Chapter 216 Explanation.
Matteo's heart sank as he saw more tears rolling down Emily's cheeks. Without thinking twice, he swiftly moved
toward her, scooping her up effortlessly. One arm hooked under her knees, the other behind her back, and he
lifted her into his arms. Emily was too furious to let him touch her, let alone carry her. "No! Putdown, you
asshole!" she shouted, beating his chest with her fists in protest, but Matteo didn't stop until he gently placed
her back on the bed.
Emily was breathing heavily, her face flushed red with anger, glaring at him through her watery eyes. Matteo
calmly poured her a glass of water and extended it toward her, only for Emily to slap it out of his hand, spilling
the water all over the bed.
But Matteo didn't flinch. He wasn't bothered by her infuriating reaction. If it had been anyone else, they would
have regretted crossing him for the rest of their life. But with her, the woman who had captured his heart, he
didn't mind.
Matteo smiled softly, unfazed, and poured the water again into the glass, extending it to Emily once more. Her
anger still burned, and she instinctively moved to slap it away again. But this time, Matteo skillfully dodged her
hand, saving the glass from spilling. "Chérie, | was teasing you. Nothing happened between us last night,"
Matteo said in a calm, sincere tone, his voice unusually honest.
Emily was momentarily stunned. She had expected him to mock her vulnerability from the night before, but the
seriousness in his eyes softened her defenses.
"How do | believe you?" she asked, her skeptical mind refusing to trust him, especially given his reputation as a
notorious playboy. "I woke up without my clothes, only in this... robe," she gestured to her body, "and... and you
were right next to me, holdinglike... like..." Her words tumbled out in a rush, but faltered as her voice trailed
off, unable to complete the thought.

narrowed her eyes at him but then sighed, huffing out a breath to calm her anger before giving him a hesitant
nod.
"Have swater while | explain," he said, offering the glass once more. As she reluctantly took it, Matteo
began telling her everything-how they met in the lift lobby and how she ended up in his private suite.
"So... your clothes were soaked, and | had to remove them and put you in that robe," he said, biting his lip to
stop himself from grinning as he noticed the pink blush deepening on Emily's cheeks.
"You... you removed my clothes?" she stammered, her eyes wide with disbelief. The embarrassment washed over
her, knowing that Matteo Vinci had seen her naked.
Matteo thought about telling her the truth- that she had removed her own clothes in her intoxicated state to
seduce him and that he'd had to stop her from taking off her lingerie-but he decided against it. He didn't want to
humiliate or embarrass her. Matteo liked Emily Yang as fierce and confident as she always was, a perfect
challenge for him. So, he vowed to keep his lips sealed about how desperately she'd begged him to fuck her.
"Don't worry, ma douce," Matteo said with a calm smile. "I did it with my eyes closed, and | didn't see anything, |
swear."
Emily was torn between dishelief and wanting to trust him Her mind screamed not to fall for the

Casanova attorney's words, but as Matteo held her gaze, his eyes unwavering and filled with quiet confidence,
she found herself letting her guard down. The sincerity she saw in his expression forced her to trust him, even
against her better judgment.
A comforting silence settled between them for a long moment, as if their hearts were speaking and their eyes
were carrying on a conversation. It was-a rare, quiet connection that felt almost tangible. But then, the doorbell
rang, shattering the moment. "I'll get it," Matteo said, standing up and tightening the bedsheet securely around
his waist before heading to the door.
