Chapter 167 The Hickey on His Adam's Apple
Juniper looked at the men's briefs and thought she had encountered a pervert.
Yesterday at noon, she ordered takeout and received a pair of disposable gloves.
Juniper put on one disposable glove, pinched the men's briefs, and disdainfully threw it into the trash.
After disposing of it, she washed her hands for a long time.
Juniper didn't even dare to eat the breakfast brought by Trenton.
Trenton seemed a normal and decent guy. Did he hide something, or did she misunderstand something?
If it was a misunderstanding, then what was the deal with these mysterious men's briefs?
In the morning at ten o'clock, Juniper was pulled into courtyard number one by the other female guests.
There were a total of six guests on the show, three male and three female guests.
Everyone was busy preparing lunch.
Juniper was in charge of cooking the steaks.
Trenton handed her an apron, but Juniper's hands were dirty from handling the steaks, so she couldn't tie it herself.
"Put it here, I'll put it on later," she said.
Trenton kindly offered, "Let me help you, so you don't get your white T-shirt dirty later. Bloodstains are hard to wash off."
Yesterday, Trenton chose the second female guest, Lucy Butler.
However, after last night, Trenton's attitude turned completely, drawing curious glances from the other guests.
Lucy asked, "Is Beaumont feeling better after the fever yesterday? Why don't you leave the cooking to us and go to have a rest?"
Juniper welcomed the idea but didn't want to sit around waiting to eat, "It's okay, I'll just cook the steaks. How would you like your steaks cooked?"
Trenton glanced at Juniper's complexion and said, "You still don't look good. How about going to rest now, and I'll help you make the steaks."
Trenton was about to support Juniper's arm to let her rest.
A tall male figure suddenly walked in.
Everyone's attention immediately shifted to him.
The third male guest asked, "Who are you?"
The first female guest's eyes lit up as she reacted first, "You must be the observer! The production team mentioned yesterday that an observer would come to the Love House today!"
The others then realized.
The first male guest asked, "Hello, what's your name?"
"Magnus."
Magnus exuded a cold and powerful aura, with an elite demeanor and a strong presence of authority.
He was nothing like the observers in other dating shows.
The first male guest had a hunch that this observer was not ordinary and quickly greeted him politely, "Hello."
The others followed suit, "Hello, Magnus!"
Only Juniper stood frozen in place.
It wasn't until Magnus walked straight to Juniper's side, took the apron from Trenton's hand, shook it out, and skillfully tied it for Juniper.
Trenton looked at his empty hands in astonishment.
Juniper was simply stunned.
How could Magnus be here on the island?
And as an observer?
Magnus had already taken off his platinum cufflinks and placed them on the table. He rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing his slim yet muscular arms, and looked down at Juniper, asking, "What can I do?"
Juniper was taken aback.
She subconsciously looked at him, as if using her eyes to convey to Magnus ,' There are cameras here!The whole process is being filmed and will be broadcast.'
But Magnus seemed unconcerned, more audacious than anyone else.
He casually took the stainless steel steak tongs from Juniper's hand, "Go rest, I'll cook."
Juniper had weak lungs and would cough from the smell of oil fumes.
The kitchen was an open-plan one, and the range hood wasn't above the island counter.
As soon as the steak hit the pan, sizzling sounds filled the air.
The oil fumes rose up suddenly, and Juniper couldn't help but cough several times.
Magnus frowned and pushed Juniper away.
But with nothing to do in the room, Juniper felt even more awkward and wanted to do something to cover up her embarrassment.
Magnus's close actions would have been crossing the line if it were their first meeting.
But Juniper didn't seem uncomfortable.
The other guests were all dumbfounded by the new observer's behavior.
When this observer entered the Love House, he didn't seem like an outsider but rather another guest.
Trenton was the first to speak, "Magnus, do you know Beaumont?"
As Magnus cooked the steak, he casually replied, "Yes, we're old friends."
Very familiar.
So familiar that he knew about the faint blue birthmark on Juniper's back and the light brown mole on her chest.
Juniper looked at Magnus.
He seemed calm and composed!
Could they film this?
Would this part be edited out later?
However, for now, Juniper was feeling guilty.
The other guests simply assumed that the observer and Juniper were old friends and didn't think much of it.
Juniper slowly moved closer and asked him softly, "How did you come here?"
Magnus glanced at Juniper emotionlessly, "You can come, why can't I?"
But she was here to make money.
Wouldn't it be beneath Magnus to appear on a show like this?
If it were revealed that he was the CEO of the SY Group, it would be quite a shock.
Which CEO would participate in a reality show, especially a dating show.
The steak was quickly cooked.
Juniper's portion was well done, and Magnus served it to her, "Take it over."
As Juniper looked up, she noticed a hickey on Magnus's Adam's apple. It wasn't too big. But against his pale skin, the red mark was striking!
Had Magnus and his new girlfriend reached this stage already?
Although Juniper knew about his new relationship before coming to S City, seeing the hickey on his neck made her feel uneasy.
Rationally, Juniper could accept that Magnus had moved on, but emotionally, it was hard to fully accept and let go.
After all, since their love lasted for so many years, it was human nature not to let go immediately.
In this world, there was a kind of love that was most bitter.That is the feeling of having no right to be jealous.
Lunch was plentiful.
The guests were all skilled in cooking.
Magnus's steaks were also well done. However, Juniper didn't eat much, whether due to her illness or her bad mood affecting her appetite.
During the meal, the second female guest suddenly asked, "Did any of you hear knocking last night?"
The first male guest looked around, "Who knocked on whose door?"
The guests looked at each other, their eyes filled with curiosity.
The second male guest, Trenton, admitted openly, "It was me. Yesterday afternoon, Beaumont was feeling unwell after diving, so I went to bring her some medicine."
The first female guest teased, "Ohhh."
The third male guest added, "But wait, did you knock twice? I heard a knock around eleven, and then I fell asleep. Around 4 am, I got up to use the bathroom and heard another knock seemed to be coming from Beaumont's courtyard."
Juniper was taken aback.
Did Trenton really enter her room when she was feeling unwell?
Could that men's briefs really be...
Juniper looked at Trenton, feeling unable to hold back her anxiety, and asked urgently, "Did you enter my room around 4 am?"
If it was indeed Trenton, Juniper planned to quit the show immediately.
Thinking of the men's briefs in the bathroom, Juniper felt very disgusting.
Trenton was also flustered and explained quickly, "It wasn't me. I went to give you medicine around eleven, but I didn't enter your room at 4 am."
Juniper's nerves hadn't settled yet.
Magnus, who was sitting next to Juniper, suddenly spoke up, "It was me."
