Never had she considered forgiving him. In other words, she had reminded herself never to forget the humiliating past. There could be no future for their relationship if she stubbornly clung to the past.
“Lyse, this has nothing to do with Liana or anyone else. I just-” he began to explain himself.
“Enough,” she cut him off coldly and opened the door. “Don’t read too much into this. I allowed you in here because I know you well. You’ll never leave Rose’s studio today without achieving your goal, and I don’t want to trouble Rose.”
His face darkened as he stared at her lonely figure.
She had only let him into the studio because she was pressed for time. She was busy with hotel business during the day and could only work on Lyla’s dress at Rose’s studio in the evening.
She picked up an exquisite crystal hair clip from the table. Tossing her hair coolly, she fashioned her hair into a bun.
His tender gaze remained fixed on her, and his fingers moved unconsciously. He had an irresistible urge to touch her thick, dark, and luscious hair.
They had once shared a bed as newlyweds. Back then, Alyssa always tossed and turned in her sleep, and
Jeremy was relieved and grateful. He tried to suppress his joy but failed. He hurried after Alyssa.
In the background, Xavier wore a broad, mischievous grin, thoroughly enjoying the sight of Jeremy’s humility before Alyssa.
With no way to prevent Jeremy from entering, Rose redirected her ire toward Xavier. She shot him a fierce glare and hissed, “You wait out there. Jeremy Walsh’s staff is not permitted inside!”
Jeremy caught up to Alyssa as fast as he could. Despite that, she did not once turn around to look at him.
He didn’t manage to get her attention even once.
Nonetheless, it was a significant step forward that she let him stay. He clung to this glimmer of hope, fully committed to winning her heart.
As they approached the studio’s entrance, Alyssa suddenly stopped without facing him. He began, “Lyse, I
“When have I allowed you to address me as ‘Lyse”?”
“A family member I know is celebrating her birthday soon. I’d like Sharon to design a dress as a gift to that family,” Jeremy responded with a hint of discretion in his voice.
He was keeping his surprise gift for Lyla a secret from Alyssa.
Despite his good intentions, Alyssa took it the wrong way. She smirked at him and said, “Oh, right. I forgot that Her Royal Highness Mrs. Walsh is celebrating her birthday this weekend. I assume you’re trying to win your dad’s favor by sending her a gift. How considerate of you.”
“Alyssa Taylor,” he warned her with a frown. He didn’t mind a bit of teasing, but he didn’t want to be misunderstood.
“When you contact Sharon, please don’t mention that the dress is a birthday gift for Sophia Kirkman. I’m worried she might give you a good scolding.” Alyssa retorted and angrily turned her back to him.
Then, she added, “Are you finished? If you are, please leave. You’re distracting me while I’m working- Ouch!” In a moment of distraction, she accidentally pricked her finger with a needle and gasped in pain.
“What’s wrong? Are you hurt?” He marched up to her and worriedly held her hand. A drop of blood appeared on her fingertip.
He furrowed his brows and felt the pain as though he was the injured. He commented, “That must have hurt.”
“Let go,” she told him and struggled to free her hand, but she failed. More blood started oozing out from the wound like a blooming rose. Tears welled up in his eyes, and suddenly, he gathered courage and put her finger into his mouth.
“You-” Her pupils shifted uneasily as her heart raced. She felt her index finger wrapped in a damp but warm sensation.
When he sucked on her finger, she felt a jolt of electricity swiftly spreading through her body. Slowly, her breathing grew uneven, and her fingers started trembling in his warm mouth.
Feeling her quiver, he narrowed his eyes and gently sucked on her finger rhythmically. As their gazes locked, her body went limp, and her mind drifted into a hazy reverie.
His passionate eyes reflected the same intense gaze he had given her on that moonlit, drizzling night at the mountain. They didn’t even cross a line, but it felt that they had reached a home run.
His breathing quickened, and the temperature around them rose.
“That’s enough!” She panicked, raising her voice and hastily withdrawing her hand from his grasp. She stumbled backward, only to find herself pulled into a hug.
There was an alarmed look in her eyes. She gasped, “Jeremy, what do you want to do to me?”
His heart raced as he stared into her eyes. Their bodies pressed against each other, close enough to feel.
each other’s heartbeat and warmth.
“Alyssa, I want to kiss you,” he admitted honestly, his eyes filled with lust.
She felt her heart skipped a beat. Gritting her teeth, she spat, “Dream on-
He sealed her mouth with a kiss, his tongue forcing its way into her mouth and silencing her. They fell deeper and deeper into the kiss…
The setting sun bathed Alyssa and Jeremy in a radiant golden hue, their figures entwined beneath the glass windows.
It was a breathtaking spectacle. The fading sunlight felt as tender as the kiss they had just shared.
The kiss left her feeling a bit giddy, a sensation that was electrifying and momentarily immobilizing.
Initially, she punched at his chest and shoulders, but over time, her strength waned. His masculine charm left her breathless, and her legs went weak.
She found herself gradually retreating until he pressed her against a table, causing the items on it to scatter to the floor.
In the midst of making out, she let out a moan that seemed both like a protest and a plea.
Jeremy was incredibly turned on by the sight, and he blushed all the way to the tip of his ear. An unprecedented burning feeling engulfed him as if she had lit a fire on his body.
At that moment, he made an unspoken promise to himself that Alyssa was the only woman he would ever kiss in such a manner. Furthermore, he vowed that he would never share such a kiss with another woman in his lifetime.
“Madam!” The clueless Rose called out to Alyssa and thoughtlessly barged into the studio. Her jaw fell to the floor when she ran into the racy scene, causing her to cover her mouth in shock.
Soon, she let out a scream that would pierce the roof. “Jeremy Walsh, what are you doing to Madam, you pervert? Let go of her!”
Meanwhile, Alyssa’s half-closed eyes were now wide open. In a sudden, heart-pounding realization, she abruptly pushed him away, the action punctuated by a resounding slap across his face.
The slap’s echoing impact reverberated through the room, and Jeremy’s left cheek immediately swelled, leaving Rose staring at them in utter shock.
Despite the burning sensation on his cheek, Jeremy wore a self-satisfied grin. Were it not for his striking. good looks, people might have labeled him a pervert..
“Jeremy Walsh, get the fuck out! Right now! I don’t want to see you ever!” Alyssa growled. She was blushing from the kiss and tearing up. Even the corners of her lips were red and swollen from their
Intimate moment.
His smile deepened. How could she ask him to leave when the evidence of their passionate kiss still
“Get lost!” Alyssa yelled again, her chest heaving with humiliation.
“Alright, I’ll catch up with you when you have some free time.”
She was baffled by his response. What was he talking about? She never said she wanted to meet up!
After giving her a meaningful glance, he reluctantly walked out of the door. As he passed Rose, she caught a whiff of the fresh pine scent on his body, leaving her stunned. By the time she snapped back to reality, he had vanished.
“Madam! H-How are you feeling?” Rose rushed to support Alyssa, whose legs felt weak. She was seething with anger and on the verge of crying.
Rose suggested, “Madam, your ex-husband is behaving like an animal! It’s clearly harassment. We should report him to the police.”
Alyssa placed a trembling hand over her racing heart and sighed. She reassured Rose, ‘I’m fine. I’ll take it as being bitten by a wild beast.”
Rose was taken aback by the response. She sensed something wasn’t right from how Alyssa avoided her gaze. She hugged Alyssa and said, “Madam, please be honest with me. Have you truly moved on from him?”
“I have moved on,” Alyssa replied without thinking and hugged Rose back.
She continued, “If I don’t move forward after the divorce, what does that say about me? For 13 years, I left him, I won’t make the same mistake again. didn’t treat myself right because of him. But now that i
It’s time to focus on the future.”
Rose sighed, her eyes misty as she could see the pain in Alyssa’s heart from the way Jeremy had treated her. Healing would be a long, arduous journey.
“Exactly! We must look ahead to the future. A smart woman does not blindly fall in love!” Rose concurred and patted Alyssa on the shoulder.
She playfully chirped, “Madam, let’s have a feast tonight and enjoy some good wine. I think I’ll find your tragic love story quite entertaining.
“Oh, my love life is a complete mess. I cant even bear to recount it,” Alyssa replied with a smile and lifted her chin. “And you, Rose? You’re always swooning over attractive men. Any new romances to share?”
Rose scoffed, “What romance can I have? I spend my days designing clothes. I suppose I’m dedicating my life to my work.
