She looked teasingly at Lambert, who was fuming with embarrassment and anger because of her pranks. In a teasing tone, she said, "What's the matter? Are you furious from being made fun of?"
At this moment, Lambert felt that this woman was just absolutely detestable.
He calmed himself down, reached out, and held the hand she placed on his cheek, exuding a wicked charm. "Ariana, I've noticed that you're getting more and more audacious..."
Ariana laughed lightly and provocatively responded, "Am I?"
Lambert said, "You seem to guess everything. Have you guessed what he put in the food?"
She paused. She didn't feel anything wrong when she was eating the food. However, his words made her feel somewhat anxious.
"What?"
He spoke leisurely, "What do you think is the fastest way for him to ruin you, Mrs. Stone?"
Ariana reacted belatedly and her cheeks flushed instantly, "But...but I didn't feel anything when I was eating..."
Lambert leaned closer and whispered ambiguously, "Wouldn't it be a failed attempt if you were to feel anything?"
"You!"
Her face soured in humiliation, teeth clenched in anger.
She didn't know whether it was because Lambert was too close or the drug was beginning to take effect, but Ariana felt her body becoming warm.
Seeing that her previous arrogant temper had subsided considerably, Lambert's hand began to misbehave. "No worries, at least I'm by your side now, there's no danger of being exposed."
Feeling his hand sliding onto her waist, she became stiff with fright and immediately cried out, "Lambert! We clearly agreed that we're just..."
"Shush!"
He raised a finger to her lips. "Promises can change. After all, our marriage certificate is real... Besides, I'm the one at a disadvantage now."
Bullshit!
Ariana felt like she was about to explode with anger at his words. She quickly raised her hand to push against his chest, refusing him, "Well... I don't need your sacrifice... Currently, I feel that I'm still..."
"Mmm..."
Before she could finish speaking, she felt the soft sensation of his lips on hers.
Lambert kissed her fervently, even recklessly, not stopping his movements.
The confined space of the car, the weight of Lambert's large figure pressing down on her, left no room for her to struggle.
Lambert's kiss was too forceful, filled with teasing. Still, she thought she sensed his anger in it.
Lambert moved his hand under her skirt, the coolness of his palm giving her goosebumps.
Ariana came to her senses, remembering she was in a parking lot near a restaurant, she pushed him away with all her strength. "Let... let go..."
His breathing intensified, his voice hushed yet severe. "As a wife, such ignorance isn't acceptable."
Words of humiliation from her past life, from Vincent, flashed in her mind, and her eyes filled with tears.
Feeling the woman beneath him stiffen, Lambert gradually came to his senses. He looked at Ariana, her eyes filled with fear, her face streaked with tears.
Lambert paused slightly, subconsciously wanting to wipe her tears.
However, as soon as his hand touched Ariana's face, he was slapped hard.
Smack!
He slightly turned his head, feeling a numb pain in his left cheek.
Ariana forcefully pushed Lambert away, covered her face, and got out of the car.
