The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 345 Early Morning Argument

He then leaned backward, even lighting a cigarette and starting to smoke. Crispin had never dared smoke in front of Stephanie to give her the impression that he had excellent morals, and it was clear that she had always treated him that way. Had Elias not shown up, she would have remained devoted to Crispin but sadly, she now fancied Elias. However, Crispin had to become the Allegras’ son-in-law, so she could only be his wife.

Ding! Dong!

The doorbell suddenly rang.

Stephanie had arrived, which made Crispin perk up at once. He stubbed the cigarette in the ashtray and closed the curtains with a remote before heading toward the foyer.

Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!

The doorbell kept ringing as if she was panicking already.

Crispin eyed the switch on the wall and immediately switched off all the lights in the room, making his surroundings pitch black. After that, he slowly opened the door but hid behind it.

Meanwhile, Stephanie was confused when the door opened. What is going on? Why didn’t he switch on the light? It is completely dark!

“Elias, what are you doing here? Why haven’t you switched on the lights? You-” Before she could finish, she was dragged abruptly inside by a man’s arm before the door closed quickly.

“Help! What do you want?”

She was pushed against the wall and could sense clearly that the man’s body was moving closer. She thought that it was Elias, and she somehow blushed involuntarily even if it wasn’t visible in the room.

“W-What do you want to do to me?” Her voice shook.

In the next moment, Crispin lowered his head and kissed her forcefully and deeply.

“Mmph! What are you doing?” Stephanie attempted to struggle but somehow welcomed it after remembering that it was Elias. Her mind was blank. Is it Elias who is forcefully kissing me? Goodness! It is amazing yet exciting!
