He kissed her forehead and tenderly stroked her hair.

“Honey, I want a hug.”

“Alright, come here,” he said softly.

He hadn’t been spending much time with her lately; she must’ve been upset about it.

Meanwhile, in the other room, when Derrick came out of the bathroom, Marie was already fast asleep. He could only sigh helplessly. After the chaos she’d caused earlier, of course she was exhausted.

He carefully lay down beside her, not daring to make a sound.

But just as he settled in, Marie rolled over–and wrapped herself around him.

Derrick’s mind went completely blank; something inside him snapped with a loudtwang.

He dragged a hand down his face. Unbelievable–of all people, he was actually falling for this firecracker.

Yet here he was–wanting her, badly.

He turned over, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her.

When he wanted something, he never hesitated.

Half–asleep, Marie felt someone kissing her and groggily opened her eyes. When she saw it was Derrick, irritation flared instantly. “Are you out of your mind?”

The second she said that, Derrick pinned her beneath him.Nowthatthetruthisoutintheopen,whybotherpretendinganymore?

He had been wanting her for a while now… but this woman refused to believe that it had been him that night. So he’d had to keep his hands to himself–stealing a kiss was as far as he couldgo.

Not anymore.

“What are you doing?” Marie asked sharply.

The sudden move startled her awake; she’d been dead tired a moment ago, but now adrenaline surged through her.

“I don’t want to hold back anymore, alright?” Derrick muttered.

“What?”

Marie thought. Wait–was he trying to-

“Hold on, no way!”

“Why not?” Derrick shot back. “We’re married; that night was allowed here?”

Isshe still thinking about Dany

No way. Dan had nearly been beaten to death by her there was no Dan left to think about

“I’m barely out of the first trimester,” she blurted. “It’s not safe yet.

Derrick froze

every trace of heat gone in an instant. “Damn it.”

She was right. It really wasn’t a good idea.

Frustration burned through him; finally, he bit her hard on the lip before sulking off her.

Marie felt a sharp sting on her mouth and shot upright, furious.

“What the heck is wrong with you? How am I supposed to show my face tomorrow?”

“What person can’t you face?” Derrick asked flatly.

Marie hesitated.

Well… there really wasn’t anyone she couldn’t face. She was married now.Thiswastotallynormal,wasn’t it?

Derrick wanted her but couldn’t have her; meanwhile, Marie fell right back asleep. He, on the other hand, was too wound up to sleep at all.

Then his phone rang–Sebastian.

The man on the other end sounded just as fired up.

“You’re unbelievable, man. You really found me one hell of a sister–in–law!”

“How far have you gotten?” Derrick asked.

“Six miles!”

“That’s it?”

“You think you can do better? Come run Six miles up a damn mountain and see how you like it!”

Sebastian was fuming. Not even a proper road–just a rocky trail! If it had been flat ground, he’d have been done by now. But this was torture. His legs were about to give out.

“Come carry me back,” he groaned.

Too cruel. Hours of hiking, and he hadn’t even made it halfway.

Derrick hung up without a word.

Chapter 897 Keep Your Hands To Yourself

Sebastian stared at his phone as the line went dead, competely

“Unbelievable. Chooses women over his brothers, huh? Pathey.

He was livid.

That night, hardly anyone in the Tom family could sleep..

Just as Mona was about to head to bed, her phone rang–it was Reese.

Seeing the number, Mona immediately slipped into the study and locked the door before answering.

“Reese.”

“Mom, you need to transfer me a million. Dr. Park said I can start my jaw surgery tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?”

“Yeah, I told you before–once my eyes healed, I could move on to my jaw. You know my jawline’s wider than Stella’s, so I’ve got to shave the bone a bit and do some minor reshaping. Dr. Park said it’s a complicated procedure, so it costs more.”

Reese’s face–and her body–had been under the knife for years now.

Between the cosmetic surgeries and body work, Mona had spent well over ten million on her.

But to be fair, it was paying off; she was looking more and more like Stella.

Stella–tall, with such a tiny face. Reese had gone through hell these past two years trying to make hers smaller.
