A Night with Her Cruel Mate novel Chapter 8

"No, there's no need," Julia sneered and pulled away from Terence. "Shouldn't you go back to your new girlfriend? Why bother sending your ex-wife back? Maybe you don't even see me as your ex.

I don't need you to poke your nose in my affairs." Julia smiled bitterly.

It was obvious that Julia was very delighted when she saw Terence appear, wanting to thank him.

But for some reason, she hesitated just as she was about to mutter a thank you, and even mocked herself.

Terence looked at her with a cold and straight face. "I don't want to repeat myself a second time. If you don't mind people seeing you cause a scene, then I will carry you all the way to my car."

With a quizzical gaze, Julia asked, "What do you mean?" You divorced me yesterday. And now you came to help me and acted like a gentleman. Why? What's wrong? Are you feeling an inch of regret for signing those papers?

I'll tell you now that it's too late for any regrets." Julia pointed at Terence's nose and continued, "I'm single now, and there are a lot of men after me. It's of no use for you to regret."

Before she could utter another word, Terence swiftly scooped her up, and carried her on his broad shoulder.

As if he was carrying a sack, he dumped her in the passenger seat.

Julia struggled to free herself, but Terence was too strong and firm. She felt so powerless over him. Impatiently, he shouted, "Do not move."

He raised his head and gave her an exasperated look.

As soon as he looked up, their eyes locked. The space in the car suddenly felt cramped and an awkward silence filled the air.

Julia widened her eyes and looked away.

She was afraid of looking him in the eye. When the two of them first met, she was attracted to his dark and attractive eyes. It felt as if she were looking into a deep and bottomless abyss, not wanting to ever escape.

Upon seeing Julia's apprehensive look, Terence couldn't help but flash a smile.

He didn't even realize that he was doing it.

After making sure that Julia was fastened securely, he drove to the house they had once called their home. He didn't know that she had already moved out.

Julia slept during the ride, frowning as she leaned against the passenger seat.

Terence couldn't help but glance at her lovely face, wanting to remove her frown. Even when she looked upset, she was still cute.

When Julia woke up, it was already morning. She looked around and found herself alone in the room.

Sunlight spilled through the gaps of the window curtains. She reached out to rub her eyes and couldn't resist the excitement she felt when she found herself back in the familiar bedroom.

She vaguely remembered the events of last night and flinched at the possibilities that were running through her head. She found her mobile phone on the bedside table.

"I'm screwed..." In a hurry, Julia threw back the quilt and tried to get out of bed, only to discover that she was stark naked.

"You're awake." Terence walked in.
