Semua Bab Too Late to Regret: Bab 161 - Bab 170

Charlie raised an eyebrow.Sophia thought to herself, Oh my god, that excuse was worse than nothing at all! How am I supposed to play along with that?Do you really think your bestie can pull off a miracle rebirth from the ashes?!“Mr. Clemens,” she said with a forced smile, “our Candice goes completely blind at night—short-sighted and far-sighted all at once. She’d be lucky to see her own hand in front of her face.”She wasn’t going to let her friend suffer alone—if they were going down, they were going down together.Candice pursed her lips silently....It’s fine. As long as they believe she’s blind, who cares whether they believe anything else.Charlie crossed his arms and said nothing.Jerry and Rex both wore the same expression—completely speechless.“It feels so nice and breezy up here~~”Her clueless younger brother, Oliver, was happily enjoying the wind. He was wearing shorts and slippers, his black hair tousled by the breeze, delicate features full of youthful energy, carefre

A wave of warm breath brushed against her skin.“Don’t be mad… Let me ‘cover’ you again.”“…”What the hell do you mean, cover?!Who wants that?!Candice struggled, but Charlie didn’t let go. He guided her hand slowly across his waist. Through his shirt, his abs were heating up, solid under her touch. Her eyes didn’t dare drift any lower.“T-That girl earlier… You—do you really not know her?”She tried desperately to change the subject.Charlie answered with a lazy hum, deep and magnetic. His head leaned against her, and with deft fingers, the hook at the back of her top was silently undone…Her breathing grew shallow and uneven.Quick, then slow. Then quick again.“L-Let’s just talk, okay? D-Don’t—”Don’t do this…Just as he was savoring her like dessert after dinner, his phone suddenly rang.Candice snapped out of her daze instantly.Her cheeks flushed red. She pushed him away and stumbled to her room, slamming the door shut behind her and locking it with a firm click.Charlie glanc

She twisted—She twisted again—Ugh! Nothing!Why was his body hard like rock?She couldn’t budge his waist at all, and in the end, it was her own waist that nearly got snapped. Her palms, now flushed and warm, merely kneaded his sides, and yet her legs turned to jelly, her body rippling like a lake stirred by wind.Eventually, she stopped struggling—just let him take what he wanted.Finally, the fierce, demanding kisses gradually softened.“I’ve tested it now,” his hoarse voice murmured against her lips, still short of breath, reluctant to leave. He pecked her gently, “A taste… just isn’t enough.”“…!”Her lips were blocked again.Her tongue swept away.He kissed her thoroughly—fierce, gentle, deep, lingering—like he was savoring every flavor of her existence.Candice felt weak, dizzy, barely able to breathe. When he finally let her go, she was gasping for air in his arms, like someone dragged to the bottom of the sea and shown a brief, dazzling glimpse of a glorious empire beneath t

“You—”Candice was startled, and an inexplicable sense of panic stirred in her heart.Kyle’s face darkened, and seeing her reaction—her eyes softening, her demeanor that of a flustered little woman—he almost ground his teeth to dust.Does she really like Charlie that much?“No, you cannot invite him!” Kyle's voice was low and dangerous.“I will invite him.” Candice straightened up, regaining her composure. By the time she looked back at Kyle, her eyes were once again cold and impassive.“No, he’s not allowed!”“Yes, he is,” Candice replied with a nonchalant tone, the words almost drifting off her tongue.“...”Kyle’s eyes practically flashed with fury. He looked ready to bite someone.Candice took two steps back.Even though Charlie’s arrival had given her more courage, Kyle could still be terri

Candice stared at his hand. “…”Wasn’t this a little too exaggerated?!Charlie, as if reading her inner thoughts, helpfully reminded her, “Jackson always did this.”His slightly lowered gaze carried a hint of grievance.Candice faltered, “Then I… I can take you to the trauma clinic. Adonis can rub some herbal wine on it for you. His skills are excellent.”Charlie: “…”He sighed and extended his hand toward her. “Whoever I got hurt for, should be responsible.”Candice gave a sheepish smile. “I didn’t say I wasn’t responsible. It’s just that… my technique might not be the best, so I thought maybe a professional would be better…” Under the weight of his intense gaze, her voice grew softer and softer. “But… if you don’t mind… I could boil an egg to rub on it for you.”A flicker of amusement danced in Charlie’s eyes. “So… your place, or mine?”Candice fell silent.“Or…” He leaned in, lips brushing against her ear, his low voice murmuring, “Your parents’ place? Weren’t you going there?”Her
