All Chapters of His Contract Wife: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Kelvin hadn’t expected Leila to take the lead, but her mouth was on his immediately. That didn’t slow him down. His hands slid under her shirt, and she moaned when he fondled her perky breasts. He had imagined himself doing this so many times but didn’t think it would happen tonight.“Kev,” she breathed.“Leila,” he whispered in reply. Desire danced in her pretty, brown eyes. She must have noticed the bulge beneath her ass. They were about to cross into new territories, but he wasn’t sure where she stood on that matter. “I want you.”Instead of words, Leila leaned in, her forehead touching his. “I want you, too.” She brushed a chaste kiss against his lips, and he groaned. He could sense an incoming but, and surprisingly, he didn’t mind. He would agree to her terms. “But I’m not ready to have sex. Not

By Monday, life in the McKenna household had returned to normal. Leila liked to think it was better than their regular because, though the rest of last week had been uneventful, Kelvin went out on Saturday morning and returned home for lunch. A late lunch, but they ate lunch and dinner together. They even managed to watch the first episode of the Chinese drama Freya introduced to her, and it hadn’t felt awkward when he held her.Sunday was the same. He didn’t have any meetings, so they were mostly indoors. The hours had passed too fast, and she wasn’t looking forward to being apart from him after spending so many hours together like a real couple.Today was the day Kelvin signed the contract and legally bound her to continuous meetings with Charles. She wasn’t sure how she would handle it, but thinking about how much it could benefit Darren made it easier to breathe. She would find a way to

Leila reached Stone Café before Charles. There might have been café in its name, but it was nothing like one. Someone opened the glass door for her as she walked up to the entrance. The inside was cool and welcoming, a contrast to the café she left.Every item in the room oozed money. From the fancy chandeliers to the wall lights and expensive-looking chairs. Even the linens covering the tables. As soon as the door shut behind her, someone was at her side to ask for her name and reservation. It reminded her of the dinner she had with Kelvin. Perhaps this was common with highbrow restaurants. She hadn’t realized they were at their anniversary dinner until Kelvin mentioned it, but she’d saved the date now, so she would never forget it.“Ma’am?” the lady called out to her.“Leila. Leilani McKenna. I mean—” She cleared her t

“Freya wants to talk to you.”“I don’t mind.” Leila's eyes bulged, and Kelvin chuckled. Too bad he had disappointed her with his reply. He curved his index finger, wiggling it as he said, “Give me that.”Her shock rendered her immobile. He got hold of the phone and cleared his throat. “Freya.”“Kev. Wow. Hi. Hey, Kev. I mean, Mr. McKenna.”Leila facepalmed, and he placed a kiss on her knuckles. She pulled her hands down a little so he could see her roll her eyes playfully.“Kelvin is fine,” he told Freya. Only family called him Kev. “How are you?”“Fine. Thanks for asking.”“You wanted to speak to me?”Freya hesitated, and he suspected she didn&rsqu

A groan tunneled out of Kelvin’s throat. He had forgotten how stubborn his sisters could be. He pointed at his jacket draped over the empty seat, and Madonna helped him with it. His phone was tucked in the jacket pocket, and when he pulled it out to show her pictures of them, it was switched off. He couldn’t remember now if they had any photos together because he wasn’t a fan of those, and Leila never suggested it.“My phone is dead. I need to call her.”“Mom?”“No. Of course not. I mean Leila.” His sister’s lips thinned, and he groaned into his palms. “Please don’t tell me you called Mom already.”“Of course I did.” She folded her arms across her chest, forgetting to treat him as a patient, not the elder brother who she thought was too stubborn sometimes. “You were un
