CEO, Your Wife Has Left-Chapter 103: I Only Have You

Summer Lancaster decided to ignore him. Hmph!

Seeing that she was genuinely angry, Kenneth Yates quickly slid under the covers. But Summer Lancaster clutched the blanket tightly, refusing to give him a chance to get close. Hmph!

When that didn’t work, Kenneth Yates simply used brute force and yanked the covers away. Suddenly exposed, Summer Lancaster glared at him and tried to snatch them back.

"Summer Lancaster, you’re the only one I have!" Kenneth Yates held the covers up high where Summer Lancaster couldn’t possibly reach them.

"You’re lying! What you just meant was that you’re amazing in bed, and more than one person has experienced it!" Unable to get the covers back, Summer Lancaster sat up on the bed, her expression sour as she continued her protest.

"And what if I am? I don’t care about those other people. I only care about you!"

It was meant to be a sweet declaration, so why did it make Summer Lancaster’s heart ache? ’What does he mean, "those other people"?’ She was now desperate to know who they were so she could hunt them down and make them pay.

Summer Lancaster was silent for a long time. Unable to overcome her stubbornness, Kenneth Yates was the first to give in. He hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Honey, I was just kidding. All those people from my past were just for show. Nothing really happened!"

"Do you think I’m a three-year-old? I’d be an idiot to believe you!"

"Please don’t! I don’t want you to be an idiot!"

"Did I say I believed you? Are you me now? Are you going to believe yourself on my behalf?" Summer Lancaster scoffed. ’He’s being way too overbearing.’

Kenneth Yates burst out laughing at her words. ’Believe myself on her behalf? The things she comes up with... Still, that stubborn look of hers really makes me want to just pin her down and have my way with her.’

"Honey, I swear I’m not lying to you. I used to be stuck in the past, always overcomplicating things. That’s why we wasted so much time we could have spent in each other’s arms. From now on, I will walk with you, be a part of your world, and share your time."

Seeing his earnest expression, Summer Lancaster’s anger began to fade. It looked like he really wasn’t lying to her. ’But the memories of the past are still so fresh in my mind. How can I just suddenly believe him based on a few words?’

"Those old news stories? I had my people stage them. Or sometimes I knew I was being photographed and I just didn’t bother to hide. As for those so-called ’marks’ you saw... I told the women to give themselves those bruises. Haha!"

Summer Lancaster shot Kenneth Yates a look of disgust. "Kenneth Yates, has anyone ever told you that you’re a real sicko?" She dragged out the word "real" for emphasis.

"No. You’re the first, and you’ll be the last." ’A sicko?’ he thought. ’No one else would ever have the guts to say that to my face.’

"Fine. In that case, Mr. Sicko, isn’t it time for bed?" Summer Lancaster lay down. All their bickering had gone on late into the night, and she was starting to get sleepy.

Kenneth Yates glanced at the clock, then turned off the light. He lay down beside her, wrapped his arms around her, and drifted off to sleep...

Summer Lancaster felt incredibly drowsy, but for some reason, she just couldn’t fall asleep. The man she loved most was right here beside her, but she was terrified that he would vanish in the next instant, that this beautiful dream would end and their life together would evaporate like a soap bubble. Summer looked up at his face. His eyelashes were long, his skin was nearly as fair as her own, and his thin, sexy lips radiated a potent masculinity. ’They say that people with thin lips are fickle,’ she thought. ’I wonder if he’ll turn out to be like that...’

"Summer Lancaster, if you can’t sleep, why don’t we get some exercise?" he said suddenly, his voice startling her so much that she shuddered in his arms.

"Nope, I’m already asleep!" Summer Lancaster quickly rolled over, turning her back to him as she feigned sleep.
