Chapter 120 Carter, it's so sweet!

Chapter 120 Carter, it's so sweet!

I didn't care anymore. To provoke Luke, I forcefully placed Carter's hand around my waist,

Carter's large hand pressed against me. Even though I was wearing a sweater, he was stiff and unmoving, as if afraid to overstep the boundaries by even the smallest amount.

Luke's face darkened, but I felt a rush of satisfaction.

I remembered how Anna would frequently cozy up to him, wrapping her arms around his neck or waist, sometimes almost kissing him in front of me.

All I did was tell him to be mindful of the boundaries. Luke would furrow his brow, staring at me with cold eyes. "You're the one who's dirty, always seeing filth in others. Anna is my sister. What are you thinking? Apologize to Anna,"

He could be sweet and affectionate with a girl who wasn't even his real sister. Why couldn't I be affectionate with my own husband?

It felt so good to finally turn the tables. The cold violence and negative pressure I had endured from Luke hadn't been a one-time thing-

For years, I had felt like a walking corpse, especially after losing the child, when my mental state broke down completely.

I had even wondered if I hadn't been accidentally killed, and if I had exposed Luke and Anna's affair, my family probably still wouldn't have sided with me.

They would have found excuses for Anna and blamed everything on me. In the end, I would have been completely abandoned.

It was because my body was something they had given me that they could stand on their moral high ground, bind me with their expectations, and guilt-trip me.

I would be trapped in this torment for the rest of my life.

Chloe's death severed the last ties I had with them.

From now on, I would take revenge without any emotional burden.

What I owed them, I had already repaid long ago.

What I needed to do now was have my revenge in full, and I was going to make it even worse! This would be much better than simply stabbing them once.

A single stab would only hurt for a few minutes, but I wanted them to suffer day and night.

I coyly leaned against Carter's neck, my voice soft and sweet, "Carter, tonight... could you go a little gentler? It hurts"

That little whiny tone just happened to be loud enough for Luke to hear.

Carter was wearing a high-neck cashmere sweater, and Die soft fabric clung to his skin, taking on a faint
