56. I Love Him
"Do you still have Max's favorite cookie recipe?" Gabriella asked with sparkling eyes.
In an instant, the butler was astonished to see the woman who suddenly approached her.
"Yes, Madam. Would you like to learn it?”
Gabriella shook her head with a crooked smile. "I want to make it now."
Minnie blinked in disbelief. After noticing the change in young woman's eyes, she hurriedly took out a tattered book from the cupboard.
"Do you need help to make it?"
Again, Gabriella shook her head. “I can make it by myself. Thank you."
Enthusiastically, the young woman prepared her little surprise. Never once did she frown. Something burning in the chest had pumped the spirit to make the husband smile.
"I hope my decision is not wrong," she thought every time worry came.

When night fell, Gabriella waited in the living room with a glass jar decorated with a red ribbon. The gingerbread neatly arranged inside looked

Before Amber could reach Gabriella, Minnie stepped forward to stop her. “What do you want to do, Miss? Please don't cause a fuss." The guest suddenly cast a disappointed look at the butler. "Why did Auntie defend her? Isn't it me who you know first? What a disappointment,” Amber grumbled as she opened the bag without looking. A few seconds later, the lady took out an invitation. "I come to deliver this." Gabriella's brows automatically furrowed. "Why don't you give it to Max directly?" she investigated suspiciously. “It's not for Max, but Miss-Without-Last-Name. Am I right? You don't have a family name, do you? Just like your father and mother?” Gabriella's jaw began to throb with displeasure. "Please don't insult my family." "I don't insult. Just tell the truth. So, do you want to accept my invitation or not?” Amber raised her eyebrows as if her pride lay there. "Why do you invite me? Don't you hate me?" the cautious w

"Didn't you promise to come home on time, Sir? Why did you just arrive now?” Minnie asked as Max stepped inside. The man's face spontaneously curled up. "Please don't add to my guilt. There was an unexpected job earlier," the CEO said, grinning. "Where's Gabriella? Is her in the room?” "Yes. Since this afternoon—" "Thanks, Auntie," Max interrupted as he hurried up the stairs. The butler who was about to report, became amazed at his speed. “But Master ….” The man just raised his hand, stating that he couldn't wait to meet Gabriella. Realizing that Max's spirit was too high, the butler sighed in resignation. "I hope he can handle his wife." With furrowed brows, Minnie let the man into the room. "Gabriella?" Max whispered after closing the door. The woman lying on the bed didn't answer. "Is she asleep?" the man thought, not daring to speak. After rolling his eyes for a moment, a crooked smile appeared on hi
CEO's Love in Trap 59. Accidentally Touch
Fifteen minutes passed, Max had dozens of times looking for a comfortable position. He tried lying to his right, staring at the ceiling, and facing his wife's back. However, none of them felt right to him. "How can I sleep?" the man thought as he furrowed his brows. However, the woman didn't seem to care. “Should I try to hug her? Maybe she is asleep and don't realize,” Max thought as he shifted closer. Before he could raise his hand, Gabriella coughed a little. Max's whole body froze. "Isn't she sleeping?" the man murmured as he blinked stiffly. Suddenly, Gabriella moved, changing positions so that they were facing each other. Max spontaneously held his breath. However, as soon as he found his wife's face, the man immediately let out a faint sigh. "How can I forget? Gabriella is always sleepy after crying. It's natural that she's asleep." Without thinking, Max leaned closer to his wife. "I have an important meeting to

“What else are you doing, Sir? Why is Madam crying?” Minnie inquired after making sure Gabriella entered the room. "I accidentally touched her," Max said flatly. The butler's eyes widened. "Why did you do such a careless thing?" she grumbled. "She almost fell. I caught her reflexively," the man explained with deep furrows. After imagining what had happened, the old woman sighed and lowered her voice. "What's your next plan, then?" "I don't know. My mind is stuck. It looks like, Gabriella won't trust me anymore," Max said while looking down. "Why are you so easily discouraged like this?" "I've broken my own words, and she thinks I stole the opportunity on purpose," the man explained before clutching his throbbing head. After a moment of silence, Minnie finally expressed her opinion, "If that's so, you should give her some time alone." "What do you mean, Auntie?" Max grabbed with a sharp look in his eyes.

“We shouldn't choose black costumes. It's like being in mourning,” Gabriella mumbled as she noticed the bright colors on the other guests' clothes. "Look, everyone is looking at us." The man walking beside her smiled. "They're not looking at us, but you." "Me? Why?" the woman said with round eyes, pausing in her steps. "Because you are so beautiful tonight." Gabriella's face suddenly turned stiff. Her husband's seduction was tasteless to her. "I'm willing to come here doesn't mean I have forgiven your mistake." Hearing that firmness, the curve of the man's lips suddenly shrunk. With a serious expression, he approached the woman's ear. "We're in the middle of a crowd. Can't you delay your annoyance? You can beat me as much as you want when we get home." "Is it true? I won't hesitate to put all my strength into it," the woman threatened, successfully bringing a smile back on Max's face. "Yes," the man nodded. A se

Before that, I have to get to the climax first. I'll go crazy if I hold it in any longer."A sigh of disbelief spontaneously escaped from Gabriella's mouth. "Are you admitting that you just want my body?""I do want your body," Max said as he walked over to the pile of chairs. After putting the coat there, he turned back to his wife, unbuttoning the buttons below his neck. “But, a more appropriate sentence would be … I want whole of you.”In just an instant, the sound of muffled shrieks began to heat up the atmosphere. Gabriella quickly covered her mouth with a fist, afraid that an ear behind the door would hear.Knowing that his wife was overwhelmed, instead of slowing down, the man picked up speed.
