Chapter 8-9 Hook Up While Still Married?
1152 Words
"Don't you remember, Sel has always been popular with men," Marina noticed the photo on his phone and deliberately provoked, "She may appear obedient and well-behaved, but ever since she dropped out of school, who knows how many men she has seduced and slept with."
Algernon's gaze dimmed, and the fire burning inside him intensified. Somehow, an image flashed in his mind of her blushing face from last night when she was beneath him, stirring something within him.
Marina sensed his distraction and tightened her fingers. "Algernon?"
He snapped back to reality and quickly found an excuse. "I won't be joining you for dinner tonight. There's some business at the company that needs my attention."
With that, he put on his coat and left, without giving her a chance to react.
Watching his retreating figure, Marina clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palm, and her lips turning pale from biting them.
She had thought Algernon never cared about that wretched woman, but just now, he clearly showed an unusual interest in that photo. If he didn't like it, why would he mind her involvement with someone else?
Seles rested her head on d**k's thigh, curled up on the sofa like a cat, sound asleep. The delicate makeup on her face had long been smudged by drinks. The others were in no better condition, sprawled haphazardly on the floor and the sofa.
Alex and Linda were locked in a passionate kiss, with Linda's dress pulled down below her ample buttocks, revealing her black lace-edged panties. Nalos and Teck sat across from each other on the sofa, quietly gesturing and arguing about Linda's hip size. Justin tossed them a box of cigarettes, telling them to keep quiet, before walking over and dragging Alex away from Linda.
"Linda is drunk," Justin grabbed Alex's ear and shouted, "Even the most shameless man knows not to take advantage of someone in such a state."
Alex chuckled foolishly and collapsed onto the table, unable to hold himself up.
Justin was the only sober person in the room. Since he was young, he had always shown a sense of responsibility in various situations, telling his friends not to walk in the middle of the road, not to race in the Tirani Tunnel, not to vote only for themselves, and not to forget to use a condom when sleeping with a girl they just met.
Justin took care of everyone, that's what his friends always said.
Suddenly, the door to the private room was forcefully pushed open, and several men barged in. Leading them was Algernon Burns, and standing beside him was the young man who had entered the wrong room earlier. Algernon quickly scanned the room and noticed the disheveled and unconscious Linda, his expression darkening.
"Burns, I don't remember seeing your name on the invitation," Justin stood up, blocking Algernon.
"I came to find my wife," Algernon's face turned grim, veins bulging on his forehead, his gaze fierce, "This kind of debauched party should not have her name associated with it!"
Algernon gestured to his subordinates, and they moved forward, stopping Justin. Algernon walked briskly to Seles, gently lifting her up. Drunk people were heavy, but Algernon effortlessly carried Seles in his arms.
Justin wanted to stop Algernon from taking Seles away but was dragged away by Burns' men, unable to get close. Algernon sneered and was about to leave with Seles when a man reeking of alcohol, clutching a beer bottle, stood in their way. It was Alex, who always had a foolish smile on his face.
"You, let her go."
"Why?"
"She's drunk," Alex leaned on the table, grabbed Algernon's ear, and despite the comical scene, he boldly and loudly declared, "Even the most shameless man knows not to take advantage of someone in such a state."
Algernon stepped forward and kicked the drunken Alex, cursing, "You damn drunkard, get out of here!"
Amidst the struggle, Seles regained consciousness in Algernon's arms. She opened her eyes slightly, forming a narrow slit, and murmured softly, "Hmm?"
Algernon looked at the woman in his arms. The corners of her tear-filled eyes seemed to be filled with a hint of innocent grievance. Her delicately sculpted eyebrows were slightly raised, and her smeared makeup resembled scattered petals on the snow, combining her innocence and allure. Algernon cursed inwardly and spat on the ground.
He didn't like this woman at all, so why did her voice stir an itchiness in his heart, making him want to kiss her deeply on those crimson lips?
The woman in his arms seemed to sense his thoughts. Her lips parted slightly, as if yearning for more breath, and an insignificant moan escaped from her throat, "Hmm?"
Her voice was soft and tender, carrying the coquettishness of a little girl.
Algernon was momentarily stunned. Seeing this intoxicating charm up close, there was probably no man who could resist it. At that moment, he finally noticed that she was wearing a very sexy and provocative black dress, with a plunging neckline that exposed almost half of her breasts.
Algernon didn't have time to appreciate the hot scene in front of him. He reached out and touched her chest, but his face changed dramatically. At this moment, Justin managed to break free from Burns' men, straightened his clothes, and stood in front of Algernon, provocatively saying, "Take your dirty hands off Seles, or I'll give your handsome face a punch."
Algernon glared angrily, "Why isn't she wearing a bra?"
"You bumpkin, haven't you heard of n****e covers?" Justin sneered.
"Seles wears n****e covers?" Algernon didn't immediately react. That meek and unremarkable wild girl actually dressed so boldly and provocatively!
"Are you surprised?" Justin raised an eyebrow and spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. "She has many secrets, but unfortunately, only I know them."
Algernon instantly realized that Justin was bluffing. If there were truly any secrets between Justin and Seles that were not known to others, he would never deign to reveal them. Algernon didn't respond and carried Seles out.
"Hey, where are you going?" Justin pushed Algernon.
"None of your business," Algernon said expressionlessly. He had already concluded that nothing had happened between Justin and Seles, so there was no need to be jealous of this clown who only knew how to throw punches.
Justin's intention was to provoke Algernon, make him angry, and lose control, so that he could use the scandal of domestic violence to force Algernon to completely give up on Seles. "You can't take her away, she's my friend!"
"She's my wife!"
"Huh, I thought she was already your Ex wife. That sounds about right."
"I didn't sign," Algernon said calmly. So, technically speaking, he's still her sole legal husband.
"What did you say?" Justin widened his eyes in surprise. "Wasn't it your proposal for the divorce?"
"Well." Algernon cast Justin a look, his tone plain as ever. "I regretted it."
