Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Chapter 162

Jaxon walked into the study and closed the door.

He took out his phone and dialed a number he'd saved for long yet never actually called before.

Brantley's voice cfrom the other end. "Hello, who am | speaking to?"

Upon hearing that, Jaxon concluded that Brantley didn't even save his phone number. Jaxon considered hanging

up the phone but then quit the thought. "This is Jaxon speaking." Brantley was briefly stunned before he spoke,

"What's up?"

"Is it convenient for you to talk on the phone now? | mean, is there anyone next to you?" Jaxon loosened his tie.

"What do you want to say?" Brantley was driving halone after seeing off Giovanni and his daughter.

"Did you go to Lugrea Restaurant on East Mountain Road for dinner today? Mikayla saw you having dinner with

Giovanni and his daughter," Jaxon muttered.

Brantley remained silent, so Jaxon continued, "As Juliet's best friend, Mikayla won't keep it from Juliet. Be

careful!"

"Why are you tellingthis?" Brantley was all too aware that their brotherly rivalry continued behind closed

doors although they avoided open conflict. Brantley thought, 'He worries that I'm going to take the family assets

away. How can Jaxon possibly be so kind to me?' "Brantley, we are brothers! Compared with those outsiders,

we're blood-related, right?" Jaxon changed to a comfortable position, sitting on the couch. "I tell you this to do

you a favor. | hope you can helpwhen I'm in trouble in the future."

Brantley sneered, "Those who are not my brother would also tellwhen they can doa favor."

"Brantley, you must be kidding. Remember to save my number. We are family. | don't want to hear you ask who

is speaking next twhen I call you."

Jaxon had a hunch that one day he might ask Brantley for help.

After ending the call, Jaxon went back to his bedroom, took a shower, and went to bed early.

The dinner with Mikayla was very unpleasant. Since Mikayla didn't want him to invite her to dinner alone again,

his next step was to get Mikayla to ask him out voluntarily.

When Winona returned to the bedroom, she saw Jaxon asleep on the bed.

"He must be tired after a hard day's work," she thought.

Winona was ready to take a shower and then go to sleep. The doctor told her that going to bed early would be

good for the fetus.

Accidentally, she dropped Jaxon's suit hanging on the chair onto the floor.

Winona squatted down, picked up the suit, and dusted it. She caught a glimpse of an invoice in the suit pocket.

Somehow, she removed the invoice and unfolded it.

Winona then looked at the man sleeping on the bed.

She realized those listed on the invoice from Lugrea Restaurant were that woman's favorite dishes.

She knew everything about her rival's hobbies because she loved Jaxon so much.

Winona grabbed Jaxon's suit tightly so as not to drop it accidentally. After calming herself down, she folded the

invoice and carefully put it back. She took a shower and went to bed very gently for fear of waking Jaxon up.

After Mikayla drank two cups of hot milk with brown sugar, her stomach felt warm. She didn't know what Dexter

had added to it as it felt so nice and different from what she had drunk before.

She went upstairs with Carlos.

Standing at the door, Mikayla said to Carlos, "How about we sleep separately for a few days until my period is

gone?"

She was afraid that both of them would have a hard tif they slept in the sbed and got turned on.

Carlos opened the door, and Mikayla saw Carlos' belongings inside.

'When did he bring his belongings here?’ she thought.

"We'll sleep together," Carlos insisted.

They had slept in the sbed, and he could not bear to go to sleep without her by his side.

If he went to crash in the next room alone, he didn't think he could falt asleep tonight. Even though he couldn't

have sex with her, sleeping with her in his arms could at least satisfy his craving.

Just thinking about it made Carlos feel happy.

Mikayla could tell by the change in Carlos's smile that he was probably contemplating something erotic.

Carlos's lips curled into a wicked and charming smile. "Mika, do you want to take a shower together?"

To his question, Mikayla slammed the bathroom door shut.

Mikayla stood in front of the mirror, her ears turning red.

She thought, "How che doesn't feel embarrassed to talk about sex? Or am | a prude? Are we going to have

sex tonight? Can't we wait until my period ends?"

She was immersed in her thoughts. After her shower, she found she had forgotten to bring her pajamas inside.

And the clothes she had taken off had been thrown into the laundry basket.

She didn't intend to put them on again as they had been stained with water.

Carlos used the bath towel in the bathroom yesterday, and now there was even no towel here. Besides, she was

on her period now.

She wondered, 'Should | just go out naked or let Carlos getmy pajamas?’

Either way was embarrassing although they had seen each other's body that night.

"Carlos, are you out there?" Mikayla leaned over and asked tentatively at the door.

There was no response.

"Carlos?" Mikayla called several times before she opened the bathroom door slightly. She craned her neck to

make sure Carlos wasn't there. Then Mikayla walked out of the bathroom.

Just as she was rolling the cloakroom door to get her pajamas, Carlos walked over with the clothes he had just

picked. He looked over as he heard the sound. "He looked at her with

an intense look and checked her out from head to toe her flawless skin, small waist, and long legs."

"Carlos, turn around!" Mikayla stood

in place, covering her chest with both hands. Seeing the pajamas not far from her, she quickly ran over and

picked up her panties from the box next to the pajamas.

Carlos suddenly grabbed the other end of the panties and it twisted.

Mikayla forcibly pulled it out of his hand, ran into the bathroom, and slammed the door shut.

She wasn't crazy enough to talk with him in nudity. Besides, she was on her period.

She felt that her life had gone wrong since getting married.

With a sigh, Mikayla sat on the toilet and cleaned the blood. After she put on her pajamas and a sanitary napkin,

Mikayla opened the door and bumped into Carlos' chest

"Mika, are you going to throw yourself at me?" Carlos asked.
