The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 702

Instead, it had somehow turned into a half-hearted struggle that only fanned the flames.

Did her weak resistance only make it more addictive for him?

Her vision darkened as he hovered over her, his ragged breathing filling the tight space. In her daze, Catherine thought she heard a strange noise outside.

Before she could focus on it, Lance's husky voice pulled her attention back.

"We are legally married. Shouldn't we act the part?"

Catherine tilted her head, her lips brushing right against his ear.

The skin there was flushed hot, betraying his deep arousal.

She didn't dare move. She couldn't even see how tangled up they were in the darkness; she only felt completely enveloped by his heat.

"Legally, yes. But it violates The Marital Agreement."

Her warm breath fanned over his ear as she spoke.

Lance's grip tightened into a fist. "Then I want to change the agreement!"

"Absolutely not!"

Catherine rejected the idea instantly.

The contract didn't explicitly forbid intimacy, but it certainly didn't mandate it. She could still use it as a shield.

If Lance wanted to amend it, he clearly meant to add a clause about fulfilling spousal duties.

She had no intention of taking on those obligations.

"Do you have any idea why Adelina is working at The Lee Group? I don't know what exactly is going on between the two of you, but I'd appreciate it if it didn't disrupt my life."

Bringing up Adelina right now was a massive buzzkill.

Lance's rising passion was instantly doused with cold water.

Her long, curled eyelashes fluttered against his fingertips, sending a lingering, electric spark straight to his chest.

He pulled his hand back, meeting her slowly opening eyes.

"Was my attitude toward Adelina the other day not enough to clarify where she and I stand?"

Catherine was speechless.

When did she ever ask him to explain his relationship with Adelina?

She just wanted him to keep his distance so Adelina would stop treating her like a target.
