The Pretend Wife Chapter 149
Before leaving the shopping complex garage where my store is located, I made a considerate call to Mrs. P, informing her that I may arrive home later than usual tonight. It's important to me to give her a heads-up and ask her to hold down the fort until my return, although she doesn't mind. I believe it's a matter of common courtesy to let her know if our regular routine will be disrupted for any reason.As I embarked on my journey, I was filled with enthusiasm despite feeling uncertain about what to say to Noah when we meet. Or if we meet, my mind corrected me. I could only imagine how frustrating it must be for him, attempting to understand my intentions and continually falling short. One moment I'm gazing at him affectionately, and the next I'm pushing him away, behaving as if he's a predator ready to consume me. If I were in his position, I would be quite annoyed, so I can only speculate about how he must be feeling now.A man who possesses immense wealth and has the luxury of cho

As I cautiously approached Noah , he raised his glass to his lips, maintaining an unwavering gaze on me. His piercing eyes fixate on me, akin to a lion assessing the strategies of its prey, contemplating the optimal way to pounce and consume the vulnerable wanderer. As I drew nearer to his spot, he nonchalantly placed the glass on a nearby low stool, uncrossed his lengthy legs, and patiently awaited my next move.With a deliberate action, I raised the hem of my skirt above my knees, allowing ample space to straddle his thighs. Carefully, I descended onto his lap, positioning my hands firmly upon his chest, relishing the solidity of his expansive torso. The muscles beneath my palms were tense, reminiscent of tightly stretched guitar strings that threaten to snap under any additional pressure. Traversing my hands along his chest and shoulders, I maintained a fixed gaze upon his own eyes, attuned to the precise moment when their luminous curiosity transformed into a smoldering hunger.

When I returned home at 7:15 p.m., my daughters' curiosity was evident as they eagerly awaited my arrival. I bought a load of groceries and a bag containing six delectable glazed doughnuts. Eating snacks was prohibited after 4 p.m. in my house, but today was an exception. I was overwhelmed with happiness and craved something exceptionally sweet to round up the day. Expressing my gratitude, I sincerely thank Mrs. P for accommodating my spontaneous request to stay late with the girls. Your presence and dedication meant the world to me, and I want you to know how much I value your assistance."Cassandra , please don't mention it," Mrs. P responded graciously. "I genuinely enjoy spending time with the children, and after all, it's part of my role here, isn't it?"Overwhelmed by her kindness, I struggled to find a sufficient way to express my gratitude. Mrs. P goes above and beyond for me, and I wanted her to understand just how much her efforts meant to me.Mrs. P greeted me with a warm

Today, I decided to ditch my usual laid-back style and opt for something more fashionable. I wore a short silk wrap dress that featured sparkling gold beads at the ends of the sash. To complement my outfit, I adorned myself with elegant gold jewelry and styled my voluminous natural hair into a chic side-swept updo. Even my daughters couldn't help but notice the change in my appearance this morning."Are you headed to a party?" Anna inquired, a puzzled expression on her face."Your dress is absolutely beautiful," Bella exclaimed, her eyes filled with admiration."Thank you, my darlings. However, I'm not going to a party. Now, let's get ready for school," I replied, urging them to move along.Before they could inquire further about my choice of attire, I hurriedly guided them out of the house. I've made a conscious decision to keep my relationship with Noah a secret for as long as possible. The last thing I want is for my children to develop an attachment to him only to be left hangin

To my astonishment, instead of heading towards Clyde Hill as expected, Johnson steered the car towards Washington, gradually approaching the Grand Gross Oriental Hotel.Overwhelmed by the sight, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Is this where we'll be having lunch?" I've passed by this magnificent hotel on numerous occasions, yet I've never stepped foot inside.

After settling the girls into bed for the night, I swiftly returned to my bedroom with a sense of urgency, ready to make a phone call to Noah. This crucial moment had arrived, and I fervently hoped that his response would not be the dreaded news I feared."Don't worry too much about it, Cassandra ," Noah sighed. "What harm would it do if we make a quick stop at my parents' place in Spain? Wouldn't it be odd if I went home without even saying hello to them?""Well, you could go alone," I replied curtly. "Especially considering you didn't bother to inform me about it beforehand.""Listen, I'll be honest with you. My mother, in particular, is quite eager to meet you ever since she found out I'm dating someone.""Wasn't this relationship meant to be low-key?"I snapped."It was, but Reina recently mentioned to my mother that I have a girlfriend, and ever since then, she's been pestering me about it. I simply thought our trip to Spain would provide the perfect opportunity for her to finally

Over the next three days, Noah and I immersed ourselves in exploring Spain to its fullest extent. We made it a point to visit various tourist attractions and indulge in sightseeing activities. To ensure my daughters were part of the experience, I diligently recorded each outing and shared the videos with them via my cousin's WhatsApp. Alternatively, I would connect with them through Skype during our trips, allowing them to witness our joyous outdoor adventures in real-time.On the fourth day of our stay in Spain, we were abruptly awakened at 7 a.m. by the persistent ringing of Noah's phone. Our sleep schedule had been adjusted since arriving in Spain, causing this unexpected phone call to catch us off guard."Darn it, I should have turned off my phone last night," Noah grumbled into his pillow. "Who in the world could be calling at this hour?""Please answer the darn phone so I can get some more sleep!" I replied drowsily, feeling increasingly annoyed by the incessant ringing that w
