The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 377

Bianca honestly couldn't understand it either. If Mathis was willing to stay away from her, why was he still obsessing over whether she slept with another man?

Didn't he know about the forbidden fruit effect?

The more you ban something, the more tempting it becomes.

"I don't really know him that well," she admitted. "I have no idea what goes on in his head."

Milo raised an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Why don't we provoke him? When you get discharged tomorrow, come stay at my place. I really do love you, and I want to be close to you."

As he spoke, he gently cupped her face.

It was only natural to feel a spark of heat when faced with the woman he loved.

Bianca felt it was too risky. "If you look at his track record, you'd know just how calculating he is. Let's not poke the bear right now.

It'd be one thing if he didn't care, but he specifically went out of his way to warn us. I'm genuinely afraid he'll lose his mind and come after you.

I'm still legally married. If he uses the fact that we're together before the divorce is finalized to ruin you, I'd regret it for the rest of my life."

She looked at him with intense emotion. "We love each other, and I refuse to let you get hurt because of me. My biggest fear is something happening to the people I care about."

Her parents and grandmother were gone. If Milo became the target of a cyberbullying campaign because of her, Bianca knew she would plunge into endless darkness.

She absolutely refused to drag him down with her.

Milo leaned down and kissed her, pulling her into a tight embrace, his heart swelling with overwhelming affection.

She was always putting him first.

His voice softened. "Okay. I'll wait another month. As much as I want you, I'm not so desperate that I can't hold back. I can endure it."

Curious, Bianca asked if he had ever been in a relationship before.

When two people fall in love, they naturally want to share their pasts.

Milo answered earnestly, "Whenever I had free time, I was just out having fun. My math scores were so low my dad used to joke I was taking the IELTS exam instead.

When I wasn't racing, I was surfing or scuba diving. I can ski and play tennis too. It's a shame you can't go to Switzerland; I used to hit the slopes there almost every year.

The scenery is stunning, and the runs are wide open. It's incredible.

Basically, as long as I didn't have to study, I thought everything was fun."

Listening to him ramble on about everything under the sun, Bianca felt like he was trying to dodge the question. Feigning annoyance, she asked, "Don't tell me you have some childhood sweetheart hiding somewhere!"

Milo tightened his arms around her. "No way. I mean, look at me—I'm gorgeous, so obviously girls hit on me. But I was never interested.

I don't even know why I fell for you so hard. It was just this instant spark.

Maybe it's just destiny."

Bianca laughed along. "Meeting you has definitely been my absolute privilege."
