Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 359

"Whatever you want. Whatever you want to do, we'll do."

Quentin stared at her, a warm smile spreading across his face.

His gaze was incredibly soft.

He wasn't just indulging her; he meant every word. Even if she asked him to play the most childish game imaginable, he would happily oblige.

Madeline suddenly had an epiphany.

Quentin had only earned his terrifying reputation as the 'Reaper' of the corporate world because of the vile people who had tried to destroy him.

At his core, he was a deeply gentle man.

And she was becoming increasingly certain that he wasn't just using her.

This was a natural, instinctual favoritism. A devotion centered entirely on her.

"Then I want to swim in the pool with you."

She voiced her thought.

Just beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows was a gorgeous pool. She hadn't used it yet, and since evening was approaching, she didn't want to go in alone.

Taking advantage of his promise to give her anything she wanted, she made her request.

Quentin agreed instantly.

He looked down, his eyes sweeping over her.

Like a predatory king inspecting his prized possession.

"Well then, Mrs. Prescott, shouldn't you change into a swimsuit first?"

"Do we have any here?"

"Of course."

Quentin took her hand and led her to the massive walk-in closet.

He pulled out an incredibly sexy bikini.

Worried she might get cold, he paired it with a matching white cover-up.

Madeline quickly changed into the bikini.

She draped the white cover-up over her shoulders.

When she stepped out, Quentin stared at her for a long time, his eyes practically glued to her skin.

Feeling a bit self-conscious, she asked softly, "What's wrong? Does it look bad?"

He shook his head, a slight smirk playing on his lips. "No, it looks too good. So good that I'm never letting you wear it to a public beach."

Madeline couldn't help but smile, stepping forward to help him with his shirt.

Quentin was surprised by how quickly she was adapting.

They had lived together intimately on the cruise ship and at his estate before.

But she had always been terribly shy around him.

He had never quite understood why.

However, after last night, something inside her had shifted.

Their relationship was escalating.

What Quentin didn't know was that, given her conservative upbringing, she had always felt she needed to be cautious around men.
