Chapter 622 An Odd Woman
“I’ll get the usual dishes,” Tristan said with a smile.
“All right. It’ll be ready in a moment!” the waiter replied cheerfully and left.
Jared surveyed the restaurant and thought its interior design was sophisticated, even though the space was not
very big. Moreover, there were quite many diners in the restaurant.
Sitting just a stone’s throw away from them was a young woman dining by herself, clad in a satin dress and had a
fair complexion. When his eyes ranged over her, his gaze lingered on her subconsciously, and his heart started
racing a few seconds later. All of a sudden, he had the urge to go up to her and pin her to the ground.
Jared bit the tip of his tongue hard to jolt himself out of it. Instantly, the pain caused him to return to his senses, and
he retracted his gaze from her.

Jared’s heart was still pounding fast, and his cheeks were flushed. Flustered by his sudden desire, he could not help
but knit his brows. Although he was a hot-blooded young man, he had strong self-control. Plenty of women had
offered themselves to them, and he was never once aroused.
Even when Jared first saw Lizbeth’s naked body, he had never reacted like he did that day. The fact that he lost his
composure merely from looking at the young woman for a few seconds disconcerted him.
Finally, he shook his head and replied, “I’m fine.”
Tristan observed Jared for a while before turning his attention to the young woman. He was aware that Jared
blushed and started breathing quicker after glancing at her.
“Don’t look at her…”
Upon noticing that Tristan was looking at the woman, Jared tried to stop him, but it was too late. The former had his
eyes fastened on her.
After studying the young woman from head to toe, Tristan tilted his head and asked, “Is there something wrong with
her, Mr. Chance?”
His calm reaction weirded out Jared, who queried, “Did you feel aroused when you looked at her?”
“Not at all!” Tristan shook his head with a confused expression. “I mean, she’s pretty, but it’s not to the extent that I
would lust for her at first glance. Are you perhaps feeling frustrated because you’ve been staying on your own for
the last couple of days? I can arrange for a few women to keep you company…”
Tristan thought Jared must have reacted in such a manner because he had been cooped up for too long and missed
the touch of a woman.
Upon hearing that, Jared shook his head awkwardly. “No, thanks.”
As of then, he still had not been intimate with any woman even though he was surrounded by many.

courage and took another look at the woman.
However, that time around, he did not feel the sexual urge anymore despite staring at her for a long
moment. That’s strange.
Tristan noticed that Jared could not keep his eyes away from the young woman, so he smiled and asked, “Do you
want me to call her over?”
“Nope. Let’s eat.” Jared then lowered his head and began eating.
“Oh, my, look who’s here! What a coincidence, Mr. Bailey.”
Halfway through their meal, a frivolous voice sounded from a distance.
Tristan instantly recognized the man’s voice and frowned. He did not even bother to turn around to look at him as
he cautioned, “Stay away from me, Gavin. I’m not in the mood to entertain you today.”
Jared lifted his head to look at Gavin, who resembled a hooligan. There was barely any aura on the latter, which
showed he was not a martial artist. Nevertheless, the two subordinates standing behind him were Grandmasters.
