Forbidden Passion

Chapter 734 The First Woman Who Dared to Treat Me as a Stand-in

Cindy picked up a throw pillow and hurled it at Patrick, who was sitting across from her, angrily saying, "Eat it if you want!"

Cindy didn't have time to cater to Patrick and got up to walk towards the bedroom.

As Cindy passed the sofa, a large hand suddenly grabbed her wrist. Her heart skipped a beat, and just as she was about to shake off the grip, Patrick pulled her forcefully, causing her to fall unexpectedly into his arms. The world spun around her, and the next second, Cindy's back sank into the sofa while Patrick, who had been sitting there, hovered above her.

Cindy instinctively struggled, but her hands were pinned above her head. She tried to knee Patrick in a vulnerable spot, but one of his legs pressed down on her knee, rendering her immobile. Cindy was shocked by the position.

Cindy glared at him angrily, saying, "Patrick, what do you think you're doing?"

Patrick looked down at her flushed face, his gaze flickering slightly. He said with a soft smile, "In the past two years, I haven't found anyone who fits me better than you, Cindy. Why don't we make love like we used to?" Cindy could hardly believe her ears. She said in confusion, "What did you say?"

"It's been two years. You haven't found anyone suitable, and neither have I. How about we make love?" Patrick's voice was low, carrying a seductive tone.

Cindy understood and suddenly said with a sneer, "Didn't you say you were tired of sleeping with me? What are you doing now?"

"After not sleeping with you for two years, I realized I still prefer you." Patrick didn't feel there was anything wrong with contradicting himself.

Cindy looked up, staring directly into his eyes with a hint of malice, saying angrily, "Patrick, are you willing to be my second choice?"

They had fallen out back then because Patrick somehow found out that Cindy had agreed to the lover's contract with him only because of Reed's cornea donation, not because of him.

This deeply wounded Patrick's pride, even though he had initially seen her as a stand-in for his first love.

Patrick only allowed himself to do it, not Cindy, which led to a big argument and the contract being voided.

Patrick looked down at Cindy, and even after two years, the lingering resentment made him want to strangle her. He raised his hand and gently touched her neck. The pressure wasn't heavy, but it made Cindy's hair stand on end.
