Chapter Seventy-Five

By the next morning, as soon as Max woke up, he felt an intense headache and fatigue throughout his body. Realizing that he wasn't in his usual room, Max sensed something was off. Before he could comprehend where he was, Pearl stepped out of the bathroom.

"Max, you're awake? If you're feeling tired, you can sleep a bit longer." She spoke gently, her hands caressing his face.

Max propped his hand against his forehead and gently pushed Pearl away. Only then did he remember that last night, just as he was about to have sex with his wife, Pearl had called him to her room.

"What time is it? Why didn't you wake me up?" Max grumbled. Fortunately, the previous night, when he abruptly left his room, he had made up an excuse about meeting a business partner here, so Bella hadn't called to check on him.

Pearl pouted but didn't show outright displeasure. She had changed clothes and had even carefully prepared a fresh set for Max.

"I saw that you were tired, so I didn't want t

    Chapter Seventy-SixBella didn't know what method Max used last night and this morning to make Pearl leave so obediently. She and Pearl had once been close friends until she discovered Pearl's betrayal, and of course, Bella knew that Pearl was not the type to easily follow others' orders.Moreover, how could a woman like Pearl sit idly by while her man was intimate with another woman? But what amused Bella most was that Pearl seemed more like Max's wife than Bella.In fact, with Pearl gone, Bella should have felt relieved, but she was somewhat disappointed—she had thought Pearl would insist on staying. That was the Pearl she knew; this easy compliance felt unusual to Bella.Because Pearl left, Bella had to think of a way to avoid having to be with Max.But to relieve what she considered this pressure, Bella happily went shopping. After all, the goal for this morning was to buy a lot of expensive brands and spend a lot of her husband's money. I don't know why, but Bella really wanted t

    Chapter Seventy-SevenBella raised her eyebrows, no longer looking at him but focusing on her meal instead. "Yes, you're very handsome. Don't you know how good-looking you are?"Levi's appearance and height were both impressive; even without knowing anything else about him, just his presence alone was enough to draw attention wherever he went. His masculine, seductive beauty seems to be loved by a god, meticulously depicting every line on his body.Bella simply spoke the truth, something everyone would acknowledge and feel, yet Levi seemed delighted as if he had never heard anyone praise him before."Really? You truly like my face? So, between me and Max, who's more handsome?" Levi asked eagerly, like a child.Bella looked around nervously, sensing many eyes on them. She quickly replied, “It's you, you are more handsome. Just keep it quiet, you want everyone in this restaurant to pay attention to us?”Their relationship remained a secret that shouldn't attract too much attention. Thou

  • The Temptation of Adultery   Chapter Seventy-Eight

    Chapter Seventy-EightBella also guessed Max's discomfort, but she thought that her husband would be angry and loudly scold her, which would start an argument between the two. Bella will use that as an excuse to return and not continue to stay in the same place with Max anymore.That was the idea she had come up with as soon as Max handed her the card to use. However, Bella hadn't thought that her husband would actually feel remorseful and guilty about abandoning her last night.Max's humility and patience surprised Bella quite a bit because it didn't align with what she had previously thought; someone like Max wouldn't usually show deference to someone weaker.When Max saw Bella return without anything, he immediately asked, "So, where are the things you bought?"Bella let go of him, excitedly saying, "I gave the address to the staff, so in a few days, the items I bought today will be delivered."As she spoke, she secretly observed Max's facial expression, seeing his face turn ashen

    Chapter Seventy-NineBella didn’t think much of it because Levi's personality had always been erratic, and what she said wasn’t wrong. Whatever their relationship was, Levi might forget, but she wasn’t allowed to.No matter how good Bella's mood was, she was currently very tired after the flight and wanted to eat quickly and go to sleep."Stop being childish, I don't want to create more trouble for myself." Bella sighed, her tone and demeanor expressing exhaustion as if she wanted to quickly drive Levi away.It was precisely this attitude of Bella's that once again irritated Levi, but listening to others was not his thing. He opened the pizza box without hesitation and took a slice, looking at Bella provocatively."I understand your concern, but unfortunately, I don't feel like leaving right now. Besides, I haven't done anything to you. I can still sit here as your husband's friend. Or are you worried because you're thinking of something inappropriate?" Levi smirked provocatively.Lev

    Chapter Eighty-OneMax looked at Pearl with a doubtful gaze. Did Pearl really not want to harm Bella? Was it all just for the plan? Max, of course, knew what Pearl was thinking. The two of them had been together from having nothing until now, so they understood each other very well."Why are you looking at me like that?" Pearl felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw Max looking at her that way, as if in his eyes she was a very evil person.Pearl acted innocent, while massaging Max, she said, "I know what you're thinking, Max. But we both know that Bella is different now. She doesn't even care about or pay attention to you anymore. Do you really think that after she gets pregnant with your child, she will love you as she used to? We've all seen Bella's change. I don't want to make you sad, but... it seems Bella doesn't love you as much as she used to...""That's right..." Max responded as if mesmerized by her words. Pearl was too correct, so Max couldn't deny it. More than anyone els

    Chapter Eighty-TwoReturning to work, Bella felt much more at ease, though she often found herself pondering Levi's words from that night. Levi's words weren't difficult to understand, but what confused her was his gradually changing attitude. The thing was, Bella couldn't determine in which direction his attitude was shifting.Bella thought she should be the one feeling anxious and urgent, not Levi. This was why she couldn't grasp Levi's behavior. Whenever she thought about it, she wondered if Levi was perhaps misunderstanding their relationship.Bringing those thoughts and feelings home, Bella didn't expect Max to already be there since she thought she had returned early. Thinking about how Max didn't discover what happened the previous night, Bella's face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and anxiety, but she quickly regained her composure.“Why are you home early today?” Bella asked, trying to sound casual.Bella arrived just as Max was finishing cooking dinner. Seeing her, he c

He glanced at Max, “You came alone? Where’s Bella?”“Here I am!” Bella cheerfully walked in, quickly choosing a seat next to her father and handed him a prepared gift box. “Dad, look at this, it’s the high-grade tea that you really like. I went through a lot of trouble to get it.”In contrast to his reaction to Max, Mr. James beamed with joy upon seeing his daughter, his face bright with happiness. Max, trying to appear cheerful, sat down opposite them. Despite being married to Bella for four years, in his father-in-law’s eyes, he was still an outsider.“Father, why did you call Bella and me here?” Max didn't want

Pearl wanted a few comforting words from him, but his indifference left her deeply dissatisfied.Max didn't look at her; he focused on his documents. With a sigh, he said, "Enough. Tonight, join me and Bella for dinner at this restaurant. She really wants you to come. She considers you her best friend, yet you treat her this way. Don't you feel guilty towards Bella?""WHAT? Max… what are you talking about? You're asking if I feel guilty towards Bella? Are you crazy? Why should I feel guilty towards her?" Pearl was furious at Max's words, unable to comprehend how he could say such things.They had been secretly involved behind Bella's back for years, even before Max and Bella got married. Together, they planned to take over Bella's father's company and intentionally made it impossible for Bella to conceive. Everything that had happened was a joint effort between Pearl and Max, not just her alone, yet now Max made it

    Chapter Ninety-OneAfter the health check-up that day, the person most anxious and eagerly awaiting the results was Pearl, even though she had nothing to do with the health check-up. In contrast, Max seemed almost indifferent to it and showed clear annoyance whenever Pearl brought up the subject."Can you stop it already? I know what I need to do. Stop nagging about it all the time. Don't you find it annoying? If you have so much free time, you should focus on your own work. You know very well that the salary you receive every month is too high compared to the effort you put into your job," Max snapped irritably. He was growing increasingly fed up with this woman. Who was she to demand that he listen to her?Too troublesome!Pearl immediately retorted, "Why are you yelling at me? What did I do wrong by asking you to do this? You regretting it now? Don't forget, there's no turning back for us anymore."Of course, Max understood Pearl's words better than anyone, but he deliberately pret

    Chapter Ninety (1)The Previous Night…The party had come to an end, with most of the guests having left, leaving only the staff to clean up. Max was so drunk that he was no longer conscious, and slumped over the food table despite the waitstaff's attempts to rouse him."Sir? The party is over...""Just continue with your work. He's my friend; I'll take him home," Levi said, raising an eyebrow at Max, who was asleep on the table.The male staff member immediately bowed, "Yes, sir."Levi called two bodyguards to help Max into the car. The driver was surprised, seeing his master allow someone else into the car besides Ms. Bella, moreover a drunken man.As the driver was about to take orders from Levi, he said, "I'll drive him home."In the car, it was just Levi and Max. Max was completely unconscious, sleeping in the back seat, unaware that Levi was taking him home.Seeing Max's sleeping form in the rearview mirror, Levi couldn't help but smirk.

    Chapter NinetyMax wanted to relive the sensation of last night, but he couldn’t remember anything at all—not even a blurry image in his mind. This made him even more regretful and unwilling to accept that he had made love to his wife while being completely unconscious.Just as he was about to touch Bella's chest, she gently pushed him away and spoke in a tired and somewhat coquettish tone, “Last night was enough. I can't continue anymore. Besides, you were so drunk last night that you had no control, and now I’m extremely tired and have no energy left.”Hearing his wife’s words, Max felt both happy and confused. He didn’t know how to feel about what Bella said because he couldn’t remember experiencing any of it. Did they really make love? But he couldn’t doubt her since the love marks on Bella's neck and chest, along with her exhausted state, were clear evidence of how crazy their last night had been.Seeing Max standing there lost in thought, Bella pouted and asked, “What are you th

It was the first time she had been ignored and shown disdain by a man.As soon as Max returned to the office, Pearl clung to his arm and said coquettishly, "Max..."Before Pearl could finish her sentence, Max gently pushed her away and sighed, "How could you be so rude, Pearl? You can address me however you want in the company, but Levi is not just my friend; he's an important client. Thanks to him, I've been able to secure many successful projects.""I... I didn't mean to, I just thought since he's your friend, he's also my friend. I just wanted to be friendly and create a harmonious atmosphere. He didn't need to be so harsh with me." Pearl pouted, feeling she did nothing wrong, thinking Levi was being too strict and arrogant.Max didn't want to continue this topic but felt the need to make Pearl understand. "Are you delusional? Levi is your friend? Do you think you're on the same level as him?

She simply smiled lightly and said, “Nothing is wrong, Dad. Don’t worry too much, I will handle everything myself.”“You? Handle everything yourself?

    Chapter Eighty-SevenThe atmosphere in the room began to feel strange, and Bella was confused by his question."Are you asking about the nature of our relationship? What are you talking about? Of course, our relationship is mutually beneficial. You help me get revenge on them, and in return, I fulfill your sexual needs." Bella said casually because it was the truth, an obvious truth. She didn't understand what Levi was implying.Levi didn't show any particular reaction as if he had already guessed Bella would respond that way. He sighed softly."But I feel that in this relationship… I'm not getting any benefits."Bella didn't understand, but she knew his words carried a hidden meaning. She frowned slightly, "What do you mean? Speak clearly, you’re not someone who likes to be vague."Levi's gaze was cold and dangerous. Bella couldn't look into his eyes for too long, so she took a sip of tea to calm herself. She didn't know why Levi was angry, but since she needed his help now, she coul

He's not only handsome and tall, but he also seems very wealthy... like someone with high social status. Bella, tell me, which prestigious family does your boyfriend belong to? He doesn't seem like an ordinary salaried worker like us."Lauriel spoke with admiration in her eyes, not just for Bella's exceptionally attractive boyfriend but also because she had heard that the man had paid all of Bella's hospital bills, wanted to transfer her to a private room, and ensured she received special care. This level of attention wasn't something an ordinary man could afford, everyone knows that hospital fees are not cheap, and hospital services are extremely expensive.Bella knew Lauriel had

I have things to do and can’t stay here any longer."Hearing this, the doctor continued to advise Bella to stay for further examinations. Bella raised an eyebrow and said, "You don’t need to worry. I’ll rest well at home, so there’s no need to stay in the hospital.""But if you leave now, what am I supposed to tell Mr. Karter?" the doctor murmured. However, he couldn’t stop Bella if she wanted to be discharged.Since there were only the two of them in the room, Bella heard him clearly.
