My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 565

Chapter 565 Being High and Mighty

Max didn't let Laura go until she couldn't feel her lips.

In a husky voice, he asked, "Did you taste it?"

Laura covered her mouths with both hands. Her tongue was so numb that she couldn't speak. She could only scowl at him with her almond-shaped pretty eyes. Her curly eyelashes were draped with glinting tears. She looked a bit wronged and a bit lost, which made her even more stunningly beautiful.

Max's deep eyes bore into hers. Waves of desire raged in the depths of his eyes.

Laura was startled by his intense gaze. Sensing the hand on her waist grew increasingly hotter, she jumped to her feet, shoved Max, and yelled, "You perv!"

She then dashed into the kitchen.

Max cocked his brows. He lowered his eyes and saw his private part, then rubbed his forehead in distress.

"What a perturbing babe!" he cried inwardly.

Laura fetched milk out of the fridge. The burning sensation didn't recede until she gulped down two glasses of milk.

Max also drank a lot of water. His lips were glaringly red due to the sting of the hot chili. Laura had never seen him being in such a sorry state before. She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Her anger ebbed, too.

She looked at the clock again. It was almost 8 pm. It was completely dark outside. The wind howled, and dark clouds blotted out the moon, foreboding a storm. She frowned and asked, "Shouldn't you leave now?"

Her tone showed that she didn't want Max to stay at all.

Max was a little miffed. He was used to seeing others beg him to stay. When had he ever been driven out before?

Still, he maintained a cool face. He grabbed his phone and said, "I'll call my driver right off."

Laura didn't say more. She turned around and went into the bedroom, leaving Max alone in the living room.

Not long ago, Blaine got her a part in a costume TV play. It would start shooting in a week, so she had to familiarize herself with the script as soon as possible.

This TV play was not big-budget. But it had caught the attention of many because the novel it was based on was a hit. Plus, with Lily, the famous actress, playing a part in it, the cast alone was very impressive.

Laura involuntarily knitted her brows at the thought of Lily.

She didn't need to think to know that Lily would not leave her out of harm's way during the shooting. She just had to handle more trouble.

"Alas!"

After heaving a sigh, Laura decided not to think about it. She picked up the script and began to read.

When Max walked in, he saw Laura sitting at the desk, reading a script by the lamp. The warm light poured on her profile, setting off her exquisite and chiseled features. Her skin was smooth. Her pink lips were slightly pursed. Her curly eyelashes quivered, which seemed to be tickling Max's heart.

Right at this moment, Max's phone vibrated. He glanced down and saw it was the driver's call.

Inexplicably, he pressed "Decline".

He then strode into the room.

His footsteps staggered Laura, who was sitting by the lamp. She looked up and asked, "Is the driver here?"

Max shook his head and furrowed his brows. "Perhaps the traffic is heavy. I think he'll get here soon."
