After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 430

Chapter 430 A Sudden Kiss

Susan walked over to help him strip off his clothes.
Manuel was wearing a black hoodie, which made it hard to be taken off.
Susan helped him to sit up. However, he literally leaned into her arms because of drunkenness.
'Damn, you're so heavy!' She felt like she was taking care of an overgrown baby boy.
Finally, she took off his hoodie. After she got him topless, she managed to let him lie down and started working on his khaki pants. She unbuckled his belt and then took off his pants. But still, she looked away to avoid seeing his genitals. After that, she took him into the bathroom to clean his body.
She couldn't help recalling the wedding night when she helped to shower him. Swallowing, she managed to stop thinking about that.
After simply cleaning his body with a towel, she went to the closet to get him pyjamas. Then she helped him to put it on.
From the beginning to the end, Manuel had been too drunk to notice that it was Susan who tended to him.
After putting on the top for him, she started buttoning it. She got on her kneel while doing this, looking serious. When she was about to put on the pants for him, she noticed that Manuel had opened his eyes as soon as she raised up her head.
He simply stared at her, which startled her.
Damn! He had woken up!
What a tiring job!
She actually came here to look after him in the midst of recovery after a miscarriage. At the thought of that, she couldn't help getting annoyed.
She shouted at him, "Hey if you have woken up, you should…"
However, before she finished, Manuel suddenly grabbed her arm and gave her a tug. Susan fell onto his body and her mouth was gagged tight by his kiss.
Did he get drunk?
His kiss was so fierce that she felt like Manuel had turned into a beast from a timid pet, wild and domineering.
Susan found it hard to resist. She couldn't help doubting if he was too drunk to recognize whom he was kissing. Perhaps he didn't even know what he was doing.
However, he felt totally different from the man named Manuel she had known during the usual days, completely different.
She felt like her mind had gone blank. She didn't even resist. Though startled, she didn't intend to push him away. Instead, she accepted his kiss obediently. His kiss felt so hot that it was gonna melt her. The air inside the room started heating. Susan couldn't help grabbing and disheveling his top.
In the midst of a hot kiss, her phone suddenly rang, which soon pulled her back to soberness.
Damn! She couldn't believe that she was not only kissing him, but she started to enjoy it instead of struggling. She must be crazy, she thought to herself.
Then she struggled to push him away. She wasn't ready for the fact that his kiss had conquered her. What was more, she couldn't have sex yet before she recovered from the miscarriage. However, as far as she could tell about Manuel, he would probably force himself on her at this moment.
Her life must be the priority. She kept on gasping after she pushed him away.
Yet, her heartbeat was running wild. She hurried to answer the phone without checking who was calling, desperately eager to do something to distract herself, "Hello?"
"Susan, haven't you slept yet? Why are you gasping?"
It was Henry. She felt like her heart skipped a beat. Susan took a look at Manuel, whose face turned burning red because of drunkenness. Lying on the bed, he was also gasping for air.
She stood up to leave.
Manuel cast a glance at the door. Then he kept on adjusting his heartbeat and breath.
Susan didn't answer until she walked into the living room, "Still awake. You know I am a night person. I find it hard to fall asleep."
"You're still under recovery. You should take care of yourself."
"Okay, I'll try."
"Oh, why were you gasping just now? You start to exercise?" asked Henry.
After a few seconds of silence, she replied, "Yeah, I was exercising on the treadmill."
Even she herself had no idea why she was lying. She wasn't courageous enough to tell the fact that she was kissing Manuel. She didn't want to hurt Henry.
"I know how much you care about your figure. But you should be more aware of your health. Don't get yourself tired." Henry advised.
"Okay." Susan nodded.
"It's getting late. Time to go to bed. That's what I am calling for. By the way, remember to mute your phone before sleep in case someone else's calling would wake you up."
"Okay, good night then." Susan replied.
"I will go to bed after I finish my job." Said Henry.
"Finish your job? Aren't you still in the hospital?"
"I got work to do. Don't worry. It won't take too long."
"You are still working on it? Henry, you should learn to take care of yourself. Stop getting yourself tired. You're making me worried." Susan huffed.
Hearing that, Henry smiled, "You still worry about me?"
"Of course!"
"You're the only one in the world who would worry about me." His voice sounded sad and pitiful.
Susan was touched again. Henry was an orphan with few friends. He started getting into a relationship with her in high school. After graduating from college, he worked for the Phillips bank, her family business. It seemed that she had been the only one in his life. However, she simply walked away.
"Henry, I am sorry." Said Susan.
"Don't be sorry. I am glad to know that you still care about me."
"Of course, I care, but…"
Before she finished, Henry suddenly cut in, "Susan, do you still remember what I've told you?"
"What?"
"I will be waiting for you, always." Henry stressed out his words.
Susan couldn't help gritting her teeth. This time, she had no idea how to reply.
"Do I still have the chance?"
She didn't know. She thought she would definitely divorce Manuel this time. However, while kissing, she somehow found herself reluctant to walk away.
