After Divorce 110

Chapter 110 Don’t You Want to Kiss Me 

Sonya was stunned. Was Curtis investigating who’d saved him from drowning back then? 

He’d always said he trusted her, yet he went behind her back to dig into the past. That meant he’d never 

believed her at all. 

If he discovered that Chloe was the one who’d saved him, Sonya would lose him! Along with that, her dreams of being the wife of a listed company’s CEO would be over, 

Curtis was her best choice among all the men around her right now. She had to make sure he never 

discovered the truth. 

With that thought, Sonya dropped to the floor on purpose and cried out, “Ouch! That hurts!” 

Curtis, who’d been on the phone, quickly ended his call and rushed back to the room to find her on the floor. He hurried over and urgently asked, “What happened?” 

“After you left, I felt a bit panicked and tried to find you, but I slipped and fell,” she said, then winced in pain. “My leg hurts, Curtis. Could you carry me back to bed?” 

Curtis picked her up and gently laid her on the bed. “I still need to fetch you a glass of water. Wait here.” 

But just as he straightened up to leave, her hands wrapped around his neck. “Don’t go.” 

Curtis‘ body went rigid as he looked down at her biting her lips anxiously. As far as he could remember, Sonya had always been sharp and confident. But right now, she seemed vulnerable and utterly different. 

“I’m just getting water, and I’ll be right back,” he softly said. 

In the next moment, Sonya kissed him. 

Curtis froze. Though they’d been staying together in her apartment ever since they’d come to Yarfdale, nothing physical had happened between them. 

She’d hinted at it several times, but he’d never made a move. Somehow, whenever things nearly crossed the line, Chloe’s face would pop into his mind. 

Why would he often think of Chloe even when they were divorced? Was it because she’d kept showing up in front of him ever since he’d come to Yarfdale? 

When Sonya and Curtis pulled away, the former’s clothes had slipped off her shoulders. Curtis quickly turned away, but she leaned in closer. 

“Curtis, Chloe’s the reason I’ve been having nightmares lately. She must resent me for your divorce, and that’s why she humiliated me in public. Please stay with me tonight.” 

She intentionally brought up Chloe, and as expected, a trace of guilt flashed across Curtis‘ face. “I’m sorry you got dragged into it because of my history with her.”

“It’s fine. I can bear any humiliation from her as long as I can be with you,” Sonya murmured, leaning in to kiss him again. “I’ve liked you from the moment I saved you back then. But I took so long to understand my feelings that we ended up wasting so many years.” 

While she was rather eager, Curtis was hesitant. He hadn’t had the chance to ask who exactly had saved him back then before he’d hurriedly ended the call when Sonya fell. 

Now, before even clarifying the truth, something was about to happen between him and Sonya… Was this the way it should be? 

Just then, Sonya continued, “If you can’t forget Chloe, it’s fine. I’m willing to wait, so just pretend I never said anything tonight. You can return to your room. Don’t worry about me.” 

“That’s not it! How could I not worry about you? Besides, I don’t have feelings for Chloe anymore since the two of us divorced!” Curtis panickedly explained. 

At that, Sonya smiled and wrapped her arms around him. 

This time, Curtis didn’t refuse. Even if he didn’t get to ask who’d saved him back then, it must have been Sonya, right? 

He’d ordered the investigation just so he wouldn’t be affected by Chloe anymore. And with that thought, 

he lost himself in her arms. 

Much later, when Curtis fell into a deep sleep after going at it, Sonya slowly got up and retrieved his phone from the pockets of his coat. 

With practiced ease, she unlocked it with his passcode. Though he’d never told her what his passcode was, he’d never been secretive about it either, so she’d memorized the combination. 

She went through the call history and found the last incoming number. After memorizing it, she slipped the phone back into the pocket as though nothing had happened. 

Then, she lay back down beside him. Gazing at his sleeping face, she murmured, “Don’t blame me, Curtis. Humans are selfish by nature, and only the selfish ones get to live better lives.” 

Yes, she just wanted a better life, and there was nothing wrong with that. 

The next morning, Chloe noticed that Brian seemed drained and asked, “Did you not sleep well last night?” 

“Not really,” he replied. He’d spent the night replaying their kiss in his mind, feeling so restless and hot that he’d gotten up multiple times to take cold showers. 

“You can get a little nap in the car later.” They were heading to Steele Group’s company in Yarfdale, which would be about a 30–minute drive. 

“Okay,” Brian obediently replied.

Watching from nearby, William had long since gone from feeling shocked to numb by now. Who would have thought the aloof and arrogant Brian would be this docile around Chloe? 

What had really shocked him was the fact that Brian and Chloe were dating. When he’d found out a few days ago, the revelation had struck him like a bolt of lightning. He would probably remember how that felt 

for the rest of his life. 

From then on, nothing that happened between the couple could surprise him anymore. 

After breakfast, Brian and Chloe got into the car. 

“Go ahead and nap for a bit,” she said. 

“Can I lean on you?” 

“Sure.” 

He slowly shifted his upper body to lean toward her, but instead of resting his head on her shoulder, he looked up and stared intently into her eyes. 

“What’s up?” she asked, puzzled. 

“Don’t… you want to kiss me?” His cool voice rang in the car. 

Chloe was dumbstruck, while William, sitting in the front seat, was completely aghast. He’d thought he’d seen it all, but apparently Brian was capable of saying such shocking words too! 

“William’s driving up front!” Chloe hissed. 

In the rearview mirror, William caught Brian’s icy death glare and hurriedly said, “I’m just driving. I don’t see or hear a thing.” 

Turning back to Chloe, Brian murmured, “So, do you want to?” 

Was he the only one who couldn’t stop thinking about last night’s kiss?
