The Betrayed Heiress Is Now the CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 466

Chapter 466

Sean filled the tub with warm water, then gently placed Charlotte side. He picked up a towel and carefully began washing her fair, delicate skin.

Maybe it was the steam rising from the hot water, but the blush or Charlotte’s face wouldn’t fade.

The bathtub was large enough for two, so sharing it didn’t feel crowded at all.

Charlotte leaned against the edge of the tub, letting, Sean bathe her without saying a word.

Looking at her flushed cheeks, Sean felt a surge of affection. He leaned in and planted a soft kiss on her face. Then another. quick and gentle, like a playful peck.

But it wasn’t enough.

He brushed his lips against hers in a light, fleeting kiss.

Charlotte was too sore and drained to resist. She let him kiss her as he pleased.

“So sweet,” Sean murmured, kissing her lips, her cheeks, and the corners of her eyes with gentle affection.

After the bath, he carried her to the bedroom, helped her change the sheets, and sat her down in a chair to dry her hair.

Standing behind her, he ran his fingers through her damp strands while holding the hairdryer.

“Can I stay over tonight?” he asked.

Charlotte, still exhausted, replied weakly, “I’m seriously worn out. I have no energy left.”

He chuckled under his breath. The dryer shifted slightly as his fingers combed through her hair. “I promise. I’ll just hold you. Nothing else.”

“I don’t believe you.”

“Really, I mean it.”

He had already gone three rounds–from late afternoon until nightfall..

His stamina was terrifying.

After so long without intimacy, she wasn’t about to tempt fate again.

Charlotte shook her head. “I still don’t believe you.”

“When have I ever lied to you?”

He really shouldn’t have brought that up.

Her expression darkened, and her tone turned cold. “Oh? Really? Then what about when you broke up with me? What did you say then?”

Sean fell silent.

He realized he had walked right into that one. “That was my fault. But the situation back then was complicated. You know why I did it now, don’t you?”

Charlotte let out a cold laugh. ““Complicated or not, you still said everything you told me before was all a lie. And what about the scandal with Lucinda? Was that not lying too?”

Sean scratched his head awkwardly. “It was… a well–intentioned lie.”

She wasn’t having it. “Still a lie.”

“Okay, okay,” he gave in, raising his hands in defeat.

Once her hair was dry, Sean asked softly, “You must be starving. What do you feel like eating? I’ll make something ”

“I’m fine with anything.”

Sean stepped into the kitchen and smelled something freshly made. The pasta was still warm, and several covered dishes sat on the counter, steam still rising.

He pulled off the lids–four side dishes and a pot of soup, all hot and ready to eat.

Clearly, the housekeeper, Cora, had come by and prepared dinner earlier.

Maybe she had knocked, but neither of them had noticed–too caught up in each other to hear anything at all.

Sean brought the food to the table and called Charlotte to come eat

When she saw the spread, Charlotte blinked in confusion. “That was fast. There’s no way this is takeout. It couldn’t have arrived that quickly.”
