Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Chapter 181

Mikayla applied ointment in the bathroom, soothing her body. The fiery pain instantly transformed into a cool and comfortable sensation. The pain eased in an instant. Mikayla thought to herself, 'Carlos is infuriating but lovable.'

After applying the ointment, Mikayla turned on the faucet at the sink, releasing hot water to wash her face and brush her teeth.

Once she finished applying skincare products, she looked at her reflection in the mirror. Not sure if it was because of the frustration caused by Carlos just now, but her cheeks still had a slight blush.

Upon exiting the bathroom, Mikayla noticed that Carlos was no longer in the room.

Just as Carlos mentioned, the ointment did work quite well. After a few minutes, walking felt much easier, and the sharp, tearing pain seemed to have subsided.

While changing clothes, Mikayla almost didn't recognize her own body.

Covered in bruises, every pore seemed to be complaining about Carlos's misdeeds from the night before.

When she woke up, it was as if Carlos had dressed her in the nightgown to deceive her. Unfortunately, Carlos was simply masking his misdeeds.

Since sharing a room with Carlos, she hadn't made love with him in that act, but she was tossed around by him every night. Her body was in bad shape all over, especially today-it was truly appalling and unbearable to look at.

'For my body's well-being, I have to temporarily sleep separately from Carlos. At least I need to give my body some time to rest.' With that in mind, after changing clothes and turning to leave, Mikayla saw the glaring mess on the bed. That must have been left from last night.

Suddenly, in her mind, Mikayla remembered that moment from last night. Carlos's magnetic voice echoed in her ear, his hot breath against her ear.

"Mika, I love you," Jaxon blurted.

With her gaze lingering for just a second, Mikayla left without any trace of nostalgia.

She thought, 'Perhaps being with Carlos for the rest of this life is not a bad idea after all.'

As Mikayla walked downstairs, a thought flashed through her mind. She saw Carlos already seated in the fully glassed dining room, reading the paper and waiting for her to come down. It seemed to have become a habit for him. Mikayla still sat across from Carlos.

Dexter noticed that they were both seated and began serving breakfast, one dish at a time.

However, in front of her, there seemed to be an extra bowl of herbal soup with a strong medicinal aroma. It didn't quite seem to match the other dishes on the table.
