Chapter 96
Alexander stared at Lila as she tried hard to reason with him, his lips curling into a cold sneer, "Since when have you been so obedient?"
She protested quietly, "Haven't I always been obedient?"
His eyes, full of mockery, locked onto her small face, his slightly raised tone dripping with disdain, "So obedient that you now dare to talk back to me so brazenly?"
Lila felt helpless.
She was just trying to communicate with him about the issue. Was even that not allowed?
Alexander watched her hesitant expression, his patience wearing thin.
If things kept dragging on like this until their divorce a year later, and she still hadn't gotten pregnant with his child, then when would Celeste ever come back?
Thinking of Celeste, Alexander lost all interest in wasting words with Lila.
He grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the room, heading toward the master bedroom of Island Mansion.
Lila never expected he would resort to force. She grabbed onto the bedroom doorframe with one hand, arguing her case, "We just agreed that we'd wait until I fall in love with you and we've developed feelings for each other before doing that kind of thing. Now you're pulling me to your room again—isn't that breaking your promise?"
His cold, contemptuous gaze swept over her, frighteningly dark, and he said nothing.
Lila asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
"Haven't you broken your promise?"
"I haven't."
Alexander sneered coldly, "After you agreed to be the driver, you called Grandma and said you wouldn't do it anymore. Doesn't that count as going back on your word?"
"But you allowed that."
"That's right, and this time sleeping together is also something I'm allowing."
Lila bit her lip, looking at him pitifully, "But why are you in such a hurry? Am I really that attractive to you?"
Alexander could hardly believe what he was hearing.
Attractive?
Her?
Alexander suddenly yanked Lila in front of him, looking down at her, "Since when have you been so confident?"
"I wasn't confident before, but since you're so eager to sleep with me, I can't help but boldly guess."
"Lila!"
Lila was startled by his angry warning.
She tentatively tugged at her wrist, trying to escape from his grip.
But his strength was too great; she couldn't break free.
Lila looked at him with pleading eyes, "Honey—sorry, boss! You're the CEO of the Sinclair Group, the top big shot standing at the peak of Oceancrest City's pyramid, an absolute golden boy. Countless wealthy young ladies in Oceancrest City like you and throw themselves at you. I'm just an ordinary nobody, not worth you forcing yourself."
Smart as Alexander was, he naturally saw through the real reason behind all her rambling and asked directly, "You don't want to sleep with me?"
"I wouldn't dare defile someone as sacred as you."
Alexander let out a cold laugh.
Lila didn't know what that cold laugh meant.
Was he not going to force her anymore, or was it pure disdain, or perhaps contempt?
While her mind was still guessing at more possibilities, she was suddenly swept up into the air!
Lila instantly snapped back to reality and realized Alexander was carrying her princess-style.
This was the first time in her life anyone had carried her like this.
But with the situation so urgent, she had no mind to savor the feeling of being carried princess-style, nor any mood to admire Alexander's devastatingly handsome profile. Her mind had only one thought—
After the face-kissing and lip-kissing, she was about to lose her virginity!
