Divorced, Dazzling, and Desired のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 321 - チャプター 330

Even so…Renee sighed. "Now? Don't you think it's a little late for that?"More importantly, she wasn't feeling… lustful.In fact, sleep felt like the better idea."It's the weekend tomorrow," Jay pointed out.It was good, as it sounded like he was being so dutiful, but…"No, forget it." Renee sighed again. "Working life is really taxing—I'll see you later. My assistant will send you the check soon, that's it. Goodnight, baby.""Wait—"Jay clearly had more to say, but Renee had already hung up.-Still in Bodhi Hotel, Jasper flung his phone on the table as he felt despondent yet helpless like never before.He turned on the lights and stood at the window wall, smoking two cigarettes to calm his rage.The clean glass clearly reflected him wearing nothing but a white bathrobe, all while he felt like a joke.Rubbing his temples, he returned inside the bedroom to call Sam. "Come drink with me.""Shit, don't you know what time it is?" Sam swore. "It's fucking two in the morning

Sam adjusted his glasses nervously like a nerd who had trouble speaking up, even as he apologized, "I'm really sorry, Ms. Whitley… I was delayed because of a little something.""It's fine—I understand." Renee smiled in turn. "We're all adults. Everyone has their personal issues."Sam was a treasure for Genome Tech, and a treasure in her heart, so she naturally had to baby him."Thank you for your understanding." Sam nodded gingerly, looking stiff and poor with words like a proper introvert.Those who were familiar knew that he was a two-faced sicko—always fearless with friends, but also a bumbling introvert with those he was unfamiliar with.But was that bumbling side genuine? Certainly not—it was just a cover, as he relished how his friends would shoot him weird looks, while those who didn't know shower him with pity.The best hunters always presented themselves as the hunted, after all."Well, you're working here now, and we're all friends here," Renee said behind her desk,

After lunch, Renee was working again when Julian called. "Renee… Kayla's dead."Renee never looked up from her documents as she replied, "What does that have to do with me? I have no connection with her."She could feel Julian doing a double take even on the other end.Silence ensued, and he continued, "I just want to say that we're even now, with her dying and getting her comeuppance. You hate her, but you have no reason to hate me now."See? Who talked like that?Not even bothered to answer, Renee hung up on him, but her phone rang again not soon after she put it down.It was an unfamiliar number, and Renee answered, thinking it was a potential client.Instead, it was Lydia, crying hysterically and cursing, "Renee Whitley! It's all your fucking fault! You killed Kayla! She wouldn't have died in jail if not for you!"This isn't over, bitch! I'll bury you even if it means sacrificing my whole family! Die! Die! If it wasn't for you, my sweet, innocent daughter wouldn't have died

After showering, Renee turned off the lights and stepped out in her bathrobe.Her eyes were still not used to the darkness, however, so she skirted along the edge of the bed in case she tripped or hit her leg."Ah!"She gasped in panic as she was suddenly collapsing on the soft mattress and pulled into an embrace as a melodious voice spoke into her ear, "You won't fall with me around."Falling loosened her bathrobe in turn, and she felt a spark as her cool skin pressed against his warm chest, leaving her numb all over.She had taken the lead last time because she was drugged, but she was conscious this time and therefore had trouble adapting.Her hands pressing against his chest, she said stiffly, "Calm down, I…"She really wanted to ask for time to get herself ready, but the man seemed to read her mind and wrapped one hand around her waist, the other locking fingers with her while he leaned in for another kiss.Unlike before, this kiss was tender as he seemed to relish it, his

Jasper had missed Renee so much it was driving him crazy, and it was the first time he had ever really missed anyone.Still, he only held her until it was half past four and left reluctantly.To avoid Renee from suspecting a thing, he took his change of clothes and dirty laundry, as well as the five hundred grand check from her purse.She'd get suspicious if he didn't take it, since he was not a legal gigolo.-Renee was woken by the alarm at seven in the morning and was turning around when she felt her body hurting from head to toe.She gasped, "Ow…"She stayed in bed, staring at the ceiling as she flushed, remembering the wild lovemaking from last night.She had certainly never expected that she could engage in such debauchery, as the boy seemed to be able to awaken her primitive instincts, driving her crazy.But even she had to admit that it was a good experience…Smack!Renee suddenly slapped herself on the forehead as she sighed, exasperated with herself. "Ugh, I must b
