Looking at her plump red lips opening and closing with each word, he lowered his head and kissed her
Christopher invaded her lips, explosing every inch of her mouth.
Alarge handwound around her slender waist and with a slight mudge, forced her to take two steps forward closer to his body.
His other hand supported her neck Eirmly to keep her head from moving
He had always been like this. Regardless of what Adelina had been doing or saying, Christopher would randomly grab her for a deep kiss without her consent.
Irritated, Adeline hit him.
Christopher’s body jolted hat he didn’t let her go. Instead, he rightened his ambrace and deepened the loss.
Eventually, his kiss went from domineering to languid, and finally a ras gentleness made it through.
Adeline’s struggling was a futile effort, so she just gave up and let him do what he wanted.
Their lips parted, though their noses remained touching Christopher asked in a low voice, “Were you drinking?”
Adeline tuned ber head away from him. “Who cares?”
Christopher laughed lightly as his gaze ovelled downward. He frowned when he saw the dried wine stain on Adeline’s chest. He bent over and his nose touched the winestain

Christophe straightened himself. On seeing Adeline’s stunned expression, he laughed and reached out to smooth over the rangles in her hair. “Go take a bath.” Adeline was slightly confused by his sudden actions and the she was using
Christopher was being gentle?
Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?
Christopher took her upstairs. The bechrab was already filled with water at just the right temperature.
He stood at the doorway with raised eyebrows. “Are you going to wash yourself, or do you need my help?”
Adeline stopped his quickly. “You don’t have to do this 1 can do it myself.”
Christopher’s eyes flicted across Adaline’s hand, which was still waapped in bandages. “Your hand’s still injured I help you with the bath.”
Christopher strode in without waiting for Adeline’s reply and locked the bathroom door that behind him.
“sopher, what are you doing with your hands?”
Christopher told the shirt he had just moved from Adeline’s body into the trash. Adeline gasped, “My clothes!”
Christopher said, “I’ll buy you a new one.”
“What are you doing?”
Adeline said, “I was going to take a bath! Christopher, you’re shameless!” Only then did Adeline realize that Christopher, the bastard, had planned this.

They only finished their ball when it was past midnight.
Adeline had already become boneless by the time she lay down on the bed. Her eyelids were heavy and she couldn’t muster the strength to open them.
thecamy white skin was exposed and was marked by traces of varying depths.
The bed sank downward beside her from Christopher’s weight as he sat down. His dark brown hair was still moist from the bath, and the bangs on his forehead cast a thin sell over his deeply
Adeline noticed a trace of genes in him.
Christopher looked down an Adelion, who was half–asleep beside He could still taste the seat smell at her shampos in the air.
“Aren’t you going to sleep?” Christopher asked in a love, seductive voice that was unique to him. “Or do you want a repeat?”
Adele shifted her body closer to him and lightly shook her head. Her eyes sparked under the light. “Christopher, you’re so good–looking”
Christopher was highly satisfied with the cam
He smiled. “So you’re finally talking?”

He was mocking her. Adeline unhappily turned over so that her back would be facing him. She muttered, “Same goes for you. If you don’t want your mouth you should donate it.“ Christopher laughed on hearing that and flipped her body over to face him. “How’s you if I donate?”
His amber eyes were beautiful. They resembled jewels that one couldn’t look away from

his full, red lips.
They were so close together that their hot breaths angled with each other.
Adeline couldn’t help but reflect on how she had never loved à man from the depth of her heart or even dated properly before
Ultimately, to fall in love with Christopher was a good concesion to her highly particular tastes in men.
Christopher’s clear gaze fell on her beautiful fate. The coter of his eyes lifted upward as he smiled.
“Christopher.“Adeline asked. “I pretty?”
Christopher looked at her delicate features that spoke of unparalleled beauty. “Not bad.”
Adeline laughed lightly. Christopher was being petty. Was he getting his revenge on her for making the same comment about his looks at the Keller Manor?
Adelina placed her arms on his shoulders, circling them around his neck as the breathed in his fragrance. “Then do you like me?”
Christopher didn’t respond. The light in his eyes faded
Adelined to find even just a spark of love in his eyes.
Before Christopher could reply, the sound of the phone’s ringtone cut through the brid but steamy encounter between them. Christopher for up and took up his phone. He glanced at it before pressing on the ‘ceive call‘ button and heading to the balcony. The person on the other end of the call spoke in a hurried tone. Before Christopher could move, Adeline had already heard a name. Decolby.
Adalina’s heart sank. It was Dorothy agan.
The so–called good friend who was just like a brother to him
She watched Christopher’s figure as she sat up with the blanket in her arms. He hung up and came back
All of the tenderness from before had disappeared. Without waiting for him to speak, Addine warned Christopher with a cold expression on her face, “Christopher, if you dare to take one step our of this place today, don’t come back.”
Christopher frowned and held up the phone in his hand. “It was a call from Stan.”
“Christopher, when you’re lying to someone, don’t assume they’re an idiot.”
She had already heard the name Dorothy, and he still tried to lie to her.
Christopher didn’t attempt to explain anything further. Before going to the walk–in closet to change his clothes, he reminded her, “Sleep early”
He hurried out after dressing
Adeline couldn’t muster up the energy to tell him off. She watched dazedly as he exited and closed the door.
A short while later, the sound of a motorbike revving up and speeding away could be heard downstairs.
After the sound faded, Adeline dumped back onto the bed with the energy leaving her body.
Even after she had given him such an ultimatum, the still couldn’t stop Christopher from heading in another woman’s direction
The light above her head was too bright, making her eyes but
Adeline lifted a hand and used her are to cover her eyes. She shut her eyes as tears escaped bath her closed eyelids.
Her arm became weraswell.
She hadn’t intended on crying
Maybe too many things had happened today and the was just thed.
She really didn’t want to cry

had already become as hard as a rock
Het stomach suddenly contracted painfully and Adeline couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath
Shell the bed for a glass of warm water and returned to downs on the bed
However, the palo didn’t relieve itsell with time but instead warned. It was so agonizing that Adelse could only bath huskily
Adeline curled in ons herelt with a handpressed over heraldsen. Her face had turned pale

It hurt. Even breathing was painful
She wasn’t sure if it was caused by that unfortunate dinner at the Keller Manor or if it was because she had drunk some alcohol.
Awave of mouse rode up her throat. Adaline hurried to get off the bed and stumbled toward the toilet before she started to throw up violently.
Each wave of dry heaving had sucked her strength dry.
She returned to the bedroom with difficulty. She was just about to press the button that would call Martha to her room, but then she remembered that they had given her the day off because chey had planned on having dinner at the Keller Manor
With one hand on her abdomen. Adeline curled on the bed and took up her phone. Her first instinct was to call Rose, but then she remembered again that Rose was still in another city at this
Her trembling finger scrolled through her contacts from top to bottom, and she realized that she had no one that she could call at this time.
Adeline wasn’t good at socializing. She didn’t like faking it, nor did she like to rely on others, so she only had a few friends.
And the only person who ever loved her in her life had already passed away a long time ago.
Adeline had never thought that at this time when she would need someone by her side the most, she wouldn’t know who to go to for help.
It had also never occurred to her before that after being proudly independent for so many years, there would be a time when she would need someone too
Her eyes finally fell on Christopher’s contact. Her ger hovered over it for a moment as the light in her eyes gradually faded. Two seconds later, the switched off her phone.
Adeline got up and dressed while she still had the strength to get up. She went downstairs and called a taxi
Her pale face and the way the curled into herself in the backseat made the tand driver take pity on her. In the end, he was the one who sent her to the hospital, then helped her to register and pay the registration fee.
Adeline finally sank into a deep sleep once the TV drip was attached.
In the ward, Christopher loolad at the woman sitting before him with a cold expression. She was dressed in hospital attire.
“What happened?”
Dorothy had a bandage on her forehead that had a few light bloodstains. “I accedentally fell when I was riding my bike. It’s not as bad as how Saan made it sound, but he insisted on calling you.
Seawalked in after paying the fee “Not bad? Your head was bleeding”
Dorothy smiled uncaringly as she looked at Christopher. “It’s normal to get injured here and there when rating bikes. After all, I can take it just like any man cant,
Christopher asked, “In the call, you said that someone hit you on purpose?”
“Oh, it was my mistake. I saw his car head directly in my direction and i thought that he did it on purpose, but it turned out that he was just tied and almost hit me on accident. I panicked a
As they spole, Chester entered and said by Christopher’s war in a low voles, “Mr. Lambert, I’ve investigated the incident. It was a case of drowsy driving and the driver didn’t hit Ms. Clark.” Dorothy saw how chilly Christopher’s expression was and changed the topic. “Christopher, Sean, 1 want to thank the two of you. If not for you guys, I wouldn’t know who else to call whenever I’m in trouble I’m so happy to have you guys as my best trends.”
