"She's upstairs. She fell asleep right after I gave her a massage," the young man answered innocently.
“You gave her a what?' Did he hear that right?
Boswell turned around and strode upstairs without saying another word.
It was dark in the bedroom when he pushed the door open and walked inside.
He walked to the bedside and looked at the woman who had her eyes shut tight.
"Are you asleep?" he asked.
Chloe opened her eyes and answered, "Not yet."
Before she could get up, however, the man pressed his body against hers. Running his fingers down her smooth face, he whispered, “What have you been up to?"
The woman answered honestly, "I had a really bad headache, so I asked the butler to find someone who can give me a head rub. Turns out the man is really good at giving massages too. He knew all about unblocking the meridians.
The moment he pressed my temples, I started to feel so much better."
“How dare she admit it!"
Gritting his teeth, he gently bit her earlobe and said, "I'll have Rosa sent away tomorrow, but you'll have to say good-bye to the young man downstairs too. Do you hear me?"
With a cheeky flash in her eyes, Chloe feigned confusion and asked,
“Why? Aren't they good at what they do?"
Tightening his grip on her slender waist, Boswell said, “I brought a young woman back and you brought a young man back home. What would people think of us?"
“Well, when you put it like that... it does sound very inappropriate..." Chloe pretended to be innocent still.
"Well, it's good that you've realized it. Don't forget to send them away tomorrow!" he asserted.
“And where exactly do you want me to send them?" she asked.
“Wherever, I don't care. It's up to you." Boswell had no time for such trifle.
After getting what she wanted, Chloe put her arms around the man's neck with a satisfied grin on her face.
"Okay!"
Although her feelings for him hadn't quite grown into love yet, she was his wife now. After all, she had to preserve her position as Mrs
Hilton, didn't she?
The following day, things were back to normal in the villa. The team of help in the house were still the ones the old butler had arranged as they were doing their jobs well.
As time went by, Boswell came to realize that his wife was very smart, especially when it came to dealing with the women around him. Chloe always found a way to deal with the clingy types without making a scene.
