Ignacio's palm felt dry and warm. He was always so considerate and gentle. It was easy for him to make any woman fall for him.What was more, Holly was his wife. She had no reason to resist his charm.Holly turned her head and stared at him in a daze. He remained focused on driving as if he had just said the most ordinary thing. It was anything but ordinary for Holly. She kept staring at him until they reached the hotel parking lot.As the car stopped, Holly finally snapped out of it. “Are we here?”She turned to open the car door without a second thought. As soon as her hand touched the door handle, however, Ignacio stopped her. He held her hand and stared at her profoundly. “You’ve been looking at me the whole way. What makes you think you could just leave now?”Holly was puzzled. “Ignacio?”He didn’t explain. Instead, he directly lifted her slender waist and placed her on his lap. With a slight click, the seat reclined backward into a shameful position.Holly's trench coa
At that moment, Ignacio froze for a split second.Caitlin Gray was a name that had vanished from his world for a long time. It had been so long that he believed they would never reconnect in this lifetime. However, her name was right there on his phone. Ignacio stopped, but he didn’t answer the call.Holly opened her hazy eyes and looked at Ignacio. Her red lips parted slightly. Her voice was husky from their passion, “What’s wrong, Ignacio?”“It's nothing.”Ignacio reached out and rejected the call. Then, he lowered his head and kissed Holly deeply.His kiss was so intense that Holly could barely breathe. Her delicate arms caressed his back weakly as she moaned his name softly, “Ignacio.”Only then did he relax a bit. Ignacio's gaze was deep. His dark eyes were locked onto hers, and neither of them spoke. He looked incredibly sexy. Holly felt a stirring in her heart and took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him passionately. Beside the pillow, the p
Caitlin sensed his gaze and looked over. Upon seeing Ignacio, her eyes flashed with a mix of nostalgia and surprise. Caitlin masked her emotions quickly and greeted in a cheerful tone, "Long time no see, Ignacio."It was late at night. Ignacio wore a black trench coat. It was worn by Holly.When he took it off and placed it on the chair's back, Caitlin caught the scent. She brushed her long curls lightly and said with a charming demeanor, "I hope I'm not interrupting you, Ignacio."He sat down and said to the bartender. "A martini, please."The bartender recognized him. The hotel staff had long spread the news among themselves that the famous Ignacio was staying here with his wife. He looked respectfully at Ignacio and said, "Please wait for a moment, Mr. Ignacio."Ignacio nodded slightly. He took out a lighter and a cigarette from the trench coat pocket. Then, he lit it and took a slow drag.Ignacio looked back at Caitlin with a distant gaze. "Isn't it too late to say you'
Holly's face turned pale. She looked at Ignacio and the woman hugging him. She wasn't dull enough not to figure things out. The woman in front of her was clearly the same woman who called Ignacio throughout the night.He hadn't answered her calls. Instead, he chose to meet up with her afterward. Are they lovers?Holly felt deeply embarrassed. At a time like this, no woman could remain composed. She pressed the button that'd close the elevator door, not waiting for Ignacio to explain himself.Holly didn't want to see him now, nor did she want to see his lover. The elevator doors closed in front of them slowly."Holly."Ignacio forcefully pushed Caitlin away and wedged his hand into the closing elevator doors. He tried to grasp Holly's hand to explain.However, Holly flung his hand away. She stood in the corner of the elevator. Her body was trembling slightly.She had married the wrong man. That was what she was thinking now."Let me explain, Holly." Ignacio stepped forward.
Ignacio had slept with her again and again tonight.Holly was already at her weakest. She had no strength left to deal with a man who had abstained for two years. She could barely endure it, let alone utter a word."Be good. Call me 'darling' and I'll let you go."Ignacio stared intensely at her delicate face. Her long black hair trembled against her fair skin, creating a captivating visual.Holly appeared innocent yet alluring. How was he supposed to stop?Eventually, she cried in his arms. Her long lashes were wet with tears while they rested against his shoulder blades. Holly whispered in a blurry voice, "Darling."After that, she felt ashamed and buried herself in the crook of his neck, not willing to come out.Ignacio held her close. He didn't continue. Instead, he just held her in his arms and let their skins touch. It was as if their hearts beat as one and that they were alone in this vast world.Ignacio called out her name with a touch of tender affection. He wasn
Meeting the parents?Holly was a bit surprised. She was about to say something when she heard a female voice which was both familiar and unfamiliar."What a coincidence, Ignacio!"Ignacio and Holly looked up. It was Caitlin. She was standing there with a coy smile.Caitlin wore a black silk slip dress, and her long black curls cascaded over her slender waist, exuding charm and sensuality. However, dressing like this early in the morning gave her a slightly worldly air.Ignacio didn't linger his gaze on her. Instead, he merely gave her a slight smile and remained distant.Caitlin wasn't deterred by that. She asked politely, "May I join you guys, Ignacio?"Holly nibbled on her sandwich, looking like she was waiting for the drama to unfold. Ignacio handed her a ham sandwich to eat before turning to Caitlin with a gallant demeanor. "Of course, you can join us. We'll be leaving shortly after all."Caitlin sat down and placed her purse on the table. She expected Ignacio to serve
Caitlin couldn't accept it.Ignacio took Holly's hand and said, "Excuse us, but we need to go.""Ignacio..."Caitlin quickly chased after them. She pushed her dignity aside and grabbed his arm. "Please listen to me, Ignacio. I only did what I did because I had no other choice. We had nothing back then, and that opportunity was right in front of me. "All I had to do was sleep with him..."Caitlin's voice trembled as she looked at Ignacio and pleaded for a chance.Ignacio gently removed her delicate fingers and said softly, "That was your choice, Caitlin. I don't blame you. "However, we had to break up back then, and it's not possible between us now."Caitlin started to sob."Did you ever love me, Ignacio?"She truly had no dignity left. Holly was Ignacio's wife, and she was standing right there. And yet, Caitlin asked him such a blunt question. There were quite a few people around who turned their heads to look.Underneath the crystal chandelier, Ignacio's features appe
Holly didn't want to hear it anymore. Ignacio reached out and stroked her hair gently. He spoke tenderly, "From the day we got our marriage certificate, I never planned on letting go. "What happened that night wasn't a coincidence. It was something I had planned for a long time."Holly's chest rose and fell with emotion. After a moment, she murmured and tried to regain her dignity, "I didn't realize you were such a pervert."Ignacio hadn't told her everything, but she could imagine how debauched the scene must have been. Holly's face was still warm when they got out of the car. Ignacio wrapped his arm around her as they entered the house. They carried the gifts that Anna had prepared. It was a gesture of goodwill for Holly's visit. Anna had chosen well. She selected items that Ignacio's parents loved.Jodie came to greet them as soon as they stepped inside. She ignored her son and took Holly's hand warmly. "Come in and sit down! Which fruit do you like? I'll cut some for
