Chapter 622

He couldn’t figure out why every time he embraced her, he felt incredibly grounded.

Be down–to–earth and satisfied.

They both used the same shower gel, so they had a similar scent on them. It wasn’t his first time being this close to

her. But this time, she had already divorced, and he had also divorced, so this sense of satisfaction was even

stronger.

As soon as Maja sat down, he began to undress her.

He put his agarwood bracelet back on.

She had a great figure but usually dressed very conservatively, so it was not noticeable.

Her figure, coupled with her beautiful face, made lan very satisfied, but he was reluctant to admit it.

The night was deep, and the lights in the room were bright.

In the living room, the man held the woman. Because he was too tall, she looked petite sitting on his lap.

He kissed her for a long time, then looked up, a glint in his eyes.

His gaze struck Maja, and she didn’t dare to look at him, turning her head to look at the lights outside the window.

“Penny, does your family treat you well?”

If they truly cared for her, they wouldn’t have let her marry a man like Nathan, right?

It was the first time he wanted to know about her family.

Maja stiffened, then slowly relaxed.

“It’s okay.”

“So there are bad parts?”

“Mr. Raymond, when I want to tell you, I’ll tell you.”

lan suddenly picked her up and headed for the bedroom.

Maja struggled, “Didn’t we agree not to do it?”

“I just want you to lay with me.”

“Can you resist not doing it?”

It was like when a man said he would just rub a bit, and nothing would happen.

This was simply a man’s lie.

He looked down at her, seeing the fear in her eyes. He held her even tighter.

“I won’t do it.”

Maja didn’t want to argue with him. When he put her on the bed, she instinctively rolled to the other side.

lan turned off the bedroom light, but the bedside lamp was still on, and he lay down on the other side.

She thought he would make a move on her, but he fell asleep quickly after lying down.

She couldn’t sleep, and turned around to look at him.

He seemed to be in a bad mood tonight but was hiding it.

Maja turned her back to him, not looking at him, thinking it had nothing to do with her.

But the next second, she felt his chest against her back, his hands around her waist, pulling her into his arms.

Maja didn’t speak, and she suddenly felt he might have something on his mind.

She knew Selena and Steve were not good parents, and Edith was extraordinarily biased.

lan’s childhood must have been lonely, and as for his brother, his reputation was excellent in everyone’s mind,

which made him live in his brother’s shadow.

The only affection he had ever experienced came from his grandfather, so he compromised three years ago.

But Maja still had questions.

“Mr. Raymond, why did you get involved with Carlene in the first place?”

He could now look at the Shepard family with cold eyes, which meant he didn’t really love Carlene.

She thought lan was already sound asleep and wouldn’t respond, but a few minutes later, he calmly said, “I wanted

to surpass my brother in something. He liked Carlene.”

“Did you really never sleep with her?”

lan’s fingers began to wander around her waist.

“Being with her was an impulse at that time. I thought since we had established a relationship, I should be good to

her. But whenever I wanted to kiss her, I thought of my brother, and I couldn’t go on and gave up.”

After all, that was the woman Eric liked. If he did anything excessive, it would feel uncomfortable.

He just wanted to win once, that was his simple thought at the time.

lan was explaining to her.

“I didn’t sleep with anyone else. Being able to sleep with you so many times surprised me.”

Maybe it was the atmosphere tonight, and he said what he had been reluctant to admit, “Penny, I’m not the type to

want to sleep with every woman I see.” She was an exception.

But he didn’t say this sentence, and it felt a bit awkward.

Indeed, actions speak louder than words.
