Chapter 223: Chapter 223

Dear Sweetheart Chapter 223 Let Someone Else Touch The woman’s passion and boldness were more than what James could handle. It took him a long time and effort before he managed to pull her away from him. “Stop fooling around in the elevator.”

“You’re a meanie, James Griffith! You ignored me for a month and didn’t answer any of my calls. Now, you’re even pushing me away?” Kristie furiously pulled herself away from his body and stomped out of the elevator.

This is absurd!

James hurriedly followed her and held her hand, but she shook his hand off. Left with no choice, he picked her up and explained in resignation, “There are cameras inside the elevator. People can see us.”

“Even I’m not afraid, so why are you scared?” Kristie was still angry. “Is your reputation more valuable than mine?”

“I’m just afraid I can’t hold myself back.”

Stunned by his response, she took a second to register his words. Then, she crimsoned and buried her face in his chest. “Don’t think I’ll forgive you just because you said that! You still ignored me for a month!” she complained petulantly.

A beat later, she pressed on, “What were you busy working on? Did any b*tches follow you? Why aren’t you talking? You’ve never missed me at all, right? It’s been over a month. Are you still mad at me? Say something, James! Don’t think I’m unaware of what you’re thinking!”

James stayed silent.

Overwhelmed by her nagging, he tossed her on the couch as soon as they entered the condominium. “Why are you overthinking so much? I was just busy with something!”

“I wasn’t by your side, so how would I know if you were alone?” Kristie responded as she grabbed his shirt and pulled him onto the couch. With a swift movement, she turned over and sat on him.

Like a puppy, she sniffed all over his body. Seemingly failed to capture any foreign scent, she finally smiled. “You’re lucky that there’s no scent of another woman on you!”

Kristie snuggled up to him, wanting to kiss him again.

“Let’s have our meal first.” James held her by her chin to stop her from getting closer. After being away for over a month, he could clearly feel that she had become a lot skinnier. “You haven’t been eating properly again, right?”

“The food I had outside wasn’t as delicious as your cooking.” Pouting, she looked at him pitifully. “We’ve been apart for a month.

Are you only going to make me have my meals when we’re finally meeting again?”

James could not stand her acting coy with him. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and he asked, “Aren’t you hungry?”

“I am. But you’re more attractive than food.” Kristie grabbed his fingers and kissed them lightly while staring at him with her bright, charming eyes. She looked innocent and alluring at the same time.

The young man’s breath quickened. He cupped the back of her head and kissed her fiercely. In response, she wrapped her arms around his neck and reciprocated his kiss passionately.

The atmosphere became more and more intimate.

Inadvertently, James glanced upward and noticed something glinting in the chandelier. At that discovery, he instantly grabbed a blanket and covered Kristie with it before pushing her away.

Kristie was shocked by his sudden movements. When she regained her senses, she saw him stepping on a chair to inspect the chandelier. By the time he stepped down from the chair, he had a black cube in his hand.

“What’s that?” she asked as she approached him curiously.

“A miniature camera.” James’ face was as black as thunder. Then, he switched off all the lights in the condominium and opened the application used to detect hidden cameras to scan through the entire space.

After conducting a thorough scan, he found cameras hidden in the living room and the bedroom but nowhere else. However, he also discovered a listening device planted in the hairdryer in the bathroom.

Kristie had a look of disgust on her face. “Whoever did this is such a pervert! I can’t believe they planted a listening device in the bathroom!”

James disassembled the camera and investigated the chip inside it. It was a special chip that allowed one to watch the footage from one’s phone as soon as the scene in the condominium was captured.

Clenching the chip in his hand, he asked Kristie, “Did someone come to this condominium recently?”

“The water heater in the bathroom malfunctioned two weeks ago, so I informed the management. Then, they sent a repairman to perform maintenance,” she answered while recalling the event. “By the way, the repairman looked extremely young. He has a clear and childlike voice too. But I was memorizing my script, so I paid little attention to him.”

“Have you been sleeping naked recently?”

“I only do so when I sleep with you,” Kristie replied smilingly, clinging to his arm like a koala. “Hugging you makes me feel safe.

Of course, I won’t sleep naked when I’m alone.”

“Everything’s fine, then.” James heaved a sigh of relief.

He was worried there would still be some undetected devices in Kristie’s condominium. Hence, he brought her downstairs to his previous condominium.

Even when they were taking the elevator, Kristie could not keep her hands to herself, reaching underneath his tracksuits naughtily. “Wow! Your muscles feel even more solid than before! Did you still hit the gym when you were busy with work?”

“Don’t act so lecherous. It’s not ladylike at all.”

“What do you mean? Did you build your body with intentions to let someone else touch you?” Kristie whined. The more he says no, the more I’ll touch him!

Hearing that, James gave up on arguing with her further, as he knew it was useless.

“This camera reminds me of something,” Kristie voiced after giving it some thought. “Recently, I always felt like someone was stalking me. Yet, there was no one behind me every time I turned around.”

“When did this begin?”

“Around a week prior to the water heater maintenance. The feeling remained even after I returned home in the evening.”

“What you felt was real. Someone was stalking you.” Usually, a person’s sixth sense would never go wrong. James’ expression became gloomy when the realization struck him. “I will find out who this person is.”

At that, Kristie’s eyes brightened. Nuzzling his chest, she asked, “Does this mean you won’t be busy anymore?”

“Mm-hmm.”

“Then I won’t rush to do anything with you tonight,” she said. “I have shooting tomorrow for the entire day, so I need to be in my best condition. Let’s wait after I’m done with work.”

James’ eyebrows twitched.

When Rayna woke up the next day, her morning was disrupted by the continuous ringing of the doorbell.

Despite her annoyance, she had no choice but to get changed and open the door. Her face darkened as soon as she saw Wyatt at the door. “It’s still so early, and you’re already here to meet Jessie? Why don’t you just live at our doorway?”

“I’ll make it up to you next time! It’s urgent!” He frantically entered the condominium and walked toward Jessica’s room. Then, he started knocking on the door.

“Are you awake, Jessie? Please open the door and listen to my explanation! Open the door, Jessie! Please!”

In the meantime, Rayna had brewed herself a cup of coffee and watched him rap on Jessica’s door like a madman while she leaned against the kitchen counter. Ten minutes had passed, but Jessica remained inside her room.

“Did you two break up?” Rayna asked.

Wyatt grabbed his hair out of frustration and said miserably, “It’s worse than a breakup.”

Just then, Jessica pulled the door open and exited her room. She merely shot him a glance before chasing him out without saying a word.

“Please listen to my explanation, Jessie! It wasn’t me who uploaded the video!” Wyatt tried his best to stay inside the condominium, yelling, “I deleted those videos and shut down those websites! Everything’s fine now!”

“Get lost! I don’t want to see you!” Seeing that he was unwilling to leave the condominium, Jessica grabbed a belt and whipped him with it. “We already broke up!”

Wyatt only had a thin shirt on, so he felt immense pain on his skin when being hit with a belt. “It really wasn’t me! Can’t you just give me a chance to change for the better?” he wailed in an aggrieved tone.

Her eyes were red-rimmed as she responded, “It happened at your place, so who else could be at fault? I’m sure you did immoral deeds like this many times in your previous relationships with other women!”

Wyatt raised his hand to swear. “I didn’t do it! I swear I’ll die a horrible death if I lied!”

“Get lost!”

“Jessie!” His voice eventually faded after he was locked outside the door.
