Chapter 124

Afterwards, Seraphina brought the soup to James's office.

James was puzzled. "Mom, do I look like I need soup?"

Seraphina shot back, "Stop being silly. Your brother drank it, so you better drink it too!"

James stared at the thermos in his hand, feeling frustrated. 'What on earth happened to Mom that she made three servings of soup and delivered them herself?' he wondered.

Alice, the culprit, yawned lazily, looking pretty tired.

She had stayed up too late last night, and with an early class today, she was running on fumes. She realized she couldn't keep staying late at David's office; the workload at his company was too much, even for him, let alone for her.

Just as she was thinking this, her phone buzzed. Alice took it out and her mouth twitched.

It was a message from David, asking if she had any way to relieve his desire.

Probably because of the soup, David was burning with desire and urgently needed to have sex.

Alice carefully counted the days and realized it had been quite a while since she last hooked up with David.

Feeling a bit soft-hearted, Alice thought about how hard David worked every day and how much he missed her, so she sent him an "OK" emoji.

Before David could reply, she set her phone to silent mode and tried to focus on class, though her cheeks couldn't help but flush.

Meanwhile, David stared at Alice's message for a while, his eyes glued to the "OK" emoji.

He was over the moon because Alice agreed to have sex with him!

David licked his dry lips and loosened his tie and the first button of his shirt.

He suddenly felt the morning soup starting to take effect. Despite the air conditioning in the office, his body was radiating an inexplicable heat, making him restless.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Garrett walked in. Seeing David's state, he was startled, then he asked, "Mr. Tudor, why are you having a nosebleed?"

David calmly grabbed a few tissues to stop the bleeding, leaned back in his chair, and said lightly, "It's nothing, probably due to the dry weather. I need to leave early today."

Garrett then quickly turned serious, "But Mr. Tudor, there's a department meeting this afternoon."

Taking a deep breath with his eyes closed, David replied, "Postpone it."

Garrett tightened his grip on the folder instinctively and said, "Mr. Tudor, I understand how you feel, but work also needs to be..."

David suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Garrett, and said, "I'm a young man in love, you understand? I'll be thirty in four years, and there are many things I need to accomplish in these four years, including having a child. Time waits for no one."

Hearing David's explanation, Garrett was almost on the verge of breaking down. Why did David have to come up with such a ridiculous excuse? But since he was his boss, he could only resign himself and say, "Alright, the meeting will be moved to tomorrow."

David smiled with satisfaction, turned around, and started packing up to leave the company and pick up his beloved girlfriend.

Upon arriving at the gate of Ivywood University, David parked the car in the shade.

At that moment, the window beside him was knocked on twice. David turned to see Alice, looking puzzled.

After opening the car door to let her in, Alice asked, "Why didn't you tell me before you came?"

As he helped her with the seatbelt, David replied with a smile, "I wanted to give you a little surprise."

Then the two drove away from the campus towards home.

Once inside, Alice knelt on the sofa, her hands clinging to the back of it, watching David busy in the kitchen. "Not working late today?"

"Because of someone, I got a nosebleed and had to come back early to recover." David took some ingredients out of the fridge and started preparing them, then he made something that looked very nutritious for Alice.

Alice felt that David was deliberately getting back at her.

While drinking coffee, David casually brought up the previous topic. "What did you mean by the message you sent me? Does it mean we can..."

Alice blushed and said, "It's still daytime!"

David didn't care, squinting his eyes and saying slowly, "What if I draw the curtains?"

Faced with such shamelessness, Alice could only reluctantly agree.

After lunch, the two went into the bedroom. With the door and curtains closed, the room fell into darkness.

David pounced on Alice, starting to kiss her body passionately.

Even though it wasn't their first time, Alice remained extremely shy, her entire body burning with heat as she writhed and panted softly.

"Be gentle," Alice whispered.

David regained some composure and he became less reckless. He slowly undressed Alice, and their naked bodies intertwined on the bed.

They made love for a whole hour.

After that, both were exhausted but felt incredibly fulfilled and happy.

David thought, 'Sex really is a physically and mentally pleasurable activity!'

After resting in each other's arms for a while, David went to take a shower first.

While Alice chose to take a bath. Only by soaking leisurely in the bathtub could she relieve her fatigue.

After her bath, she put on her clothes, wrapped her wet hair in a towel, and was about to leave when she noticed a red mark on her neck in the mirror.

She was stunned for a moment, then she realized that there was a deep-colored, large hickey on her neck.

Alice was speechless! David was too careless, leaving such a big hickey on her neck. How was she supposed to explain it to others?

When Alice found David, he was cooking steak. David smiled at Alice and said, "You go rest. I'll bring the steak to you when it's done!"

Alice didn't listen to him and directly pushed open the kitchen door.

David frowned and was about to speak when Alice turned off the stove and pointed to the hickey on her neck, "Tell me, what should I do?"

David finally noticed the big hickey.

David licked his lips, gently touched the hickey, and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"

Alice shook her head. "It doesn't hurt; that's not the point. I have class tomorrow. What if my classmates see it?"

David, while pushing her out, laughed and said, "It's not a big deal. Just take a day off!"

With that, the kitchen door was closed.

Alice stood there dumbfounded. He had always admonished her against skipping classes before.

She angrily went upstairs, took out her phone, and posted a feed: [You can't trust a man's words!]

Comments quickly flooded in. Esme: [I knew David was unreliable!]

James: [Haha, what did my brother do this time?]

Alice forgot to block David from seeing the feed, so David saw the post while eating.

Seeing Alice's resentful look, he smiled wryly and promised her, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to make the hickey disappear quickly!"

After dinner, Alice went to her room to play games, and David sat in the study, thinking of ways to make the hickey disappear.

He sent a message to James.

David: [How can I make a hickey fade quickly?]
