His Wicked Obsession (Archer and Virginia) novel Chapter 197

Archer frowned when he saw her in this state, turning to hand the cup to her.

Chloe took it and took a sip, then her hand trembled, spilling the warm water all over half of his hand.

"I'm sorry..." She looked flustered. "There are tissues on the table..."

Archer pulled a tissue to wipe his hand, not minding it.

Chloe then looked at the milk on the nightstand. "Toby prepared that for you. He waited for you for a long time... You should at least have a sip. He'll be very happy if he knows you drank it..."

Thinking of the child he had raised since he was a baby, the words of refusal caught in his throat.

He picked up the glass and, without a second thought, took a drink.

Chloe's lowered eyelashes concealed the madness in her eyes.

"If you don't need a doctor, rest early. I'm going to the guest room."

"Okay."

Guest room? Did that mean he wasn't leaving tonight?

After Archer left, Chloe quickly went into the bathroom, stripped off her loungewear, and changed into a sexy black lace slip dress she had prepared in advance.

She sprayed some perfume in front of the mirror, adjusted her hair, and stepped out toward the guest room.

Taking a deep breath, she pushed the door open—the room was empty.

Chloe froze for three seconds, then suddenly heard the sound of an engine starting downstairs. She rushed to the window just in time to watch the Maybach drive out of the front gates.

"Archer!!!"

She gripped the window frame with a darkened face, her knuckles turning white, her chest heaving violently.

How was this possible?!

Liam had said the drug would take effect immediately! He should be in agonizing need of someone to relieve him, so why would he leave?!

...

At Virginia's apartment.

When the doorbell rang, Cindy had just fallen asleep. Virginia was sitting on the living room sofa in a pure white silk slip dress, reading an academic journal.
