Ethan stared fixedly at Payton and Juliet for a long time, then smiled and said, "Juliet, you don't need to
ask someone to pretend to be your boyfriend in order to refuse me.”
Rosiley was shocked. He had seen through Juliet's trick.
The smile on Juliet's face froze. She bit her lips. Suddenly, she turned her head and heavily kissed
Payton.
Rosiley's eyes widened instantly. Holy shit! Was Juliet crazy?
She carefully looked at Ethan, only to see his entire face turn gloomy.
Payton, who had already experienced it once, was very calm. He smiled viciously and said, "Dear, you
don't need to be shy."
Juliet frowned slightly, not understanding what he meant.
What happened next completely shocked Rosiley.
She couldn't believe her eyes.
Payton turned his head, raised his hand, and held the back of Juliet's head, directly kissing her red lips.
Juliet's eyes widened as she looked at the handsome face that was so close to her.
She saw him smiling secretly and couldn't help but get irritated.
Why was he smiling? What was so funny?
She was about to push him away, but he quickly got close to her ears, saying in a voice that only they
could hear, "Aren't you going to act? Then make it as real as you can."
Juliet's eyes lit up as a shy smile appeared on her pretty face. She glared at him and said reproachfully,
"We are not alone here. Don't speak like that.”
Her words naturally cause others to be curious about what Payton had said in her ear that made her so
shy.
“Alright, let's talk when we get home.”
Payton gently stroked her beautiful hair, with his eyes filled with affection.
If she hadn't known that they were just pretending to be lovers, Rosiley would have been deceived by
Payton's affection and doting expression.
Why was Payton's acting so good? It was a pity for him that he didn't choose to be an actor.
Rosiley felt extremely surprise inside.
But in Ethan's eyes, it was true.
Seeing Juliet and Payton interact intimately, he felt completely disappointed.
He felt as if his heart were being fiercely gripped by a hand, and it was so painful.
He moved his mouth, trying to say something, but found that his throat was so dry that he could not
make a single sound.
Rosiley tilted her head and saw that his eyes were revealing a hint of sorrow.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and pretended to be angry, scolding, "Alright, I know that you two are
affectionate, but please don't forget that you are in public now."
"Who cares about us? We like this.” Juliet made a face at her, then obediently sat beside Payton.
Payton stroked her head again, and his movements were very gentle.
Juliet tilted her head and smiled sweetly at him. She looked totally like a woman in love.
Rosiley smiled helplessly and turned to Ethan, “Mr. Brown...”
"Just call me Ethan.” Ethan interrupted her, with a faint smile on his face.
"Alright, Ethan,’ Rosiley said, "I know that you are having a blind date with Juliet today, but now you
have seen that Juliet already has a boyfriend.”
Ethan pursed his lips tightly and didn't say anything.
Rosiley hurriedly gave Juliet a look and let her solve it by herself.
"Ethan, I don't know what my parents have told you, but it's impossible for me to be with you. It was
impossible a few years ago, let alone now. So, you go back and tell my parents this,” Juliet said.
Hearing this, Ethan self-mockingly curled his lips, saying, "Juliet, you're still blaming me, aren't you?"
"Blaming you?" Juliet raised her eyebrows in surprise. Then, she laughed and said, "Why should I
blame you? For me, you are just a stranger.”
A trace of sadness showed on Ethan's handsome face. He smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that I'm
just a stranger."
Seeing Ethan's gloomy expression, Rosiley couldn't help but feel a little pity for him.
She sighed softly. From their conversations, they should have known each other for a long time, but
judging from Juliet's attitude, it must be that something had happened between them.
Juliet looked coldly at Ethan. Today, when she walked into the room and saw that it was him, she
wanted to turn around and leave. When she thought of the past, she felt that it was difficult for her to
calm down and move on.
Thus, she stayed and called Rosiley for help because she knew that Rosiley would bring Payton here.
As expected, she was right.
When she saw Ethan's painful and disappointed expression, she inexplicably felt a trace of pleasure.
Since her goal had been achieved, there was no need to stay any longer.
Juliet stood up and turned to Rosiley, saying, "Rosiley, let's go.”
"But..." Rosiley looked at Ethan and felt that it was a bit impolite to leave just like that.
"Don't worry about him," Juliet said nonchalantly.
Payton also stood up. Looking at the man sitting opposite him, he said, "Ethan..."
Hearing this, Ethan looked up at him.
They looked at each other, with their eyes filled with scrutiny and inquiry.
"Nice to meet you.” Payton smiled.
Ethan probably didn't expect him to suddenly say this. He was stunned for a moment, but he quickly
regained his senses. He smiled politely and said, "Nice to meet you, too.”
"lL look forward to our next meeting.” After saying this, Payton was pulled out by Juliet.
Seeing this, Rosiley smiled apologetically at Ethan and followed them out.
After leaving the Orchid Garden, they went to a coffee shop and sat down to chat.
This street was full of people and lively in weekends.
Rosiley withdrew her gaze from outside of the window and looked at Juliet. She frowned slightly and
asked, "Juliet, weren't you too much today?"
"Really?" Juliet disagreed and said, "I don't think so.”
“What do you think, Payton?" She turned to Payton and asked him for his opinion.
Payton nodded noncommittally and said, "Yes. After all, I've done the same thing before.”
Rosiley curled her lips and said, “What you did was different in nature. You and the one you had a blind
date with didn't know each other at all, so it was fine. But Juliet and Ethan know each other.’
"How do you know that we know each other?" Juliet stared at her in surprise.
