Whirlwind Marriage: My Possessive CEO's Undying Pampering-Chapter 979 - 976: Does It Hurt? (2)

"Not chasing me?" she asked in confusion, "Then what do you want to do?"

He responded, he’s not gay, asked her name and even pinned her against the wall, yet he isn’t chasing her—what does that mean?

Could it be that he wants a one-night stand?

No, if he did, he wouldn’t have rejected helping her last night. So, what kind of person is he?

Given his exceptional demeanor, always accompanied by an innate aura of regal sovereignty, she pondered, "Are you... the CEO?"

"Or... the President?"

"Or, Mr. President?"

Anyway, it’s certain that he is a military man, like her uncle used to be. She guessed that this man is a highly capable soldier, with substantial influence.

Because he resides in the presidential suite, it’s easy to guess his illustrious status.

Pausing, not waiting for his reply, she continued, "You..."

She seemed like she wanted to say something. However, before she could speak, he interrupted her abruptly, "Tell me your name, will you?"

His voice softened to an unprecedented gentleness. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

As gentle as coaxing Ivy.

Eva hadn’t reacted yet, and suddenly, she was pulled into his embrace, her face pressed against his chest.

He hugged her!

And it was such a sudden tenderness.

His hands came from behind, encircling her waist. Eva wore a burgundy strap dress, her back exposed to the air, and hugging like this meant his skin was directly against hers.

This feeling made her a bit uneasy.

Three years, never felt such panic before.

Moreover, the feeling, similar to last night, was that kind of warmth!!

"Well..." she paused, "My surname is Bennett, first name Eva."

"’Eva of the Night’s wind and rain sounds’."

"’Eva of the tree branches on mountain, the heart that loves unaware’."

"Eva Bennett." His grip involuntarily tightened, "Have you heard of the Book of Poems?"

She didn’t know, so she shook her head, "Never heard of it."

He recited, "The moon rises bright, beautiful people shine. Gentle moves lead, weary hearts keep silent."

"The moon rises bright, beautiful people glow. Gentle worries receive, weary hearts stay anxious."

"The moon rises bright, beautiful people blaze. Gentle youth leads, weary hearts stay sorrowful."

Seeing her three times, this is how he felt.

Last night at the swimming pool, moonlight softly illuminated her, and seeing her eyes... inexplicably reminded him of Ivy, and seemingly, he felt unable to control his heart at the sight of her.

Only having seen her a few times, in such a short time, he already... made an exception. Made an exception in getting close to a woman, even saving her, kissing her, intending to confront her but unconsciously wanting to be near her, even hugged her.

"Are you complimenting me?" She paused before continuing, "And no man has hugged me like this before... hurry and let go."

She’s frequently hugged by her uncle, sometimes by her mentor Ernest, but it’s different from this—this feeling made her very uneasy.

"Is that so?" In his memory, he also hasn’t had contact with a woman, without Ivy and King, he wouldn’t even admit... he’s ever touched a woman.

Even for three years, no woman has been close to him, and he seems to think he’s still a virgin!

"You’re really hot!" Eva was finally released from the man’s embrace, she complained, "You’re like a big furnace!"

She lifted her hand, glanced at it, and it was still red.

This strange man, must he be so rough? He nearly squeezed her wrist swollen!
