Chapter 749 Women Always Say One Thing and Mean Another
Seb smiled and gently took Susan's hand, asking softly, "Still not willing to forgive me?"
"Nope," Susan replied, pulling her hand back.
"I..." Seb was about to say something.
At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Seb stood up with a smile and said, "It must be Leon."
He turned to open the door.
As the door opened, Isabella's voice came through.
"Did I wake you? I thought you were still sleeping," Isabella said as she walked in.
Seb pointed to the laptop and documents on the desk. "I've been working for three hours already."
Isabella smiled and then turned to walk into the bedroom.
At this moment, Susan stood up.
Isabella took Susan's hand, glanced at the messy bed sheets, and smirked, saying, "Looks like things got a little heated in here."
"Bullshit! He slept outside, and I slept inside," Susan explained, but her face blushed.
Thinking about the earlier scene, Susan felt a bit guilty.
"I did the same. I locked the bedroom door, and Leon couldn't get in. That's what he gets for losing his temper with me!" Isabella said, raising her chin.
"You should lock him out for the entire holiday," Susan teased, a mischievous glint in her eye.
Hearing this, Isabella curled her lips. "It's not that serious."
At this moment, Leon's voice came from the living room.
"I've got the tent and barbecue ready. Can we head out now?"
Hearing this, Susan and Isabella exchanged a glance and then walked out of the bedroom one after the other.
"Are we really going camping and barbecuing?" Isabella asked Leon excitedly.
"Yes," Leon glanced at Isabella, not very warmly, clearly still upset with her.
Seeing this, Isabella rolled her eyes at Leon. "Such a petty man."
Seeing the two of them like this, Susan lowered her head and smiled.
"Mr. Anderson, these are the clothes I bought for you," Leon said, placing several shopping bags on the couch.
"Okay," Seb nodded.
At this moment, Susan inadvertently looked up and suddenly noticed a red stain on Seb's shirt.
Seeing the red mark on his chest, Susan couldn't help but touch her own lips.
The color was exactly the same as her lipstick. Thinking back, it must have accidentally gotten on his shirt earlier.
This was really embarrassing. If he went out wearing this shirt, it would definitely be a joke.
And now Leon and Isabella hadn't noticed yet. She had to make him change his clothes before they left.
At this moment, Seb looked at everyone and asked, "Are we ready to go?"
"Yes," Isabella was the first to answer, eager for camping and barbecuing.
"Everything is ready," Leon nodded.
At this moment, Susan quickly raised her hand and said, "I haven't changed my clothes yet."
"Then we'll wait for you in the lobby downstairs," Leon said.
"Okay," Susan nodded.
"I'll wait for you downstairs too," Seb said, grabbing his suit and about to leave.
"Wait..." Susan quickly called out to Seb.
"What's wrong?" Seb turned to look at Susan.
At this moment, Leon and Isabella also turned to look at her.
Susan frowned, not knowing what excuse to use to keep Seb.
Seeing Susan's hesitant look, Seb frowned.
"I think Susan has something private to say to Mr. Anderson," Isabella suddenly said with a smile.
The atmosphere was instantly enlivened by Isabella, and a smile naturally curved on Seb's lips.
Susan's face instantly blushed, and she lowered her head slightly.
Seeing this, Leon quickly pulled Isabella and said, "Let's wait downstairs."
"I can walk by myself. Why are you pulling me?" Isabella shook off Leon's hand and walked out.
"If you weren't here bothering them, would I have pulled you away?" Leon glared at Isabella.
Isabella didn't back down. "So what if I was annoying them?"
The door was ajar, and Susan heard Leon and Isabella's argument fading away.
At this moment, Seb closed the door and walked step by step towards Susan.
Susan felt that his smiling gaze was particularly creepy. She turned and said, "I'm going to change my clothes."
But before she could take a step, a strong arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her back to his side.
"What do you want to say to me?" Seb looked down at Susan, who was almost in his arms, his eyes full of affection.
"You need to change your clothes too," Susan frowned.
"My clothes are fine. I don't plan to change. Besides, we're going to barbecue later, and it'll definitely smell," Seb said.
"For the sake of appearance, you should change," Susan said, trying to break free from his arm.
But Seb wouldn't let go. "No, you have to tell me why you want me to change clothes. Is changing clothes just an excuse? Do you actually not want me to leave you, right?"
How could someone be so narcissistic? Susan was really speechless.
The next moment, Susan shook her head and said, "No!"
Seb's smile deepened. "I know you women like to say one thing and mean another. Look at Isabella; she always seems to be at odds with Leon, but she loves him very much and just wants him to coax her. Unfortunately, Leon can't see that."
Hearing this, Susan looked at him and said with a smile, "I find that you can see other people's problems clearly, but when it comes to yourself, you understand nothing."
After saying that, she broke free from his arm, turned, and went back to the bedroom, locking the door because she needed to change clothes.
Seb looked down and saw a red stain on his chest. Looking closely, it was lipstick. He couldn't help but smile.
A few minutes later, the bedroom door opened.
Susan walked out wearing silver high heels and a chiffon floral long dress.
With off-shoulder, narrow waist, and a large skirt, plus a wide-brimmed sun hat, she looked both ethereal and elegant, stunning everyone at first sight!
Seeing Susan like this, Seb, who was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed, immediately stood up, his eyes fixed on her.
