After the New Year's Eve Tragedy Her Icy Return novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120 Bra, What’s the Rush?

21 46 Pearls.

After an intense moment of passion, both of them were left breathless, each reaching for their own clothes.

Linden dressed quickly. Once done, he looked at Helen

Her cheeks were flushed, and her lips had deepened in color. He gently cupped her chin and leaned in to plant another kiss. “Did it feel good?” he asked with a teasing glint in his eye.

Helen blushed an even deeper shade.

Wrapping her arms around Linden’s waist, she nestled into his chest and gave a shy nod.

“Tell me,” Linden murmured, “was I better than your ex”

He had assumed he was her first, but when he saw there was no blood after the intercourse, he couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed.

Helen’s arms tightened around him. “Would you think less of me?” she asked, her voice low and uncertain.

Back in university, she’d been young and naive, agreeing to date a guy who pursued her persistently.

Not long after, she found out he came from a poor family and ended things.

Now, she regretted it more than anything–she’d given something precious to a man who gave her nothing

in return.

Linden reached out and tapped her nose affectionately. “Silly girl,” he said with a warm smile. “Someone who truly loves you would never care about your past.”

He didn’t know much about love, but he knew one thing for sure–this woman had just rocked his world.

The way she had cried out his name still echoed in his mind. He felt great, and it made him want to take her again right then and there.

Relieved by his words, Helen kissed him softly on the cheek.

“Let’s head downstairs for lunch. We’ve been up here for so long; what if your mom starts getting the wrong idea?

Well, it wasn’t just the time that worried her. It was the noise they made.

If Teresa had overheard them, that would be beyond awkward.

Linden didn’t think twice. “She’s the one who set us up, remember? Even if she knows what we were doing, she won’t care. Honestly, she might even be happy about it.”

After all, his mom was the one who had chosen Helen for him in the first place. She’d been going on and on about wanting grandkids for ages.

Right now, she was probably over the moon.

He took her hand and let her downstairs, already picting his mom’s proud smile.

But as they turned the corner into the dining room, that smile was nowhere to be seen. Teresa stood with arms crossed, her eyes locked onto their intertwined hands, her expression stormy.

Helen noticed the change instantly. Seeing the fire in Teresa’s gaze, she quickly let go of Liriden’s hand, dropped her head, and slowed her steps, quietly slipping behind him like a scolded child.

That was when she heard it–the unmistakable sounds coming from behind a closed door.
