Chapter 148
It was a long time before he stopped.
His lips brushed against hers as he whispered, “Don’t you dare fall for him!”
Megan pushed him away, her tone ley, “I ordered you dinner! What’s this childish nonsense about falling for whom?”
But he pulled her back into his grasp.
Sullivan kissed her again, lifting her up as if she were weightless. It had been years into their marriage before Megan realized the extent of Sullivers obsession. By the time he put her down, her legs trembled like willow branches in the wind.
She was mortified to even think about what had just happened. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Sullivan was a beast!
His gentlemanly facade was just a mask. Underneath, he was no different from those lecherous men… maybe even more so.
But Megan’s heart remained still. She had loved Sullivan deeply once. She had seen his pride, his wealth, and the tenderness he could show when needed. These were irresistible to any young girl experiencing the stimings of first love.
Yet, she had been hurt by him for three years.
Three years is long enough to cool the hottest of hearts, and Megan no longer believed Sullivan loved her.
If he did, he wouldn’t have done what he did by the door. His affection was still just a physical thing, because she brought him comfort, satisfied him… It was all about possession!
When he was done playing, he would withdraw.
And she would still keep her own heart.
Sullivan was actually quite busy with a new project that demanded his hands–on attention.
Megan was causing a stir and he had followed her to Harmony City, and even there, work piled up. That night, he had a late meeting with the company’s executives.
The meeting ended at 1 am
Megan was already asleep.
Sullivan took a quick shower, slipped into his robe, and lay down beside her, gently wrapping his arms around her. He knew she was awake by the rhythm of her breathing, but he didn’t call her out on it. He was too exhausted to engage with her, the previous encounter by the door had been just enough to satisfy her
He liked to see her lose control.
The night grew deeper.
Holding her close, he whispered into her ear, “Goodnight, Mrs. Lowry”
He closed his eyes, ready for sleep.
Long after, in a half–dream state, he thought he heard Megan speak…
She said. “Too o late.”
Sullivan woke up in the early morning light.
Megan was propped up, watching him with a relaxed look in her eyes. Sullivan’s heart skipped a beat, wanting to pull her down for a kiss. He was a bit of a germophobe, but he had never minded with Megan, hence the previous night’s indiscretion.
Megan turned her face away slightly. In a soft voice, she said, “Sullivan, you don’t need to keep watching me! I’m touring the world after the new year. Are you going to follow me around the globe? It makes no sense! Besides, I have my limits.”
His mood deflated at her words,
Without saying anything, Sullivan got out of bed and went into the bathroom to freshen up and change.
Just as Megan was about to get up, her phone rang.
It was a real estate broker from Borough City. She had asked around about
ut the new owner of Quinn Haven, and there was news
The voice on the other end said, “Ms. Quigley, I’ve found out something. The buyer is a local tycoon. He bought it as a gift for a young lady. The gardens opened just this morning. I’ll dig a bit more and get back to you soon.”
Megan clutched her phone, a surge of excitement within her
She thanked the caller in a hushed tone, hung up the phone, and looked up to see Sullivan.
