Semua Bab Once An Overlooked Housewife, Now A Queen Of Fortune: Bab 141 - Bab 150

The man nodded eagerly, already planning his next move. Wren could see the calculation behind the friendly facade. He wasn’t interested in her specifically. She was simply the most accessible route to what he actually wanted.“And speaking of impressive facilities, I was very intrigued by the description of the history museum in the prospectus. I’d love to see it if we have time.”Dr Thorne recognised the deflection but was powerless against it. “Of course! I’d be delighted to show you. It’s one of our proudest achievements. This way!”His enthusiasm for the museum seemed slightly less effervescent than for the sports complex.Julianne whispered excitedly to Kael, “Can you believe this place? Kids these days have so much we couldn't even dream of! We had leaky ceilings in our ‘media centre,’ which was just a glorified closet with an overhead projector.”Wren overheard and couldn’t

"Oh…is he someone I know?”Wren looked at her phone. “You don’t know him? He’s a friend of William's. We met at his birthday party a while back. We talked for a bit, danced some. Then I had to leave suddenly. We ran into each other again yesterday at the school opening event, and he called today to ask me out.”“Mhm…don’t know him…but hello? I’m sorry when did I miss all these chapters?”“I didn’t think I was going to see him again, chill,” Wren said.“Well anyway, you finally said yes to someone at least. What does he look like? Give me details.”Wren turned back to the mirror, adjusting the drape at her neck.“Well…using your favourite word, He’s hot.”“Oooh,” Grace sang eagerly. “And?”“He’s got nice brown eyes that are just….I don’t know he just has an intense gaz

Felix was still on the dance floor as other bodies were busy jumping around. What just happened? He turned around slowly, looking around in the crowd for the woman, but of course, he didn’t see her anywhere.“Who was that?”Charlotte rested her hand on his bicep, also looking around the room as she asked the question.Felix blinked away from the spot where the raven-masked woman had vanished.“Who?”“I saw a lady with you just now. You two looked like you were having an intense conversation.”He forced a dismissive chuckle and pulled her closer. Felix smiled. “It was just someone I made it clear to that I’m not single.”The answer seemed to satisfy her. Charlotte’s face lit up; her arms slid around his neck, and he pressed a performative kiss to her lips. And then they started to sway to the music. Even then, Felix’s eyes were still wandering around the space.Charlotte sa

Dean’s tongue warred with Wren’s desperately on the couch of her living room. They were alone in the house, with Kael having rightly excused himself although lingering around in the lobby.Dean scraped his teeth against her lower lip, his palm kneading her inner thigh through the restrictive jeans. He, fingers digging into the muscle above her knee and dragging upwards possessively. His other hand was a brand on her back, busy arching her pelvis off the couch as he felt himself trying to control the strain in his own jeans.His kisses moved lower and he slid his body down hers, to the hem of her shirt, pushing it up slowly as his mouth followed the exposed skin there. He deliberately kissed her stomach and continued upward but didn't reach her breasts. He just resumed grabbing her thighs and kissing her deeper. Wren herself was disappearing into sensation. His palms were warm through her jeans, grabbing and releasing in rhythm with their kisses.“Sho

The whole experience was completely surreal to Wren. It felt like something that had happened to someone else and she was only a spectator in her own body. Wren stood barefoot in her kitchen, waiting for the coffee machine to finish gurgling. The experience continued to replay in flashes. She lost her virginity to Dean, of all people, on a random Tuesday night. She remembered Felix, and how she used to have this childish fantasy of her virginity to her husband in a beautiful room, maybe with rose petals and champagne. She’d held on to it throughout her entire marriage to Felix, waiting for something that would never come, clinging to an idea of how things should be instead of accepting how foolish she was for expecting anything from that man.Now she’d slept with Dean, someone she liked but never planned on being intimate with so quickly.Also, as grand as the thought was, feeling-wise, it was kind of underwhelming. There was nothing cosmic or earth-shattering
