Although he was not the patriarch of the Russell family, as the youngest child, he was still Margaret's
favorite son.He was not as sharp as the rest and easy to break.He most likely knew the secrets of the
family as well.
In the bathroom, Ralph was lost as to what she was thinking.
The only thing running through his head was how difficult this woman was to get along with.
She was the most difficult woman he had ever met.
After washing his face with cold water, he looked in the mirror to see that his lips were clearly swollen.
Although the pain was slowly subsiding to the point of numbness, his lips looked like they had been
plumped.
The two clear teeth marks explained his swollen lips without needing to say a word.
Ralph rubbed the corner of his lips with his thumb, deciding he should no longer be so passive! Turning
off the faucet, he strode out and saw Heather standing by the door.

Heather heard the movement and turned her head in the direction of the sound, only to see him already
right in front of her.
Then, he put one hand on her hand, pinning her against the door frame.
‘What is he trying to-' Bang! She narrowed her eyes at him.
Her initial reaction was to kick him away, but after a pause, she sneered.
"What's wrong? Didn't you suffer enough? Are you back for more?"
"What are you trying to do?"
Ralph looked at her and asked out of the blue.
Although Heather was startled by his question, she maintained a calm expression and replied
unhurriedly.
"Shouldn't I ask you that question, Mr.Russell?"

His face was solemn, with no hint of joking around.
Although he had her pinned against the door, the words from his mouth sounded dignified.
Even a woman as experienced as Heather was stunned, freezing in place.
"What?"
"I said, let's break off the engagement," he repeated, enunciating every word.
It was as if he wanted to make sure she heard him and knew how serious he was.
Heather felt anger bubbling in her heart and snapped, "Are you serious right now?!"

Although this was just an exchange between the two, and she had only planned to use him as her
henchman, she still wanted to be in the dominant position of the relationship.She wanted to be the
decision-maker, not him! "Is this because I bit you just now?"
She looked at the teeth marks on his lips, and for some reason, all she could think of was the strange
feeling she felt when they kissed.
His lips were hot, giving her a strange feeling she had never experienced before.
"No, I'm doing this because of you."
Ralph continued, looking into her eyes.
Maybe it was because he had always played the fool and had constantly been trying to win her over
that she was not used to this serious side of him.
"For me?" She repeated, not understanding what he meant.
Unknowingly, her slightly bent knees straightened, and she looked at him. puzzled.
