Chapter 432

Author: Light Breeze
Feeling bitter, Jessica headed to a bar to drink away her sorrows. When night fell, the bar became loud and pulsating with energy. The air reeked of cheap perfume, and people were dressed in revealing clothing everywhere.

Men and women clung to each other as they gyrated underneath the strobe lights. There was something cheap and sensually indulgent about the whole thing.

That was exactly what Jessica wanted. She'd been wild and rebellious in her youth, only learning to restrain herself when growing older.

Underneath the blazing club lights, she took off her coat, revealing her tank top and short skirt. She danced to the beat, twisting and gyrating sensually. She flipped her damp hair with every beat, subtly flirting with the man beside her. Each flip of her hair attracted his attention.

Gradually, the man tentatively snaked an arm around her, his eyes blazing with desire. She didn't turn him down. They danced together, slowly learning the rhythm of each other's bodies and moving

  • Leaving You Bereft   Chapter 439

    But tonight, Eleanor was unusually forward. Her slender, pale fingers tangled in his dark hair, gently massaging it. Her gaze softened, filled with affection. Michael was no stranger to romance, so he could easily sense the change in her demeanor.Michael looked up, his gaze darkened. "Eleanor?"Eleanor leaned in, wrapping her arms around his neck. She started with a kiss on his chin, then slowly moved up to the tip of his nose, then finally settled on his thin lips.Michael froze for a moment, clearly torn in a battle of reason and temptation. But in the end, he succumbed. Grabbing the back of her neck, he pressed his nose against hers, their breaths mingling. Then, came a deep, lingering kiss.One kiss turned into another. Eleanor had given him the green light, yet Michael didn't go all the way. Breathless, he stared at her deeply. In the end, his heart softened. He chose to satisfy her needs unilaterally, letting her experience the pleasure of a woman.But that wasn't what Elea

    Michael approached Eleanor and crouched before her. He reached out to caress her face, noticing the slight redness underneath her eyes. Her lashes fluttered when he touched her. He rasped, "I just want there to be someone who can care for you and the kids in the future."He didn't deny what he'd done.Eleanor's eyes grew even redder, and she raised her voice slightly in agitation. "That day won't ever come! Even if it does, I can raise the children myself, Michael! I don't need anyone to help me!"Michael's expression turned sad. "Think of it as me being selfish or cowardly, Eleanor. I don't have the nerve to bet on this—what if something happens at home and you don't have anyone to support you?"Sawyer is still a teenager. No matter how capable or outstanding he is, he'll still be held back by his age. Besides, you know very well that I don't have long to live."The flu had taken them all by surprise.The bright lights made Eleanor's face seem even paler than it actually was. Mi

    Maisie kept complaining about Dexter barging into the ladies' restroom as they left the restaurant, and he kept apologizing to her. She finally caved and forgave him when they got to the car.He was reluctant to say goodbye. He held her close and kissed her before looking at Eleanor's baby bump. He had a thousand things to say, but held himself back since Maisie was around. He said to her, "I'll see you again some other day."She nodded obediently. He lifted her and placed her in her car seat, rubbing her belly when she was buckled in. He still felt guilty over what had happened. She said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."That almost made him cry.After that, Eleanor got into the car. The window rolled up before Dexter's face, and he stared at her greedily before his vision was blocked. He saw a hint of moisture at the corner of her eyes.Had she cried?The sunlight was harsh, but Dexter remained standing there, his entire being wrapped in silence and solitude. Whenever he had free tim

    Dexter turned to look at Eleanor, his heart racing like he was a youngster in love again. He felt expectant and happy. Instead of correcting the staff member, he pulled out his wallet and smiled. "I'll have two sets, then. Switch the drinks out for warm water."The staff member keyed in the order. "That'll be 30 dollars."About five minutes later, the food was ready. Dexter headed to the table with the tray of food. Eleanor sat beside the window, her neck half-concealed by her long hair. From the side, she looked breathtakingly beautiful.Dexter's gaze darkened slightly as he sat down and placed the food before Eleanor and Maisie. "There's one set for each of you."He made sure everything was ready for Maisie before turning to look at Eleanor, his tone tender as he said, "It smells pretty good. You should have some."Maisie took a bite and found the chicken delicious. Eleanor helped wipe her mouth; she didn't touch the food Dexter had placed before her. She was only there to satis

    Jessica was pleasantly surprised to see Dexter. "Dexter, you're back!"She wanted to cling to him, but he shook her off. That hurt her feelings. "Why are you turning me down now that you're back? Can't we start over? I'll change—I'll change everything that you don't like!"The lights were bright, but Dexter's gaze was dark. He asked coldly, "Why don't you get a mirror and see what you look like right now? You whore."Jessica paled. Meanwhile, Dexter had already turned and headed downstairs with his document. She fell against the banister and wept for a long time before dragging herself back to the bedroom. She stood before a full-length mirror and took off her revealing dress. Then, she smiled bitterly as she looked at the marks all over her body.Dexter had looked at her with such scorn earlier that it was as if she were a germ. He didn't care that she'd slept with someone else—he only found her dirty.But why didn't he think the same about Eleanor when she'd married Michael? The

    Eleanor looked up at Michael's question, her calm and graceful appearance illuminated by the lights. After some thought, she said, "He did, but I didn't let him in."Michael sat beside her and took her book away. He flipped through a few pages before asking, "Why didn't you let him in if he came to see Maisie? She adores him."Eleanor scrutinized him, trying to tell how he actually felt. She said indifferently, "She doesn't need to see him, and I'll make sure they keep their distance from each other in the future."Michael smiled but didn't push her. He patted her leg affectionately and got up. "I'm going to shower."She hummed in acknowledgment and got up with him, heading to the walk-in wardrobe to pick out his pajamas. She kept her eyes lowered as she laid the clothes out, feeling like he had other things to say.Sure enough, when Michael lay beside Eleanor on the bed after showering, he stroked her baby bump lovingly and tenderly. After a while, he flipped onto his side and lo
