Chapter 145 Locked in the Bathroom by Alex
Alex's arm reached around the girl's back, gripping her slender waist. He pulled her forward, and their bodies collided through their clothes, fitting together seamlessly.
Their breaths intertwined, and their lips were about to touch.
This sudden proximity made Katherine's heart race. She was annoyed.
What was Alex doing?
Scarlett had just left!
If she hadn't seen Scarlett in pajamas here with her own eyes, knowing that Alex and Scarlett had just spent the night together, she might have thought that Alex was actually quite nice to her, that he cared for her, and perhaps had some feelings for her.
However, this man had just spent the whole night with Scarlett, so how did he still have the energy to tease her like this?
Katherine came to her senses and turned her head to avoid Alex's kiss, narrowly missing it. She placed her hands on the man's chest and pushed him away, also stepping back a bit to keep her distance.
"Alex, I understand what you mean. From now on, I'll make sure to inform you wherever I go. You don't need to take such measures to make me remember!" then she said.
Alex straightened up, hearing Katherine's indifferent words. His eyes narrowed, and his intense emotions cooled.
She was utterly clueless about his feelings!
He questioned, "You understand? What do you understand?"
Alex looked at Katherine with deep eyes, containing a hint of helplessness and displeasure for not getting what he wanted.
"Everything!" Katherine glanced at the man, not wanting to say anything too harsh.
Alex had said more than once that he could give her anything except love.
So Katherine wouldn't delude herself into thinking this man had any feelings for her.
She had thought it through carefully. Alex was so concerned about her well-being essentially because of his own future with Scarlett.
If she, as a tool, safely lived until their marriage was annulled in three months, Alex would just be a normal divorced person, free to date and remarry without much impact.
But if something happened to her and she died, Alex would be a widower. If he wanted to marry his true love, Scarlett, in the future, Scarlett would be considered his second wife.
Many families were superstitious about this, especially a prestigious family like the Mitchell family.
Scarlett was treated like a precious gem by the Mitchell family. How could they agree to let her be someone's second wife?They already had family conflicts preventing them from being together smoothly. Wouldn't this add another barrier?
Alex was trying to avoid such troublesome situations.
And these things didn't need to be spelled out; understanding them was enough.
Saying it too clearly would make everyone uncomfortable.
Katherine thought for a moment, then looked at Alex seriously and said in a negotiating tone, "Alex, I hope you won't bring Scarlett back here to spend the night anymore!"
Alex was momentarily stunned, then raised an eyebrow, his probing gaze fixed on her. "Why?"
Jealous?
Katherine shrugged indifferently. "I assume you have other houses, right? If you don't have a house nearby, there are plenty of hotels to choose from! You can take Scarlett to any place outside to have fun, and I won't mind at all! But if you keep bringing her home, it will make it very difficult for me to play the role of Mrs. Melville!
"With so many people in the house, in front of the butler and the servants, should I manage you or not? If I manage you, I can't control you! If I don't manage you, and word gets back to your family elders, they might discover that our marriage is a sham! Then the trouble will be all yours!" added she.
Alex coldly repeated a key point from her words, "As long as I take her outside, you don't mind?"
Katherine nodded, "Yes, of course!"
Alex's face instantly darkened, cold as an icy pond. He pulled the corners of his lips and let out a chilling laugh from his throat.
Katherine had said all she wanted to say and was ready to head to the guest room.
Before leaving, she patted Alex on the shoulder and said in a teasing tone, "You must be exhausted from last night, right? Get some rest. It's nice to be with the woman you love, but don't overdo it!"
Alex narrowed his long eyes. "Katherine, what exactly do you think I did last night?"
Katherine thought, 'He knew very well what he did! I'm not shameless enough to say such things out loud!'
Katherine curled her lips. "Alex, what I mean is, even though you're young and vigorous now, overindulgence can lead to early decline. For the sake of a long and happy life, you should learn to moderate!"
With that, she walked around the man and strolled towards the guest room.
Unfortunately, she had just stepped out the door when her collar was grabbed, and the next moment, Katherine was lifted like a kitten and taken to the bathroom!
The bathroom door slammed shut and locked!
Katherine was unceremoniously thrown into the bathtub, and the showerhead sprayed water all over her.
Caught off guard, she choked on the water and coughed twice, clinging to the edge of the tub in a panic. "Alex, what... what are you doing?"
Alex stood by the tub, looking down at her. "Ms. Galatea's brain seems to be clogged with something dirty. It needs a rinse."
"Your brain is clogged!" Katherine muttered angrily, struggling to stand up from the slippery tub and trying to step out.
Her slippers were not slip-resistant in the tub, and she slipped, falling uncontrollably!
She thought she was going to fall hard, but Alex caught her in his arms!
The position was a bit awkward.
Once she steadied herself, she wanted to get away from him quickly, but he didn't give her the chance. He turned around and placed her on the bathroom counter.
Katherine instinctively hooked her arms around his neck, trying to get down and leave quickly!
But Alex's arms were braced on either side of her, trapping her and blocking her escape.
She was cornered, feeling a mix of shame and anger. "Alex, what are you trying to do?"
Alex leaned in close, whispering in her ear, "Ms. Galatea, didn't you suspect I was fooling around with someone last night? Now I'll show you what it really looks like when I fool around, how about that?"
Katherine's heart raced, and she felt a bit scared. "I... I was joking! Alex, you're a grown man, can't you take a joke?"
He let out a dark, hoarse laugh. "No, I can't take a joke. I'm serious!"
Then, with a sense of retribution, he pressed down on her with overwhelming intensity.
Katherine's mind was in chaos, and she closed her eyes to escape.
"It hurts," said she.
