She Was Never Just a Pretty Face novel Chapter 248

Annie didn't say a word.

But she understood completely.

Mommy had forgotten them.

And Daddy didn't want her to remember.

When Mommy came back, she would be their stepmother.

Just then, little Landon grabbed the photo and planted a wet kiss on it.

"Mommy! Mommy!"

Annie hugged her brother and patiently corrected him: "You have to call her Auntie."

Little Landon just looked confused.

...

Late into the night.

Luther lay alone in the massive bed.

Tossing and turning.

He had suffered from insomnia ever since Hilda died.

But tonight's sleeplessness was entirely different.

His body was noticeably restless and burning.

Every time he closed his eyes, all he saw was Hilda—Joyce—standing in the garage, playing with the AC vent. The cool air blowing up her skirt, exposing those long, slender legs. He knew exactly how intoxicating those legs were, and exactly how it felt to be tangled up with her.

Just thinking about it made it impossible to bear.

He hadn't been intimate with anyone in two years.

Tonight, his body was entirely, violently awake.

After enduring it for as long as he could.

He finally surrendered to the temptation.

...

The next morning.

Inside the CEO's office at Aegis Group.

Lori stood in front of the desk, staring at the photo in her hand, her jaw practically hitting the floor.
