Chapter 180 She Did It on Purpose
[Third, your genitalia is too small.]
Magnus' eyes narrowed at the message.
A notification popped up on his phone from Robert.
Robert: [Wanna go out for a drink?]
Magnus: [What?]
It was 4 AM, almost dawn, and Robert was asking to go out for a drink.
Robert's schedule was always off.
Robert: [Aren't you up? I messaged ten people, and you're the only one awake.]
Looking for a drinking buddy in the middle of the night and sending mass texts—that was classic Robert.
Magnus was about to put his phone down when another message came in.
Robert: [Staying up late and not coming out for a drink? Are you playing in bed with Juniper?]
Magnus didn't know how to respond.
He frowned slightly.
Magnus: [Why would a woman let you kiss and hug her but not want to have sex?]
Robert: [Juniper doesn't want to have sex with you?]
Magnus felt helpless.
Robert: [She's doing it on purpose, right? At first, it makes a guy want to conquer her, but after a while, it's just depressing. How long has she been like this?]
Magnus: [I haven't touched her since she came back.]
Robert: [I told you, Juniper's a bad woman. She's always neglecting you. I saw that woman who picked you up at the bar last time; you two seemed to hit it off. Why not switch to someone else? Let Juniper know you're not just for her. If you keep trying to please her, it makes you look cheap.]
Magnus's face darkened.
Magnus: [Is Ophelia willing to have sex with you?]
Robert was stunned and cursed under his breath!
Magnus: [You're pretty cheap too.]
Robert was completely dumbfounded.
Magnus put away his phone and walked to the children's room, where Jenny was lying on Juniper's chest, sleeping soundly.
Magnus gently moved Jenny. As soon as her hands were empty, she instinctively squirmed and tried to hold on again.
Magnus stuffed a stuffed animal into Jenny's arms, and she immediately settled down.
He bent down and picked up Juniper, ready to leave the children's room.
Juniper woke up, her eyes drowsy and confused. "Magnus, are you sleepwalking?"
Magnus looked calm, glanced down at her, and shamelessly said, "Sleepwalking together."
He carried her back to the master bedroom.
After returning from the island and dealing with Sinclair's matter, they had been up all night. Juniper was exhausted, lying on the soft bed, and quickly fell asleep again.
Magnus hugged her from behind.
During the year she was gone, he had severe insomnia, only able to sleep a bit with lithium carbonate and sleeping pills.
It wasn't until Juniper came back, lying in his bed, tightly held in his arms that Magnus' sleep had improved a bit.
But just holding her from behind, with her waist and hips pressing against him, stirred up an inexplicable restlessness.
Magnus tightened his grasp, buried his face in the back of her neck, and sighed softly.
His hand reached for her waist, wanting to do something; but when he touched her slender waist, his heart suddenly ached.
Compared to before, Juniper had lost too much weight.
So much that Magnus didn't dare to hold her tightly, afraid she might break with a little force.
If he just wanted sex, he could force her, but he stubbornly wanted her to be willing. Without her consent, it felt meaningless.
When Magnus hated Juniper before, he had forced her, but it was never pleasant; halfway through, he'd feel a surge of anger.
Juniper had a way of stirring up his emotions.
If she really went back to Southern City, Magnus would seriously consider Aria's suggestion of MECT treatment.
Juniper slept until noon. When she woke up, Magnus was already downstairs.
Jenny came up wearing little slippers to call her, "Mom! Get up! It's time for lunch! The chef made a lot of delicious food today and even made me creamy mashed potatoes!"
Juniper said, "Okay, I'll wash up and come over. If you're hungry, eat with Dad first."
She rubbed Jenny's little head, picked up her phone, and saw a bunch of messages from Ophelia.
[Check the trending topics!]
[I'm so angry! Who's smearing you?]
Juniper clicked on the link Ophelia sent.
#Heartthrob Moment female guest had a child but pretended to be single on the show#
The exposé was a blurry photo, but even with the poor quality, Juniper immediately recognized the mother and daughter in the picture. It was her and Jenny.
The comments below were even more vicious.
[I used to like her and Trenton, but wow, she has a kid and still goes on a dating show, so shameless!]
[How could she deceive us? I need to calm down, at least she quit after the second season.]
[Having a kid and still going on a dating show, doesn't she feel ashamed?]
[This show is quite something. No wonder none of the three male guests chose her. If I knew she had a kid, I wouldn't choose her either. I mean, who wants to date a woman with a kid?]
[Harper Beaumont is probably just trying to boost her popularity. I read in the news that she has several boyfriends, and the kid's father is her sugar daddy.]
[I saw that news this morning too! Apparently, Harper Beaumont has been kept for years, since college. The guy has a wife but no kids, and she wanted to become his legal wife, so she secretly got pregnant. The guy has a complicated background and didn't want trouble, so he told her to get an abortion. But Harper Beaumont just ran off and had the baby, then came back to use the kid to fight for benefits.]
[Oh my god, homewrecker!]
[This show's casting is terrible! Don't they do background checks? Are they trying to disgust the audience?]
[The power of capital! Harper Beaumont only became popular as a blogger last year. She's clearly trying to become a star by going on the show! But didn't they say she wants to have another kid for her sugar daddy to secure her position? With all the drama on the show, will her sugar daddy still want her?]
[Good thing I only liked her looks. She fits the novel heroine image so well, but her private life is such a mess.]
[Don't be fooled by her face. Her private life is chaotic. There's a rumor that she's very ambitious and even seduced her sugar daddy's friend. She got knocked up by the friend, and the sugar daddy was so angry he told her to get an abortion. She's probably infertile now from all the drama; the sugar daddy likely doesn't want her anymore, so she's desperate to go on the show to make money.]
Reading those baseless comments, Juniper got really angry.
Not because she was being slandered, but because the photo exposed Jenny. Even though it was low resolution, some netizens loved digging into people's information, not even sparing children.
