Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 240

Chapter 240

"I was wrong, Kennie. It hurts..." Ophelia furrowed her brows, her watery eyes fixed pitifully on the man before her. Kenneth abruptly released her wrist, his eyes dropping to the red marks left on her skin. His brows furrowed deeply. Even though he hadn't yet vented his frustration, his chest was suddenly filled with warmth as Ophelia pressed against him.

She wrapped her arms around him, resting her cheek against his chest, separated only by the fabric of his shirt. She could feel his rapid heartbeat and the rise and fall of his chest, both driven by his anger. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied to you. I was wrong. There won't be a next time," she admitted softly, her tone earnest.

She truly seemed to regret her actions.

After all, she was indeed at fault this time.

If Kenneth hadn't shown up today, Ivy likely wouldn't have let her off so easily.

It had been a risky move on her part.

But Ophelia couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss between Kenneth and Victor.

She couldn't pinpoint exactly what, but the hunch was strong.

What's it?' she wondered.

"Humph... Do you think I'll forgive you just because you said that?" Kenneth's deep voice rumbled above her.

He forcefully pushed her away from his embrace.

His tone softened slightly, though his jaw remained tense.

His expression, while still stern, was less menacing than before.

Since he was angry, Ophelia had to coax him, of course.

Ophelia looped her arm around his and leaned closer again. "Then what will it take for you to forgive me?"

Even pouting didn't work.

Kenneth kept his gaze fixed straight ahead, his hands buried in the pockets of his tailored pants.

From her angle, Ophelia could only see his sharp, chiseled side profile. She stood on tiptoe and planted a kiss on his cheek.

Still, Kenneth remained unmoved.

When the elevator doors opened, he strode forward without even glancing at her.

He wasn't easy to appease.

Ophelia quickened her pace to catch up, and just as she reached him, a woman's voice rang out near the elevator. "Well, well... isn't this the famed Ms. Spencer? What a coincidence. Chasing after a man, are we?" Ophelia looked up, meeting the woman's gaze, only to barely notice the foot that stretched out in front of her.

her agile reflexes saved her from a complete spill. She still wobbled awkwardly for

moment.
