Chapter 20: Drink Less If Possible
Clint followed her and sat on the couch.
Selene went into her bedroom to find it.
She had lots of clothes in her wardrobe. It took her a long time to find the suit in one corner.
Her mind went blank while looking at the suits. It was like she was operating on autopilot.
At that time of the wedding, Selene and Clint knew very little about each other. Despite this, Selene still had high expectations about the marriage, for some reason. But, in the end, it was apparent that he was not the one who would accompany her for the rest of her life.
After letting out a long sigh, she took the suit to her living room.
Clint was now sleeping on the couch. He was breathing evenly and heavily.
“Hey. I’ve found the suit,” Selene shouted with a frown.
There was no response. Clint continued sleeping.
Selene walked over to him, bent down over him, then shook him with her hands. “Clint, wake up!”
Clint mumbled vaguely and turned over a little without waking up.
He stunk of alcohol. He must’ve passed out due to being so drunk.
Selene looked at his face. Though they had slept in the same bed many times before, she had rarely ever seen him sleeping, as he always got up earlier than her.
With closed eyes, Clint looked very gentle and innocent, which was very unlike his normal appearance. He seemed like a different person to her.
He had dark circles under his eyes, probably from lack of sleep.
Then, after thinking for a while, she put the suit on the table and walked back to the bedroom to fetch a blanket to cover him.
He was drunk and unconscious, and it was very late. So the best thing for him would be to just sleep until the morning.
Selene felt sorry for him, so she just decided to let him sleep on her couch.
Selene woke up very early the next morning, as she was aware that there was a man sleeping in the living room.
She walked to the living room and found that Clint was still asleep.
She patted him on his back and shouted. “Clint Denovan, wake up, wake up!”
Finally, Clint came back to consciousness and woke up.
He opened his sleepy eyes and saw Selene in front of him. Seemingly shocked for a moment, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her hard.
All of a sudden, Selene was under him.
Selene looked up at him with utter shock. Before she could even react, Clint bent down to kiss her. Selene felt very hot around her lips.
He was great at kissing. Every spot he kissed with his lips and tongue left shockwaves of ecstasy rippling across Selene’s body.
The two locked onto each other on the small couch.
Clint was strong, and it felt very exciting. Selene could feel his erection and reminded herself of the nights of passionate sex they had previously enjoyed.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
She was an adult, and she had sexual urges.
But reason conquered her desire.
She did not struggle to push him away but spoke coldly. “There is no condom here.”
Clint froze for a moment and raised his head, looking at the woman from hair to toe.
They kept very close to each other.
Selene’s cold face became flushed with pink. She looked more attractive and softer than before. Clint squinted at her as if he hadn’t heard her speak.
He kissed her again.
As he kissed her, his hands by her head moved a little and touched a cold and hard object. He picked it up and glanced at it.
It was a man’s watch.
Clint suddenly froze. He paused for a few seconds, got back to his feet, and rubbed his eyes. “Sorry, I was too drunk last night, and I feel dizzy. Give me a minute.”
For some reason, Selene felt a little disappointed. She fixed her hair and slowly stood up. “It’s a bad habit to sleep with others when you’re drunk. You should quit drinking.” Selene smiled with contempt.
Selene did not know why she had said it so bitterly. After all, Clint hadn’t done anything to her.
Clint ignored her mocking tone. “Yes, you should also remember not to sleep with strange men when you’re angry with someone.” He said calmly. “Why did you refuse the money?”
Selene went blank for a second, then laughed. “We’re not in a relationship anymore, so I have no right to your things.”
“More money never hurts. Also, when others find out that you’re my ex-wife and you got nothing from the divorce, they will think I’m a miser. It’s bad for my reputation.”
Selene had previously thought that he offered her money because he really cared about her. But now she couldn’t help laughing. “Trust me, no one will find out about our marriage. We live completely different lives, and I doubt we will meet ever again.”
She then picked up his suit. “Last night, by the time I found your suit, you had fallen asleep on the couch. I didn’t want to wake you up. Here it is.” She said, handing it over to him.
Clint took it, “I’ll go now. Take care!”
Out of politeness, Selene went to see him off. When he turned to look at her, she suddenly felt the urge to joke with him. “Will you come to my store to buy more suits?”
Without showing any emotion, Clint nodded. “Yes, I will. They’re great.” He said sincerely.
Selene felt surprised. “Take care.” Then, she added, “Drink less if possible. It’s bad for your health.”
“Yes.” Clint nodded.
It turned out Clint saying that he would continue purchasing suits from Selene’s store was out of politeness; if anything, as of next month, he didn’t even bother visiting her store once.
However, Selene hadn’t expected Clint to go through with what he had said anyway. In addition, Clint’s not going to her store was actually very good for her. Crazy and bad things tended to happen when they were together, so because they had nothing to do with each other anymore, she would finally get the opportunity to forget about Clint and her time with him.
