CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 39: DISCOVERING HIS SECRET

Mia Lane took a walk with the children in the yard, and they shared with Mommy what they saw and heard at the new kindergarten today.

After returning to the children’s room, Mia Lane told them a story and finally coaxed them to sleep.

Looking at the two little ones lying quietly on the bed, she felt an indescribable sense of comfort. Ever since they acknowledged their daddy, the children’s smiles had increased.

Arriving at the master bedroom, Mia Lane took a deep breath—this was her only refuge for the night.

In this enormous mansion, there were surprisingly no guest rooms prepared.

Indeed, who would have the honor of spending the night here?

Standing at the door for a moment, Mia Lane reached out and pushed open the slightly ajar door. The tall and graceful figure of the man nearby almost blinded her.

In the instant their eyes met, she clearly saw his faint smile, bright gaze, even carrying a hint of... indescribable tenderness.

It was the first time she had seen him like this, almost like an illusion.

Justin Kingston reached out his hand, and Mia Lane quickly shrank to the side, but he just closed the door.

She thought he was going to hug her.

He had showered; there was a light scent of body wash on him, wearing white silk pajamas, and Mia felt the whole room was filled with the scent of hormones...

In the Baroque-style bedroom, with the soft, snow-white large bed, just the two of them... she simply couldn’t bear to think about it further.

Until the man’s hand reached out again, she retreated a step back against the wall, with a large hand propping against the wall by her ear, Mia Lane was trapped.

Her chest tightened sharply, she gazed at him in shock.

"What are you going to do?" Her heartbeat was erratic.

Justin Kingston wrapped his other arm around her waist, meeting her eyes with an intense, unshakable focus, "Tonight, I want you."

So straightforward!

The horror in the woman’s eyes intensified!

In his eyes, she looked up at him, that gaze like a spring night’s pond, tempting him to immerse himself.

"There’s no love between us, we’re a fake couple, can’t you let me go?" She pleaded softly and gently.

He had tremendous stamina, and she hadn’t fully recovered yet.

"Don’t forget your identity, legally you are my wife." Justin Kingston withdrew the faint warmth from his lips, his tone carrying a hint of warning, "If you dare defy my will, I will purchase Sunshine Village for development, evict all the villagers, leaving them homeless."

"You..." Mia Lane glared at him.

He merely chuckled, his thin lips lowered, capturing hers in a kiss, and he casually turned off the lights.

She wanted to resist, yet dared not provoke him. The words from his mouth were certainly not a joke—he meant what he said. He was Justin Kingston, a legend in Riventhal that no one dared to challenge.

Thinking of the scene in the bamboo house where the woman in his arms and Jonah Woods acted in perfect harmony...

Recalling the disdainful look in Jonah Woods’ eyes when he looked at him, Justin Kingston felt displeased, biting the woman’s lip!

She yelped in pain!

"Are you crazy?" she struggled.

"Yes, I am mad."

Justin Kingston felt a desire to conquer; he had grasped the soft spot of this woman, which were the villagers!

In the future, he would surely have her under his complete control!

"Respond to me." Justin Kingston’s voice was low and dominant, unsure if Jonah Woods had ever done this with her!

Mia Lane closed her eyes, awkwardly and reluctantly responding to his kiss...

On the wide, soft bed, the pain made her grip his waist, her hand sliding backward, inadvertently touching the uneven back, which were ridges that startled her a little.

His kisses fell on her like raindrops, kissing her mind into a blank, leaving her no time to think.

Butler Shelby’s words faintly echoed in her mind—were these the burns left from when he rushed into the fire to save his mother?

Mia Lane touched them carefully, trying to judge with her experience.

Then Justin Kingston suddenly grabbed the little hand attempting to wander over his back! Deepening the kiss.
