Chapter 258

She pouted, her voice laced with hurt, “Ludwik, don’t listen to her nonsensel She cornered you here on purpose, trying to seduce you, spreading nasty rumors to drive a wedge between us.

Ludwik, come here. I’m scared she might have given you some kind of infection!”

Elaine’s words dripped with sarcasm and concern.

Though Ludwik was irked by her unwelcome presence, he still stepped away from Whitney,

Out of the blue, his hand was seized by Whitney. Whitney giggled and suddenly pinned the mant against the wall! Her 5’5” slender frame trapped the 6’2” mature and formidable man, her soft body pressed against Ludwik’s midsection.

His heart skipped a beat, his eyes cold, but his blood ran hot with a familiar fervor,

“What are you trying to do?” he asked, his disgust palpable.

“Pass on an infection, of course.” Whitney’s voice was soft and husky, full of seduction,

In the face of Elaine’s shocked and venomous glare, Whitney’s lips curved in a bold statement, “Why, Mr. Lippert, you seem so nervous about a woman’s approach. Are you a bit sensitive?

Ludwik’s face darkened, incredulous at this woman’s audacity – she was brazen yet alluring, teasing him about his appointment that morning.

Elaine’s face also soured – how did this wench find out?

She must have snooped around. Elaine knew It; this woman had no good intentions coming back!

Ludwik is under the care of a top–notch doctor. We’ll be starting a family soon, so step away from him now!”

“So, you’re saying Mr. Lippert hasn’t been able to do anything to you for three years?” Whitney chuckled lightly.

Had it not been for the man’s presence, Elaine would have cursed and torn this shameless.

woman apart.

All she could do now was to burst into tears, “Ludwik…”

Ludwik felt both pity for Elaine and a surge of angry humiliation. “Whitney, if you dare say another word to hurt her, I’ll make you regret it. Get away from me.”

“It seems Elaine has hired quite a capable doctor.”
