Wife by Day, Boss by Night

If he didn't want to think about the future, what was the harm in her indulging just once?

Brian's eyes were bloodshot with intensity as he ripped off his shirt and tossed it aside. His kisses, tender yet relentless, showered upon her.

He enveloped her in his arms, letting the warm water cascade over her skin, washing her inch by inch.

Brian grabbed a towel from the rack, wrapping her up with careful hands before stepping out of the bathtub. Unable to control themselves, they collapsed onto the nearby couch.

Natalie felt his grip was so forceful, his kisses so deep that she struggled to breathe, and she couldn't help but whisper his name, “Brian..."

He teased her, his breath a whisper in her ear. "Call me Bri."

With her eyes half-closed, Natalie bit her lower lip hard. After a moment, blushing, she called out softly, "Bri..."

Outside, Madelyn was about to knock on the door.

She knew Brian was furious this time. He never laid a hand on women and hadn't struck Natalie even when Natalie had drugged him in the past, conspiring with Audrey to bring the Howard family to ruin. But he had hit her.

Madelyn intended to apologize first. If she humbled herself, Brian would forgive her for Robert's sake.

Natalie's face flushed with a deep blush.

Benjamin had said he would be there soon, but Brian didn't care about that. He led Natalie back to the bedroom.

frowned. "Brian..."

Before she could finish her words, Brian's kiss silenced her.

Natalie let out a soft gasp.

Madelyn stood pale-faced at the door. It was clear Brian and Natalie were inside, and Brian would never believe her again.

"Madelyn, go change. Have something to eat..." someone at her side said softly, seeing the tears brimming in her eyes.

Madelyn remained motionless at the door for a long time. She felt that Brian and Natalie were

doing it deliberately to humiliate her.

The people around her were merely spectators, offering their pity with schadenfreude.

Madelyn didn't need such pity. She'd

chased after Brian for over two

decades, and in his eyes, she was just a joke, wasn't she?

He knew how much she liked him. Why did he still do this to her?

The first year Madelyn attended their gathering was because Robert, Who usually arranged it. was gone, and she went in his place.

The following year, Brian told her he couldn't make it and asked her to go for him, But at the last moment that day, Brian showed up, not leaving her alone.

Last year, they went together.
