Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 3043

Mr. Longbottom’s expression still did not seem right. Upon sensing that, Carrie blamed herself. “It’s my fault for not mastering how to change my voice yet. It’s a given that she’ll suspect me after hearing my voice.

“I endured all her taunts. I didn’t lash out at her.”

Camryn must have been testing her earlier.

“Your self-control is still lacking.”

Mr. Longbottom said coldly, “If the bodyguards didn’t call you to go home, you would have exposed yourself.”

Carrie wanted to defend herself, yet words did not come to her when she met his cold stare.

She felt satisfied watching Sally humiliate Camryn.

Camryn’s words had infuriated Carrie as well. Carrie almost could not hold back from hitting Camryn.

That blind woman always managed to get on her nerves.

After a moment, Carrie said softly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Longbottom. I didn’t do well enough.”

Mr. Longbottom watched her for a moment. His voice relaxed, and he said, “I can’t blame you. You’re still young, and your personality is fixed. Old habits die hard. You achieving this much in such a short time is good enough.”

Carrie thought, ‘That’s right. How can you have such high expectations of me?’

She was used to being spoiled by her parents and had always done whatever she wanted.

Carrie only experienced the harsh reality after spending time in prison.

She knew her personality was not the best, and she often got into trouble because of it.

She still managed her temper for some time after getting out of jail.

However, she gradually went back to her former self as time passed.

As Mr. Longbottom mentioned, old habits were difficult to change.

“Did your phone ring?” he suddenly asked.

Carrie quickly looked at her phone. She replied, “There are no missed calls. My phone never rang during the banquet as well.”

He would torture her as he liked without a hint of affection.

Carrie was young and inexperienced in relationships. Nevertheless, she heard someone saying that if a man truly loved a woman, he would cherish her instead of tormenting her.

“Go upstairs and take a bath,” said Mr. Longbottom.

Carrie complied. She went upstairs cautiously.

When would such days end?

Carrie returned to her room and took a hot shower. She exited the bathroom wearing her sleepwear and saw Mr. Longbottom half-naked on her bed. It was obvious that he had been waiting for her.

His “torture” session was about to start again.

Carrie felt irritated. She could hardly rest whenever he came over.

The older man’s stamina was too good.

Despite his age, he could make her unable to get up from bed the next day.
