Chapter 767

+15 Bonus

Joseph sized up the young woman in front of him, who was more than 20 years younger than he was. He refused to believe an addict could still have a sense of chastity or principles.

So he said, “I mean no disrespect, but suppose this was a bottle of the drug you want, and I told you I’d only give it to you if you slept with me. Would you still stand by what you just said?”

He pointed at the thermal flask in front of them. If it were filled with the drugs Rhea craved, the quantity would be no joke. It would easily be a year’s worth of her fix.

“Fine, you win!”

Rhea obviously couldn’t resist the temptation of a full bottle. Besides, she’d personally agreed to be one of his wives, so obviously she’d have to provide the sex sooner or later. Before or after the wedding was just a matter of timing.

She let out a snort, huffing, “You really are a bad man! And you’re rotten to the core! No wonder Jenna and Yara both fell for you.”

“Nice guys finish last, and women love a bad boy. If I played by the rules and had nothing special to offer, you’d never have given me the time of day.

“Since you’re here, let me give you a checkup. Consider it a premarital examination.”

“What are you checking?”

“I want to see whether or not you have a lot of experience. Word is you’ve been hooked on this stuff for years. My worry is you’ve spent those years running wild and living recklessly.

“If so, forget STIs-you may have already done damage to your kidneys. If we’re going to have a good life after marriage, I think a checkup is necessary.”

Joseph didn’t mince his words. In his mind, addicts would do anything to get their fix. In a moment of weakness, they would grab any man and treat him like their husband.

Once they’d lost their sense of boundaries and principles, their bodies could easily become slaves to impulse and instinct as well.

“You’re such a pain!”

Rhea wasn’t thrilled, but she went along with it, lying down on the couch and letting Joseph examine

her.

She was free of infections, but her body was already showing signs of damage. Her immune system, digestive system, and central nervous system had all suffered varying degrees of harm.
