The man kissed with no skill whatsoever, making Crystal Landon feel a bit numb all over. If she let Richard Shaw kiss her so heavily, and if her lips got bruised, she would absolutely be laughed to death at Alaric Howard's wedding.
When their breath started to become rapid, the man pushed her away aggressively, his voice low and suppressed, saying, "Next time, speak properly."
Crystal Landon's heart was pounding wildly from the kiss. Although she often mingled in the marketplace, she never messed around with relationships, and this was her first kiss. Originally, she wanted to provoke him, but ended up getting caught herself, feeling a bit annoyed, she shook her hand and left.
The man saw her leaving with a cold face, furrowed his brows, and his mood turned suddenly gloomy. Could it be that his kissing skills were inadequate and despised?
Crystal Landon reapplied her lip color before going downstairs to chat with the old lady and others.
