His Charming Wife novel Chapter 5

In a villa located halfway up the Nano District mountain, a dimly lit room was filled with the aroma of fresh apples. A pink bed in the room was covered with wrinkled sheets.

Federick Addington sat among the sheets, halfsquinting his eyes. His thick black lashes blocked his dark eyes, and a chilly glint flashed through his eyes.

His rosy lips were parted slightly.

Federick Addington was an angel carved by the heavens, his delicate appearance and charming character were always adorned with a charming smile on his face.

A woman bent across him, trying to seduce him with her tongue. She moaned softly, tempting him.

"I want you." She pleaded.

Federick Addington bowed his head and smiled playfully. He pinched her lovely chin and lifted it up. "Do you want me?"

"Yes."

"I'm a little tired today. Let’s do this another day." Federick Addington said, with a hint of callousness. He stood up and walked to the bathroom.

Tonight, he felt that this was meaningless. Federick Addington left the villa early. Outside, Federick Addington picked up his mobile phone and called Stella Grace.

One, two, three...

Stella Grace did not answer.

Federick Addington curled up the corners of his mouth and murmured, "You want to play with me? Very good."

Federick Addington dialed Stella Grace’ s downtown apartment again.

One, two, three.

His patience was fading away.

"Hello." The voice of the housemaid, Betty, rang out in a daze.

"Where is Madam?" Federick Addington asked coldly.

"Sir. Madam has yet to return home," Betty replied.

"Is she on duty today?" Federick Addington's eyes became colder.

"No."

As soon as Betty’s voice fell away, Federick Addington hung up the phone.

"Stella, you have learned to stay out at night!" Federick Addington sped up and drove toward the hospital.

Stella Grace returned to the hospital. She opened the drawer and took out her mobile phone.

At 2.31 a.m,. there was a call from Federick Addington. Stella Grace put down her phone with a sad smile.

She took out a plaster from the drawer, along with some iodine.

Stella Grace walked to the mirror and tilted her neck.

A scar had already formed, the size of a needle.

If she didn't look closely, she couldn't see it.

But for safety, she put on a plaster on her neck.

She returned to her chair.

She dipped a cotton swab in some iodine and dabbed on the wounds on her hands, finally placing three plasters on them.

After that, she lay on the bed in the office.

"Crack." The door was pushed open.

Stella Grace sat up warily.

When Federick Addington saw her, his tight face showed a charming smile as usual.

Federick Addington put his hands into his pocket and walked up to her lazily. "You don't have to be on duty today. Why didn’t you go home to sleep?"

Stella Grace looked at the hickey mark on his neck.

Fie had just finished with his disgusting business!

"Why are you here?" Stella Grace ignored his question, put on her shoes, and sat up.

"I was just passing by!" Federick Addington said leisurely, seeing the plaster on her neck.

A mocking smile appeared on his handsome face. "Stella, when did you learn to hurt yourself?"

Stella Grace looked at Federick Addington calmly.

There was no guilt or shame on his face.

He behaved as he was not having these affairs, as if he had never gotten another woman pregnant.
