Chapter 115 Sleeping Together

Chapter 115 Sleeping Together

Perhaps it was the years we spent together. Even though he knew I was Zoey, not Chloe, he could always replace something familiar about me.

It was almost as if, whenever he saw me with another non, it triggered his sense of pride as a man.

How amusing, really. In the past, he and Anna would hug and cuddle right in front of me.

They would always play the 'we're just like siblings card. I never called them out on it. But the moment [ showed even the slightest hint of dissatisfaction, they would accuse me of being perverse and shift all the blame onto me.

But now, Carter and I were legally married. It was more proper and legitimate than anything they'd ever had.

And here I was, wearing Chloe's face, teasing him-playing with his feelings just like he once did to me. I wanted hip to understand my pain, to feel what I'd feltall those years ago!

Carter wasn't a fool. Though he didn't push me away, I could tell he was tense, sensing something was off.

Lappreciated that he didn't push me away. That in itself was enough.

Luke, suppressing the loneliness in his eyes, shot a questioning look at Carter. "I didn't know you two were so close. If I'm not mistaken, didn't Uncle Carter already have someone else in his heart? Seems like he's forgotten the old one so quickly." At this point, I realized just how thick-skinned Luke was. A man like him, with his history, had no right to judge anyone else.

When I saw Luke bullying Carter, I felt my anger rise to a boiling point.

Without hesitation, I plopped down on Carter's lap, wrapping my arms around his neck.

I buried my head in his shoulder, a flirtatious smile creeping across my face.

The moment I moved closer, I felt Carter stiffen, like an ice sculpture. His upper body was taur and he even hitched his breathing.

1, too, was nervous.

Though I had come to understand Carter's true nature-he was cold on the outside but warm at heart- there was still uncertainty. Would he throw me off? If he did, I'd end up embarrassed. Luckily, though his body was tense, he didn't push me away.

I grew bolder.

"Well, Carter's not a child. It's perfectly normal for him to have someone he likes. Since he chose to marry me, it means he's let go of the past. We're starting fresh I won't mind his past at all." Luke's words were clearly aimed at me. His own marriage was a disaster, and he was jealous of Carter. He wanted to drag everyone down with him.

1 nuzzled Carter again and asked, "I love him the most. Luke, still not leaving? You want to stay and watch our live broadcast?"

Luke clearly didn't expect me to remain unfazed by his remarks.

Not only did I not care, but my actions grew even more brazen.

When Luke finally left, closing the door behind him, I felt lighter, a wave of satisfaction washing over me.

It was nothing compared to the way he used to treat me. Not even one percent!

"Are you done?" Caume Carter's cool voice, and I finally realized I was still sitting on his lap.

"Sorry. Mr. Bolton." I quickly jumped off his lap.

Once Luke was gone, I stood up straight, hands by my sides, head down, like a child who had been sent to stand in the corner.

Carter studied me with a curious look before speaking. You seem to dislike Luke?"

I had been open about my feelings earlier, so there was no point pretending now.

"Yes, I can't stand a guy like him who abandons his wifeat the wedding. Who knows, maybe he already had someone else on the side. I'm not going to let him off the hook. Every time I see him, I'll give him a piece of my mind." I quickly added, "Well, Mr. Bolton, I just wanted to irritate him since he tried to sow discord between us. Please don't take it personally."

It's fine."

Carter waved it off, but I noticed his ears were flushed red. Whatever he said, he didn't seem entirely unaffected

Had he never been with a woman before? After all, he'd been around for a while.

I had barely nudged against him, and he seemed so innocent. Didn't he say he had someone he liked?

Seeing my puzzled expression, Carter furrowed his brow and asked, "Is there something else?"

Then I remembered the medical kit beside me. "Yes, needle therapy for you.

"You know how to do that?" He eyed me skeptically.

"Don't worry, everyone I've treated says it's good."

Who else have you treated?" His dark eyes bore into me.

I gave a casual smile. "No one. Just practicing. Come on let's see if you like it."

After some convincing, Carter lay down on the bed, and I gave him the needle.

His chest rose and fell steadily, and I thought maybe it was just exhaustion, not my needle causing it.

Carefully, I turned off the bedside lamp, ready to leave

But just as the lights dimmed, I felt a hand yank mine.

The grip was so strong, I was glad it wasn't the hand 1 had injured earlier, or I would have risked further injury.

He pulled me into his arms, his strong grip locking me in place. His hot breath brushed against my ear as he whispered, "Don't leave me."

His voice was muffled, and I realized he wasn't fully awake.

I instinctively tried to break free, but his arms around my waist were so tight, like stone.

Well, it was our wedding night. Considering his injury. I figured there wouldn't be any reactions.

I relaxed and closed my eyes, stopping my struggles so as not to wake him.

The next morning, as the first light of dawn crept in, I felt his arm around my waist move slightly

Still half asleep, I opened my eyes to replace myself face to face with Carter's cool gaze. I jolted awake, my heart racing.

We were in an incredibly intimate position. I was only wearing a nightgown, my chest exposed.

Carter wasn't much better off. His grey pajamas were wide open, revealing smooth, pale skin beneath.

My bare legs were wrapped around his waist, like an octopus with no space between us.

I realized my face was pressed against his chest. Our bodies were so close, it was as if we were a real married couple.

To make matters worse, his hand was still on my waist, and his warm palm seemed to set my body on fire.

"Mr. Bolton, last night

My voice trailed off as I distinctly felt something of his slowly waking up...
