The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 223 +5

At Eastlake Valley Estate, Shakira wrapped a measuring tape around her fingers, trying to check the length.

Since tailoring needed precise measurements, Shakira secretly wrote down Walter's size, planning to surprise him.

As she was fiddling with the tape, Walter walked out from his herbal bath. She quickly put the tape away and changed her face to a broad smile. "Finished?" Shakira asked, patting the spot next to her. "Come here. Let me give you a relaxing massage."

Shakira was sitting cross-legged on the dark blue velvet bed, her short-sleeved pajamas revealing her alluring body.

As she spoke, her lively eyes sparkled with excitement on her charming face, like a playful little fox seeking its owner's affection.

Walter looked at her intently. "Why do you suddenly want to give me a massage?"

"I've been busy with the program lately and haven't given you acupuncture. A massage will help relax your tense muscles."

Walter didn't refuse and lay face down on the bed, enjoying the impromptu massage from Shakira.

Her considerate gesture delighted him.

However, her hands soon wandered to areas where they probably shouldn't have been.

Walter stayed calm, patiently waiting for Shakira to expose her true intentions.

Shakira secretly took the measurements around Walter's neck, shoulders, back muscles, and waist.

Then, Shakira's eyes involuntarily moved downward. Her hands began to slide sneakily down along his waist.

Just as she was about to touch Walter's butt, her wrist was suddenly grabbed. The next moment, the world spun, and Shakira found herself lying prone on the bed, firmly pinned down. Walter's warm breath fanned behind her ear. Shakira turned her head and met his intense gaze.

In the brief moment, their eyes met, she saw the unhidden desire in his eyes.

Startled, she quickly turned her gaze away as her heart beat rapidly, thinking, 'Oh gosh, I have accidentally crossed the line.

Walter was filled with restless energy. His voice was extremely hoarse and raw. "Do you think I'm just letting you have your way?"

His words were laced with a bit of breathlessness, making Shakira's face redden.

Suddenly, Shakira tucked her head under the covers, pretending to be upset. "I'm giving you a massage out of kindness, and you're mad at me? Fine, I'll go to sleep."

Watching her play the victim, Walter was angry yet amused, knowing he was powerless against her.
