The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1280:

Merrick tried the handle, but it wouldn’t open.

“Laney?”

Cliff pressed Laney against the mirror, his voice low.

“You’re not even dressed, and you’re inviting him in?”

The hairdryer hummed loudly, yet Cliff’s voice cut through it with sharp intensity.

Unable to withstand his piercing gaze, Laney snapped, “I can do whatever I want, Cliff. Let me go.”

His eyes narrowed, his tone shifting.

“He hasn’t touched you, has he, Laney?”

She remained silent.

From the other side of the door, Merrick’s voice came again.

“Why aren’t you responding, Laney? My mom’s waiting.”

Cliff suddenly lifted her onto the counter, his hands forcing her legs apart.

Shocked, Laney glared at him angrily.

“What are you doing?”

His voice took on a threatening edge.

“Has he touched you or not?”

Furious, Laney taunted him with the words he dreaded.

“Yes! He’s touched me, kissed me, and we’ve even slept together. So what?”

Cliff’s hand froze on her inner thigh, his expression darkening in an instant.

“Touched?”

A sharp pain stabbed at his ribs, spreading to his chest, roughening his voice.

“Where did he touch you?”

His long fingers rose, tracing the curve of her swan-like neck.

“Did he touch you like this?”

The roughness of his fingers sent a shiver through her.

Laney’s cheeks flushed as she protested.

“Cliff, you shouldn’t touch me.”

Ignoring her furious gaze, his hand moved lower, pulling her towel along with it.

She tried to hold on, but he swiftly grabbed her wrists and pinned them behind her.

From outside, Merrick called again.

“Laney.”

Irritated, Cliff snapped, “Stop knocking and go away!”

A moment of silence followed.

Cliff moved closer, pressing his lips against hers.

The kiss was rough, fueled by anger, nothing gentle about it. Overwhelmed, Laney felt tears welling in her eyes.

Sensing them, Cliff pulled back.

“It’s been so long since our last kiss that you’ve forgotten how to respond. Didn’t Merrick show you how?”

A lump formed in her throat, her fury boiling over.
