Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 171

Chapter 171

After dinner, Ophelia went to the study with her design drafts, indicating that no one should disturb her work.

The pencil scratched across the paper, producing swishing sounds.

Lisa brought in a cup of milk and said, "Mrs. Sinclair, it's almost ten. Why not finish it tomorrow? You don't want to strain your eyes."

"Okay, almost done. I'll go to bed later. Goodnight Lisa, Oplielisaid, glancing toward the bedroom.

His magnetic voice slipped into her ear, and he sounded like a persuasive bad wolf.

The self-discipline Ophelia prided herself on almost vanished.

Kenneth wrapped his arm around her waist and lifted her hips, holding her upright like holding a child,
