Chapter 80: A Sober Kiss

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: A Sober Kiss

Sienna Everett nearly fell flat on her face. She spun around, fuming. "I did not sleep with you!"

The man sat up unhurriedly from the bed, his pajamas in disarray, revealing a broad, firm chest. He looked for all the world like he had been thoroughly taken advantage of.

Sienna Everett: "..."

Sienna Everett’s eyelid twitched fiercely, and she guiltily scurried into the bathroom.

She had to take several deep breaths to calm her racing heart.

Anyway, Grandfather was going back to the old family estate today, so he wouldn’t be watching to see if she and Julian Forrester were staying in separate rooms anymore.

’I’m never sharing a bed with him again.’

’Why do I always end up taking advantage of him? It’s so annoying!’

After breakfast, the Old Master chatted with Sienna Everett for a while before heading back to the family estate.

Before leaving, he worriedly instructed her to take care of her health and told Julian Forrester to look after her well.

The implication, of course, was that he hoped his grandson and granddaughter-in-law would live together from now on and stop sleeping in separate rooms.

Sienna Everett agreed obediently, but inwardly, she let his words go in one ear and out the other.

’We only slept in the same bed for one night and I already took advantage of him like that. What would happen if we did it every night? Unthinkable!’

’From now on, we’re sleeping separately.’

’It was strange, though. She was sure she’d been on the other side of the bed before falling asleep. How did she wake up in his arms?’

After taking her medicine today, Sienna Everett’s allergies had improved significantly.

With allergies, the most important thing is to avoid the allergen. That way, you recover quickly.

By the third day, the redness and swelling on Sienna Everett’s body had completely subsided, and her skin was back to its usual fair and delicate state.

The doctors at the hospital really were leading experts. They said three days, and sure enough, she recovered within three days.

Sienna Everett was looking in the mirror when her phone chimed several times. She was being spammed with messages from Keith Sterling.

[Keith Sterling: Hey, are you sick? Allergies?]

[Keith Sterling: I was out of the country for the past two days. I just got back today and heard from the Old Master that you had an allergic reaction. How are you? Feeling better?]

[Keith Sterling: Aiya, you being sick must have my bro worried sick, right?]

[Keith Sterling: My bro must be so anxious he can’t even eat!]

Sienna Everett: "..."

That Keith Sterling was such a goofball, always running his mouth.

But this time, he’d actually hit the nail on the head.

For the past two days, Julian Forrester had made sure she took her medicine on time and constantly checked on her condition. He was more worried about her health than she was.

Sienna Everett typed on her phone: [I’m all better. Fully recovered.]

Keith Sterling replied instantly: [That’s a relief!]

Keith Sterling: [Sending a big red packet to celebrate you being back on your feet! Shoo, shoo, annoying sickness!]

SWISH, SWISH, SWISH. Keith Sterling sent over a dozen red packets.

The whole screen was filled with red packets.

Sienna Everett: "..."

’He just throws money around at the drop of a hat.’

After sending the red packets, Keith Sterling started a video call.

Sienna Everett casually answered, "What’s up?"

Keith Sterling first took a look to confirm she had indeed recovered. Only then did he relax, grinning as he said:

"Sienna, I wanna take you out tomorrow~~ A friend of mine is opening a new club and invited me. I’ve got nothing better to do, so I wanna invite you and my bro to come along~~"

Sienna Everett thought for a moment. "Let me ask your bro then."

Julian Forrester was in his second-floor study, working.

Sienna Everett chatted idly with Keith Sterling as she went upstairs, knocking on the study door before entering.

Julian Forrester was sitting behind his desk, his long, slender fingers tapping lightly on the keyboard. He paused his work when he saw her approach.

Sienna Everett walked over and held the phone screen up to him. "Keith Sterling wants to take you out."

Julian Forrester glanced at Keith Sterling on the video call, then lifted his eyes to her. "Do you want to go?"

Sienna Everett looked completely uninterested. "Not really."

Since she didn’t want to go, Julian Forrester had even less desire to. He looked at Keith Sterling on the screen and said in a cool tone, "Not going."

Keith Sterling looked crushed and was about to let out a wail.

But then Sienna Everett suddenly changed her tune. She looked at Julian Forrester excitedly, a sly grin on her face. "You’re not going? Great! Then I will!"

Julian Forrester: "?"

On the other end of the line, Keith Sterling couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Julian Forrester shot him a frosty glare.

Keith Sterling immediately fell silent, raising a hand to his mouth and making a zipping motion. He only dared to laugh inwardly.

Julian Forrester hung up the video call.

He reached out, grabbed Sienna Everett’s wrist, and with a sharp tug, pulled her directly into his arms.

Sienna Everett had been standing by the desk while Julian Forrester was sitting in his office chair.

Caught completely off guard by his pull, she ended up sitting on the man’s lap.

Sienna Everett was stunned and cried out, "What are you doing?"

Julian Forrester’s dark eyes fixed on her, his expression a dangerous-looking half-smile. "Sierra, what was that all about just now?"

Sienna Everett’s cheeks puffed out, her glossy red lips pouting. "Nothing. It just means if you’re not going, I will."

After saying this, she tried to get up from his lap.

The man’s arm tightened around her waist, holding her firmly on his lap as his eyes narrowed slightly. "You really don’t want to go with me that badly?"

Sienna Everett wasn’t used to such intimacy with him. Her playful mood vanished. "I was just joking, teasing you. Now let me up."

Julian Forrester didn’t let go, saying half-jokingly, "But now I’m a little angry."

Sienna Everett: "Huh?"

The word was barely out of her mouth when a sudden pain shot through her chin.

The man had leaned down and given her chin a light bite.

Sienna Everett’s eyes flew open, her clear gaze shimmering with disbelief. "What are you doing?"

One of his arms was still wrapped around her waist. He raised his other hand, his long, pale fingers stroking her chin as a lazy smile played on his lips. "Since I can’t do anything else to you, I’ll just have to vent my anger like this."

Sienna Everett: "..."

Julian Forrester leaned in again, his nose gently brushing against hers.

It was an ambiguous, intimate gesture.

Sienna Everett’s heart skipped a beat. Her eyelashes trembled like the wings of a startled butterfly, and her fingers curled unconsciously.

She was still sitting on his lap and subconsciously tried to get up.

Julian Forrester’s arm around her waist suddenly tightened, preventing her from moving.

He lowered his head, pressing his forehead gently against hers. His long, distinct eyelashes were cast down, and his gaze was hot and sensual.

Sienna Everett’s heart leaped.

The next second, the man’s kiss fell upon her.

He kissed her on the lips without a hint of hesitation.

Sienna Everett’s heart pounded. In an instant, all the heat in her body rushed to her face.

She tried to pull away, but the man held the back of her head, deepening the kiss irresistibly.

Aside from the time she was drunk, this was the first time she had kissed him while sober.

A thrilling tingle washed over her back like a tidal wave. Sienna Everett’s mind went blank, as if all the strength had been drained from her body, leaving her limp in his arms.

Julian Forrester kept his head lowered, his lips moving against the woman’s plump, moist ones. One hand held the back of her head while the other captured her hand, his fingers sliding gently between hers to lace them together...
