True Love Waits novel Chapter 1367

Gifford and Chantel returned to their bedroom. As soon as he closed the door, he said, "Didn't I tell you not to go anywhere? Why did you run away?"

"What? I just went to Rika's room. Was that already running away for you?" she asked in disbelief.

"Wow! After we haven't seen each other for a long time, I didn't know that you already learned to talk back,"

he snapped. Chantel was rendered speechless. Was she talking back?

But her silence made Gifford feel guilty. He felt like he was bullying her.

"Forget it. Come here," he said in a soft tone.

"What?" She hesitated for a moment.

"I came back today to remind you that you are already a married woman. From now on, you have to behave properly in public." Although he refused to admit it, he was jealous when he saw her holding another man's arm while walking on the red carpet. He even wanted to rush over and beat that male star to death.

What he said didn't sound pleasant in her ears, so she couldn't help retorting, "I've always kept a low profile since I entered the entertainment industry. I have never messed around with anyone." Ever since they had gotten their marriage licenses, Chantel had never forgotten that she was a married woman. That was the reason why she had always been careful when she was with other male celebrities.

'She didn't mess around with anyone? Two years ago, she guested in a variety show with a male actor, and they played a game together. That man even hugged her on-screen.

Then at the end of that year, she attended an award ceremony. She walked on the red carpet with a male actor holding her waist.

At the beginning of last year, she made a romantic movie where the leading man held her in his arms many times.

When she attended a reality show in the middle of last year, a male star took her hand, and they ran fast on the street.

And at the end of last year...' Gifford could clearly remember all those scenes

he saw on TV. He was not sure if any other things were happening behind the screen.

Trying to shake off those memories out of his mind, he looked her in the eye, put his thumb at the corner of her mouth, and pressed it upward. Chantel was forced to smile.

But she didn't know what he was thinking, and why he did such a strange thing. Taking a step back to dodge his thumb, she said, "Well... how about we talk another day? I want to take a rest, so I'll go back to my room now."

She then turned around and was about to leave.

He quickly strode in front of her and pulled her in his arms. She was dazed, especially when he said in a low voice, "Why are you running away again? You belong to me tonight and the next day."

He wouldn't let her settle accounts with Erica tonight, and he would bring Chantel to his workplace tomorrow so that his men could meet her.

'Yes, that's it, ' he thought, satisfied with his plan.

"Wh-what? Mmph..." Before she could say anything, his lips sealed hers.

They were alone in the room, and they hadn't seen each other for four years. Who could testify for her that she didn't seduce Gifford this time?

But she was already lost in his kisses and his touch. Before she could know it, they were now entangled in bed. Then a sudden knock on the door interrupted their intimate moment.

Chantel felt like the knock awakened her, and she came back to her senses. She looked at Gifford on top of her in disbelief as she thought, 'Aren't we supposed to talk about our divorce? What are we doing now?'

Then Hugo's voice came from the other side of the door. "Dad, Mom, I want to show you my toys."

Before either of them could answer, they heard Erica say, "Oh, Hugo. Your dad and mom are making a sister for you. Let's go back to my room."

"Aunt Rika, I want to see Dad and Mom making my little sister," replied the innocent child.

Chantel was dumbstruck.

As a reward, she got a cold stare from Gifford. She then looked at the little boy with her eyes wide open and asked, "Don't you want a little sister?"

"Yes, I do," he answered, nodding excitedly. "I wish to have a sister as lovely as Wendy."

Wendy was Remus and Yvette's daughter, who was about to turn two this year.

She was taken by Remus' mother back to her hometown, which was why she wasn't with the Li family.

Since the little boy mentioned her, Erica remembered to ask Yvette, "Hey, when will Wendy come back?" She hadn't seen her little niece yet.

Remus was the one who answered the question for his wife. "Maybe she will be back the day after tomorrow."

She nodded at him and turned to Wesley, who was eating his breakfast silently. "Dad, Gifford won't go back to the base today. Can I stay here until Wendy comes back?" she asked.

"No way!" Wesley replied unhesitatingly. "When Wendy is already here, you can come back anytime to see her."

'Fine! You're such a cruel dad, ' she thought inwardly.

Since she abandoned the Li family for more than three years, her status in the family had dramatically declined after she came back. It was very evident that she was the least favored now.

She felt so miserable that she wanted to cry. All of a sudden, she wanted to go back to Y City. She missed Carlos and Debbie, Matthew, and her four sons.

After breakfast, Wesley took Erica to Gifford's base. She didn't even get the chance to call Matthew.

Gifford didn't come with them because he wanted to spend more time with his son and wife first.

But it didn't matter. With or without his presence, Wesley knew a lot of people in the base who could train Erica. He even chose the strictest leader as her trainer.
