Mavis stared at him, "Are you serious?"
He leaned over and kissed her gently on the tip of the ear, "Are you regretting? If you don't want a divorce, you can..."
"No, I hope you can walk the talk and keep your promise."
Anthony was stunned, and concealed an imperceptible glint in his eyes, adding lust to his handsome flushed face.
"I am as good as my word."
His slender finger wrapped around the straps of her nightgown, and he took it off easily...
The bedside lamp in the bedroom went out.
In the dark environment, the air was scorching hot.
...
In the morning.
The plain-colored curtains fluttered slightly, and a ray of light fell on the handsome profile of the man. He blinked his eyes, and his deep blue eyes were as profound as the sea, shining like precious gems.
Anthony woke up.
The madness of last night flooded his mind all at once, but there was no sweet expression on his face. Only endless and complex thoughts remained after he suppressed the darkness.
He turned over gently and Mavis was facing away from him, not yet fully awake.
His clearly defined big hand reached out and embraced Mavis' slender waist, pulling her into his arms.
Mavis was so tired that she couldn't keep her eyes open and subconsciously let out a low hum.
Anthony immediately slowed down his movements and placed his hand on her waist.
Gently he rubbed and twisted it.
"Does it still hurt?"
Mavis didn't reply.
After tossing and turning all night, Anthony woke up early. Mavis actually didn't sleep well at all, her thoughts still in a half-dream state.
But Anthony's words made her completely sober and reminded her of the absurdity of last night.
She actually slept with Anthony last night...??
Was she intoxicated by Anthony's alcohol breath?
How can she agree with his outrageous behavior? They were already getting divorced, so what was the point of sleeping together one more time?
In a completely sober state, she was absolutely mortified.
Moreover, Anthony's warm palm was still caressing her waist, and she couldn't help but suffocate even more.
Last night he was as fierce as a wild beast, but this morning he was so gentle that it was unbelievable.
Was he out of his mind?
"Um, it hurts."
She spoke in a distant tone, pushing away the hand that was resting on her waist and moving to the side to create some distance. She had an attitude of "don't mess with me".
Anthony raised his arm, as if he didn't what happened, leaned over again, stroked the side of her face with the back of his hand, and said sincerely, "Sorry, I have been abstinent for too long. Lost my sense of proportion. I will pay attention next time."
Mavis was confused.
There was a next time?
She was a little annoyed, "What did you promise last night? Did you forget?"
"No, at the Civil Affairs Bureau at 9:00 in the morning after seven days, I will not change my mind if I promise to do so. All the choices are left to you. During these seven days, if you go back on your word, you can notify me at any time."
This statement seemed to place him in a very low position, as if she was really following his heart and he was no longer acting superior like before.
Anthony like this was a bit strange.
Mavis, puzzled, pinched the pillow with determination. "I won't regret it," she said firmly.
