Chapter 358 Slap Him With Shoe

My days in Snowville were shrouded in constant fear. om the Sanders to Sadie, I watched familiar faces vanish one by one.

An overwhelming sense of helplessness gripped me, forcing my nerves to stay taut as I braced myself to face the shadowy figure pulling the strings.

Even with Carter by my side, the dread lingered, unchanged at its core.

But here, in this new setting. I no longer had to worry about unseen eyes following my every move.

Within the walls of his home, Carter didn't have to feign his disability anymore..

And in this moment, my yearning for him surged to its peak.

"Carter, Carter. I murmured, planting desperate kisses along his throat and lips.

"Chloe, I'm here.

Our breaths tangled, heated, and frantic. Something about the unfamiliar environment or the presence of outsiders made the atmosphere feel even more electric

In the darkness, we were lost in the moment.

Just as things were escalating, Zocy's voice pierced through from outside the room. "Sis, where have you been?"

Startled, Carter and I shifted positions. I pressed myself against the door while my jacket lay crumpled on the carpet. My slip dress had already slid off one shoulder, and Carter's lips trailed from my mouth to the curve of my shoulder. "Baby, just ignore her, he murmured, his voice hoarse as his hand slid up the hem of my nightgown.

"Right now, I only want you. Be good."

But then Harlan's voice cut through the air. "That's enough, how could you stay in someone else's house? Come home with me."

"Get lost! Who gave you permission to touch me?" Zoey's voice was sharp and defiant.

"Do I need your approval to sleep with you?" he retorted.

Zoey let out a cold laugh. "Sleep with me? Ha! Why don't you aim for the stars instead? Look at yourself- how could you possibly compare to Carter? If I ever pick a man, it'll be someone like him-someone who loves, spoils, and respects his wife. Why would I even consider sleeping with a trashy mutt like you? You're delusional and ugly!"

"You're into Carter, aren't you?" Harlan's voice darkened.

"I'm into your dad, too!" Zoey shot back, her words dripping with sarcasm.

"Watch your filthy mouth, Janice. You need to be taught a lesson."
