Without a word, Priscilla attacked Tristan's face directly. Tristan hadn't been paying attention to her at first. However, when Priscilla lashed out at him, he immediately reached out and grabbed Priscilla's hands before pulling her into his embrace.
"Princess, what are you doing? Are you angry because I gave you the antidote instead of using other methods to relieve the poison in your body? Well, if you want to do that, I will gladly spend the night with you so that we can understand each other."
"Urgh! How shameless!"
Even if Priscilla had indeed thought about this before, she would never admit it now.
After all, she felt that she was so dumb! How could she think that Tristan was a polite scholar? In fact, she had wanted to spend the night with him!
This man was not polite at all! He was simply a cunning fox who had been putting up a docile appearance to deceive people.
On the other hand, Mango looked at both of them, who were flirting with each other. She felt that she was third- wheeling right now, but she couldn't leave the room. Hence, what could she do now?
While she was thinking about it, Nathaniel jumped in from the window and was slightly stunned when he saw this scene.
"What's going on?"
His voice wasn't loud, and he pulled Mango over without alarming the two people who were arguing with each other.
Tristan saw Nathaniel, but he didn't have time to say anything. On the other hand, Priscilla had utterly lost her temper. Thus, she didn't pay attention to anything else that was happening. In fact, this was the first time she had neglected Nathaniel because of someone else.
Hence, Mango told the whole story to Nathaniel softly, and his lips curled up in a smile when he heard what was going on.
"Tristan, please treat Princess Priscilla well. After all, I think of her as my sister."
After Nathaniel finished speaking, he turned around and jumped out of the window with Mango.
When Priscilla heard Nathaniel's voice, she paused for a moment. Then, she turned around just to see him leaving with Mango.
How could he abandon her just like that?
What did he mean by asking Tristan to take good care of her?
Urgh! He must have bene desperate to get rid of her.
Although Priscilla had made up her mind to give up Nathaniel, she still felt upset at what had happened.
At this thought, she started tearing up.
Meanwhile, Tristan saw that she had stopped fighting and asked in a low voice, "Do you like Nathaniel?"
"It's none of your business."
Priscilla was so furious, but she had nowhere to vent her anger. Hence, now that Tristan was standing in front of her, she wouldn't hold back her temper anymore.
"Forget about him, he's not suitable for you. Furthermore, he's Mango's husband, so I won't allow you to covet him."
Priscilla was stunned when she heard what Tristan had said.
"Hey! Why do you care so much about Mango? Do you like her too? If you do, then you should try to win over her! Don't you think that you're being a coward right now? Tristan, you should stop lying to yourself!"
However, Tristan smiled and said, "Who told you that I like Mango? Well, even if I like her, it's not the type of feelings that lovers have for each other. After all, the person I like is you, Princess."
"Bah! Don't talk nonsense!"
Priscilla snorted, but she was actually a little surprised.
Did Tristan like her?
What kind of joke was he trying to make?
This was the first time they had met. Would he tell her that he fell in love with her at first sight?
Well, even if it was true, she would not accept it.
Priscilla was lost in thought when she saw Tristan walking towards her.
"Hey! What... what are you trying to do?!"
Tristan, who was currently standing in front of her, looked slender and weak. However, Priscila had fought with him just now, so she knew he was skilful in martial arts. Furthermore, she knew that she couldn't win over him!
At this thought, she felt depressed.
When Tristan saw Priscilla's wary expression, he couldn't help but smile and say, "Don't you know what I'm going to do? Everyone outside knows about its, though. Even though I've removed the aphrodisiac in your body, I think it'll be better for you to become my lover because you're coveting after Nathaniel!"
"How dare you!"
Priscilla suddenly took a step back and exclaimed when she heard what he had said.
Why on earth did she feel like Tristan looked harmless previously? Furthermore, why did he think that she would just marry him like that?
Right now, the man in front of her was like a hunter, and she had become her prey. She couldn't struggle to break free, so she felt terrified!
This was the first time Priscilla had felt scared because of a man.
Therefore, he couldn't ignore how Lebanon was doing.
However, he couldn't tell them the truth yet because of the circumstances that they were currently in.
Various thoughts immediately began running through Tristan's mind, so Mateo felt distressed and distressed when he saw this.
"Alright, it's up to you. However, you must be careful when carrying out your mission. After all, Mango and Nathan are already in a dangerous situation. Also, I've already received an order for the higher-ups. They want all of you to complete this mission together. Tristan, I don't want anything to happen to my family, including you. Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you?"
"I do, Uncle Mateo. Don't worry. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to Mango and Nathaniel. Alright, I'm hanging up. Also, please help me tell my mother that I'll be bringing my future wife back.
After saying that, Tristan glanced at Priscilla, who was sleeping, as the corners of his lips lifted into a smile.
"What?"
Mateo was a little surprised when he heard what Tristan had said.
Over the years, Tristan had been devoted to studying and researching medicine. Thus, he had never been interested in any women. Hence, when did he suddenly get a wife?
However, Tristan didn't care about what Mateo was thinking and cut the line immediately. Then, he went to bed and lay down next to Priscilla.
The unique fragrance on her body filled Tristan's nose, and he liked it very much.
When did he start to like her?
Suddenly, Tristan remembered what had happened during the spring he had turned eighteen.
His life was in danger at that time because of a mission. Thus, he was about to pass out because of the pain when he heard a beautiful female voice by his ears."
"Hey, this man is handsome, but a little dirty. Haha! Maybe he can be one of my slaves when he wakes up, or we can sell him off to some rich family for some money!"
Tristan was so angry after hearing these words that he fainted. When he woke up, he had been treated.
He learnt that the girl who saved him was called Priscilla. Furthermore, he knew that she liked drinking tea and enjoyed eating durian. Also, he knew that she had a crush on a man that she could never have.
Well, he had learnt all this while Priscilla had tortured him. Even though he had suffered quite a great deal of pain back then, he still remembered what had happened back then.
Now, he recognized her, but she did not remember him. Well, the naughty girl who had tormented him for half a month had grown up into a beautiful lady.
However, he needed to get his revenge, right?
At this thought, a mysterious look flashed across Tristan's eyes.
