Chapter 74
Isaac was perfectly aware of how fair Irene’s skin was, but it was only now that he realized how tender and smooth it was to the touch.
It felt as if a feather brushed against his heart—he craved that sensation.
He became obsessed with that sensation.
At the same time, Irene‘s eyes widened in astonishment, her pupils dilating.
… What was he doing?
No.
No way!
She could not do this with him given her physical condition, but Isaac was going further and further…
Unable to free herself from his restraint, she steeled herself and bit his lips!
Isaac‘s grip loosened from the pain, and she seized the moment to push him away.
Glaring at him, she snapped, “What are you doing, Isaac Jefferson?! What do you take me for, some whore who spreads her legs for every man she meets?”
Isaac held her gaze with a distant look. “Isn‘t that exactly what you are?”
Irene almost slapped him across the face right then, but she stopped herself.
After all, she could not afford to do it now, just as she was not brave enough!
Having calmed down soon enough, she said evenly, “I‘m not. I had been with a man, but just the one I won‘t sleep with simply anyone I meet.”
If she got upset or threw a fit, Isaac would just say, “You are my wife, and nothing I do to you is ever out of line.”
But since she was staying calm, all he could do was watch.
“Then leave him.”
This time, Isaac was very calm as well.
All he wanted right now for her to be his wife-no more, no less.
In other words, she was not allowed to have liaisons… Be it with one man or several.
She belonged to him, and him only!
On the other hand, Irene did not even know what the man from that night looked like, let alone his character.
All they had shared was that night, and the only thing he left her with was her twins.
As such, she had no qualms as she replied, “Okay.”
