Chapter 1925
Ellen blushed when she heard his words. You are attractive! I just can’t bring myself to gawk at you. “I didn’t mean that,” she mumbled. From her swift glance just now, she could tell that he had a well-built body.
“Why aren’t you taking a few more looks when you have the chance? Do you think I show my body every day to others?” he poked fun at her, and she giggled. Still, she had her back against him. “No.”
Not giving her another chance, he headed into the attached bathroom in her bedroom half- naked. She blushed embarrassedly again when she realized that he was using her bathroom, even when she had a guest bathroom at her place. He clearly didn’t want to use the latter.
When Jared was showering, Ellen took her time to “school” the cat. Twenty minutes later, she heard the doorbell ringing, and she opened the door with the cat in her arms. Stanley had arrived to deliver the fresh clothes.
“Miss Reiss, here are some clothes for Mr. Presgrave,” he explained and gave her a bag.
“Stanley, Sure. I’ll hand it to him, do you want to come in?” She smiled at him. He quickly waved at her and said, “No, no. I have something else to attend to.”
With that, he left Ellen’s place hurriedly. Interrupting the date between Mr. Presgrave and his beloved woman is courting death.
Ellen walked to the living hall from the entrance with the bag of clothes in her hands. Her eyes widened again at the sight of Jared wading out with only a towel wrapped around his waist. Water was dripping from his hair. Droplets clung to his body and accentuated the outlines of his muscles. His long legs could be seen beneath the towel, and she could not help but wonder if the towel was the only garment on him.
While thinking, she handed him the bag with clothes as her face reddened. “Stanley sent you this.”
He smiled at walked into her bedroom. His back muscles were a work of art-his broad shoulders and narrow waist were the epitome of the male form.
