My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 458:

Kristopher accepted the transfer with a quick tap, slipped his phone into his pocket, and got to his feet. Leaning down, he carefully scooped her up in his arms. “Come on, let’s get you to bed,” he said softly.

Too drained to open her eyes, Carrie didn’t protest and curled up comfortably in his arms.

Kristopher carried Carrie to the bedroom and carefully placed her on the bed. But just as he tried to pull away, her arms wrapped tightly around his neck. He lost his footing and tumbled forward, landing on top of her, his frame pressed against her soft form. His throat tightened, and he hesitated as he leaned closer for a kiss. But at that moment, her hold on his neck slackened. She released him, turned away, and snuggled into the blankets. Within moments, her breathing became steady as she drifted off to sleep.

Kristopher froze for a moment, his gaze lingering on her. After a quiet sigh, he straightened himself and turned, heading toward the bathroom without a word.

The following morning, when Carrie stirred awake, the bed beside her was empty, but faint noises drifted up from downstairs. She figured Kristopher was in the kitchen and didn’t give it much thought. With a lazy stretch, she sat up, catching the faint scent of alcohol still clinging to the sheets. Flashes of last night’s events, including her bold demand for money from Albin, came rushing back. She cautiously opened her mobile banking app. As expected, there it was—a fresh deposit of $2.5 million.
