Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 786:

When Silver Fox felt the warmth of two lips pressing against hers, breathing in Burnet’s crisp, clean scent, her mind went blank. Her first reaction wasn’t to pull away. Instead, her heart raced, and she felt a pang of panic—this was her first kiss.

She hadn’t expected kissing to send tingles through her body, electrifying her from head to toe. Normally quick and composed, she now found herself immobilized and breathless.

Luckily, Burnet’s kiss was brief, a gentle peck resembling a dragonfly touching the water. He then pulled back, keeping a respectful distance.

Silver Fox looked at him, her cheeks burning red. She wanted to scold him for his boldness, yet she was speechless.

Burnet, clearly satisfied with himself, smiled and said, “Happy wedding day, Mrs. Hoffman.”

The mention of “wedding day” snapped Silver Fox back to reality. She was married now, and the man who kissed her was her husband. She had no grounds to protest—it was a part of marriage, legally her duty.
