The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Eighty-Two
Chapter Eighty-TwoReturning to work, Bella felt much more at ease, though she often found herself pondering Levi's words from that night. Levi's words weren't difficult to understand, but what confused her was his gradually changing attitude. The thing was, Bella couldn't determine in which direction his attitude was shifting.Bella thought she should be the one feeling anxious and urgent, not Levi. This was why she couldn't grasp Levi's behavior. Whenever she thought about it, she wondered if Levi was perhaps misunderstanding their relationship.Bringing those thoughts and feelings home, Bella didn't expect Max to already be there since she thought she had returned early. Thinking about how Max didn't discover what happened the previous night, Bella's face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and anxiety, but she quickly regained her composure.“Why are you home early today?” Bella asked, trying to sound casual.Bella arrived just as Max was finishing cooking dinner. Seeing her, he c
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Eighty-Three
Chapter Eighty-ThreeAs soon as Max finished speaking, he immediately stepped into the living room. Although this wasn't his first time visiting his father-in-law's mansion, each visit always brought an invisible pressure that tightly bound him.“Father, we’re here.” Max gently knocked on the door.Mr. James, who was reading a document, looked up with an expressionless face. He glanced at Max, “You came alone? Where’s Bella?”“Here I am!” Bella cheerfully walked in, quickly choosing a seat next to her father and handed him a prepared gift box. “Dad, look at this, it’s the high-grade tea that you really like. I went through a lot of trouble to get it.”In contrast to his reaction to Max, Mr. James beamed with joy upon seeing his daughter, his face bright with happiness. Max, trying to appear cheerful, sat down opposite them. Despite being married to Bella for four years, in his father-in-law’s eyes, he was still an outsider.“Father, why did you call Bella and me here?” Max didn't want
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Eighty-Four
Chapter Eighty-FourFor the past four days, Max had been intentionally preparing a cup of hot milk for Bella every evening, citing concern for her health and sleep. Bella, though suspicious, couldn't pinpoint exactly what she was worried about. Initially, Bella was reluctant to accept the milk, but eventually, she figured a cup of milk couldn't harm her, so she accepted it cheerfully from her husband.Seeing Bella drink, Max smiled and said, "Your father mentioned that we need to have a comprehensive health check-up next week. Even if work is busy, you need to take better care of your health."Max's care and attentiveness made Bella uncomfortable, but she just smiled it off and closed the door to continue her work. Bella couldn't determine if her health decline was due to an increased workload or her irregular eating habits recently. Right in the office, Bella felt stomach pains—initially mild cramps that she could tolerate, but they soon intensified, making her break out in a cold s
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Eighty-Five
Chapter Eighty-Five"Miss Bella... please stay in the hospital for another day or two until your health is fully recovered. You are leaving right after waking up will-" The doctor said worriedly.Bella waved her hand, cutting him off, "I know, but I feel much better already. I have things to do and can’t stay here any longer."Hearing this, the doctor continued to advise Bella to stay for further examinations. Bella raised an eyebrow and said, "You don’t need to worry. I’ll rest well at home, so there’s no need to stay in the hospital.""But if you leave now, what am I supposed to tell Mr. Karter?" the doctor murmured. However, he couldn’t stop Bella if she wanted to be discharged.Since there were only the two of them in the room, Bella heard him clearly. She shrugged and said, "I’ll tell Levi later."Though she didn’t show any special emotion outwardly, Bella felt extremely uneasy inside. When Levi left the room, she had the quiet space to think more carefully about the unusual thin
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Eighty-Six
Chapter Eighty-SixBella worked, but her mood was restless and anxious. She kept glancing at her phone, waiting in worry and unease, but also full of anticipation and hope. Lauriel, sitting next to her, chuckled softly."Are you waiting for your boyfriend to call? You really know how to choose a boyfriend. He's not only handsome and tall, but he also seems very wealthy... like someone with high social status. Bella, tell me, which prestigious family does your boyfriend belong to? He doesn't seem like an ordinary salaried worker like us."Lauriel spoke with admiration in her eyes, not just for Bella's exceptionally attractive boyfriend but also because she had heard that the man had paid all of Bella's hospital bills, wanted to transfer her to a private room, and ensured she received special care. This level of attention wasn't something an ordinary man could afford, everyone knows that hospital fees are not cheap, and hospital services are extremely expensive.Bella knew Lauriel had
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Eighty-Seven
Chapter Eighty-SevenThe atmosphere in the room began to feel strange, and Bella was confused by his question."Are you asking about the nature of our relationship? What are you talking about? Of course, our relationship is mutually beneficial. You help me get revenge on them, and in return, I fulfill your sexual needs." Bella said casually because it was the truth, an obvious truth. She didn't understand what Levi was implying.Levi didn't show any particular reaction as if he had already guessed Bella would respond that way. He sighed softly."But I feel that in this relationship… I'm not getting any benefits."Bella didn't understand, but she knew his words carried a hidden meaning. She frowned slightly, "What do you mean? Speak clearly, you’re not someone who likes to be vague."Levi's gaze was cold and dangerous. Bella couldn't look into his eyes for too long, so she took a sip of tea to calm herself. She didn't know why Levi was angry, but since she needed his help now, she coul
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Eighty-Eight
Chapter Eighty-EightMr. James seemed to sense the unusual nature of his daughter's marriage clearly. Rarely seeing his daughter and son-in-law, and knowing that Bella did not want him to interfere in her small family to ensure her happiness and her right to decide her own fate, he had complied with her wishes.However, when Bella mentioned that she had been experiencing abdominal pain to the point of bleeding and yet Max showed no concern, Mr. James found it hard to accept such indifference.“Tell me, what’s going on between you and Max?” Mr. James tried to suppress his discomfort as he spoke to his daughter.Bella, of course, wanted to tell her father everything, but it wasn’t the right time. She simply smiled lightly and said, “Nothing is wrong, Dad. Don’t worry too much, I will handle everything myself.”“You? Handle everything yourself? Bella, I respected you and gave you the full right to make your own decisions and didn’t interfere. But look at this, married for four years and

It was the first time she had been ignored and shown disdain by a man.As soon as Max returned to the office, Pearl clung to his arm and said coquettishly, "Max..."Before Pearl could finish her sentence, Max gently pushed her away and sighed, "How could you be so rude, Pearl? You can address me however you want in the company, but Levi is not just my friend; he's an important client. Thanks to him, I've been able to secure many successful projects.""I... I didn't mean to, I just thought since he's your friend, he's also my friend. I just wanted to be friendly and create a harmonious atmosphere. He didn't need to be so harsh with me."
