Chapter 1074
Estelle quickly broke free, her fingers curling against the man’s neck, forcing him to back off. Her eyes in the darkness were cold and sharp. “Jonathan, don’t push it.” The man leaned in, pinning her beneath him, his gaze locked on her. “I’ve never betrayed you. Let’s start over.”
Estelle shook her head. “No way!”
“Even when you and your comrades or friends fall out because of misunderstandings, can’t you make up?” Jonathan asked with a furrowed brow. “You had misunderstandings with Xavier, but you still consider him family. Why can’t you do the same with me?”
Estelle showed a thoughtful look, slowly shaking her head, “I don’t know. Don’t ask me. I just know I don’t love you anymore!”
“Well then, I don’t need your heart, just your body.” The man’s eyes were hot. “You’re my wife. You have the obligation to cooperate with me.”
Estelle sneered, “You know what? My first squad in the mercenary wasn’t with Xavier. The captain demanded my unconditional obedience and cooperation, wanted me to carry messages for him behind the organization’s back. I ended up killing him and took over his place.”
Jonathan had obviously heard a lot about Stella’s business.
He smiled faintly, his voice hoarse, “I don’t believe you’d have the heart to kill me!”
Estelle clenched her fist tightly, “But don’t push me!”
“Since we’re talking about the past, dear Stella, isn’t your principle to seek revenge for wrongs done and repay kindness?” Jonathan’s voice was hoarse but sounded even sexier.
Estelle raised an eyebrow, “What are you getting at?”
“Weren’t you saved by me when you were ambushed that day? Didn’t I help you with Gwen? Jonathan’s eyes seemed mesmerizing. “According to your principles, how should you repay me for such great favor? You needed me that day, and I didn’t hesitate. I gave it my all. Now it’s time for you to repay me.”
Estelle glared at Jonathan, “You dare to say you helped me? Why did you send Craig to the hospital but brought me here?”
Jonathan frowned, sounding innocent but full of love, “How could I bear to see you suffer the pain of repeated stomach pumping at the hospital?
Estelle felt a strange sensation in her heart. She didn’t know how to refute him. She was never good with words, and she had never won an argument with him.
Jonathan gazed deeply at her, moved her hand away, and gently kissed her at the corner of her lips, “Help me out, and we’ll call it even. Deal?”
His gentle kiss and deep, charming voice left her nowhere to hide..
She gritted her teeth, “Jonathan!”
“Dear Stella, this is what you owe me. You have no choice!”
Estelle’s long eyelashes trembled, she closed her eyes, “One last time.”
“Mmm,”
Jonathan mumbled in response and then kissed her deeply, his lips pressing against hers. He indulged in the sweetness of her, and after kissing for a while, he scooped her up and quickly headed to the master bedroom,his actions gradually becoming more intense.
In the middle of the night, after Jonathan bathed her, Estelle lay in bed.
She was too tired to open her eyes, and even lacked the strength to break free from Jonathan’s arms.
Jonathan had her face him, holding her tight against his chest, he murmured, “Even though you came to me first, I’ve never forgotten you. I’ve been looking for your whereabouts ever since you were taken away by Gab.
“I couldn’t believe it when I heard that you and your comrades were betrayed and wiped out.
“For days, I dreamed of you, of us in that dark underground room, depending on each other; of me rescuing you from that old factory. The name Stella has always been a regret in my heart.
“When I found out that you were Stella, I was shocked, terrified, and excited. No words can describe my feelings, and no one can understand.
“Don’t expect me to let you go again!”
