True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 1914

When Ernest noticed how exhausted Leah looked, he felt distressed and said, "You suddenly turned your phone off. I got worried. Why wouldn't I come?"

Hearing this, Leah felt even more guilty. "Let's go, I'll take you out for a good meal. Your eyes are bloodshot and you need to rest. You can't drive back to Northern City in this state. The drive is too long."

"I was planning to stay and spend some time with you anyway." Ernest looked at her and said, "But I do need to rest today. We'll go out afterward. Is that okay?"

Leah nodded.

"Have you paid the bill?" Ernest asked again.

Leah froze. She felt a little awkward but nodded anyway.

When she recalled that Norval had paid for her drink, she felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't like owing other people.

Her reply was slow, Ernest could instantly tell that something was up. He thought for a moment but finally decided to say nothing. He held Leah's hand and left.

They checked out of the guest room and checked into a better hotel somewhere else.

As soon as they walked into their room, Leah said to him, "You should go to rest first. I've already put up the do not disturb sign outside. Room service won't disturb you."

Ernest narrowed his eyes at Leah. Since they were the only two people in the room, all the anxiety, worry, fear, and longing between them came pouring out of him and turned into an uncontrollable impulse.

He stepped forward and hugged Leah.

Leah was stunned. Just as she was about to speak, she was carried into the bedroom by Ernest.

Up to the moment her body was placed on the big soft bed, Leah was still gawking at Ernest in surprise. She was mildly anxious too.

Ernest looked at her with a complex expression in his eyes. After that, he moved closer to her and kissed her passionately. He gently bit her lips as if he was punishing her.

Just as Leah was just about to complain that she couldn't breathe, Ernest stopped.

He didn't want to part with her.

Even though she ran away from him, he was reluctant to actually punish her.

There was nothing he could do but pretend that everything was okay. He dove straight in and kissed Leah breathless again.

They were very passionate.

Nothing could stop them.

After a while, Leah felt like she was suffocating.

She was caught unprepared by Ernest's passionate display. When she thought about the fact that it was still daytime and that they were in an unfamiliar hotel room, she felt a little resistant and reached out to gently push him away.

However, Ernest grabbed hold of her hands and pressed her down on the sheets.

Leah stopped struggling.

She was intoxicated by the kiss. In an instant, she forgot all her troubles.

She gave up resistance, closed her eyes, and began to respond to him.

In the quiet space, their harsh breaths mingled.

After a long while, Ernest released his tight grip on her. He buried his face in her neck and said, "In the future, no matter what, you can't leave like that and turn your phone off. Do you know how anxious I was when I couldn't find you?"

The man's deep voice rang in Leah's ear, wisps of hot air blowing into her ear making her tremble.

He wasn't wrong. She had gone too far this time.

"I'm sorry, Ernest," she apologized in a low voice.

Ernest raised his head and looked at Leah solemnly. "I can understand that I made you feel conflicted."

Leah was stunned and looked at him in a daze.

"But how many times do I have to tell you? Celeste and I were never a thing. We've never been together. Do you believe me?" Ernest stared into her eyes and asked.

Leah blinked and looked apologetic.

She admitted that she was indeed very possessive. She had wanted to monopolize Ernest.

Thinking about it made her feel horrible. She was scared by her own desires.

She was even more worried that Ernest would hate her if he found out about her secret.

At that moment, Ernest looked sincerely sorry.

Leah felt guilty and shy. She did not dare to look into Ernest's eyes.

However, Ernest would not allow Leah to look away.
