Chapter 82 – John Was Liked
After finishing the acupuncture treatment on Alice, John rushed into the bathroom. He turned the shower knob all the way to cold, letting the freezing water crash down over him as he tried to wash away the sweat and—more importantly—the lingering tension.
But it was useless.
The icy stream only made his skin prickle, but the heat inside him remained stubbornly alive. Worse, it triggered a memory—his first night at Greenland Villa, when Queenie had fallen out of the bathroom wrapped in nothing but steam.
Damn it!
John groaned and turned the water even colder, hoping it would flush away the images blooming in his mind like wildflowers after spring rain.
Still no luck.
In the end, he gave up and forced himself to think of something completely different to regain control.
"If I don't master the Nameless Divine Skill soon, this kind of situation might drive me insane before I can even make a breakthrough," he muttered with a wry smile.
He stepped out of the shower, water dripping down his toned body. He grabbed a towel and dried off, too preoccupied to bother with a shirt. Still shirtless, he headed toward the living room—only to stop dead in his tracks the moment he arrived.
There were people there. More people than he expected.
Besides Tracy and Alice, Queenie had returned. And next to her sat a woman John had never seen before.
