Chapter 798: Chapter 795: An Inescapable Kiss

River immediately said, "What’s so inappropriate? It’s not like you haven’t seen my body. What’s there to be shy about?"

"You!" Furious and flustered, Rhys Ryston struggled desperately to break free of his hold, but she couldn’t escape.

"River Sterling, I thought we’d made ourselves perfectly clear about that incident. We were both drunk that day, so let’s just pretend that night never happened. We agreed not to bring it up again, so why are you mentioning it now?"

"I can agree not to bring it up, but you can’t just leave me here all alone. Even if you don’t see me as your savior, we’re still working on this film together. At the very least, we’re partners, right? Could you really have the heart to leave me to fend for myself?" As he spoke, a pitiful look crept onto River Sterling’s face.

"...Don’t you have plenty of women? I could call one of them to come take care of you. I’m sure they’d be more than happy to." Rhys Ryston thought it was a good idea, but when she pictured a crowd of women fighting to take care of him, she felt a strange pang of annoyance. ’Why does that thought bother me so much?’

"Agh... no, my stomach hurts. Quick, help me up, hurry..." River Sterling’s face suddenly contorted in pain. With one hand braced on the sofa, he used her arm to pull himself up.

Rhys Ryston leaned in nervously, about to ask what was wrong. But in the next instant, River Sterling gave a sudden tug, pulling her into his arms and pinning her down onto the sofa.

The sudden movement sent a jolt of pain through his hip, making River Sterling’s body go rigid. But he only hissed in a sharp breath before lowering his head and sealing Rhys Ryston’s lips with his own.

Pinned suddenly to the sofa, Rhys Ryston only had time to let out a gasp before his mouth was on hers.

Her mind went blank. By the time she snapped out of it, she began to struggle instinctively. But the more she fought back, the deeper River Sterling kissed her. For a long moment, it was a battle of strength between them...

But before long, Rhys Ryston’s resistance gradually faded. The hands that had been pushing and striking at him faltered, then drifted up to rest uncertainly on his shoulders...

Gradually, the only sounds in the living room were soft moans, and the air grew thick with a palpable, seductive tension.

...

Meanwhile,

Before putting his plan into action, Seth Quinn took Clara Grant to lunch. After all, even the most beautiful and romantic proposal is best done on a full stomach.

Seth Quinn took her to her favorite Western restaurant. It was in a great location and served delicious food, making it a popular spot that was always busy.

When they arrived, the parking spots in front of the restaurant were already full. Clara Grant glanced around and said, "Why don’t you go find a spot? I’ll get out and wait for you by the entrance."

"Alright." Seth Quinn pulled over to let Clara Grant out, then went to find a spot in a parking lot a little farther away. Clara Grant stood off to one side of the entrance to wait for him.

It was the peak of the lunch rush, and people were constantly coming and going. At first, no one noticed Clara Grant standing there without a stitch of makeup or any sort of disguise.

However, as two young women passed by, one of them casually glanced her way, did a double-take, and stared for a few seconds. Then, she suddenly shouted in excitement, "Clara Grant! Oh my God, it’s Clara Grant, the actress who plays Tina!"

Her friend was even more excited, her voice rising to a shriek. "AHH, it is! It’s really Clara Grant!"
