Chapter 160
They locked eyes with one another.
Then Janet put one hand on Westin’s shoulder and leaned in.
She stole a quick peck on Westin’s lips and then backed away again.
“There,” she grinned.
Astonishment flickered across Westin’s eyes.
He grabbed her wrist and chuckled, “You are cheating.”
“Yes.” she blinked at him playfully. “And I cheat at pokers as well. Do you still want to play with me?”
“Always. Do you want to start now?”
Janet wanted to spend more time with this guy as well.
She was still very curious about his identity and wondered if she could get him to say
the truth somehow.
“Hold on a second,” she said. “I am going to take a quick shower. When I come out, you are teaching
me how to play.”
“Sure thing.”
He sat behind the table and took a deck of poker out of his pocket, “Take your time. We got all night.”
Janet stepped into the shower and pulled her shirt off. She stayed in Daran’s room last night and didn’t
get to shower. Her body was sweaty.
A refreshing cold shower was all she needed right now.
She turned on the water tap.
It made a weird, squeaky noise and then suddenly started spraying in all directions.
“Ah!” she gasped.
The water tan was broken!
Westin heard the noise from the outside and he immediately raised his voice and asked, “Is something
wrong?”
Janet tried to turn off the water, but it wouldn’t work. She pressed her hand on the nozzle yet still
couldn’t stop the water from shooting out.
She has drenched all head to toe.
“Janet!” Westin called out to her again, his voice coming close to the bathroom door again.
“What is the matter? Everything OK?”
“No…” Janet wiped some water off her face and said, “The water tap is broken! I can’t get it to shut
down!”
“Let me come in and take a look!!
“O–OK. Hold on!”
She ran to the towel rack and pulled off a bath towel and used it to wrap around her naked body.
“Come on in!” she cried to the outside after that was done.
Westin dashed in.
He took one quick look at the spraying water tap and rushed to the sink. He turned the shut–off valve
under the sink and successfully shut off the water supply.
The tap stopped spraying at once.
“OK, so there is a shut–off valve.” Janet nodded, “I didn’t know that.”
“Yeah, always shut the water supply first before fixing a water tap.” Westin said in a joking sort of way,
“I bet that you have not fixed anything in your house, not even changing a light bulb.”
Janet was slightly embarrassed. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
She did a l
of mailing work in Riverside Pack, but she never fixed anything. They have staff for that kind of work.
Westin rolled up his sleeve and bent down to check the tap, “I think I need to remove
the handle and take a look at the internal parts. Some of those parts might be damaged or worn.”
He looked professional.
Janet came to sit on the bathtub and looked at him as he worked, “You know this kind of stuff. Do you
have a part–time job as a maintenance guy?”
Westin screwed off the handle, “No. But all men know this kind of stuff.”
Not all men.
Janet said internally.
She bet that Daran didn’t.
Daran was born as a golden prince, surrounded by countless maids and servants. He didn’t even need
to change his own clothes.
And that made Westin seem even more mysterious.
He possessed the same land of noble quality as Daran did, but he was also very wordy and down to
the earth at the same time.

Janel was now even more curious about this guy’s background.
“Plus, I am the eldest son.” Westin continued, “I guess the eldest son always takes up more
responsibility”
This was the first time that he ever told her about his background.
Janel was intrigued, “You have siblings?”
“Yeah. One brother and one sister.”
She wanted him to say more about himself. But he stopped right there.
“Looks like one part was worn out.” he said. “I might need to change the part to fix
the tap. I will run down to the hardware store later. So right now, do you want to take the shower in my
room instead ”
He turned around to Janet while saying that and caught Janet staring at him, unblinkingly.
After a small pause, his lips lifted into a playful smile, “What are you looking at, Janet?”
“You, apparently,” Janet replied in a light voice.
“Do you suddenly find me attractive now?” Westin chuckled, “If I knew that you a have thing for repair
guys, I would get down on my knees and fix that damn tap as soon as I met you.”
“I always find you attractive.” Janet raised an eyebrow and pushed a lock of damp hair out of his
forehead. “And I also find you…very hard to read.”
“Well, I am like a book sitting on your lap–all you need to do is turn the cover,” he said in a husky voice.
Janet moved her hand to his shoulder and gave him an abrupt nudge.
Westin was caught off guard.
He tripped backward and slid into the bathtub.
Janet moved into the bathtub as well. She spread her legs and sat on his lap.
Westin’s breathing became heavy Instantly.
His eyes darkened.
“…If you are not going to kiss me right now, I am going to get seriously offended,” he said hoarsely.
Janet caught his throat with one hand and pressed his head against the wall.
“Who are you, really?” she asked forcefully.
His lips curved up, “Westin.”
“Liel”
Janet leaned in, tightening her grip on his throat.
They were only an inch apart from each other.
Janet could smell his enticing scent. She bet Westin could smell hers as well.
His muscles flexed under her palm as though he was working hard to contain his inner beast.
She knew the influence she had on him.
And she was using that to get him to talk.
Janet’s heart skipped a beat.
So he knew about the alliance!
“You are an Alpha!” she pursued eagerly, “Which pack?”
She was almost 99 percent sure that he was an Alpha.
Yet to her surprise, he laughed, “Wrong, babe.”
Janet narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
But she could tell that he was not lying this time.
He denied himself as an Alpha. He didn’t look like a common soldier. And he was not a rogue.
Who the fuck was he!
Janet was getting more and more frustrated.
The smile on Westin’s lips grew wider as he moved his hand to the back of Janet’s neck.
“If you kiss me…” he tempted, “I will give you a small hint.”
Janet looked down at him.
This was a power fight.
She didn’t want to give in just yet.
Right at this very moment, she heard the sound of the door opening up, followed by Wendy’s voice:
“…Master, this is Janet’s room.”
Janet’s body strained instantly.
She wanted to climb out of the bathtub at once, but it was too late.
Heavy and hurried footsteps came straight to the bathroom.
A tall figure came dashing in.
Daran froze by the bathroom door.
