The faint light of the wall lamp shone obliquely on Sean from behind, making his figure seem even taller and more erect in the light as he stood in front of the French window in the bedroom.
Unlike Tony’s mixed-race-like nobleness and elegance, Sean’s facial features belonged to a more typical Asian. His high brow ridge made his eyes look very refined, and the thin lips below his tall nose had a heartless and unfeeling quality similar to Tony’s. However, compared to Tony’s impassiveness, Sean’s iciness was immature and partly affected. Perhaps Sean can become someone like Tony one day…
As the idea crossed Lyla’s mind, her eyes took on a touch of sorrow; she stopped wiping her hair dry and replied bitterly, “Sean… of course I love you! It’s just that… if you regret it and want to chase after Myra again… I-I won’t blame you…”
Seeing Lyla’s sorrowful expression, Sean knew that his marriage to Myra over the past two years had hurt her deeply. He then sighed softly while tightening his arms around the woman before him. “Lyla… you know what kind of life I’ve been living over the last two years; even Myra could tell that I have been waiting for you all the time. Don’t worry, for I’ve never loved her; I was merely caring about my employee as a boss just now. After all, she’s the Chase Group’s best designer. Lyla, you’re the one I love and the woman I want to marry…”
He only felt that his heart was overflowing with tender feelings at this moment. But why did my heart suddenly jump when I said I never loved Myra?
“Sean…” Lyla was moved to tears again. She had just come out of the bathroom in Sean’s bathrobe after taking a shower. Fairhill Villa had only his bathrobe, which trailed on the ground and was loose around the waist as it was a bit too large for her size, making her waist seem so slim that it could be held with an arm. In particular, the deep cleavage between her breasts…
Staring at her cleavage, Sean only felt that the arms he wrapped around the woman before him were burning, and his eyes darkened at once. After two years of waiting, the woman he loved was finally in his arms…
“Sean… I love you…” Suddenly, Lyla stood on tiptoe and tremblingly pressed her lips to Sean’s thin lips. Like a pure and fresh flower bud, she sucked on his thin lips bit by bit, slowly flirting with the man before her like her former self. Then, Sean unexpectedly loosened his hold on her waist, allowing the beautiful and naked body underneath the bathrobe to come before his eyes the next second.
Lyla’s face was full of coyness, but she suddenly closed her eyes and daringly flung herself into Sean’s arms. Moving close to his ear, she whispered intimately, “Sean… I have never slept with other men… over the past two years… I have always been… waiting for you—mmm…”
Right after she pronounced the word ‘you’, she was kissed on the lips by the man before her. The next second, he scooped her up in his arms and walked straight toward the large bed nearby…
Realizing that Eve no longer went to the Chase Group to look for her, Myra started coming back to the company occasionally to deal with her accumulating work there. In fact, she was planning to hand in her resignation to the company these days; since her marriage to Sean would come to an end these days, she didn’t want to be still working in the Chase Group after the divorce.
More gossip had been circulating in the Chase Group these days. Seeing Myra coming to the office, Tilly quickly came up to her. “Miss Stark, you must have no idea that Director Chase has gotten himself another new girlfriend these days! She’s said to be a pianist residing in the United States who has returned to the country recently!”
“Yeah, that’s right! Everyone is betting on how long Director Chase will date this pianist residing in the United States! But let me tell you something in secret…” Tilly lowered her voice. “I heard that this woman is Director Chase’s first love!”
“Then Director Chase will probably settle down this time,” Myra answered ambiguously.
