Calvin set his teacup back on the table before glancing at the silver wall clock ticking steadily in his office. It was still midday, and the stack of quarterly audit reports from the European branch still awaited his signature and sharp analysis as the CEO of Ashford Corporation."Amelie, just sit back and relax here, okay?" Calvin said in his deep baritone voice, which sounded warm despite its firmness. "Uncle still has some important work to finish before the meeting with the finance division.""Okay, Uncle Calvin! Go ahead and work. I won't bother you," Amelie replied with a sweet smile. The blonde girl leaned back against the leather sofa, gracefully crossing her long legs while pretending to be absorbed in her phone.However, the moment Calvin turned his chair back toward his desk and focused on the documents displayed on his laptop, Amelie's gaze shifted completely. Her clear blue eyes carefully traced every angle of his sharp jawline, broad shoulders, and masculine demeanor.A

As soon as the office door closed tightly behind Amelie, who had stormed out with irritated footsteps, Camelia immediately turned around. Her hazel eyes blazed sharply as she stared straight at the tall man standing before her, who still wore an innocent expression."Ow! Sweetheart, that hurts..." Calvin winced spontaneously as Camelia's slender fingers landed on his toned abdomen, giving him a fairly hard pinch through his work shirt."You really are an insensitive man!" Camelia scolded, her voice rising, filled with an overwhelming burst of irritation. She crossed her arms over her chest, her breathing short and uneven. "Are you really that stupid, or are you deliberately choosing to stay that way, Mr. Ashford? Do you even realize it? That blonde girl from Germany likes you!"Calvin frowned deeply before letting out a low chuckle, as though he thought his wife's accusation was far too exaggerated."That's impossible, Sweetheart. You've misunderstood. Amelie... I've always thought of

Camelia had only made it halfway down the quiet corridor on the top floor when the rapid sound of hurried footsteps echoed behind her. Before she even had the chance to turn around, a pair of incredibly strong, iron-like arms suddenly wrapped around her slender waist from behind. Whoosh! With one firm motion fueled by absolute strength, Camelia's entire body was lifted off the marble floor. Calvin carried her in a bridal style without paying any attention to the stunned looks from the secretary seated behind the reception desk outside. "Hey! Calvin! What are you doing?!" Camelia cried out, her beautiful face instantly flushing red at her husband's impulsive action. She hit Calvin's broad shoulder with the folder containing her design drafts. "Put me down, Mr. Ashford! This is the office! Maintain your dignity!" Calvin did not respond at all. His strong jaw tightened completely as his dark eyes remained fixed straight ahead. The tall man strode back toward his office, kicked the s

Thud.Camelia's slender body landed gently on the spacious black leather sofa, with Calvin immediately following and bracing himself firmly above her. The CEO's tall frame surrounded her like an impenetrable wall, shutting out the entire outside world. Calvin's dark eyes gazed deeply into his wife's hazel ones, overflowing with boundless adoration."Sweetheart... I love you. I love you so very much," Calvin whispered in his deep, husky baritone, his voice filled with the desire that had already reached its peak.Without giving Camelia a chance to respond, Calvin immediately lowered his head and captured her sweet lips in a deep, hungry kiss. Camelia closed her eyes tightly, wrapping her arms around her husband's strong neck as she returned the passionate kiss with equal intensity. Their lips remained locked together, expressing an undeniable sense of belonging.While continuing to kiss Camelia, Calvin's hands moved quickly and skillfully. He shrugged off his suit jacket, letting it sl

Inside the CEO's office, which was still tightly locked from the outside world, the hot atmosphere that had briefly subsided due to a biological interruption suddenly shifted into a new tension that was utterly intimate. Calvin was still sitting on the edge of the leather sofa with heavy breath, staring at his wife's beautiful face with a visible trace of frustration yet laden with absolute surrender.Camelia curled the corner of her lips slightly, a sexy and triumphant smile beautifully carved on her freshly flushed lips. She knew exactly how to tame her man's ego, which was currently tensing perfectly, without having to violate the boundaries of her body's condition this afternoon.With movements that were utterly graceful and meticulous, Camelia slowly descended from the top of the sofa, kneeling on the thick carpet right between her husband's two muscular legs. That instant action immediately caused Calvin's firm body to tense rigidly, his pair of dark eyes darkening perfectly as

Chapter 256

Inside the soundproof CEO's office, the remnants of intimate warmth slowly began to return to normal. Calvin was standing in front of a small mirror hidden behind a document cabinet, tidying back his clothes with regular movements. He tucked the edge of his shirt into his trousers, then put back on his dark gray formal suit jacket. On his neck, a faint reddish mark due to Camelia's spoiled bite earlier appeared contrasting, yet he deliberately let his shirt collar cover that part so as not to trigger gossip among the board of directors staff.While her husband was busy preening, Camelia sat relaxed on the soft black leather sofa while playing on her phone. Her slender fingers moved nimbly across the digital screen, checking several incoming messages as well as draft design sketches sent by her laboratory assistant. Occasionally she looked up, noticing Calvin's firm silhouette from the mirror's reflection with a thin smile laden with absolute ownership."Calvin," Camelia called without
