Chapter 291 I Just Want a Little Bit
They found a nearby café and had just sat down when Josephine blurted out, "I'm sorry."
Stuart looked confused. "Why are you apologizing?"
"I misunderstood you last night," Josephine explained. "You said it was Alfonso who did it. Why would he do something like that?"
Stuart shrugged. "Why he did it doesn't matter anymore. What matters is that you're okay and you didn't misunderstand me."
Since breakfast, his eyes had been glued to her, intense and eager.
Josephine turned away. "Do you have any proof? What he did is illegal, right?"
Stuart asked, "You wanna get the cops involved?"
Josephine hesitated. "I'm not sure if he's pulled this off before or if other girls have been messed up by him."
"Don't worry, he hasn't," Stuart assured her. "I've checked everything. If you want to call the police, I can provide evidence."
Josephine sighed. "This kind of drug shouldn't even be out there."
"Yeah," Stuart agreed. "He had someone get it for him, which is illegal. But he didn't assault you afterward, so he might not get convicted."
"But he needs to be taught a lesson," Josephine insisted. "People need to know what kind of person he is."
"Alright," Stuart said, realizing he hadn't thought of that angle. He'd only been focusing on hitting the Campbell family financially. "Do you need my help?"
Josephine asked, "Would you help me?"
"Of course!" Stuart replied quickly.
Josephine added, "No payment?"
"I don't need any payment!" Stuart said, looking a bit embarrassed. "Just a little bit, is that okay?"
Josephine frowned. "One moment you're against it, the next you're for it. Make up your mind. That's not cool."
Stuart got nervous. "What's wrong?"
Josephine looked at him. "You didn't assault me, but you know what you did."
They were in a private room, so they didn't have to worry about anyone overhearing.
Stuart didn't get it right away, so he asked with a look of complete bewilderment. "What did I do?"
Josephine felt her anger rise when he didn't own up to it.
Just broaching the topic made her cheeks flush. Did she really have to spell it out?
But Stuart kept pressing. "Tell me, what did I do?"
Josephine was furious, glaring at him. "Who took off my clothes? And the kiss marks on my body, were they left by someone else?"
She had checked in the bathroom. Stuart hadn't gone too far, only leaving a few kiss marks on her neck and collarbone.
But he had taken off her clothes, so he must have seen everything.
They weren't even friends now, yet Stuart showed no restraint.
Was there really no other way to handle her condition yesterday?
Handing her over to Laura would have been fine.
Her angry look seemed particularly lively to Stuart.
His Adam's apple bobbed as he recalled the scene of her passionately clinging to him last night.
Honestly, it had been very hard for him to hold back.
He had only taken off her clothes and left a few kiss marks, which was already a lot of restraint.
When his large hands slid over her skin, Stuart even thought, 'Even if I die, I can't hold back any longer!'
But in the end, he did hold back.
He even wondered if he had lost his desires from being celibate for too long.
Later, when he saw he still had a reaction, he was relieved.
He had endured so much, and in the end, he didn't have sex with Josephine. She didn't praise him, and now she was even holding him accountable.
Stuart felt a bit wronged.
"You could have taken me to the hospital or handed me over to Laura, but you didn't," Josephine calmly listed his offenses. "Besides the kiss marks, I don't know if you touched me elsewhere."
He hadn't touched her at all!
Just a few kisses had been enough to almost break his self-control.
If he had touched her elsewhere, could he have resisted making love?
He wasn't impotent!
Facing the woman he loved, and with Josephine being so passionate yesterday, it would have been strange if he could hold back!
"In that state, how could I take you to the hospital!" Stuart felt extremely wronged. "Laura wouldn't work either. Only I could see you like that."
His final words were muttered, and Josephine didn't catch them clearly.
"What?" Josephine asked, puzzled. "What state was I in?"
Stuart regretted not documenting her condition to vindicate himself.
Plus, he could replay it as needed in the future.
After all, it was the first time he had seen Josephine like that.
"You took that aphrodisiac," Stuart responded. "Can you imagine how you were acting?"
Josephine's cheeks felt burning hot, and she turned her face away. "I don't believe it!"
She had assumed that even with the aphrodisiac, she would only feel a bit uncomfortable at most. What else could have happened?
Stuart, in his anxiety, blurted out, "You were all over me, clinging to my neck, rubbing against me. I couldn't push you away."
Upon hearing this, Josephine felt a profound sense of shame. Even in their marriage, she had never been so passionate.
In a panic, she stood up, reached out, and quickly covered Stuart's mouth. "Don't talk nonsense!"
Stuart instinctively grabbed her wrist.
Josephine regretted reaching out as soon as she did. She wanted to pull back, but it was too late.
Stuart held her hand and even licked her palm with his tongue.
In the moment Josephine was stunned, he pulled her over, and she somehow ended up sitting in his lap.
Stuart immediately wrapped his other arm around her slender waist.
It had been over five years since Stuart had been this close to her.
Now, with Josephine in his arms, her familiar scent filled his nostrils.
Stuart's Adam's apple bobbed as he pulled her hand down. "Josephine."
His voice was low and husky, a tone Josephine was very familiar with. In the past, when they made love, he would call her name like this in the heat of the moment.
Josephine felt her throat tighten, her mouth dry, and her heart race, but her first instinct was to get up.
Stuart, however, held her tightly.
No matter what happened yesterday, it was when Josephine was not in her right mind.
Even if Stuart had sex with her, it wouldn't compare to a simple kiss when both were fully conscious!
Now, Stuart stared at her luscious, moist red lips, his breathing heavy.
He couldn't hold back any longer and cupped the back of Josephine's head, kissing her directly on the lips.
Josephine felt a buzzing in her head.
First, she hadn't believed Stuart dared to do that.
Second, she couldn't lie to herself; she still felt something from Stuart's kiss.
When he kissed her, Josephine felt a tingling sensation deep inside, making her whole body go weak.
But soon, her rationality took over, and she pushed Stuart away forcefully.
