Chapter 156

Author: Ninth Cup
Winter’s eyes widened as she stared at Gavin.

This was obviously his way of making her go to Chris herself.

She nodded. “Fine. I’ll just replace it.”

Even though getting a new one would take about a week, and she needed her press badge for Monday’s interview.

Still, she worked for the station’s news department. If it came down to it, the station could issue a letter to get her through it for now.

But she was still furious. She looked up at Gavin and snapped, “I should’ve given your number t

  • Game Over, Mr. CEO: Your Wife Is Done   Chapter 356

    Winter was far too drunk to stand. Chris lifted her into his arms, and her head fell softly against his chest.He carried her off the terrace and down the steps.The staff were already waiting downstairs.They had heard the helicopter and knew Chris was taking Winter away again. Once he and Winter left, they would leave too. They would only return from time to time to clean the house, maintain the grounds, care for the flowers and the lake Winter loved most.It had been this way for years.“Mr. Xander,” the staff said in unison.Chris walked steadily with Winter in his arms. She didn’t feel even the slightest jolt. It was as smooth as if she were sleeping in a bed.When he stepped out of the villa, moonlight fell over them. The sea breeze carried waves of floral scent through the air.The island was planted with rare, expensive flowers. If Winter had paid closer attention, she would have recognized the same notes from the perfume she had used earlier that afternoon.Chris carr

    Winter watched as Chris took the bottle that should have been hers.Her expression stiffened for a moment, but she gave up the thought of snatching it back.She stayed seated across from him, quietly watching as he finished the entire bottle and set it down.“Don’t regret it.” Chris’s hoarse voice sounded forceful, but beneath it was something she couldn’t quite name.A plea.Yes. Winter heard a trace of pleading in it.And it had come from Chris Xander, of all people. From a man who had always stood so far above everyone else, cool, noble, and untouchable.She had only had two glasses. How was she already drunk enough to start hallucinating?Her fingers paused slightly.But when she looked at him again, his eyes were clear and calm, as if nothing had happened.Winter picked up a new bottle. She lowered her head and stared at the bubbles in her glass for a long time before finally asking, “Have you ever missed that child?”If the baby had survived, he would be one year and o

    “Since I agreed to play, let’s add one more rule.”Winter looked at Chris, who had spent years in business. “What rule?”“After someone answers, if the other person is satisfied with the answer, they drink. If they’re not satisfied, they don’t.” His tone was calm. “And since those three chances to drink are so precious, each drink should be one full bottle.”As he spoke, he opened another bottle and filled both of their glasses nearly to the brim.“Fine,” Winter answered readily.She could handle three bottles.“You go first.” Winter glanced at Chris. Without thinking, she picked up two peanuts and put them in her mouth.To be fair, they were really good.Chris leaned back in his wicker chair and asked in an even tone, “If William and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?”Winter stopped chewing.She stared at him in disbelief, her brows drawing together.What was wrong with him?But after that brief pause, she answered without hesitation. “I’d save Wi

    The moment Winter finished speaking, Chris sitting across from her answered calmly, “All right.”But after agreeing, he looked at her with a deeper meaning in his eyes and said in a low voice, “Didn’t you say I have no credibility with you? Why do you still want to play this game with me?”“So are you going to lie to me?” Winter met his eyes directly, refusing to back down.Chris’s gaze darkened. “No.”Winter didn’t quite believe him.But she could judge his answers for herself.She set down her utensils and stood. “Fine. Meet me on the terrace in an hour.”Chris watched her leave the dining room. Then he slowly set down his utensils and walked toward the kitchen.The staff were startled when they saw him come in.“Mr. Xander, is something wrong with the food?”They had prepared everything according to the menu he had provided. Even the smallest details, down to how much salt to use, had been written out for them. All they had to do was make the dishes Winter liked.“No,” Ch

    “Pervert!”Chris looked at her, standing in the bathroom doorway. Everywhere her nightgown didn’t cover was flushed red, even her toes tinged pink. As if nothing had happened, he bent down, picked up the nightgown from the floor, and tossed it back into the trash.“If you don’t want it, don’t throw it around,” he said calmly. “Are you hungry?”Winter ignored him. She turned and walked to the sink. She lifted her right hand and sniffed it, then turned on the faucet with her left.His voice came from behind her. “It’s already clean.”He shouldn’t have said anything.The moment he did, she felt like she could smell it again.Furious, she kicked the bathroom door shut, blocking him out.She pulled open the cabinet to her left. Without thinking, her hand went straight to the second shelf. She grabbed a bottle of perfume and sprayed her right hand over and over until the mist turned to droplets and her skin was soaked in it.Only then did she stop.Suddenly, something felt off.He

    The moon slipped behind the clouds.The room fell into darkness.Chris’s arms tightened around her, pulling her close. He buried his face against her neck, his lips brushing lightly over the pulse at her throat.It was so soft she didn’t feel it in her sleep.She had showered before bed. The walk-in closet only had silk nightgowns. The size fit her perfectly. The length, too.But with the way he held her, the thin straps had slipped off her shoulders and fallen down her arms.As his eyes adjusted to the dark, he lifted his head from her neck. A faint, intoxicating scent drifted into his senses.He lowered his head again, his nose grazing something impossibly soft.As she shifted unconsciously in her sleep, that softness brushed against his lips.The restraint he had held onto all day snapped in an instant.*The sleep oil worked too well.Winter slept deeply.In her dreams, she sometimes felt like she was drowning, unable to breathe. Other times, she felt wrapped in warmth
