Marriage Games with a Charming CEO novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Who Exactly Knew How to Play

The meal was served.

Alicia pretended not to understand the words spoken by Edmond.

The couple ate quietly, though no words were exchanged, and there was no eye contact. Yet, their actions and rhythm while eating were remarkably synchronized.

In the eyes of others, this handsome man and beautiful woman truly seemed destined for each other.

Alicia felt a flutter in her heart.

So, when Edmond was about to settle the bill, she confidently took out her own card, a slight smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth as she said with a radiant smile, "This meal is on me, dear little brother."

He was quite susceptible to her seductive and tender ways.

His mood lifted, and as they returned to the car, he took the initiative to drive and even brought her hand to his lips for a kiss.

"Alica."

"Yes?"

"I have even more potent ways to please you."

She feigned indifference. "That's enough for today."

But he wasn't satisfied.

He drove directly to the villa where the two hadn't returned to in a long while.

Since the couple no longer lived there, the servants had been dismissed, and part-time help had taken over.

Now, the spacious house felt empty.

Alicia thought Edmond might repeat the same move as yesterday, pressing her against the door as he kissed her.

Instead, he headed upstairs.

"Wait for me in the living room."

Alicia was a bit surprised, especially when she saw him packing his belongings.

"Are you going on a business trip?"

"Moving in to live with you," he paused and added, "for the convenience of pleasing you every day."

He was relentless with this joke.

This time, Alicia didn't refuse Edmond.

When they arrived back at the apartment, he suddenly suggested, "Take a week off next week, and let's go on a trip."

"Why would we suddenly go on a trip?"

"Our honeymoon was disrupted last time."

She hadn't expected him to still be thinking about that unused hotel room.

After a moment of consideration, Alicia responded, "I might not have time. I've been taking too many unauthorized leave days recently."
