Scarlett's POV:
I could not hide my amusement when I saw Rita's panic-stricken face. With a sly smile, I brought the glass of water to her.
"You wanted some water, didn't you? Here. Have a drink," I said while handing it over.
Rita slapped my hand and got on her knees.
"Charles, didn't you promise you'd marry me? Why are you in denial of your feelings for me?" Rita sobbed while looking at Charles with tearful eyes.
"Indeed. I was in denial of my feelings for Scarlett." Charles looked at me guiltily.
"What-what did you say?" Rita stuttered in disbelief.
Charles did not answer her question. Instead, he sneered and warned her, "You'd better not drug her; otherwise, the Lively Group will fall into crisis."
Rita was in utter shock. She opened her mouth to speak, but no sound came out.
I could not help but sigh as I gazed at Charles's stone-cold expression. 'Wow. Rita has crossed my bottom line again and again, but Charles is still on my side.'
With a frown, Charles turned to Richard and pointed at Rita, who was in a daze. "Take her out." Just as Charles had ordered, Richard dragged Rita out right away. Finally, the commotion had come to an end. Well, at least for now.
Now that only the two of us were left in the room, Charles's demeanor changed. He held my hand and asked gingerly, "Honey, are you still mad at me?"
I lowered my head. "Yes."
"Don't worry, honey. I'll get justice for you. I won't let that woman off this time."
I raised my head and looked at him. "Humph! Will you wrongly accuse me like that again?" "I've heard that pregnant women are sensitive. Now, I can attest to that. Honey, I didn't mean that. I just asked. Anyway, it's my fault for making you unhappy. I'll make it up to you." Charles coaxed me with sweet words. I must admit, it was working.
However, I did not say anything and just pinched his side as hard as I could.
"Honey, you can punish me as you like. But today is our wedding night. Can you forgive me for now? Let's do what we should do first..." Charles kissed me on the cheek, but his hand wandered around my body. Before I knew it, his hands were on my back, trying to unzip my dress.
"Don't..." I tried to stop him, but my body was slowly giving in.
"Honey, I know you're unhappy because of what has just happened. Let me make it up to you." Charles kissed the back of my neck, and it sent shivers down my spine.
I got so weak in my knees, so I grabbed his arms for support.
Impressively, Charles managed to unzip my dress. Now that my breasts were exposed, he fondled them lustfully.
"You... I think you're just comforting yourself," I muttered while glaring at him.
Charles raised his head and stared at me with an aggrieved look on his face. "It's been so long since we last made love. Don't you want it? Well, I know I can't wait to fuck you right now."
My face turned red with embarrassment. The truth was, I wanted it too. But I was worried about our baby. "But... The baby..."
"It'll be fine as long as I'm gentle. Shall we do it, honey?" Charles asked for my consent while kissing me on the neck.
I looked at his bright and pitiful eyes, and my heart softened. How could I saw no to that? "Okay. But be gentle."
"I will." Charles answered, a hint of excitement in his voice. He scooped me in his arms and carried me to the bed.
He then put me down and stripped me off my clothes.
All of a sudden, a cold breeze came in. I instinctively covered my chest in the cold.
"Are you cold?" Charles pressed me onto the bed and then pulled the quilt over to cover us. "Don't worry. You'll be warm soon."
He chuckled and kissed me on my forehead.
A moment later, the desire in my body was ignited. He was right. I did not feel cold anymore.
"Honey, let's do it sideways so we won't hurt the baby. I know we won't be able to enjoy ourselves to the fullest, but I'm willing to sacrifice my pleasure." Charles helped me lie on my side as he spoke.
I could feel my face burning because of his dirty talk.
"Don't be shy. You'll have to get used to this. I'll flirt with you all the time." Charles seductively kissed my earlobe. Meanwhile, with his free hand, he slowly reached out to my lady parts.
My whole body tensed up, and my vagina became wet in anticipation.
"Relax. Let me touch it."
Charles must have noticed my nervousness. He kissed me on the lips to distract me from what he was doing down there. Although his tone was soft and gentle, the movement of his fingers was quite the opposite.
