Chapter 397

Charles turned around as he pulled Sophia back to the house. “Perfect, then.”

The bodyguards trailed behind them whereas the military personnel who had brought Charles back remained standing guard outside the manor.

“Weren’t you taken away by the SWAT team? Why are you brought back by the military?” Sophia looked up at him and asked.

“When there’s something to gain, anyone would want to be involved.” Charles seemed reluctant to elaborate. “Have you eaten? Do you want me to cook something for you?”

Since he did not want to talk about it, Sophia did not press on.

After all, the team of bodyguards was right behind them watching their every move and listening to their every word.

“I have already eaten. What about you, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?” Sophia asked.

“Just a little bit but you don’t have to worry. I just want to take a shower first and I’ll make something for myself.” Hand in hand, they entered the house and she led her to the sofa to rest so he could head upstairs to shower and freshen up.

However, Sophia followed him instead of sitting down.

“What is it?” Charles stroked her face, only to realize how cold she was. His heart winced as he cupped her face, using both his palms to warm her cheeks up.

Sophia wrapped her arms around his neck as she stood on the tip of her toes and bit his lip. “I want to join you in the shower.”

She lowered her voice and gave him an inviting look, trying her best to seduce him.

They had not gotten the chance to be intimate ever since she had gotten pregnant.

Charles stared at her red lips intently as his throat rumbled. He felt an impish jolt surging through his body, rushing toward his lower abdomen.

His eyes lit up and he felt his body flush with heat, but a quick glance at the almost unnoticeable bump on her stomach was enough to force himself to push her arm away. “No.”

He could not guarantee that he could control himself if they showered together.

Charles was about to turn and leave when Sophia pulled him from behind. Her hands went around his neck as she jumped on his back.

“You’re a mother now, you should be more careful yourself.” Worried that she would fall, his hands instinctively went to support her body.

He felt her breasts pressing against his body and his grip around her thigh hardened. It was as if there was a fire burning in his body and he was about to explode.

Sophia wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her chin on his shoulder as she whispered into his ear, “Charles, I want to shower with you.”

As she spoke, she deliberately brushed her lips on Charles’ earlobe. His ears flushed red all the way to his neck as she felt his breath hitched.

“You’re still in your first trimester, let’s not act rashly.” Charles was not wearing much. When the SWAT team came to his office the other day, everything happened so quickly that he did not even get the chance to grab his coat.

However, he was sweating so much right now that his shirt was almost drenched. Sweat beaded his forehead as well.

Sophia was amused when she saw this, but at the same time, her heart ached. She helped him wipe away the sweat as she lowered her voice to say, “It’s alright, there are other ways that I can help you out. We tried it before too, didn’t we?”

Charles remained quiet as his face was still calm and collected as usual. She lowered her gaze and sneaked a glance at his crotch before leaning in to kiss his neck.

“Stop it, don’t kiss me!” Charles’ breathing became even more labored and he quickly pushed her head away.

Why was she so clingy today?

Sophia leaned on his shoulder and giggled coquettishly. “I have kissed you almost everywhere, why are you being so shy?”

The couple was not exactly talking quietly, and the strange look on the bodyguards’ faces proved that they heard everything loud and clear.

Charles freed an arm and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt. Without saying anything else, he carried her upstairs.

The bodyguards followed suit, but before they even took a step forward, Charles turned to them and said coldly, “Stay downstairs.”

A troubled expression instantly spread across their faces and all of them turned to their leader.

“I’m the one paying for your salary, are you really going to disobey my orders?” Charles turned around and looked at them with an amused smile.

The leader gave a dry cough. “That’s not what we mean. It’s just that we noticed someone has been following Ms. White recently and we think it’s only safer if we stay as close as possible.”

Sophia tilted her head as she rested herself comfortably in Charles’ arms. She ignored them and began idly playing with his hair.

“Just stand guard downstairs. If anyone is able to come upstairs even with all of you guarding downstairs, it just means that you’re incompetent and I need to seriously reconsider whether it’s worth keeping any of you.”

With that, Charles ignored them and brought Sophia upstairs in his arms, moving slightly quicker than usual.

The bodyguards exchanged glances and turned to their leader. “What are we going to do now? What if Sophia tells Charles something...”

“Sylvia is using Charles and the White family against Sophia, I don’t think she would dare to simply spill anything. Do everything Charles asks you to do so he wouldn’t suspect anything, otherwise, we would be in trouble. Understand?”

“Yeah.”

-

Charles carried Sophia up the stairs, and as soon as they entered the bedroom, he plopped her down and pushed her up against the door before leaning in to kiss her.

Perhaps it was the fact that the two of them had not been intimately close for a very long time, the kiss was deep and urgent as his tongue plunged into her mouth ferociously.

She could barely catch her breath as he swarmed her with kisses, and her legs buckled beneath her. If it was not for his arm around her waist that was supporting her, she would have slid to the floor by now.

“Ch... Char... Charles...”

Sophia pressed her hands on his chest and pushed him back. She wanted to tell him that she had something to tell him, but she was worried that someone was eavesdropping. “You need to shower, let’s go... Ah!”

Charles tightened his grip around her waist and carried her up once again, then brought her to the bathroom as he continued kissing her.

She had something serious to tell him, but although she was able to keep a clear head in the beginning, she was now immersed in his kisses. When she finally came around, her clothes were strewn all over the bathroom floor and his prize possession was positioned at a hazardous spot.

“Char... Charles...”

Sophia’s face was thoroughly red as she pushed him away. With one hand on the wall supporting herself, she slowly made her way to the shower and turned on the tap.

Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

Chapter 396 Charles Is Back Charles strode forward as well and hugged her from behind so she could feel his throbbing member. “Didn’t you say you want to shower with me?

Hmm?”

His voice was hoarser than usual, and right now, she found it incredibly sexy.

“Please let go of me first.” Ever since Sophia had gotten pregnant, her body had become much more sensitive. It was only natural for her body to react when the man she liked was holding her like this and their naked bodies pressed against each other.

However, Charles did not let go of her. Instead, he grabbed her hands and left a trail of kisses down her neck.

The combination of his cold lips and his heated tongue made Sophia shivered, and she arched her body involuntarily as the hollowness in her lower body intensify.

“So, do you want to?” Charles stood up and his lips found her neck once again.

If this went on, they would surely end up in the sheets with his friendly weapon inside of her, and Sophia did not know if she would be clear-headed enough to talk to him anymore.

“Wait... Wait a minute...”

With great effort, Sophia turned around and grabbed Charles’ hands to stop him from doing anything else as she panted heavily.

However, what she did not know was that the rosy glow in her cheeks, and the dazed look in her eyes only made her much more alluring. Charles felt his body harden even more and he was close to bursting into flames.

He simply broke free of her restraints and cupped her face before leaning in to kiss her.

Sophia had no means to fight back, and so she was forced to sink into his passionate need for her. In a moment of desperation, she reached for his member and grabbed it hard in her hands.
