Marriage Games with a Charming CEO novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8 Turning the Tables

Alicia remained unfazed. "It wasn't me." No matter how one heard it, it sounded like a feeble defense.

Edmond walked into the room, stubbing out his cigarette in the ashtray, then approached her. He cast a glance at her calm, beautiful eyes, his gaze drifting downward.

Her wine-red strap nightgown made the woman appear even more enchanting.

The man's bold gaze lingered on the pale skin below her collarbone.

"Were you unsatisfied that night?" His voice was full of enticing mischief, utterly incorrigible.

It reminded Alicia of that night. As he bent over her, whispering in her ear words that made her blush repeatedly, she bit his shoulder in exasperation, only to spur him into greater excitement.

She coldly turned her head away.

"Let's forget about that night. From now on, we'll live our separate lives, no crossing paths."

He raised an eyebrow. "We could try again. Today, and I'll make sure you're satisfied."

"There won't be a next time."

"We are legally married."

"So what? Are you suggesting you'll turn over a new leaf, never touch another woman for the rest of your life, preserving your virtue solely for me?" Alicia retorted sharply.

Edmond was about to respond when suddenly, the ring of a phone interrupted.

This time, it wasn't his phone.

Alicia quickly pushed him away, going to her vanity to grab her purse while answering the call, completely oblivious to Edmond's expression.

"Licia, I've completed the task you requested last time. I've sent it to your email."

"Thank you. I'll treat you to a meal."

"A meal is too formal. How about a date? Licia, I saw the news today. Everyone's saying things about your husband. That's really unfortunate! If you need anything in the future, can you think of me first?"

Alicia was about to refuse, but upon hearing Edmond approaching, her face changed. She answered with a radiant smile.

"How about going out for a drink now? My treat."

Edmond heard this and immediately halted, no longer approaching Alicia.

The person on the other end of the call was ecstatic.

"Okay, I'll take a quick shower and head out. See you later!"
