Taming The CEO The Escaping Wife novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36

Elgin knew Hawley’s little game too well. He knew that Letitia had no backings, and she could be a tool for passing on the family name, nothing more.

Letitia was taken aback and asked, “Did you agree?”

“What a joke,” Elgin snorted. “You’re not worthy of bearing my children.”

She breathed a sigh of relief. She was already pregnant, how could she possibly get pregnant again?

“I get it,” Letitia nodded. “I’ll play along, and not give your grandpa any reason to be suspicious.”

Seeing her look so chill about it, Elgin was irked on the inside.

“Are you dumb or something, Letitia?” he closed in on her, pinning her against the wall, “You should be dying to have my

baby.”

She immediately shook her head, “No, I don’t.

“Ever thought that maybe, just maybe, I’d treat you a bit better for the kid’s sake? Maybe your dad in jail and your sick mom could bask in their grandchild’s glow?”

Letitia met Elgin’s gaze. It sounded pretty tempting.

A few seconds later, she shook her head with a bitter smile, “No chance. Elgin, with your tactics, if I had your baby, you’d just take the kid for yourself, sever all ties with the Sanders family, and he’d never even know who his mom is!”

Letitia was smart, and she knew Elgin well.

Elgin was even more annoyed, having his thoughts read like an open book. He grabbed her chin, looking down at her rosy lips, his irritation grew as he leaned in and just went for it.

His kiss was almost like a bite, the pain making Letitia gasp for air.

She tried to pull back, but Elgin had a firm grip on the back of her head.

“Even if I did fuck you,” Elgin said, “I’d be watching you pop birth control pills. Got it?”

He turned and strode into the bathroom, turning on the cold shower.

Every time he kissed Letitia, he got aroused. Damn it!

Now with grandpa’s spy around and Letitia having to share a room with him, he was scared he’d lose control one day!

After his shower, Letitia had already set up her bed on the floor.

The air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.

“I lit some scented candles, Letitia said. “It’s calming and helps with sleep. Hope it’s okay with you.”

He didn’t say a word, just dropped his towel around his waist onto a chair.

“Ah!” Letitia quickly covered her eyes. Good thing she was quick; a second later and she would’ve seen his naked body…

Elgin lay down in bed, eyes closed. The scent of the candles was soothing, making him drowsy but somehow he just couldn’t fall asleep.

Hearing Elgin toss and turn in bed, Letitia whispered, “The scented candle works better with a massage, you know.”

Two seconds later, Elgin’s voice came, “Get up here.”

Letitia sat up, crawled onto the bed, and gently laid Elgin’s head on her lap.

Her fingertips landed on his temples, slowly massaging them.

Huh, Elgin let out a cold laugh, “You had all this planned out, didn’t you?”

“Trying to butter me up? You want that emerald bracelet?”

“Yes.”

Elgin’s eyes were closed, his nose looking softer in the light, but his words were still ice cold, “Depends on your performance.”

Five minutes later, Elgin was asleep, and Letitia stopped massaging.
