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.

Ophelia kept her head down, randomly sketching a few lines with the pencil.

"If you want me to buy your studio, just tell me," Kenneth said arid walked around the desk to stand beside her.

Ophelia looked up and immediately understood what he meant when she saw his lonely, longing expression.

Once he bought her studio, she wouldn't have to worry about her current work and could focus on spending time with him. Kenneth leaned in close, with his hands on the armrests of Ophelia's chair, his handsome face suddenly close to her. Ophelia almost stopped breathing, her eyes locked on him without blinking.

The unique cool and pleasant scent of him lingered around her nose after his shower.

His disheveled hair softened the sharpness of his features, and his expressive eyes looked at her with fervent passion. Kenneth whispered, "Little one, it's time to sleep.

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

Ophelia was captivated.
