CHASING THE CARPENTER'S HEART CHAPTER 23 A BIT CRAZY
CHAPTER 23 A BIT CRAZYLiam stood at the edge of the bed, his eyes sharp, his jaw clenched as he held back his still-erratic breathing. His fingers moved quickly to the row of buttons on his shirt. One by one, they undone with a firm, almost violent movement.Chatrine's breath hitched, her chest pounding. This was no joke; she was facing a man who used to pound on wood blocks.Once all the buttons were undone, Liam quickly pulled the shirt back behind his shoulders. With just one swift tug, his thick, firm chest muscles were immediately exposed. His tanned skin, the typical color of a hard-working man, sunburned, glistened with traces of night sweat.Liam's broad chest wasn't just thickly muscled; every curve of muscle was alive with defined lines. His shoulders were broad, his back strong, his abs solidly covered with bulges of muscle that weren't exaggerated but real, displaying a masculine physique that was the result of pure hard work, not just physical training in the gym.Chatri
CHASING THE CARPENTER'S HEART CHAPTER 22 A PROMISE AFTER DINNER
CHAPTER 22 A PROMISE AFTER DINNERDinner proceeded in a joking atmosphere. Isabel continued to make cheeky comments about her son."I think today is really wonderful, even this morning you were still making a fuss just to go in the same car.""Mom…" Liam complained, rolling his eyes.But even though he continued to be annoyed by his mother's teasing, every time his eyes met Chatrine's, the pounding in his chest reverberated. Chatrine did the same; they repeatedly glanced at each other furtively, then quickly looked away.The intimate gaze was filled with high-voltage electricity, full of promises that had been left unfulfilled since the morning. They were adults, but waiting in this situation was still thrilling, because they both knew what was about to happen soon...Liam gripped his fork so tightly that a small sound of metal clanging could be heard. He looked down, pretending to be busy with his food, but inside he was getting impatient.Chatrine was also anxious. Every time Liam's
CHASING THE CARPENTER'S HEART CHAPTER 21 RESTLESS HEARTS
CHAPTER 21 RESTLESS HEARTSThat afternoon, Chatrine sat in Eva’s room with a laptop open on her lap. The screen displayed rows of reports she was supposed to review. But her eyes were unfocused. Her fingers typed, stopped, typed again, then erased everything.Her mind was too noisy.Why did Olivia come to Liam’s house?Chatrine bit her lip. She pictured the soft smile of the dark-haired woman. How dare she come back after betraying Liam? Worse, how dare she get close to his mother?Chatrine shut the laptop with a sharp snap.“Enough. I won’t let that woman win.”She was not Chatrine Madison if she gave up easily. Not even a storm could shake her resolve.“Olivia Marshal, you have no idea who you’re dealing with.”She quickly opened Eva’s wardrobe. Her fingers moved through simple dresses, far from her usual elegant taste. She frowned more than once, then finally pulled out a light blue cotton dress.“This should work.”The cut was simple and slightly loose, clearly not from any famous
CHASING THE CARPENTER'S HEART CHAPTER 20 CHATRINE VS OLIVIA
CHAPTER 20 CHATRINE VS OLIVIAThe gallery warehouse was supposed to be filled with the sounds of scraping boxes, wooden crates, and clinking tools. Instead, several workers were gathered near a long wooden table. Crates that should have been tightly nailed shut were left half open.“Listen carefully,” one worker, Simon, whispered as he leaned in. “I’m almost certain that lace underwear belongs to Olivia.”“Nonsense,” another worker, Hardy, cut in immediately. “Olivia is married.”Simon spoke again. “I heard she’s about to get divorced. This morning, I saw her come to meet Liam, and they left together.”“No, it definitely belongs to Chatrine,” Robert interrupted. He was the oldest and most experienced among them. “You saw it yourselves. Liam kept yelling earlier, but suddenly he became so obedient when he followed that blonde woman.”A few workers chuckled.“Chatrine is hotter. Just imagine the sway of her hips.”“We should just make a bet,” Simon said, slapping a wooden crate. “If it
CHASING THE CARPENTER'S HEART CHAPTER 19 LIAM’S HOT-TEMPERED BLUNDER
CHAPTER 19 LIAM’S HOT-TEMPERED BLUNDERThe atmosphere inside the gallery warehouse grew increasingly tense. It was not from machines or sunlight, but from Liam’s voice, which rose sharply every couple of minutes.“That nail is crooked again! Are you blind?” Liam snapped in irritation.“Don’t drag the boxes like that! If they get damaged, who’s going to pay for it?” he continued, scolding his employees.“You! Lift with both hands, not one! Good grief, this feels like training kindergarten kids!”The workers exchanged uneasy glances. Cold sweat mixed with frustration. Their boss was usually a perfectionist, but today Liam seemed like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode over even the smallest mistake, like a speck of dust on a box.Marko watched quietly from the side of the room. His gaze was sharp, but a sly smile played on his lips. He had sensed something was off about Liam ever since he arrived earlier.Then, as Liam crouched to pick up a hammer that had fallen to the floor, a piec
CHASING THE CARPENTER'S HEART CHAPTER 18
In Liam's eyes, Chatrine wasn't just a woman. She was a storm. A stubborn woman, always curious, always determined to win, even at the expense of her own ego. A woman who was being challenged, it seemed, needed to be resolved immediately. Liam's thoughts drifted to the memory of the dressing room in the Loghan family home. He had nearly stripped Chatrine naked, slipping his fingers into her soft, pulsing folds. And now, in this room, with only a breath's distance between them, Liam knew he wouldn't stop halfway. The air in the study thickened. Their gazes locked, hot, full of challenge. Liam tore off a corner of the thin latex wrapper with his teeth, quickly, roughly, making Chatrine hold her breath. In one swift jerk, the aluminum foil ripped. "Wrap it up," Liam said curtly, his voice hoarse, like a command. He handed Chatrine the apple-flavored latex ring he had just opened. Chatrine froze, her heart pounding against her ribs. She was too shocked to move. But Liam didn't giv
