Penny had no idea what her expression was like at that moment. Her design skill was just questioned, making her eyes slightly reddened with anger.As a designer, this was more severe than being insulted to her face.At this moment, there was not a trace of a smile on her face, and her glass-like eyes blinked twice.“I wouldn’t dare. I just heard Ms. Shaw call you and knew you two were going on a date tonight.”Caleb just looked at her. He swallowed lightly after a long pause.“You’ve been staying in hotels like this since you got married. Does your family have any objections?”Caught off guard by his sudden change of topic, Penny was a bit surprised, but she answered honestly.“My family is having an emergency recently, and this place is closer to the hospital.”“Why are you staying on my floor?”He still had not used his card to open the door and was simply staring at her.He looked effortlessly good. Yet upon closer examination, there was a sharpness in his eyes.It was as
Caleb’s hand, which had been stretched out in front of her, was clean and slender. It was pleasant to the eye.However, beneath that beauty, it seemed as though there was a beast lurking. It was cold and somewhat dangerous.Subconsciously, Penny took a step back. However, his other hand reached out and rested on the wall behind her.She was trapped.Penny pressed herself nervously against the wall, but creating distance between them seemed futile.His hands, one in front and one behind, had effectively blocked her way.She swallowed nervously, not daring to look at him.In such a standoff, women often found themselves in a vulnerable position.To outsiders, it appeared as though he had her encircled in his embrace.The atmosphere was intoxicating, but Penny needed to remain clear-headed because this was Caleb Fergerson.There was absolutely no possibility between her and Caleb.Just then, her phone rang, dissipating the ambiguous atmosphere. She breathed a sigh of relief.P
It felt as if wild beasts were lunging at her from behind.In the next second, she was lifted by someone and placed on the cabinet at the entrance.“Mr. Fergerson!”Her voice trembled with fear. She was now sitting at a height level with him because she had been lifted onto the cabinet.Caleb was quite tall, standing at 1.88 meters.Penny, out of fear, leaned back against the wall. However, he grasped her chin firmly.From their first night together, she knew he was very dominant in bed—totally different from the cold and noble image he presented to the outside world.Otherwise, he would not have sent her straight to the hospital.With Penny’s chin grasped, she did not dare to move. Tears formed in her eyes.Caleb looked at her face, his other hand resting on her waist.He leaned in and kissed her. He pried her lips apart, giving her no chance to refuse.Penny was taken aback, her body stiffening all over.When she regained her senses, she began to struggle and try to get b
Penny stiffened, finding it hard to ignore him.“Mr. Hill.”She called out, then quickly walked past him toward the exit.Winston caught a glimpse of the marks on her and noticed the design of Kensington Gardens in her hand. There was slight redness in her eyes, and her fingertips were trembling. It all seemed like she had been bullied.“Penny.”He called out once.Penny’s steps faltered, then she heard his mocking tone. “Was Caleb that rough?”Penny’s shoulders trembled slightly, but she pretended not to hear him. She quickly lowered her head and hurried away.Winston chuckled softly before pressing the close button on the elevator.Upon reaching the top floor, he knocked on Caleb’s door.After three minutes, Caleb finally opened it.Winston first sneakily sniffed around the room, detecting no post-encounter scandalous scent.“Caleb, what if I gather everyone now and tell them you tried to force yourself on a married woman? Would they believe me?”At that moment, Caleb wa
Winston took the documents and shouted inside.“I’m leaving now. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about tonight—including Charlotte.”The door to the suite closed, and the place fell silent.Caleb stood by the window of the master bedroom, gazing outside indifferently.What met his eyes was the myriad of lights. The view from this window was the most breathtaking.However, he only glanced for a moment before looking down at his fingertips.Her softness and fragrance seemed to linger there, going deep to his very core.Winston was right.He was still aroused.He did not even know why.She was just a woman, after all. Why did he suddenly grab her when he saw her deer-like, panicked eyes?For a split second, there was an urge to ravage her and to make her a part of him.Was it because he had been abstinent for too long?He had never entertained such thoughts before, not even self-pleasure.Was it because he had suppressed his feelings for too long?He furrowed his brows jus
If it were Penny, she could confidently say that Caleb merely treated her as a toy to be played with and then discarded.However, with Charlotte, Willow dared not say such words.The receptionist almost instinctively looked toward Willow. This woman had previously booked a room on the top floor. Today, she was back, and she insisted on inquiring about the information of the guest in that room.The top floor was where Mr. Fergerson’s suite was, and along that long corridor, there were only two suites. One was Mr. Fergerson’s permanent room, which had been redecorated. The other was the one open to guests.Since anyone could reserve that room, why did this woman persistently want to know the information of the person who booked it?It was apparent she was targeting Mr. Fergerson.The receptionist, not wanting any trouble, was about to deny her inquiry. However, the glance she had just given had already betrayed Willow.Willow was stiff all over, and she turned to leave.However,
Penny had already returned to Dawn Haven Villa. On the way over, she called Lucas to say she was not going over.Lucas felt somewhat disappointed, but soon after, he called a woman he had been involved with.Since he could not have Penny, he thought he might as well invite another woman over. After all, he had already paid for the dinner beforehand and did not want to waste it.…By the time Penny got back to Dawn Haven Villa and sat on her bed, she still felt the sensation of his lips wandering on her skin. The sensation was so intense it felt like it reached her bones.Other than that one night, she had never been this intimate with a man.She quickly filled the bathtub with water. When she undressed, she saw numerous red marks on her body. Her face turned bright red from embarrassment, and she immediately hid in the bathtub.After a comfortable bath, the tingling sensation slowly faded away.While wearing her pajamas, Penny heard Lucy knocking at the door.“Ms. Sullivan, yo
Caleb did not respond. He simply lowered his head to slowly adjust his cufflinks.The silver-blue cufflinks were particularly noticeable. They were a gift from Charlotte.Penny heard footsteps on the stairs coming back down. Charlotte appeared with a gentle tone.“Caleb, come upstairs with me. I’m really worried.”After speaking, it was then that Charlotte noticed Penny. Her gaze sharpened instantly.“What are you doing here?”Just at that moment, the doctor in charge of Nani approached.“Ms. Penny, please come upstairs. The surgery is expected to take 40 minutes.”Penny breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the once stifling space becoming spacious again. She quickly nodded to both Caleb and Charlotte nearby.“Mr. Fergerson, Ms. Shaw, I’ll head upstairs first.”Charlotte remained silent, her gaze fixed on Penny’s retreating figure.Thinking about the hair she had found in the hotel room made her uneasy. Whose hair was it?Plus, just now in the hotel, she was about to embrace
