Clifford was stumped for words and glanced at Yvette. Feeling utterly embarrassed, he quickly retreated upstairs with his glass of water, only to be yanked aside by Aurora the moment he rounded the corner. "Well? Yvette didn't notice me, did she?" Aurora asked anxiously.

Clifford gritted his teeth. This time, he scooped Aurora up in his arms, holding her securely.

Looking into her bright eyes, he said in a low voice, "Instead of meddling with that brat's affairs, why don't we have another thild? Since our firstborn is a lost cause, let's have a second child."

Aurora was stunned by Clifford's words. Once she registered everything, she called him a pervert, but before she could say anything else, he sealed her lips with his own, giving them a light, frustrated nibble. Clifford's eyes darkened. "This is the only way to handle this woman, or who knows what else she'd get up to?' he thought.

Aurora opened her eyes wide, trying to break free from Clifford's embrace. However, he had an iron grip on her. Eventually, she was kissed into submission, and her struggling hands gradually fell still as she quieted.

Clifford laughed, his chest rumbling. With a deep and tender gaze, he said, "I'll only be a pervert to you in this life."

With that, he strode toward their room in a few quick steps, even kicking the door shut behind them-a clear sign of his urgency.
