Chapter 617 Abstinence
Ava hung up the phone, leaving Violet still in shock. After a moment, she remembered to text her husband: [Hey babe, your mom apologized to me and said she wants to make it up to Nicole. I didn't agree right away.]
Brady replied: [It's up to you. Forgive her whenever you're ready.]
Violet chuckled: [Aren't you worried I'll give your mom a hard time?]
Brady couldn't help but smile at her response: [You're not that mean.]
Violet: [With you saying that, I really can't bring myself to be mean to her.]
Brady: [Seriously though, about the kids, it's your call. If she's genuinely sorry, you can think about letting her gradually get involved.]
Violet understood: [I know. By the way, I'm planning to resign today and work at JK as a partner. This way, we can be open about our relationship, and no one will criticize you for office romance.]
Brady smiled: [Got it.]
He paused, glancing out the office's floor-to-ceiling window, feeling a bit playful: [Hey, what are you wearing today?]
Ever since Violet got pregnant, Brady had been abstinent.
But he was only 28, right at the peak of a man's needs, and it was incredibly tough for him to hold back.
Violet, unaware of his intentions, replied earnestly: [Didn't you see this morning? Just a plain white shirt and a loose pleated skirt. Did you forget?]
Of course, Brady hadn't forgotten. He was the one who helped her put on the skirt.
[I forgot. How about sending me a picture?]
Violet: [Are you crazy? Asking for a picture during work hours?]
Brady twirled his pen and sent another message: [I want to see.]
Seeing those words, Violet's heart suddenly raced. Was Brady thinking about sex again? He had been struggling lately, and she couldn't help him out.
Considering his struggle, she decided to give him a little treat.
Violet raised her phone slightly and took a picture of herself, sending it to him.
After receiving the photo, Brady felt even worse.
Flirting should happen when Violet wasn't pregnant. Just looking at her in that professional outfit made him lose control.
Brady dropped his phone in frustration, pressing his fingers to his temples to calm down.
He managed to cool off a bit after half a minute.
It worked somewhat, and he didn't dare ask Violet for more pictures, or he wouldn't be able to focus on work all afternoon.
After work, Brady had some business to attend to and couldn't drive Violet home. Violet went back to the mansion with the driver.
Around 8 PM, Violet had put the kids to bed, and Brady returned late after his business meeting.
Upon arriving at the mansion, Brady first went to the kids' room. Seeing them asleep, he stayed by their beds for a while before heading to his own bedroom.
Violet was still awake, sitting on the bed in a loose silk robe, flipping through a design magazine.
Her face was clean and pure, with long hair cascading over her shoulders. The robe's neckline was slightly low, revealing a hint of her fair skin.
Her delicate hands gently turned the pages.
Brady stood at the door, his gaze deepening, his throat tightening, feeling a surge of desire. He unconsciously unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt to cool down.
Nothing's more frustrating than having your gorgeous wife right in front of you and not being able to touch her.
