Jilted Bride 163

Chapter 163

That night, Ophelia picked a date, which was June 1st.

Kenneth lost his cool and questioned, "Little one, do you realize that June 1st is over three months away? Are you seriously asking me to lead an abstinent life during the prime of my life?" "I'm just asking you to save your energy, so when I need you, you'll be ready to give it your all!" Ophelia said with a sly smile.

Kenneth was momentarily taken aback by his own words.

He wondered, 'For when she needs me? She only takes her initiative once in six months.

Kenneth held Ophelia by the waist, pinning her beneath him, and said, "I've got plenty of stamina, so there's no need to conserve energy."

Ophelia didn't dodge or shy away. Instead, she hooked her arms around Kenneth's neck and leaned in, kissing his lips gently.

Kenneth's eyes turned passionate as he stared at Ophelia for a while, as if he wanted to have her right now.

Ophelia said, "Sorry, Mr. Sinclair, but I've got my period. Even if I want you now, I guess it's not gonna happen!" Her eyes, usually looking so innocent, sparkled now, arousing Kenneth's desire. Seeing her soft pink lips move, Kenneth gave her a deep kiss..

Even though he couldn't engage in sexual activity with her, he didn't refrain from doing all other things.

Ophelia regretted her decision. She realized that seeing a tempting yet unattainable woman only intensified a man's desperation.

It was only when Ophelia's breathing became labored and her lips turned a darker shade of red that Kenneth finally released her, pulling her close as they drifted off to sleep.

It appeared that Ophelia's suffering was just as much as she had anticipated.

The next day, Kenneth left early to work.

Ophelia had a lot of work to do after the holidays too. Kevin's With Love as My Cause was ready to start filming, and Rex Reyes needed to finalize a contract with SN Entertainment. Ophelia also had to visit the companies given to her by the Reyes and Huxley families.

Ophelia held all the official seals for the Reyes family's jewelry business.

Just as she was about to leave, Jackson sent her a message, saying that the analysis results of the slum's seawater composition he helped with were out.

Ophelia didn't quite understand the two water quality reports.

Jackson seemed to have anticipated this and included a voice message.

Jackson said, "In simple terms, the water quality is severely substandard. It contains numerous trace elements and pollutants, along with extremely high levels of microorganisms. "This water should be classified as polluted seawater, at level four or higher, rendering it unsafe for marine life."
