Chapter 70 Divorce?
Charles froze for a second, loosening his grip on her just a bit.
With a deranged intensity, his eyes darkened as he fixed his gaze on Anna.
Right then, Anna felt a bit sluggish due to her intoxication, didn't catch the shift in his aura.
But just as she tried to wiggle free, he tightened his hold on her waist, pulling her back in.
Then, out of nowhere, he planted a hot, fervent kiss on the back of her neck.
Anna went weak in the knees.
Ten minutes later, Charles held a limp Anna in his arms. "What did you just say? Divorce?"
Anna's lips quivered, her voice soft and delicate. "No divorce."
Satisfied with her answer, Charles eased up. He scooped her up and walked out of the Serenity Lounge.
From a crack in the back room door, Aurora peeked out nervously.
She only relaxed a bit when she saw Charles leave with Anna. But thinking about that intense kiss, Aurora almost screamed. Who would have thought the usually laid-back Charles could be so intense?
Aurora's excitement totally overshadowed her worry about losing her job.
After leaving the Serenity Lounge, Charles took Anna straight to the Regal Retreat.
It was nearly 10:30 the next morning when Anna woke up.
Slowly opened her eyes in the main bedroom, Anna instinctively moved her arm, feeling a sharp pain.
Remembering what happened yesterday, she covered her eyes with her hand, regretting everything. Why did she drink andblurt out "divorce"?
Now sober, Anna decided she'd never mention "divorce" in front of this madman again. Worst case, she'd just flee.
Before she could finish her self-reflection, Charles walked in with a cup of warm water.
The slight sound of the bedroom door closing made Anna's eyelashes tremble as she lay in bed, pretending to be asleep.
Charles placed the cup on the bedside table, the bottom making a slight clink against the table.
He stood by the bed, smiling silently as he watched Anna fake sleep.
Just as her eyelashes fluttered slightly, the mattress beside her sank a bit.
Charles propped himself up with one hand beside Anna and gently placed the other on the blanket.
Even through the blanket, Anna's body tensed up.
"Anna, did you enjoy what happened on this bed yesterday?" Charles said.
Anna's eyes twitched violently. She suddenly opened them, glaring at him with a hint of anger. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Charles unhurriedly pulled her out from under the blanket. "You woke up but didn't open your eyes. I thought you were reluctant to leave."
