Chapter 203

Stanley paused in histracks, slowly turning to face jessica

She, too, had inhaled the aphrodisiac incense, and a rush of warmth washed over her. Her delicate face flushed a deep red, and her lips, already tinted from the incense, were bitten lightly as she gazed at him with a certain sensual energy in her eyes.

Lilian’s voice cut through the silence. “Mr. Hawk, Jessica needs you right now. You’re not going to leave her, are you?”

Stanley remained silent, his gaze fixed on Jessica, his face unreadable.

Without another word, Jessica threw back the covers, stepped out of bed, and rushed straight into his arms.

Harry and Lilian exchanged a satisfied glance before closing the door quietly behind them.

Jessica’s strap had slipped from her shoulder, exposing her delicate skin. She looked up at him with wide, admiring eyes. “Stanley, I’ve always known that you love me the most.”

With that, Jessica wrapped her arms around his neck, lifting herself onto her toes to press a kiss to his lips.

But Stanley quickly turned his head, avoiding the kiss.

Jessica froze for a moment, then leaned in again–but once more, Stanley pulled back.

Stanley pushed her gently away, his voice cold yet firm. “Jessica, I hope this is the last time. Don’t ever try this again. If you do, you’ll have to face the consequences.”

The words “face the consequences” fell from his lips with a coldness that sent a chill through Jessica. Her rosy complexion paled instantly.

This was his warning to the entire Crone family.

Without another word, Stanley turned and began to walk away.

Was he leaving? Was he walking out on her right now? What should she do?

A wave of panic washed over Jessica. Without thinking, she threw her arms around him from behind. “Stanley, please don’t leave me! I need you!”

“Jessica, let go,” Stanley said, his voice strained?

“Big Brother!” she called out suddenly. Her voice, softer than before, made Stanley’s steps falter.

The sound of “Big Brother” was a trigger, one that had always had the power to soften Stanley’s resolve. Jessica’s lips curled into a sly smile. She knew exactly how to use that to her advantage.

She quickly moved around to face Stanley, then, with a swift push, sent him tumbling back onto the bed.

Boldly, she straddled him, parting her legs to sit firmly on his strong, toned waist. “Big Brother, don’t you want me anymore?”

Stanley’s muscles tensed, his body betraying him, unable to refuse her.

With a heated glance, Jessica leaned down, pressing her lips to his.

Wendy had returned to the hospital and was sitting in Nathan’s VIP room, keeping him company.

Nathan had a business matter to discuss with Stanley, so he pulled out his phone. “I’m going to call Stanley.”

He dialed the number, but there was no answer.

He tried again, and then a third time–still nothing.
