Chapter 1654
Chapter 1654:
Nate’s commanding presence was proving increasingly problematic for everyone in the household.
The dark night cloaked the city, yet it also brought to life its flashy and hedonistic side.
No place captured that duality better than Lyhaton’s notorious bar street.
Waldo handed off his car keys to a valet and stepped through the entrance casually.
Inside, neon lights flashed like sirens, music throbbed like a pulse, and the air reeked of spilled liquor and
reckless abandon.
On the dance floor, men and women moved to the rhythm, brushing against each other now and then, trading
flirtatious looks that hinted at all sorts of endless outcomes.
Wearing a well-tailored suit, Waldo instantly drew eyes from every corner of the room.
His sleek silver glasses gave him a deceptively mild appearance—a predator wrapped in charm.
A handful of women, dressed to entice, wasted no tapproaching with flirty invitations to dance.
Instead of indulging, Waldo launched into a dry monologue on legal ethics.

something—or someone. The moment he spotted a familiar figure by the bar, he frowned, and a cold glint
flickered in his eyes.

Her face bore no makeup aside from a bold slash of red lipstick that drew the eye and lingered.
While the other women flaunted skin, her understated allure drew even more attention—hungry, lingering stares
from men who didn’t bother hiding their interest.
Waldo never questioned Jolene’s power to attract, but the possessive side of him made it unbearable to see her
attract other men, no matter how unintentional.
Watching her speak so freely with another man lit a fire in his chest.
Jealousy coiled through him like smoke.
He wanted to lock her away, to make her beauty exist for him alone. A distant smile tugged at the corners of his
mouth, while the chill behind his glasses betrayed the heat within.
Adjusting his glasses, Waldo strode straight for her.
As he neared, the man beside her casually pulled out his phone.
“Let's exchange contacts to stay in touch.”
“Maybe we should...”
