The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1613

Craig clenched his jaw, his jawline sharpening with tension.

As soon as he spoke, his voice tightened, "Let go of me."

"No way!"

"Aurora, stop messing around!"

Blinking, her long, thick lashes fluttered, her eyes carrying a flirtatious drunkenness, "You called my name, I'm not letting go!"

"..."

"Craig, give me a kiss." Aurora propped herself up with her elbow, slowly moving closer to him, "I missed you all day today!"

"Missed me, yet didn’t contact me all day, and went out for dinner without telling me, huh?" Craig grabbed a T-shirt and pulled it over her head, "We’ll settle this when you're sober."

She pouted in dissatisfaction, "Then why didn’t you contact me either?"

"..."

"Why is it always me who has to reach out first?" The corners of Aurora's eyes reddened with a pitiful look, "Do you even love me?"

It was only when she was this drunk that she would voice such a grievance.

Craig suddenly realized he hadn't given her enough sense of security.

So much so that this girl, who grew up with everything handed to her, the darling daughter of the Lopez family, still felt insecure around him.

"Aurora, that’s a silly question." He gently wiped away her tears with his fingertips, "I should be the one worried you don't love me."

At those words, Aurora’s tears flowed even more, unstoppable.

"But... but I always feel like you agreed to marry me because I pressured you, not because you really love me... you're just afraid of me..."

Craig’s lips twitched slightly, pulling her into his embrace, stroking her long hair over and over, "I am afraid, afraid I’m not good enough for you, afraid of all the other excellent men around you, making me, just an ordinary guy, feel like I don’t even have the right to win you back."

Ever since that man disappeared leaving debts behind and his mother fell seriously ill, his eyes saw nothing but the need to earn money to pay off debts and keep the debt collectors away from his mother.
