The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1160:

Cliff fell silent. He’d spent the night restless, smoking, until at four in the morning, he ventured out to buy fresh ingredients for her soup. Three hours of preparation had gone into it. She’d tasted his cooking before. Why couldn’t she remember the flavor of his soup? Such a poor memory.

Cliff studied her foot with careful attention. The bruise had faded to a yellowish ring, not entirely gone but nothing serious.

Laney’s cheeks burned with embarrassment as she tried to hide her foot from his inspection. “It’s not pretty,” she muttered.

Cliff’s eyes swept over her rounded toes. “Indeed, it’s ugly.”

A cold snort escaped Laney’s lips.

The room fell into a comfortable silence as Laney savored the soup, while Cliff reclined in the makeup chair across from her, his attention seemingly absorbed by his phone screen.

Despite her usual concerns about maintaining her figure, Laney couldn’t resist fishing out every tender morsel of meat from her single bowl of soup.

“Any lingering headache?” Cliff’s voice broke the silence.

“No, it’s gone now,” Laney replied with a slight shake of her head.

Her heart skipped a beat as fragments of last night’s memories resurfaced. “Kailyn mentioned you were there drinking too,” she ventured, her voice barely above a whisper.

A hint of mockery played at the corners of Cliff’s mouth as he secured the thermos. “You put on quite a show.” His words were laced with sarcasm.

“What do you mean…” Laney’s voice caught in her throat, her pulse quickening. Could he have really seen her with another man? No, anything but that.

“Have you forgotten what you did last night?” Cliff’s calm voice cut through her spiraling thoughts.

Laney’s heart plummeted, her voice barely a whisper. “You saw everything.”

“Yeah, your kissing skills were quite lacking.”

Mortification washed over Laney, certain his opinion of her had sunk even lower. “It was the alcohol,” she said weakly.

Cliff, who had always considered himself a gentleman, found a darker side to his nature as he couldn’t resist teasing her. “What happened afterward? Did things go too far?” His tone carried an edge of steel.

Laney’s eyes widened, thinking of her faintly aching breast.noveldrama

“I see you did cross lines. Where else did he touch you?” Cliff pressed. “If you witnessed it all, why didn’t you stop him?”

Laney burst out, feeling wronged. “Weren’t you worried he might hurt me?”

“You initiated the kiss,” Cliff stated flatly.

“I kissed someone else, and you’re not even a bit angry?”

Cliff’s gaze paused. Understanding what she yearned to hear, he replied, “You’re an adult. You’re free to be intimate with whoever you choose.”
