Marriage Games with a Charming CEO novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25 The Wildcat and Leech

The storm was raging strong, and the howling winds rattled the windows.

The neighborhood roads were closed, and the weather station issued repeated warnings. Thus, Edmond and Alicia were stuck in their apartment, unable to go anywhere.

Alicia's condo apartment had only one bedroom.

Although her fever had gone down, her body was still very weak.

Edmond had not caught a wink since last night, and after making sure Alicia's fever had gone down, he was exhausted. He lay down on the bed, completely ignoring Alicia's protesting.

"Fine. Edmond Agos, you can sleep here as you please, but don't you dare to touch me." Alicia warned.

Edmond wrapped his hands around Alicia as he embraced her from behind. He buried his face in the nest of her neck and said hoarsely, "Shh, stop talking."

His hot breath exhaled onto Alicia's collarbone, sending a tingling sensation throughout her body before she stiffened up.

At first, Alicia planned to make Edmond sleep on the living room sofa.

However, when she heard his smooth rhythmic breathing, she could not bear to chase him out to the living room, so Alicia let Edmond hug her to sleep.

The scent that belonged to him lingered around her nose.

Alicia was very uncomfortable as, after all, they were a fake married couple. They had never been so intimated before.

However, she had to admit that the hug from Edmond was very comfortable, as he had a broad and muscular torso that was enough to provide her with warmth and security.

After a while, Alicia also drifted off to her dream.

Around 2 a.m., the phone rang.

Alicia was annoyed and whacked Edmond before ordering, "Hey! Go and pick up your phone. It's so noisy."

Edmond nuzzled his head against her shoulder and went back to sleep, completely ignoring her.

"Ring..." The phone continued ringing.

After three consecutive calls, Alicia was irritated and awakened by the annoying calls. She huffed angrily and took away Edmond's phone to pick up the calls.

Her voice was extremely annoyed as she answered the call, "Who is it? Why do you have to call so many times in the middle of the night? Are you not letting other people sleep?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.

Alicia looked down at the phone screen and realized it was an unknown number, making her even more furious.

Just when she was about to hang up the call, a condescending and delicate voice answered in disbelief.

"Why are you the one answering Ed's phone?"
