Chapter 580: Chapter 580

I stared at him blankly, at a total loss of how to react. “I can’t believe you actually did this. Did it never cross your mind that I might be sleeping with my mother, and you’d actually be sneaking into an empty room?”

“It’s fine. If that was really the case, then I would just have climbed back out of the window,” he stated, grinning widely as he came toward me. “I haven’t seen you for ages. You moved out right after I returned. I became so lonely that I had to come up with a way by myself to reunite with my queen.”

“Your queen?” I punched him on the chest playfully. “How I wish I were an actual queen! Then I would get to do as I please, and no one would be able to stop me.”

“Well, I just missed you so much I couldn’t bear to be away from you for another second, hence this secret rendezvous. Surely you feel the same way, don’t you? Please say you do, or you’ll be breaking my heart,” he pleaded as he clutched his chest and put on a forlorn expression.

“If you really don’t wish to see me, then I’ll just leave,” he said, walking to the window and pretending as if he was indeed about to climb out.

Rolling my eyes at him, I hurriedly pulled him back into the room. “You know full well how I feel. Don’t you dare step out of that window now, or I’ll never talk to you ever again.”

He then pulled me into his embrace and pressed his lips onto mine, giving me a kiss that was somehow both forceful and tender at the same time. After having been through such a terrifying event together, we were both filled with nothing but an overwhelming desire to hug each other tightly. It was only by feeling each other’s warmth and breath that we could finally find our peace again.

“I’ve missed you so much, Chris. I really have. When I got to know that something bad happened to you, the only thought that came into my mind was that if you couldn’t be found, then I wouldn’t want to live anymore either.” I gazed at him with reddened eyes and added softly, “Don’t you think I’m stupid? I’m nothing but a fool.”

“No, you’re not stupid at all. If it were not for the very the fact that you’re smart, we would inevitably have died in that place.” He planted his lips on mine again, simultaneously sweeping me into his arms and carrying me to the bed. His kisses remained relentless even as his fingers busied themselves with unbuttoning my blouse.

Nestled in his arms, I went along with him and began undoing the buttons on his shirt as well. Warmth and strength radiated from his being as our bodies pressed together, and a sigh of contentment escaped my lips.

“Chris, let’s never separate, okay? I can’t bear worrying about you again. I’m so afraid, Chris. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to live without you!”

“Okay, then let’s never be apart!” Forcefully thrusting into me, he landed a bunch of kisses on my lips while repeatedly calling out my name, “Eve… Oh, Eve…”

Although our behavior was wild, we were cautious to keep our voices low the whole time. With our bodies joined, it was as though we had melded together into one.

Just as we were getting lost in the moment, there were suddenly footsteps outside the room, followed by the sound of someone knocking on the door. I almost jumped out of my skin in fright.

Isabelle’s voice rang out. “Eve? Why did you disappear? Have you come back to your own room now?”

Pushing Christopher’s face away, I cleared my throat before answering in a soft tone, “I’m asleep, Mom.”

“Silly girl. Were you uncomfortable sleeping with me?” asked Isabelle with a soft chuckle, a hint of displeasure apparent in her voice.

Remembering that I had not locked the door when I came in earlier, I hurriedly answered her so that she would not barge in, “That’s not it, Mom. It’s just that with everything that’s been going on, I’ve been having trouble falling asleep lately and didn’t want to wake you up. Don’t get upset over this, okay?”

“Oh, I’m upset! I’m very upset indeed!” Isabelle answered jokingly. “Shall I come in to keep you company? We haven’t seen each other for a long time. I think it’s good time we talked.”

“No!” I yelled out just as Christopher pushed into me again. Fortunately, he was not too aggressive this time. However, upon seeing the glare I shot at him, he deliberately added more force to his actions. Annoyed, I tried kicking him away, but he swiftly grabbed my legs and lifted them, kissing the backs of my thighs fervently.
