Chapter 196
Half an hour later, Michael called Terrence back.
Mr. McConnell found out that Mrs. bought a ticket around 3
o’clock in the afternoon to go to Nimburg”
Did you go back to your hometown?
Yeah. Thanksgiving Day has arrived.
All her relatives are gone, she must have gone home to pay
respects to her ancestors.
Terrence drove onto the highway.
Two hours later, his car parked in front of Bethany’s old house.
and sure enough, the lights were on inside.
Terrence got off the car and knocked on the door.
Bethany didn’t expect Terrence to come over. She heard a knock
on the door and thought it was the neighbors. Just as she
opened the door, she met Terrence’s deep, bottomless eyes.
She hesitated for a moment, just realized she should close the door, but Terrence had already stepped in, grabbed her delicate
Chapter 196
wrist, and pinned her against the door.
Eye contact, Bethany’s pupils showed a look of resistance, while
he looked angry.
Bethany was about to struggle, Terrence’s mouth clamped
down on her jaw, and without a word, he kissed her directly.
Bethany arched her back, trying to push him away in
resistance. The old–fashioned door creaked as she struggled,
making a sound as it collided with the door frame.
The jarring noise made Terrence suddenly lose interest, so he let
go of her.
Bethany turned to the side, breathing heavily.
When she came to her senses, she glared angrily at Terrence,
raised her arm, and her hand was about to slap him in the face.
This time, Terrence firmly grabbed her hand, not giving her a
chance to strike.
“Are you addicted?”
She had no way out, she couldn’t speak, couldn’t resist him with
words, let alone match his strength!
Terrence grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards the house.
Chapter196
Before Bethany came back, the room was cleaned up and the
dust cover that was originally on the bed was put away by her.
Her home couldn’t compare to Terrence’s Vespera Villa, but this
little courtyard was her grandmother’s old house, a bit old-
fashioned, but her grandmother had a good eye for aesthetics,
and the layout of the house was well designed. Plus, Bethany
had come back before and decorated it carefully, making it very
cozy and homey.
Terrence didn’t mind the small house, in fact, he felt that once
inside, it calmed his restless heart quite a bit.
He let go of Bethany’s wrist and sat down on the sofa in the hall.
He raised his eyes and looked deeply at Bethany.
“Come over, let’s talk.”
Terrence didn’t see himself as an outsider at all.
Bethany raised her hand, looking displeased, “Other than
divorce, I have nothing to talk to you about.”
Terrence had just calmed down, and then she made him feel
really bad.
“Do you know women always threaten to divorce, which
Chapter196
annoys men a lot?”
“If you’re fed up, just leave.”
Bethany was more annoyed than him.
This marriage, it was a disaster.
He had a lifetime, but what about her?
Every minute, every second, was like a countdown for her.
She didn’t have time to waste with him anymore.
After the sacrifice tomorrow, she’s gonna head back to
Rivermond to find Ms. Guzman, get in touch with Davon again
ASAP, get the role, and settle in early.
She was pressed for time, and before she died, she still had many
things to do.
Terrence’s stable emotions were almost driven crazy by
Bethany.
He gritted his teeth and said calmly, “We agreed on this a month
ago, why are you causing trouble again?”
“Did you follow the agreement? How many times did you break
the rules?”
Chapter196
Even when angry, Bethany’s dancing fingers were still slender
and beautiful.
Terrence stared at her soft, boneless fingers, couldn’t help but
think of the sensation she brought every time she touched his
hard muscles.
They haven’t been intimate for a long time.
No thoughts at first, but once I started thinking, I couldn’t help
but want it a little.
He didn’t really want to force her.
Relationships between men and women are better when both
parties are willing.
He pursued high quality in both life and work, no exception.
Therefore, I didn’t want to have a big fight with her anymore.
The cold and stiff voice softened a bit, “Can’t I even kiss you? Is
that considered breaking the rules?”
Bethany raised her hand, “You broke both the first and fifth
rules.”
First, the man must not force the woman to fulfill marital
obligations.
Chapter196
Fifth, the man cannot publicly disclose his marital relationship
with the woman.
Terrence smirked and said, “You sure remember it well.”
That agreement, he just wanted to keep her stable, he never
intended to follow it.
Their relationship and everything between them, he called the
shots.
