As soon as John finished speaking, he removed the towel around his waist and pounced on Chloe.
Chloe was woken up by the heat.
When she opened her eyes, she realized how painful her whole body felt. A crystal lamp hung above her head and emitted a soft, yellow glow. The intricate patterns danced around under the light and it stung her eyes.
Where was she?
She tried to think as she shifted her gaze slowly.
What she saw were grandeur and opulence. The vintage, British-style decor oozed majesty. The Picasso oil paintings on the wall were made up of striking colors and prominent strokes which gave her the illusion that she was trapped in a bizarre dreamland.
She must be dreaming!
She closed her eyes and wondered. She wished that she would keep dreaming and never wake up.
She refused to wake up and face the cruel reality.
After some time, she heard some light footsteps and shuddered.
The bed sank slightly and she could sense someone lifting the blanket and lying down. Soon, she detected a cool, masculine scent and an arm closed in on her slim, naked body.
“Ah!”
Chloe screamed and opened her eyes.
The arm underneath the blanket stopped moving.
Following that, she heard the man’s rich, baritone voice. “You awake?”
Chloe turned towards him and was surprised by what she saw.
What a handsome young man!
He had a pair of seductive eyes, a high nose bridge, an angular jaw, and thin lips. The way he was leaning against the pillow lazily made him look sexy as hell!
Gradually, her gaze shifted downwards as she looked at his wide, bare chest and taut abs…
“Ah!”
She screamed again and covered her head with the blanket.
“Who, who are you? Why aren’t you wearing pants?!”
John raised an eyebrow.
Then, he replied calmly, “Why are you so surprised? Are you still afraid of looking at such things?”
What?
Chloe uncovered the blanket, revealing a pair of her dark, glossy eyes.
“Have, have we…”
John nodded.
Aaahhhh!
Chloe wanted to cry, but she could not do so.
There were some vague memories in her mind. She had an argument with Shania and she was slapped. She was also drunk at that time and was then taken away by the man.
‘Chloe, oh Chloe! How stupid can you be?! You’ve fallen into the same trap twice!’
Two years ago, she had too much to drink at the bar and had a one-night-stand. As a result, she broke up with Jimmy!
Two years later, the same thing happened!
‘Chloe, you’re f*cking stupid!’
John displayed a subtle smile as he observed how the woman struggled with the blanket. He was worried that she would suffocate herself.
He tugged at the blanket and called, “Wifey!”
“What wifey? Who’s your wife?”
Chloe roared and her face was red with anxiety.
A diabolical look appeared in John’s gaze as he said, “You slept with me last night. Aren’t you going to take responsibility for it?”
What the hell?!
Her eyes widened. It felt like her whole world was crashing down!
She stared at the documents in disbelief for quite some time. Suddenly, she pinched her thigh. “Ouch…”
It hurt, so she was not dreaming at all.
Did that mean that she was actually married?
“No, it can’t be. Is… Is this fake?”
Chloe found it extremely hard to believe. How could the marriage certificates be obtained when there was no household register and when she was not present during the registration of the marriage?
However, the man said confidently, “You can check with the Ministry of Civil Affairs if you don’t believe me.”
After that, he got up and wrapped himself with a towel he found nearby. “Since you’re awake, get dressed quickly. Let me take you out to dinner to celebrate our recent marriage.”
…
By the time they got dressed, it was already 7:00 pm.
When Chloe got into the car, she discovered that she was in Jiangcheng’s most expensive Royal Garden Villa Area. She heard that a house here would cost at least thirty million.
It was jaw-dropping and she swallowed as she secretly observed the man beside her.
He was attractive, dominant, young, wealthy, and good in bed. In other words, he was an eligible bachelor.
Though she did not understand why he would choose her.
Chloe thought that she did not possess enchanting looks. Her appearance was just above average and she did not have any special talents either. So why was this man attracted to her?
She could not find an answer to her question.
They arrived at Jerusalem, an open-air, fine-dining restaurant that served Western food. The posh interior of the restaurant and the impeccable service shocked Chloe once more. She even sucked in a deep breath when she had a look at the exorbitant menu.
A beefsteak cost thirty thousand while a bottle of red wine cost tens of thousands.
They were not eating food, but diamonds and gold!
