The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge (Anna and Justin) novel Chapter 1738

Ryan carried his beloved wife back to their bedroom.

In just a few swift movements, he removed the white cotton dress stained with paint from her body and carried her into the bathroom.

Steam filled the bathtub as Ryan carefully placed her inside. Afraid he could not control himself, he stayed by the tub, rolling up the sleeves of his black shirt and gently wiping her delicate, fragile skin.

Ryan pursed his lips tightly. He could not help but feel his heart ache.

Suddenly, he began to regret his decision.

If he had not taken on this task, he could have spent every day with Carrie. They could have lived a simple and happy life. Would that not be wonderful?

Carrie slowly opened her eyes. Just as she realized she was looking at Ryan’s handsome face, she suddenly woke up, stunned.

Suddenly, water splashed everywhere.

Carrie’s delicate body broke the water’s surface, her slender arms tightly embracing his neck as she burst into tears.

Hot tears fell on Ryan’s shoulders as he held her smooth body in his arms, wishing he could embed her into his flesh and blood. He got scared.

“What’s wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden? Did anyone do something to you, love?”

Ryan asked nervously, but Carrie just kept crying.

She was scared. She feared that Ryan would put himself in danger for her sake again.

She feared the darkness of night. She feared that she would wake up in the morning without Ryan by her side and that he would get arrested…
