Chapter 103

Sighing with laughter, Kara studied her boss’ expression. “What for? They will think I’m a prostitute or a material woman who is after your wealth. Isabela or your grandfather will really kill me.”

“If you agree, I will launch my plan tomorrow. So, on that bastard’s wedding day, I can announce that you are the girl of my choice.”

However, Kara still shook her head. Her guts were no longer as big as they used to be. “Thank you for your good intentions, but no. I have absolutely no interest in putting on any kind of show.”

While pulling the blanket, Kara lay down again. “Now I’m very tired. Good night, Frank. Go back to your room.”

However, instead of leaving, the CEO still sat there, watching Kara force her eyes closed.

Not hearing the sound of the door, she peeked. “Why are you still here? I’m going to sleep.”

“Can I sleep with you?”

Kara stared wide eyed. She thought Frank would pressure her to accept the idea, but he didn’t?

“Do you forget? Louis’ room is not far from here,” Kara muttered wit a panicked expression.

Smiling faintly, Frank crawled up to the other side of the bed. “It’s okay. The children are tired of playing all day. They must be fast asleep. And I already took them to the toilet earlier. They’re all safe.”

“No!” Kara elbowed the arm that was about to wrap around her body.” My mother is here.”

“Your mother avoids the stairs. Besides, you’re an adult. There’s no way your mother will come here, check whether you’re asleep or not.”

Before Kara could argue any more, Frank quickly tucked himself into. the blanket and snuggled closer. “You said you were tired? Sleep,

Kara.”

“But-”

“Don’t think about anything, including what I said earlier. Just assume

I was rambling.” Frank pushed Kara’s forehead so that her head touched the pillow. “Sleep! We have to work tomorrow.”

“But this is my room. Why not sleep in your room? Isn’t the bed bigger?”

Suddenly, Frank covered Kara’s mouth with his. Receiving such a sudden attack, the woman widened her eyes. Her thoughts were immediately scattered.

“Sleep. Otherwise, another part of me might wake up.”

Kara blinked with her mouth still agape. Frank smiled slightly when he saw it. “Or, do you want me to continue?”

Without warning, Frank approached again. Before their lips met, Kara turned her back to him. “Sleep.”

Beneath her furrowed brows, her eyes were tightly shut. Her hands were clenched above her heart. Silently, she cursed herself, why her defense was so weak every time she faced Frank Harper.

‘Good, Kara. Sleep. Don’t think about that guy. Just me.’

Actually, that was Frank’s main goal in breaking in. He wanted to get rid of Finnic Miller completely from Kara’s heart-a heart that he was still having difficulty conquering.

“Good morning, Kara,” Frank whispered when the woman in front of him opened her eyes.

Kara frowned. She blinked several times before focusing on the handsome face in front of her. Since when were they facing each. other?

“Did you sleep well?” The man stroked her hair.

“What time is it?”

Kara was about to leave. However, Frank quickly restrained her.

“It’s still too early. There are still a few minutes for morning talk.”

“Morning talk?” Kara asked amused.

The man curled up the corners of his lips. “It’s not about office matters, but about us. So, what are your plans for today?”

Letting Frank stroke her cheek, Kara raised an eyebrow. “I’ll go to the office with you, while Mom and the twins go to the library. After work, we plan to check out the new apartment.”

A big smile rose on Frank’s face. He liked the words “with you” that come from those sweet lips.

“Then, you guys will come back here and have dinner with me?”

Kara nodded. “I think so.”

“And you will sleep with me again?”

Kara knitted her eyebrows together again, but the corners of her twitched, trying hard not to form a smile. “It’s still early, Frank. Thi straight.”

“What’s wrong with it? We just sleep together. Really sleeping.” The CEO shook his head as if it was no big deal. Kara could only laugh faintly.

“How long have you been awake?”

Frank glanced at the clock on the wall behind Kara’s back. “Ten minutes. But don’t worry. I’m not doing anything wrong. I just stroked your head. Shoulders down no. I’m that polite.”

Kara snorted. How could she believe that the Perverted Demon had repented?

“Do you know what I was thinking while looking at your beautiful face?” Frank’s voice captivated her ears again.

“What?”

Suddenly, the man’s expression turned sad. “I just realized that I don’t know you that well. I only know your basic information, but not your preferences. So, tell me. What was your favorite thing in the past?”

Frank emphasized the word “was”. That way, Kara would give

answers other than the children.

“In the past?” Kara started blinking, sorting through the memory. “I liked learning and trying new things.”

Frank’s eyebrows suddenly rose. He didn’t expect that answer. “What kind of new thing?”

“I like trying extreme sports. Paragliding, bungee jumping, diving, roc climbing. I also like joining various communities-arts community photography community, environmental concerns. As long as it’s positive, fun, and useful, I was in.”

“That means you’ve ever climbed a mountain and seen coral reefs?”

“Yes. I still remember how exciting those times were,” Kara answered with sparkling eyes. But slowly, the light faded. She realized that all of that was just a memory.

Frank didn’t like seeing that sweetness fading. “Is there something

“I want to take you there. It seems like it would make you happy.”

returned.

“I actually wanted to learn slacklining. I was curious about what it would feel like to walk on a rope. But, considering my physical condition and declining balance, I thought it would be too difficult. Balancing art and surfing seem to suit me better.”

Frank’s eyes widened. “You want to learn to stack rocks?”

“Why? It’s not as easy as you think, Mr. Harper,” Kara half laughed.

“It’s not the problem, but your answer is very difficult to predict. You never cease to amaze me, hmm?”

Seeing the admiration radiating from the CEO’s eyes, Kara blushed. There is nothing to admire about such a simple girl.”

However, Frank shook his head gently. While looking at her closely, he whispered, “You are not simple at all, Kara, but extraordinary. I guess that’s also the reason why day by day, my feelings for you are getting bigger.”

Kara’s heart almost skipped a beat. Before she failed to control it, she forced a laugh. “There’s no point in teasing me like that. I won’t give

up.”

“Is it true?” Suddenly, Frank’s gaze turned mischievous. Occasionally, he glanced at her. “Then, what about seduction? Aren’t you melting too?” He gave her a sweet kiss.

Kara couldn’t resist. Closing her eyes, she welcomed the touch and

bedroom door suddenly opened wide. There, Isabela stood with bulging eyes and clenched fists filled with hatred.
