Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Chapter 152

Carlos's eyes swept down from her face, fixing on a spot further down.

Mikayla followed his gaze to her V-neck office attire. It wasn't see-through, but Carlos's stare was so blatant that it felt like he was undressing her with his eyes.

"Carlos, you..." Mikayla clenched her jaw, her ears flushing red as she recalled last night when Carlos's hands hadn't been behaving.

"Mika, I didn't imply anything. Let's eat. It's getting late," Carlos said with a nonchalant shrug as he scooped up his oatmeal.

Mikayla noticed the time after Carlos's prompt, and indeed, it was almost time to go.

After finishing breakfast, Carlos drove Mikayla to her office.

During the ride, Mikayla sat in the passenger seat.

"Hey, what happened to Josiah?" she asked. She hadn't seen him since their wedding, and it seemed like he had vanished. "He's between jobs at the moment! He'll resume work after I'm gone," Carlos mentioned as if it was no big deal.

"Is that even possible?" Mikayla questioned.

It seemed like Carlos could make Josiah come or not come to work with just a word.

"You'll understand the reasons later as you're so smart!" Carlos said with a knowing smile.

Carlos parked the car at the Salvatore Group's main entrance.

"There you go again, being all cryptic!" Mikayla said to Carlos, unbuckling her seat belt, stepping out of the car, and adding as she closed the door, "Oh, and you don't need to bring lunch. I'll probably be swamped." "Got it! Wrap up early, and I'll pick you up after work to head to Lorenzo's," Carlos replied before driving away.

Mikayla was left standing there, feeling a mix of emotions.

Truth be told, she had expected days like this since their marriage. It was just a tough emotional barrier to overcome. There were moments of deep connection when she felt it physically. She was keenly aware of his desire. Yet, Carlos always restrained himself, mindful of her still-healing foot, never pushing for more.
