Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Dad Calls Me Baby: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

Ethan's head spun. A vein bulged at his temple.She dared to call him that?He instinctively took it as a vicious insult, payback for the things he'd hurled at her back at the cove."Lisa!"His voice came out as a low growl. His fists clenched tight at his sides.He wanted to grab her, force her to explain. He wanted to wipe that infuriating mark off her neck.But when he met her mocking eyes, the pent-up fury deflated like a punctured balloon.What right did he even have?"You're calling me that?"His voice was hoarse.---"Think whatever you want."I didn't bother looking at him again. My eyes fixed on the glowing red numbers above the elevator doors.Ethan's chest tightened, choked by my indifference.The rage that had nowhere to go was forced down.All that was left was a burning ache in his gut. Sour. Weak."Lisa. These three days you didn't come to the office... was it because of me?"He pause

The crisp afternoon light of Zurich, shining through the screen, reflects in my eyes.I curved the corner of my lips and smiled. "Alright then. A ride in Mr. Yan’s personal car and all the treats you could ask for. I’d better think hard about how to repay this.""No need to think." His voice was deep and magnetic. “Be there. I’ll see you when I land.”I smiled softly. "I promise I’ll be on time to welcome you back."The call ended.Silence fell over the suite again, as the glowing lights of Victoria Harbour outside the window flowed silently by.The Breaking Cocoon exhibition was only four days away. Alexander Knight was returning early—this tough battle was finally going to reach its climax.I had no mood to finish the ginger milk pudding. Turning around, I dived straight into my work emails.In stark contrast to my relentless hustle was Ethan Knight’s self-destructive drunken stupor.His d

Alexander Knight pushed the driver's seat back with one hand, and I sank into the soft leather upholstery."Alexander, you..."Before I could finish, his scorching body pressed down on mine.He tore off his gold-rimmed glasses and tossed them onto the dashboard.One hand locked around the back of my neck, the other pinning my resisting wrists, fingers interlaced tightly.His searing lips crushed down on mine, hard and possessive.He pried open my lips, kissing me deeply and fiercely—his nose brushing my cheek, his breath hot and ragged, filled with pent-up longing that surged forward without restraint.My mouth was flooded with his scent.I struggled for only a moment before looping my arms around his neck, responding eagerly, my fingertips digging into the hair at the nape of his neck.We were like two beasts tangled in a narrow cave, our lips and teeth clashing.After what felt like an eternity, Alexander pulled back slightly

The two walked side by side into the quiet lobby.It was late, the front desk was unmanned, and the hall was completely deserted.The numbers on the elevator panel jumped slowly.My stomach was warm, but my heart was sent into a fluster by the blunt threats in the car earlier—hot and chaotic."Tomorrow when the exhibits arrive, I'll be there in person," Alexander Knight said, turning his head to fix his dark gaze on my face."Um," I replied, my eyes lingering on his thin lips, so close I could almost feel his breath.That suppressed sense of unwillingness, mixed with the subtle pleasure of being cared for, and my fascination with the feral nature hidden beneath his dignified, ascetic exterior, suddenly surged up.Why was he always the one teasing me and controlling the pace?I suddenly turned to him, lifting my hand without warning to firmly grasp the end of his Windsor-knotted tie.The grip wasn't tight, but it held an unyielding p

Ethan Knight only had time to glance over Clara Hayes' shoulder, catching sight of Alexander Knight kneeling half in front of the sofa, his tall back completely shielding me from view."How is she?!"Ethan tried to push his way inside, his voice tight with tension.Clara reacted instantly, blocking him with her arm like a nimble human barrier."Brother's taking care of her wound right now! Don't get in the way!"No exes allowed.We’d already pulled apart on the sofa.Ethan was blocked outside the door, able to catch only a glimpse of my pale profile through the gap."Did she hurt her bones? Let me in!"Ethan shoved Clara aside and burst into the lounge.His eyes were sunken and bloodshot, his jaw stubbled and gaunt. He looked utterly drained of vitality.When his gaze locked on me, though, his eyes blazed with unbridled panic and anxiety.His heart clenched, searing pain and anger surging through him.He instinct
