Threads of allure, tugging at his heartstrings.
A surge of restless fire shot straight to his lower belly, roaming through his body, turning into an unquenchable heat that surged out through his nostrils.
Remington jerked his head up.
Damn, what had grandmother give him to drink? His nosebleed was flowing as if he’s caught some dreadful disease!
Lizetta lay on the bed, phone in hand. Thinking of Lucian’s room being cleaned up, she decided to google some information about Lucian.
A flood of headlines popped up on the Internet.

#A Whirlwind Life of the First F1 driver #
#Ardentia’s Most Promising Racer #
#23–year–old Lucian Bags a Milestone Point in His F1 Debut, Ready to Return Home#l

She didn’t give it much thought and closed her eyes again. certain that Remington knew she was pretending to sleep.
The bed dipped behind her, but she didn’t pay it any mind.
After all, they had been married for two years, and even after their intimate moments, Remington would usually sleep in another room.
Tonight, with Fiona watching, they had to sleep together, but she was well aware of their boundaries, they would definitely sleep separately.
Just as she was about to fall into deep sleep again, the man’s strong arms suddenly wrapped around her waist from behind and gently pulled her in.
Lizetta was drawn into the man’s warm embrace, and through the thin fabric, she could clearly feel the scorching heat of his body and the firm lines of his chest and abs.
He had taken off his robe.
The man’s slightly hoarse voice was right by her ear, “Asleep?”
