The man reached out and “pulled her into his arms.”
She had just finished showering, with the lingering scent of shower gel on her body, a fragrance of lotus. Dorothy hardly had time to react before she was pulled into the man’s arms, her hands resting on his chest, the silky thin coat suddenly loosened, slipping off her half–exposed fragrant shoulder.
Since Aliyah’s birthday, the night Marissa drugged him, he had never tasted her again.
His alluring wife, soft as boneless, was now in his arms, and Dwayne’s throat rolled, his lower abdomen tight.
She noticed his changes.
She froze, a look of disgust flashing across her face, “You… can do this?”
“Is it my fault?”
Dwayne grasped her chin, leaned in, his voice hoarse, “How long has Mrs. Lambert not fulfilled her marital duties?”
Spousal duties…
Yes, in the past, wasn’t he just fulfilling his obligations to her?
Dorothy laughed, “Did Sonia not feed you enough?”
Dwayne stared at her, his face showing a mix of emotions.
She wanted to break free from his embrace, but the man held her even tighter, his breath lingering by her ear, “Don’t move.”
Sensing his strong reaction, Dorothy immediately froze stiffening her body and holding her breath. “Dwayne, what are you
here for?”
What happened with Rogelio, it wasn’t me, Dwayne leaned in closer to her, “Tyrell was the one behind it, he knew the truth early on but didn’t tell you.”
Dorothy was stunned.
She actually later guessed that it wasn’t Dwayne who did it, but even if it wasn’t Dwayne, she knew it was Sonia.
And the one who indulged Sonia was Dwayne.
Thinking of this, Dorothy’s eyes grew cold. “So, you mean to say that Rogelio’s situation has nothing to do with you? But if you hadn’t indulged Sonia, Rogelio wouldn’t have gotten into trouble.”
Dwayne suppressed the emotions in his heart and grabbed her shoulders, “Was it also my indulgence that led to Rogelio kidnapping Sonia?”
She was at a loss for words.

Chapter 287
Rogelio kidnapped Sonia, all for her.
She couldn’t explain this.
“Even so, Rogelio accepted the verdict, so why should he still be tortured?” Dorothy pushed him away forcefully.
Dwayne’s body suddenly stiffened, his brows furrowed, and he remained silent.
Dorothy calmed down and composed herself, “Dwayne, the Acosta family really doesn’t owe you anything anymore. Please be gracious and sign the divorce agreement.”
