Chapter 91: An Intimate Encounter
Brayden went to Jacob's house.
"Why are you here?" Jacob asked Brayden in surprise. "Did you see my sister and Donovan?"
"I saw them," Brayden's face turned pale. They seemed to be very affectionate. It wasn't a marriage of convenience, even though Chloe resisted Donovan's kiss slightly. But that didn't prove anything.
"Well, from what I see, Chloe and Donovan are very good together. It's difficult to separate them, so you should give up on that idea," Karen said sarcastically. Just now, she deliberately provoked Donovan to come. Of course, she also knew that Brayden was coming. She sent a WhatsApp message to Brayden, and he probably bumped into Chloe and Donovan.
Karen wanted Brayden to know that his feelings for Chloe were pointless.
"Initially, don't take it seriously, Donovan just went upstairs and was frustrated that Chloe came back to tidy up the clothes, which made him lose face in front of wealthy people. He yelled at Chloe, but she didn't comply. He picked up Chloe and left, saying that he would discipline her when they get home. You should go and check on them," Jacob said hurriedly.
Brayden's eyes immediately turned red. "What did you say?"
He turned and walked away.
"Brayden, Brayden..." Karen shouted from behind, but Brayden's pace was fast. Karen, still wrapped in a towel, dared not go out and could only worry in the background.
"You've done a great job!" Karen said to Jacob.
"You've done a great job, as if I didn't know? Fine, you're both at fault! I made Brayden pursue my sister! When he saw you and me in bed together, did he show any emotion? None. His heart only belongs to my sister. You better give up on him," Jacob said with a smug face.
Karen was furious. She really liked Brayden, but when Brayden said he had feelings for someone else, she gave up on him.
But now, Karen was determined. She told Brayden that if he didn't agree, she would degrade herself and have sex with Jacob. She specifically sent a WhatsApp message to Brayden today to make him come and witness the scene.
Little did she expect that Chloe would come back too, and Karen instigated Donovan to come.
...
Donovan and Chloe were already home.
Donovan immediately carried Chloe to the bathroom upstairs. When he went upstairs, he asked Maya to bring the Dragon Blood Salve for treating burns to the upstairs.
He grabbed a basin of hot water, found a stool for Chloe, rolled up his sleeves, and squatted down to wash Chloe's feet.
Chloe's feet involuntarily recoiled a bit. Donovan was washing her feet himself and she was not used to it.
"Don't move," Donovan held onto her feet.
Chloe's hands and feet were always cold in autumn and winter. Now, being held in his hands and soaked in warm water, the warmth spread throughout her body. Chloe felt comfortable, as if she had returned to her childhood when her father used to wash her feet. This kind of intimacy had been missing for many years.
He deliberately massaged the swollen area on Chloe's foot.
"Does it feel better?" he raised his head to ask Chloe.
Their eyes met instantly, and Chloe felt some kind of affection flowing between them.
She stared into Donovan's eyes and had a slight illusion. It seemed as if he was both her father and her husband. Chloe even had the impulse to kiss him.
"Why are you staring at my eyes so much?" Donovan noticed it. Chloe always liked to stare into his eyes.
Chloe snapped back to reality, "Your eyes are beautiful."
Donovan's mood seemed good, and he asked again, "Are you comfortable?"
Chloe nodded and couldn't help but smirk, "I am comfortable."
Donovan continued to pour water on Chloe's feet, as if a trickle was flowing through her heart.
The bathroom was quiet, with only the soothing sound of running water, as if time had stopped.
At this moment, noise came from downstairs, Maya seemed to be trying to stop something, and there was a man's voice, "Why does he have the right to hit Chloe?"
Then there was the sound of footsteps coming upstairs, and Donovan's room door opened.
Donovan furrowed his brow slightly, as if he was filled with rage.
Chloe could already tell that it was Brayden making the noise, but she didn't know what had happened.
Donovan washed his hands under the faucet, wiped them with a towel, and then walked out.
"What did you do to Chloe? What happened to Chloe?" Brayden's voice came through.
Maya walked into the bathroom, still applying a bandage to Chloe's wound, so Chloe couldn't leave for the time being.
"I didn't come looking for you, but you came to my door," Donovan said sarcastically.
Brayden didn't respond and stood there.
"I don't need someone like you, an outsider, to point fingers at what I did to my wife," Donovan calmly said, "Brayden, didn't anyone tell you about the consequences of trespassing someone else's property?"
"What did you do to Chloe? Where is Chloe?" Brayden scanned the room.
Afraid of conflict between the two, Chloe said to Maya, "Maya, please hurry up a bit."
"I'm washing my wife's feet. Do you want to see this bedroom pleasure?" Donovan said calmly, sitting on the couch, as if Brayden was just a inconsequential subordinate.
Brayden was slightly shocked.
"Playing tricks, seducing someone else's wife, making her visit your office, seducing her to fill out a personal resume, arranging for someone to interview her while she's at work. Brayden, you're quite capable," Donovan recounted Brayden's crimes, "As a male third party, you've succeeded. Did you really think you could steal Donovan's woman? You have guts."
Donovan's words clearly shocked Brayden. How did he know all these things? Did Chloe tell him? Do they have such a close relationship?
Chloe was also shocked. How did Donovan know about these things?
How did he seem to have witnessed them himself?
And what else did he not know...?
