Chapter 23 Five Years Later, You're Finally Back
During the day, everything was chill.
By evening, Harper was on the bed, hugging a teddy bear almost as big as her. She looked at the stunning Sarah, her big eyes sparkling.
"Mom, Dad's usually out now, and I think the spy stuff is in his bedside drawer."
Sarah, looking surprised and a bit skeptical, asked again, "You sure about that?"
Harper nodded like crazy. "Yeah! Mom, go grab it before Dad gets back! You got this!"
Sarah figured Harper wouldn't mess with her, so she didn't waste time and snuck into Antonio's room to find the surveillance.
Seeing Sarah move, Harper couldn't hide her grin, her big eyes turning into crescents. She actually knew the surveillance wasn't in the bedroom and that Antonio was home.
Harper looked up at the ceiling, her mind wandering, imagining some epic drama.
She pictured Sarah finding the toy on Antonio's bedside, getting all emotional. All her old anger would melt away, replaced by deep feelings. Right then, Antonio would show up, seeing the beautifully dressed Sarah.
When Sarah got outside Antonio's room, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She instinctively turned around, but there was nothing there. She had no clue that the Harper she trusted had totally tricked her.
She pushed the door open a crack; the room was empty, but she could hear water running in the bathroom. 'Is Antonio taking a shower?' she wondered.
She felt a bit freaked out but, after hesitating for a moment, quietly slipped inside.
Since she was already there, she figured she might as well look around.
Following Harper's directions, Sarah first went to the drawer of the bedside table, but when she opened it, there was nothing inside, not even a hint of any surveillance stuff.
She wouldn't know what used to be there, and Antonio had already put away the toys.
"This can't be right. Did Harper get it wrong?"
Just as Sarah was puzzled, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped suddenly, making Sarah go pale with shock.
She quickly ran towards the door, but it was too late.
Antonio walked out half-naked, with just a towel around his waist, his muscular body on full display, water droplets still clinging to his upper body, sliding down his muscles.
He had vaguely heard some noise in the room earlier, and his first thought was that Harper had come again. But now, seeing who the sneaky person was, his pupils contracted, and he squinted his eyes, striding towards the fleeing Sarah. "What are you doing here?"
Sarah's eyes went wide, totally at a loss for words.
Her heart was pounding like crazy. Seeing Antonio coming closer, she started to back up, but soon her back hit the wall, leaving her with nowhere to go.
As Antonio got closer, his suspicion grew.
What was Sarah up to? She used to treat him like a monster, but now she not only came to him but also dressed like this in his room.
Seeing the weird look in Antonio's eyes, Sarah felt her heart skip a beat. She tried to slip away to the side, but Antonio blocked her with his hand. She tried to push him away, but he grabbed her wrist and pinned it against the wall.
Antonio leaned in close, his lips parting slightly, his voice low and magnetic. "Are you trying to seduce me dressed like this?"
Only then did Sarah remember she had rushed over without changing her clothes!
From Antonio's angle, he could see a lot of skin below her neckline!
She was both pissed and embarrassed, wanting to kick him.
"Let go of me! You're overthinking it. This is the outfit Harper picked for me!"
Unexpectedly, Antonio chuckled at her words. His already striking features were accentuated by droplets of water, his hair slightly tousled, adding a wild allure to his appearance.
Antonio asked, "Are you deliberately rejecting me?"
Sarah was almost speechless. Antonio was really full of himself, thinking that just because he was rich and good-looking, all the women in the world wanted to jump into his bed?
After being married to him for so many years, it was the first time she realized he was so narcissistic. Why on earth did she marry him before?
"Quit the BS. Being my boss doesn't give you free rein over me. Hands off. I gotta get back to Harper!" Sarah struggled to break free from his grip, but this only seemed to provoke Antonio more.
He looked at Sarah, who was so close. With flames seemingly flickering in his eyes, his breath becoming heated.
The fabric couldn't hide Sarah's beautiful figure, her curves very enticing. At this moment, she was in his arms, her scent filling his nostrils. Her face overlapped with the person in his memory, and for a moment, Antonio felt like he was back in the past.
This room was their wedding room, where they had spent countless nights together.
Five years had passed, and she was finally back.
"Even if you don't admit it, you can't fool me."
With that, in a moment of passion, he lowered his head and kissed her rosy lips.
