The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1170:

Laney bit her lip and stared at him with a stubborn look.

Cliff, his determination fading, leaned in and kissed the tears from her face.

Laney trembled slightly. She understood he intended to comfort her, yet her desire for more remained. Suddenly, she lifted her head, inviting him to kiss her more deeply.

Cliff stared at her lips, and then, with a brief hesitation, he gently held the back of her head and kissed her.

Some paths were better left unexplored. Once started, they would spiral beyond control. Even someone as self-disciplined as Cliff could easily become a slave to desire.

Later, Laney found herself crying once more. The reason was still Cliff, but in a different context.

Cliff’s car had been parked at the gate for a while before it eventually started up and rolled into the garage.

Cliff exited the car, circled to the passenger side, and opened the door. He looked at the frail Laney and asked, “Can you walk by yourself?”

Laney’s legs were still shaking. It appeared she couldn’t. However, the lights inside the house were on, signaling that Gerry was still awake. She couldn’t let Cliff carry her in. She bowed her head and whispered, “I think I can manage.”

Cliff was not convinced and remained skeptical. He allowed her a few more moments to gather herself.

As the minutes passed, Cliff resisted the urge to check his watch, unsure of how much time had gone by since their earlier intimacy inside the car.

The wait grew too much to endure, so Cliff knelt down and began massaging her legs. He hoped it would help, but Laney stubbornly rejected his touch, her eyes filling with tears again. “Don’t touch me. If you do, I won’t be able to stand on my own.”

Cliff gazed at her delicate legs, the images of their earlier intimacy resurfacing, and swallowed with difficulty. The word “irresistible” popped through his mind. He scolded himself for having such thoughts.

When they eventually composed themselves and walked into the house, Gerry was nearly asleep from waiting. He was confident Laney was safe with Cliff, yet he was curious to learn what had happened between them.

However, seeing Laney’s eyes swollen from tears, Gerry couldn’t help but scold, “Cliff, it’s one thing to tease Laney, but did you really need to take it so far?”

Gerry approached Laney. “Did he scold you again?” Laney blushed and whispered, “No…”

Gerry was taken aback. “Then why are you crying like this?”

Cliff didn’t feel like explaining. He said to Laney, “It’s late. Go shower and head to bed.”

Laney nodded and headed upstairs.
