Chapter 7

Everyone thought Agnes was really put through the wringer

Not only did her ex and his new squeeze show up at her workplace, but her boss also dracked her into his office and gave her a talking to She was completely stripped of

all dignity

It was downright brutall

The moment the door to the boss’s office shut. Agnes was pinned against the door by Jared

His intense kiss left Agnes flushed and breathless. This kiss seemed to carry a punishing intention and was much rougher than any they’d shared before Agnes‘ mind was a mess, and the had no strength to resist.

After what felt like forever, Jared finally let go of Agnes, but he still pressed her body against the door.

Jared propped himself up and looked at Agnes. Her cheeks were flushed, looking like ripe peaches, and her eyes appeared misty, like a foggy mystery land

Agnes was pretty, but not in a drop–dead gorgeous way It was a comforting beauty that grew on you She was usually like a lotus in a pond, fresh and pristine.

But now, this lotus

is seemed to have transformed into a poppy Her kiss–swollen lips looked incredibly sexy. Her skin was naturally fair, and from Jared’s perspective, he could see her swan like neck and the slight rise and fall of her chest.novelbin

Jared felt a burning sensation in his throat, but he tried to suppress his desire and said in a low voice, “You never mentioned having an old flame?

As Agnes slowly came back to her senses, she replied, “Well, you never asked. I thought you knew.”

Of course he knew But the thought of that guy possibly kissing Agnes and having sex with her like he just did made his blood boil.

Agnes vaguely sensed the underlying anger in Jared’s kiss, but she didn’t understand why he was angry.

Jared asked, “Why did you introduce me as your boyfriend‘ instead of ‘husband‘, Agnes? We are legally married. Are you ashamed of being my wife?”

Agnes finally understood why Jared was angry. But they had kept their marriage a secret from everyone, including their families. She thought their secret marriage was a pact between them

Agnes told him, “I’m a sophomore in college, and being ‘married‘ might have negative effects on my future at school. Your talent, looks, and wealth have attracted many women who’d chase you to the ends of the earth. I tell them you’re my husband, and they won’t believe me. If rumors about us spread, they might believe it.”

Upon hearing Agnes‘ words, Jared seemed to cheer up a bit and asked, “So, you think I’m handsome?”

Agnes–immediately complimented him, “You’re the most handsome man in the world!”

Jared raised an eyebrow, “For your honesty, I’ll let you off the hook this time.”

Some men why were they so full of themselves….

Alright. Agnes admitted, even with his vanity, Jared was still incredibly handsome.
