Chapter 188 – His Second Chance Love: The Freezing Silence

I mumbled, “A few glasses, I think.”

Frankly speaking, I was not good at seducing men, and foreplay always wore me out. I just wanted to hit the bullseye.

His breathing grew heavier as he pulled me closer to him. “So are you planning to give up?”

I shook my head and changed my position.

While he was enjoying the time of his life, I took the opportunity and asked, “Featherstone Corporation has HiTech now, so how about OrbitTech…”

“Nope. No OrbitTech!” He instantly turned rough.

I looked up at him with a scowl, reached for the phone, and passed it to him. “Call Joseph now!”

He stopped what he was doing and gazed into my eyes. “You really think you can make me do things just by offering me your body?”

I did not know what to say. But I knew he was not happy about it.

I bit my lips. “You promised to support me in everything I do.”

He took over the phone with a smirk and gave Joseph a call.

It took Joseph quite a while to answer the phone. Anthony then said to him in a cold voice, “Do not follow up on OrbitTech’s case anymore!”

He ended the call, threw the phone aside, and went straight to the shower.

It was either I was too drunk or simply relieved that I had one less problem to worry about. Nonetheless, I fell asleep almost instantly.

By the time Anthony got out of the shower, I was already sound asleep. But he was not ready to call it a day.

He thought he could torture me the whole night by staying on top of me almost every hour. But jokes on him as I had already transported myself to a faraway dreamland.

My head hurt the moment I opened my eyes the next morning. It must be due to all the drinks I had last night. I raised my hands and clenched my fists to wake myself up.

Since I had to make a trip to the White Corporation, I had to freshen up and start organizing some documents. Yet when I tried getting out of bed, I realized someone still had his grip on my wrist.

Anthony was still asleep, and the stubble on his chin made him look even more appealing.

I could not stop myself from reaching for the sexy stubble. It was soft to the touch, but at the same time, it was also kind of prickly.

Under the dimmed light in the room, his facial features became even more prominent. Upon noticing someone was touching him, he woke up with a start and looked at me with his sleepy eyes.

With a deep growl, he asked, “Do you want more?”

I immediately retracted my hand. He then sat up, exposing some scratches on his abs.

Yes, I was the one who scratched him last night.

Anthony raised his brows after noticing I was staring at his body. “Someone has gone pretty wild last night.”

Now that the alcohol’s effect had mostly worn off, my mind became much clearer. “I wouldn’t have done this to you had you behaved well last night.”

He chuckled. “Oh? So do you want to go for another round?” He leaned forward and gave me a peck on my forehead, “You’re my wife, and I’m your husband. Ask me if you have any doubts, and don’t let rumors get to you. Okay?”

I nodded and gently pushed him away. “Alright, alright, that’s enough. I need to go to the office today, so give me a break.”

He could not help but laugh upon hearing what I said. Right after flipping the blanket over, he kept staring at my thighs for quite some time.

Initially, I thought he was aroused but soon realized he was staring at the red patches on my thighs.

He lifted his head and looked at me. “Does it still hurt?”

I shook my head. “Nope.”

“Just stay home and rest today.”

I refused. “I’m fine. I have to get back to the office to settle some work today.”

A sudden frown warped his face. He was apparently unhappy with my answer but held back his anger. “I’ll drive you!”

Since Anthony had made a compromise, I should too. I nodded and accepted his offer.

He parked his car outside White Corporation and immediately became the center of attention when employees walked in and out of the building.

When I was about to get out of the car after unfastening the safety belt, I realized the car was locked. I tilted my head and gave Anthony a stare. “Open the door!”

A sharp glint appeared in his eyes for a brief moment as he pressed his lips and looked at me. “So, you’re just going to leave like that?”

At first, I did not understand what he wanted, but as soon as he pointed at his cheek, I knew he was asking for a kiss.

“We’re in public, for goodness sake!” It was extremely inappropriate to display affection in front of so many people!

A corner of his mouth quirked up. “We’re married, so it’s normal for a wife to give her husband a goodbye kiss.”

Now was not the right time or place to argue with him on this topic.

Instead of starting a fight with him, I leaned forward and gave him a kiss on his cheek. All of sudden, he winded down the window and kissed me on my lips. “Oh yes. Sweet!”

I got out of the car and tried to control my anger.

As I was walking toward the entrance, I bumped into Marcus.

He had been standing outside the entrance. I bet he must have seen what Anthony did to me in the car, especially after Anthony winded down the window for the whole world to see.

His expression changed, and I could tell he was shooting daggers at Anthony. In spite of that, I went up and greeted him as if nothing ever happened, “Good morning!”

He bit lips and gradually turned his attention to me. “Hey.”

Once we got into the elevator, he gave me a document. “Take a look at some information about OrbitTech. Our chances are slim as both John and Anthony have their eyes on this company too.”

I nodded and took over the document. “What are our chances if they decide to give up on OrbitTech?”

He paused for a moment and frowned, “Have you talked to them?”

I responded with a nod. Once we stepped out of the elevator, I said, “One of them is my brother, and the other person is my husband. I guess luck is on my side.”

“If only things are as simple as you thought.” Marcus let out a cold snort.

We did not dwell on this topic after that. I went to my office and studied the document he gave me.

At noon, Sally came to my office. “We need to talk.”
