Chapter 532: Chapter 532: Mika Summers VS Tristan Grayson (32)
Tristan Grayson said helplessly, "What on earth did my dad do to upset you this time?" ’They’ve been married for ages, and they’re still threatening divorce. Can’t they behave, even in the middle of the night?’
"Tristan, if you’re a good son, you’ll come pick me up. Right now." With that, Mae Lynch hung up the phone.
Tristan Grayson stared at the phone in his hand, utterly bewildered.
"Are your parents fighting again?" Mika Summers asked, sitting up when she saw the troubled look on Tristan’s face.
At her words, Tristan pulled Mika into his arms and kissed her cheek. "Yeah. You get some rest. I’m going to go back and check on things."
"I’ll go back with you."
"You should stay here. The kids are at home."
"Okay, then. Drive safely, and don’t rush."
Mika’s words warmed Tristan’s heart. A roguish grin touched his lips as he murmured, "When I get back... we’ll continue this!"
"Just go, get out of here! Who said I wanted to continue anything with you!" Mika’s cheeks flushed as she started pushing Tristan away.

Leo Joyce took Tiana to Siren’s Night, to a VIP suite on the fourth floor.
He carried Tiana all the way to the bedroom...
It all happened too suddenly, so fast that Tiana had no time to react before finding herself here.
Just as she tried to get up, Leo pinned her down.
Panicked, Tiana pushed and beat against Leo, but he refused to let go. Instead, he gripped her hands tightly, crushing any attempt at resistance.
Having never been treated this way by Leo before, Tiana felt more than just panic. She was terrified...
"Leo, what’s wrong with you? You’re scaring me. You... you need to let me go. I-I’m scared..."
Hearing the fear in Tiana’s voice, he snapped back to his senses, his body freezing in place.
’But he was just so afraid of losing her, so terrified... The sliver of reason he had left wasn’t nearly enough to stop him.’
’He just wanted to hold on to this woman and never, ever let her go.’
’And the only way to do that... was to make Tiana his, starting from this very moment.’
At this thought, Leo’s eyes became bloodshot. "Tiana, forgive me."
"Leo, don’t," Tiana pleaded, now utterly panicked. Tears began to stream down her face.
Seeing her so scared she was crying, Leo froze for a moment. He suppressed the storm of emotions inside him and rolled onto his side on the bed. "Tiana, I’m sorry. I scared you."
"SOB..." Tiana didn’t say another word. She just collapsed into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
’That bastard... he’d nearly scared her to death.’
Her cries, growing louder with each sob, made Leo’s heart clench painfully. He gently held the back of her head and spoke in a low voice, "Tiana, promise me. Promise you’ll never talk about breaking up again, okay?"
Tiana lifted her head from his embrace and lightly struck his chest. "Leo Joyce, you’re an asshole." ’How could he do that to me...? I was terrified... I really thought I was going to die from fear...’
Leo caught her small hand, gripping it tightly. "You’re right, I’m an asshole. I’m a total asshole, but Tiana, I really can’t live without you." ’Never talk about breaking up again,’ he thought. ’I’m scared. I’m truly scared.’
"But I’m not the one you love. Leo Joyce, why can’t you just let me go?"
