Secretly Married for 4 Years, He Regrets to Tears After the Divorce-Chapter 71: The Fire You Started

It all happened so suddenly.

Wren Sutton’s body was completely out of her control. By the time she cried out in surprise and realized what was happening, it was too late to brace herself.

Adrian Lancaster’s brows furrowed. He instinctively reached out, wrapping an arm around her as he leaned forward to shield her.

Wren Sutton pitched forward into Adrian Lancaster’s arms, her face landing squarely on his thigh. The position was mortifyingly awkward; she was mere millimeters away from... that part of him.

A social death of epic proportions.

"..."

Wren Sutton’s face burned, and her heart pounded with frustration and shame.

The warm air from her breaths slowly seeped through the fabric of his pants, warming Adrian Lancaster’s skin.

"..."

Adrian Lancaster’s eyes darkened. His Adam’s apple bobbed as his thigh muscles clenched involuntarily, the tension spreading to his waist and abdomen as a rush of heat ignited within him.

Just then, the driver lowered the privacy partition, still shaken.

"Sir, Young Madam, my apologies. A car just ran a red light. It was an emergency, so I had to swerve suddenly."

So that was the reason.

Since there was a valid reason, neither Adrian Lancaster nor Wren Sutton blamed the driver.

The driver breathed a sigh of relief. When he accidentally caught a glimpse of Wren Sutton sprawled in Adrian Lancaster’s lap, he quickly raised the partition again, pretending he hadn’t seen a thing.

The car started moving again, gliding forward slowly.

Just as Wren Sutton was about to get up, Adrian Lancaster’s teasing voice sounded from above her.

"We’re not even home yet, and you’re already throwing yourself at me."

He seemed to be in a good mood, a hint of a smile lacing his deep voice.

Wren Sutton rolled her eyes, speechless.

’As if I’d ever throw myself at a man who betrayed our marriage. I’d have to be insane.’

"I didn’t do it on purpose. The driver just explained what happened."

Adrian Lancaster looked down at her, his expression unreadable.

"That doesn’t explain why you had to fall onto my lap." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Wren Sutton pressed her lips together. It was impossible to explain, so she decided to just sit up first.

She had just started to straighten up when Adrian Lancaster suddenly pressed her back down. His palm rested on the side of her waist, its heat searing.

"You..." Wren Sutton frowned and looked up.

In the flickering light of the passing streetlamps, their gazes met, and they stared at each other.

Time seemed to stand still, and everything became silent.

The air grew thick with a subtle tension.

Adrian Lancaster gently caressed Wren Sutton’s cheek, his gaze anything but innocent.

Wren Sutton’s pupils trembled. Her breath caught in her throat, and she froze in a panic, forgetting to resist.

The next second, Adrian Lancaster lifted her bodily and sat her on his lap.

Wren Sutton felt something hard press against her. When she realized what it was, she flushed with humiliation and anger.

"Adrian Lancaster, you pervert!"

Adrian Lancaster pressed his forehead against hers, his desire now fully aroused.

"You’re the one who started this fire."

"I didn’t do anything."

"If you’re this good at it without even trying, what would happen if you actually did something, hmm?"

Listening to his teasing, provocative words, Wren Sutton felt only a deep sense of sorrow.

’Adrian Lancaster doesn’t love me, but that doesn’t stop him from being a pig. That’s just how men are.’

Her gaze turned cold, and she struggled to get off him.

"Let go of me."

Those three words shattered the brief, charged moment.

Adrian Lancaster’s face darkened.

He thought of what Ms. Sterling had said in the office, and the scene he’d witnessed tonight at The Silvercloud Hotel.

Rage, mingled with desire, surged through him. He grabbed the back of Wren Sutton’s head, giving her no chance to resist, and kissed her forcefully, as if punishing her.

Forced to endure it, Wren Sutton angrily bit Adrian Lancaster’s lip, and the taste of blood filled their mouths.

This was the second time she had bitten him.

Adrian Lancaster let her bite him. Not only did he not let go, but he became even more aroused, deepening the kiss.

In the heat of the moment, he lost all reason. He pushed Wren Sutton down and pressed his body against hers.

Alarm bells screamed in Wren Sutton’s mind. Worried about hurting the baby, she immediately begged for mercy.

"Adrian, please, don’t do this."

Even if she weren’t pregnant, she could never accept doing *that* in a car.

Adrian Lancaster was unmoved. He pulled open her collar as he continued to kiss her.

"You’re not behaving. This is your punishment. I won’t go easy on you again tonight."
