “No. I don’t like others handling my things”


    rk knew her well enough to ept her decision. “Alright then.”


    “By the way, even though I agreed to move back, I want us to sleep in separate rooms. When you’ve resolved things with your mistress, I’ll consider moving back into the bedroom. Until then, you can’t be intimate with me without my permission,” N dem
