Chapter 634
Wooing My Ex-Wife
Chapter 634 Kieran Is A Fool Amidst the steam in the room, the wrinkle on Inezâs brows gradually eased. Her lips-lusciously red from the effects of the alcohol-would purse intermittently, a sign that she was in deep sleep.
Kieran was naturally aroused by the seductive sight before him. He wouldnât be a man if he didnât have any reaction to it at all.
Suppressing the urge to pounce on her like a wild beast, he continued scrubbing her judiciously.
Half an hour later, Kieran, drenched from bathing Inez, washed himself under the shower.
Dazed by the alcohol still. Inez blinked. It was clear from the unfocused look in her eyes that she was still reeling from its effects.
Upon hearing the sound of the shower, she flopped her arm on the side of the tub and languidly rested her head on it. From there, she quietly observed the lanky and chiseled figure underneath the shower.
With water beading down his skin, she couldnât deny how tantalizing he looked.
The angle at which she was admiring him allowed her to be awed by his exquisite features and dashing appearance.
Scrutinizing every inch of his body, Inez began to feel a sense of mischief fill her drunken mind.
Holding her head up with one hand indolently, she spoke in a gentle voice. âHey, handsome, you look amazing while bathing. How much to have you for one night?â
Her voice stunned the showering Kieran. It took him a while to realize that she was talking to him.
Handsome? Sheâs already awake yet doesnât realize who I am?
âInez, tell me, do you know who I am?â
Breaking into a vampish smile, Inez rambled on. âDonât worry, Iâll hire you for the night. No funny business. Weâll just be chatting under the sheets.â
Kieran turned off the shower with a darkened expression and walked up to her. As he gradually kneeled down by the tub, he asked in a frosty voice. âDo you really not know who I am?â
As Inez reached out to stroke his face and run her fingers over his features, she appeared slightly surprised. âYou resemble Mr. Kieran a lot. Heâs already my fiancé, so I canât cheat on him by hiring gigolos anymore. However, I want someone to lend me their earâ¦â
Kieran responded with a sigh. âWhatever problems you have, you can tell me about them.â
Inezâs cheeks were blushing like red apples; her smile was so vibrant that her eyes seemed to glisten.
Nonetheless, it was clear from the cloudy look in her eyes that she was still drunk.
As if she was talking behind someoneâs back, her expression looked particularly checky yet adorable at the same time.
It was the exact opposite of the career-driven facade that she maintained in commercial circles.
âMy fiancé is rich, handsome, and highly educated. It wouldnât be too much to call him an epitome of the male specimen, butâ¦â Inez grumbled. âHeâs emotionally incompetent and isnât sensitive with his words.
Because of that, he gets on my nerves all the time.â
Kieran probed, âDo you resent him?â
Inezâs head shook decisively. âI like him and spent more than a year pursuing him.â
Her words gave Kieran a sudden sense of reassurance.
He then gave her a gentle kiss and whispered, âHe likes you too.â
Sprawled on the side of the tub, Inez couldnât stop smiling. âI told him to stop wooing me, as I want our relationship to move on to the next stage. Despite such an obvious hint, the fool not just failed to get it but also insisted on continuing the courtship for the entire year. Donât you think thereâs something wrong with his head?â
Her words stunned Kieran.
So, thatâs what she meant at the swimming pool. I have missed the opportunity to take the next step with her.
Feeling unsatisfied, Kieran continued to manipulate the drunken Inez. âHeâs an idiot indeed, so letâs not stay angry with him. Once the holiday is over, you should get both families to bring forward the wedding date. How about that?â
Inez shook her head as she puckered her lips. âIâm going to let that idiot continue wooing me⦠for two years this timeâ¦â
Toward the end, her voice trailed off as she fell back into a deep sleep.
With an affectionate look in his eyes, Kieran shook his head in helpless resignation.
He then returned to the shower and quickly washed up. After drying Inez, he carried her out of the tub and placed her on the hotel room bed.
There, both of them curled comfortably under the sheets.
Before turning off the lights, Kieran whispered in her ear, âIâm happy to pursue you throughout your entire life, but it shouldnât get in the way of our marriage registration.â
Upon learning the true intent of Inezâs words in the day, Kieran could feel the deviousness within him being ignited.
Thereâs no way I can let her disappointment be in vain.
Both of them subsequently fell asleep in each otherâs arms.
By the time Inez awoke and rolled to her side, she realized she was sleeping on the crook of someoneâs elbow.
Upon turning her head to look, she was greeted by the sight of Kieran sleeping soundly.
Underneath the white sheets was his chiseled and naked body.
Shocked by the sight, Inez shifted her attention to her own body and realized that she, too, was in a state of undress Last night⦠did we?
While she was fumbling around, Kieran woke up and blinked at her.
âYouâre awake, Inez. Do you have a hangover after drinking so much last night?â
Kieranâs voice was sultry yet husky from having just woken up. If Inez were still naive and inexperienced, her heart would have fluttered from just the sound of it He reached out his hand to stroke her head and then gave her a gentle massage to ease the discomfort from her hangover.
Touched by his actions, Inez replied, âIâm fine. Did we.. You didnât do anything last night, did you?â
While speaking, she conveyed her meaning implicitly by glancing underneath the sheets.
Despite being cognizant of what she was inquiring about, Kieran had no plans to go into the details of her drunken stupor from the night before. âNo. After bringing you back to the room, I helped you wash up before we went to bed.â
âI-Is that all? Other than bathing me, did you not do anything else?â
Kieran maintained an honest expression. âEven if I wanted to do something, I wouldâve gotten your permission first. I wouldnât try to take advantage of the fact that youâre drunk.â
Inez naturally believed his words, but it didnât stop her from feeling disappointed.
âHow can we just sleep through our first night overseas? Are you being too proper, or am I not attractive enough for you?â
Stunned by her question, Kieran stared blankly at her before realizing what she meant.
âInez, donât tell me that you were thinking ofâ¦â
Inez held up her palm and pushed his head away. âI wasnât thinking of anything. Time to get out of bed.
The earlier we wash up and have breakfast, the earlier we can go out with Gwendolyn and Cedrick.â
Just as she attempted to jump out of bed, she felt Kieran wrap his arm around her waist and pull her back into his arms.
With her back pressed against his chest, Inez could clearly hear his heartbeat.
Thump⦠thumpâ¦..
His heart is beating really fast. He must be feeling nervous.
After showering Inezâs ear with his warm breath, Kieran spoke in a raspy voice. âHow can you not be attractive enough? A single look from your seductive eyes is enough to make me lose control.â
Upon hearing his words, Inez cocked a curious brow. âOh, since when have you become such a sweet talker? I like the way you have with words now.â
Kieran pressed his cheek against hers. âSince we didnât do much on the first night of our trip, itâs not too late to make up for it this morning.â
âMr. Kieran Inez had barely responded when Kieran pinned her down beneath him.
Inez protested, âJust look at the time already. Weâll be late if we dally any longer, and those two will be worried about us.â
âIâm sure theyâll understand.â
When she saw the resolute look on Kieranâs face, Inez finally gave in shyly. âI-In that case, make it quick.â
âHuh?â
Brows raised, Kieran leaned in to kiss her lips before asserting, âIâm as strong as an ox. Thereâs no way I can make it quick.â
