No Renewal My Contract Husband (Nella and Alfred) novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220 Naked Guy

1 Finished

Alfred shoved her up against the bathroom door. There wasn’t a single inch of space left between them.

“Nella.”

His voice came out low and rough, barely audible through the thick steam.

“What the hell are you doing?”

Her face tightened. She grabbed the edge of the doorframe, her voice shaky even though she tried to keep it steady.

“I’m staying here tonight.”

That vulnerable act he’d played before was gone. His stare was sharp and locked in.

“No way.”

She shot him down without even pausing.

“But we’re still married.”

Water dripped down his skin as he moved in closer.

“You moved out with Marshal because I told you I couldn’t accept having dogs in my house. But now that I’m fine with Marshal being here, I don’t see why we’re still living apart while staying married.”

“We agreed that all I had to do was act like your wife only in public.”

She narrowed her eyes at him, unwilling to budge.

“That’s not cutting it anymore.”

He held his phone right up to her face.

“People are already talking.”

She looked at the screen. Sergio had messaged him-someone had seen the CEO’s wife from the Keywood Group staying alone at East Manor. Word was spreading fast that the Keywoods had split.

East Manor was exactly where she was living now.

Her photo had already hit the internet because of that so-called “malpractice” scandal.

Of course someone recognized her. But she’d only just moved in. How did the gossip start this fast?

Now it all made sense. Alfred hadn’t barged in because he missed her. He was worried about Keywood’s reputation.

“If you’re supposed to be playing the part of my wife, shouldn’t you help shut down anything that might hurt Keywood?”

Mon,

Chapter 220 Naked Guy

His eyes didn’t move from hers. He leaned in even closer.

He reached up and tilted her chin. His face lowered, inching toward hers.

Just before his lips touched hers, she turned her head to the side.

“If there’s something you need me to do, I’ll do it.”

Finished

She pressed her palm against his chest and shoved him back a few inches. “But whatever that move was just now, don’t pull that again, Mr. Keywood.”

She gave him a firmer push, this time putting more space between them.

“I’m stepping out. You finish up your shower.”

With that, she pulled the door open and hurried out fast.

As she did, the image of Alfred’s half-naked, sculpted body that she’d accidentally caught sight of flashed in her mind. Her whole face lit up like it was on fire.

Alfred looked down at his phone as the door slammed in his face.

His eyes filled with something hard to read.

When Nella reached the living room, Mason and Jasmine were already gone.

She dropped onto the couch, completely drained.

The thought of people whispering about her and Alfred living apart made her stomach turn.

She’d been doing better lately. Having Marshal around helped her feel grounded.

And with Alfred saying they’d split the second the contract ended, she’d finally felt like she could breathe again.

But now this mess? The tension she’d pushed down came surging back.
