Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Jealousy 

Just as Evelyn was about to close her mouth, he pressed his thumb against her teeth, and she instinctively opened her mouth again, letting Huston play with her mouth

Eventually, he had enough fun and withdrew his fingers. He grabbed a tissue to carefully wipe his fingers, and glanced at Evelyn, sitting in a confused daze

Her innocence ignited his desire. However, they just had sex in the dining room, it’d be too much for her to handle if he f*cked her 

again

It’s unbelievable your husband chose another woman. He probably hasn’t seen you in this light before,” Huston sarcastically 

remarked

Perhaps Huston didn’t intend to belittle her, but his words struck a chord. Embarrassed and angry, Evelyn wrapped herself in clothes and rushed out of the room

As Huston watched her disappearing figure at the doorway, a wider smile played across his eyes. Not only was she as pure as a daisy, but she was also playing hardtoget. 

Evelyn headed straight to the room Huston arranged for her, locked the door, and threw herself onto the bed

The thought of what had just occurred made her feel butterflies. She hurriedly got up and rushed to the bathroom, turning on the tap to splash her face

The cold water cooled her, but only a little. When she looked at her flushed appearance in the mirror, she turned away. 

What made her any different from Jerry now

Despite her intention to divorce, she hadn’t followed through. By having sex with Huston, did she have ulterior motives beyond 

escaping her marriage

Evelyn questioned herself internally, yet she couldn’t muster the courage to face the truth

She wanted Huston’s help to reclaim what rightfully belonged to her and win the lawsuit. But he wanted her body and though she 

wouldn’t admit it, shewanted him too

She noticed the lingering red marks on her face, less swollen now. She remembered how tenderly Huston had treated her wound 

in the study just now… 

Shaking her head vigorously, Evelyn snapped herself out of her reverie

The sound of knocking on the bedroom door interrupted her thoughts

She wiped her face clean and approached the door. Huston’s displeased face greeted her as she opened it. “You locked the 

door?” 

She pursed her lips. I’m going to sleep.” 

A grin spread across his lips. Who told you we’d be sleeping in separate beds?” 

Her eyes widened, and she quickly took a glance at the kingsized bed

Huston pushed the door open and stepped inside

After closing the door, he picked her up and pressed her against the bed. You’re testing my limits. Not being a very good girl” 

When their eyes met, the playful glimmer had faded from his gaze, leaving behind an incomprehensible darkness

She swallowed hard, about to come up with an excuse, when her phone on the nightstand suddenly vibrated

She breathed a sigh of relief. LLet me answer the phone first.” 

He didn’t refuse her, but he didn’t release her either. He grabbed the phone himself, keeping her underneath him

Upon seeing the caller ID, Huston raised an eyebrow. He answered the call and placed the phone next to Evelyn’s ear

Evelyn! Where the hell are you?! You think you can just disappear for days?! You even took your IDs!Jerry’s irritable voice echoed from the other end

The color drained from her face, Why are you calling? I don’t have time for your nonsense.” 

You’ve forgotten who you are, huh? We are still married, so you’re still my legal wife!His tone was full of disgust, And if I want to f*ck you, you can’t say no!” 

Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Evelyn responded calmly, I’d rather have f*ck a dog than you.” 

Before Jerry could say anything, Huston pinched her hard. She bit back a yelp, then looked up and at his displeased gaze

Jerry recognized her little scream just now all too well. And it was late at night! He was agitated now. Damn it! Are you fooling around with other men? Where are you?!” 

It’s none of your business. And the only way I’ll go back is if you sign the divorce papers.” 

He continued to curse on the other line, but Evelyn hung up

Though she had feigned toughness and indifference, she couldn’t help but feel the sorrow deep down inside
