ter 364 Ivanâs senses and self-control were totally crushed by intense visual attraction and uncontrollable desire.
Over the years, he has never had feelings for any woman, Ironically, he is 28 this year, but has never been intimately involved with a woman. Not even a first kiss. So how could he withstand such temption?
This person in front of him, was the one who had been hidden deep in his heart for twenty years.
Ivan was trembling all over. Every move Mamie made seemed to be taking his life.
Here was the high floor of the building. Next to it, an entire wall was a floor-to-ceiling window. The curtains were not drawn.
Moonlight was sprinkled on the floor.
The moon was bright, the room was beautiful..............
After Agnes retumed, she was still a bit uneasy. But at least she had handed Mamin over to Ivan herself. As long as Mamie was with Ivan, no matter what happened, Agnes thought she didnât have to worry too much When Agnes returned to the hotel, Jared hadnât returned yet. He had started to get busy again. Sometimes he came back even later than Agnes. When Jared returned, Agnes had just finished her bath, Seeing his tired look, Agnes felt sorry for him: âWhy donât you just stay at the Grandeur Mirage Manor, it takes you nearly an hour to drive here every time.â Jared had come to S City to help Alyssa morganize the new company. But it took an hour to get there from here.
Agnes felt a twinge of guilt for the time Jared had spent on the journey. But before she could dwell on it, Jared, fresh from his trip, enveloped her in a warm embrace. Fresh from her bath, her calming scent filled the air. Jared buried his face in her damp hair, his voice muffled, âYouâre trying to send me away already?â She wanted to explain she was only concerned for him, but he playfully continued, Iâll head back soon then, just as you want.â
Laughing, Agnes nudged him. âYouâre acting like a child, Jared. Of course I want you here. Iâm just worried about you being exhausted. Why must you be so dramatic?â
He quirked an eyebrow, his lips twitching into a smirk. âReally now?â
âOf course itâs true.â
âSo, you donât want to part with me.â
Agnes hugged Jaredâs waist, âOf course I donât want to part with you, my heart ached when I heard you were leavingâ
Jared nodded satisfied: âDonât worry, Iâll come and see you once every three days after I go back.â
Agnes was shocked. He wasnât afraid of getting sick from all the airplane rides, right?
âYou really donât need to strain yourself like this, Agnes began, her voice soft with concern. âWith your packed schedule, perhaps we could meet once a month?â
âOnce a month?â Jaredâs voice cooled noticeably.
Panicking a little, Agnes hurriedly suggested, âMaybe every two weeks? Or weekly?â
Jaredâs expression grew even more stern. âSo, you donât want to see me?â
âItâs not that. I just worry about you stretching yourself too thin, Agnes explained.
âI can work while Iâm on the plane,â Jared said, his voice even âWeâll do it this wayâ
Recognizing his resolute stance, Agnes refrained from further protest, fearing she might inadvertently upset him. Instead, she tiptoed to plant a gentle kiss on his cheek. âDarling, youâre too good to me.â
Jared, gazing intently at her radiant face, murmured. âJust remember that.â Even a brief three-day separation from her made him restless.
