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.

She needed to visit the Huxley family's fashion company early morrow, so it was time for bed.

However, she was too afraid to go back to the bedroom.

She realized she shouldn't have flirted with Kenneth when they got hack. His desire for revenge was intense. She was uncertain whether he would allow her to sleep peacefully now that her period had ended.

Lisa had just left when she caught a glimpse of Kenneth's silhouette in the corner of her eye.
