Wedding Night Passion：Sickly Master hold me tight のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

She wasn't trying to trick him. After spending time with Jeffrey Maugham, he didn't seem like someone who was ill at all.He had a sharp mind and an authoritative presence that didn't match someone with mental health issues.Moreover, at the banquet, he conversed fluently with the elites, which was not something you would expect from someone who had been confined at home for decades.Jeffrey Maugham did not respond to her.Selena Patrick's gaze wandered between his eyes. "If you are a normal person, can I assume that the man I randomly grabbed that night... might have been... you?"Jeffrey Maugham remained calm.He didn't rush to answer but wanted to hear more from her."From the moment I first saw you, I felt a sense of familiarity. Your voice, your scent, even your... breathing, all seemed familiar. If my assumptions are correct, then the man who was with me that night... was you."Jeffrey Maugham stood up, his hands in his pockets. His steps were neither large nor hurried as

"Uh..." Although it was a bit awkward, the receptionist still checked the buyer's information with enthusiasm. Unfortunately, there was no useful contact information left. "...No contact details.""Really can't find it at all?"The receptionist shook her head and handed the receipt back to Selena Patrick, "I'm really sorry."Holding the receipt in her hand again, Selena Patrick felt a sense of emptiness.Who could have bought this old necklace?Perhaps, they simply liked it.After all, her mother was once a well-known jewelry designer. Though the necklace was old, its design was quite unique. If someone truly loved it enough to buy it, they would take good care of it.Riding her electric bicycle slowly into the J city University campus, Selena Patrick took out the accommodation application form from her backpack and walked into the principal's office.Although she had already submitted the application online and it had been approved by the school administration, they required a

Selena Patrick hadn't seen Arno Wright for years. In her memory, he was still that boy who was older than her but shorter in stature.As she walked out of the school gate, a man leaning against a black SUV in the distance waved at her.Selena Patrick quickened her pace and approached him.The transformation in Arno Wright was nothing short of dramatic. Not only had he become more handsome, but his height... by her estimation, he was now around 185 cm tall."It's been a long time, Selena.""Arno Wright, you've really grown. Is the water abroad rich in calcium or something?""You're still the same as when we were kids, always ready to tease me," he said with a smile, opening the passenger door for her. "Get in, my little princess.""Thanks."The car slowly drove away from the entrance of J city University. Despite not seeing each other for many years, there was no sense of unfamiliarity or distance between them. It felt like they had only been apart for a few days rather than sev

A kiss was merely an appetizer.That night, it was the first time they had shared a room since their marriage.Handing themselves over to each other once again, there was a mix of familiarity in their unfamiliarity."Turn... turn off the light, please." She was truly shy.The man reached out and turned off the bedside lamp.In the darkness, their passion flowed freely.After everything was said and done, Selena Patrick was tightly held in Edward Maugham's arms, with him kissing her hair. "Get some good sleep. I'll take you to school tomorrow.""Edward Maugham?""Hmm?""Do you really believe that I didn't fool around outside?" She really wanted to know what he was thinking.He kissed her on the forehead. "Hmm.""But in the car, you clearly didn't trust me one hundred percent." She could feel it."I did not."Really?Selena Patrick wasn't sure.The next morning, Edward Maugham personally drove Selena Patrick to school.After getting out of the car, she slung her bag over

Sitting in the bus, she could still see the villa that had already been auctioned off. It was a not-so-large house, two stories high, with a yard of moderate size. All her happy memories before the age of six were there. Unfortunately, times have changed, and it now has new owners. It's a place she can never return to. Selena Patrick took out her phone and snapped a picture of the villa, which now belonged to someone else....Returning to school, Selena Patrick's mood remained low. The bulletin board at the school was crowded with people, but she had no interest in what was posted there. Sylvia Ingersoll was also among the crowd. Seeing Selena Patrick, she hurried over to her side. "Selena, you're finally back.""What's wrong?""Someone printed out photos of you and Arno Wright reviewing manuscripts in the computer room and plastered them all over the campus. This is clearly an attempt to ruin your reputation." Sylvia Ingersoll was furious; she had torn down quite a few posters fr
