Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 358

Chapter 358 He Is A Scoundrel

With a groan, Carter woke up, lifted his hand, and patted his head as it throbbed with pain. Coincidentally, someone was groaning next to him. Startled, he slowly turned his head, and his eyes widened in an instant. Looking down, he realized that he was naked as well.

A man and a woman slept on the same bed without clothes. Any person who was in their right mind could guess what had happened.

Covering his face with his hands, Carter roared in frustration.

Subsequently, he slowly got out of bed. His clothes were nowhere to be found, so he walked to the closet, carefully opened it, and took out his clothes to put them on. At that moment, there was only a single thought in his mind—he wanted to leave. Sleeping with Jennifer was totally out of his expectation, so he had no idea how to face her. Because of that, his mind was in a mess. Although it was contemptible, the only way he could think of was to leave immediately.

He did not love Jennifer. Thus, if he chose to take responsibility and be with her, he could not treat her wholeheartedly when he already had someone else in his heart.

“Carter, do you regret it?” Just as he was heading toward the door, Jennifer’s voice came from behind.

All of a sudden, he was stuck at a hard and a rock place, not knowing what to do.

“You’re awake?” Carter turned around and looked at Jennifer, who was under the covers. Abruptly, he felt a little awkward. “You. I. Last night, we—”

It was the first time he stuttered.

Over the years, he had also thought of messing around with other women, but at the critical moment, Amelia’s face would always flash across his mind and extinguish his desires. As time went by, he did not have any physical intimacy with women. Last night was his first time in so many years.

Seeing him acting that way, Jennifer could not help but feel desolate. She forced a smile and uttered, “Carter, can you bring my clothes here? We’ll talk after I’m dressed.”

In response, Carter nodded. He knew his actions made him look like a coward, but he did not want to develop a complicated relationship with her.

Jennifer’s eyes reddened as she stared at the door that was closed again. She made out with the man she loved. It was supposed to be the happiest thing. However, what she saw the first thing in the morning was him trying to flee as if a beast was chasing behind him. Thinking of that, she fell to pieces.

“Carter, do you hate me so much that you don’t even think of taking responsibility for me? Even after we’ve slept together, you’re still avoiding me,” she murmured to herself.

It took Carter several minutes to come back with her clothes. When he passed them to her, he tilted his head slightly. “Get dressed first. I’ll wait for you outside.”

“Okay,” she responded.

Then, he left the bedroom without any reluctance. As Jennifer tried to get out of bed, she fell back on the bed the moment she stepped on the ground.

Looking at the bruises on her body and the soreness she felt when she got out of bed earlier, she could not help but smile bitterly. He was so passionate when they were drunk. Yet, after waking up, he acted as if they were strangers.

She waited for the discomfort on her body to ease a little before getting out of bed and putting on her clothes.

After she left the bedroom and went downstairs, she saw Carter, who had just come out of the kitchen with breakfast. Glancing at her, he piped up, “Come and have your breakfast. Let’s talk after that.”

In an instant, Jennifer’s cold heart warmed up.
