Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 330

The sound of running water echoed from the bathroom for what felt like ages.

In the end, the girl was carried out, cheeks flushed deep red, barely able to sit upright in the man's arms as he patiently fed her, spoonful by spoonful.

The young man's dark hair was damp and tousled, a bathrobe thrown loosely over his shoulders. The robe gaped open at his chest, revealing sculpted lines and a languid ease that came only after indulging his desires. He was in good spirits, not the least bit bothered that the girl had bitten his ear hard enough to draw blood. He ignored the fresh wound, focusing instead on coaxing her to eat.

But the girl had no strength left.

She turned away from the spoon he brought to her lips, bracing a trembling hand against his chest, pushing him away in protest. When she finally spoke, her voice was hoarse and barely above a whisper.

"When will you finally let me go?"

"You wanted to sleep with me, fine. You've had your way. Now let me leave-I swear, I won't tell a soul."

She was sick of being locked in this place, staring at the same four walls, seeing only one face, confined to this endless, suffocating routine.

Her mind was on the verge of collapse.

Just a sliver of hope that she could get out.
