The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 634 Kieran Is A Fool

Amidst the steam in the room, the wrinkle on Inez’s brows gradually eased. Her lips-lusciously red from the effects

of the alcohol-would purse intermittently, a sign that she was in deep sleep.

Kieran was naturally aroused by the seductive sight before him. He wouldn’t be a man if he didn’t have any

reaction to it at all.

Suppressing the urge to pounce on her like a wild beast, he continued scrubbing her judiciously.

Half an hour later, Kieran, drenched from bathing Inez, washed himself under the shower.

Dazed by the alcohol still. Inez blinked. It was clear from the unfocused look in her eyes that she was still reeling

from its effects.

Upon hearing the sound of the shower, she flopped her arm on the side of the tub and languidly rested her head on

it. From there, she quietly observed the lanky and chiseled figure underneath the shower.

With water beading down his skin, she couldn’t deny how tantalizing he looked.

The angle at which she was admiring him allowed her to be awed by his exquisite features and dashing

appearance.

Scrutinizing every inch of his body, Inez began to feel a sense of mischief fill her drunken mind.

Holding her head up with one hand indolently, she spoke in a gentle voice. “Hey, handsome, you look amazing while

bathing. How much to have you for one night?”

Her voice stunned the showering Kieran. It took him a while to realize that she was talking to him.

Handsome? She’s already awake yet doesn’t realize who I am?

“Inez, tell me, do you know who I am?”

Breaking into a vampish smile, Inez rambled on. “Don’t worry, I’ll hire you for the night. No funny business. We’ll

just be chatting under the sheets.”

Kieran turned off the shower with a darkened expression and walked up to her. As he gradually kneeled down by

the tub, he asked in a frosty voice. “Do you really not know who I am?”

As Inez reached out to stroke his face and run her fingers over his features, she appeared slightly surprised. “You

resemble Mr. Kieran a lot. He’s already my fiancé, so I can’t cheat on him by hiring gigolos anymore. However, I

want someone to lend me their ear…”

Kieran responded with a sigh. “Whatever problems you have, you can tell me about them.”

Inez’s cheeks were blushing like red apples; her smile was so vibrant that her eyes seemed to glisten. Nonetheless,

it was clear from the cloudy look in her eyes that she was still drunk.

As if she was talking behind someone’s back, her expression looked particularly checky yet adorable at the same

time.

It was the exact opposite of the career-driven facade that she maintained in commercial circles.

“My fiancé is rich, handsome, and highly educated. It wouldn’t be too much to call him an epitome of the male

specimen, but…” Inez grumbled. “He’s emotionally incompetent and isn’t sensitive with his words.

Because of that, he gets on my nerves all the time.”

Kieran probed, “Do you resent him?”

Inez’s head shook decisively. “I like him and spent more than a year pursuing him.”

Her words gave Kieran a sudden sense of reassurance.

He then gave her a gentle kiss and whispered, “He likes you too.”

Sprawled on the side of the tub, Inez couldn’t stop smiling. “I told him to stop wooing me, as I want our relationship

to move on to the next stage. Despite such an obvious hint, the fool not just failed to get it but also insisted on

continuing the courtship for the entire year. Don’t you think there’s something wrong with his head?”

Her words stunned Kieran.

So, that’s what she meant at the swimming pool. I have missed the opportunity to take the next step with her.

Feeling unsatisfied, Kieran continued to manipulate the drunken Inez. “He’s an idiot indeed, so let’s not stay angry

with him. Once the holiday is over, you should get both families to bring forward the wedding date. How about

that?”

Inez shook her head as she puckered her lips. “I’m going to let that idiot continue wooing me… for two years this

time…”

Toward the end, her voice trailed off as she fell back into a deep sleep.

With an affectionate look in his eyes, Kieran shook his head in helpless resignation.

He then returned to the shower and quickly washed up. After drying Inez, he carried her out of the tub and placed

her on the hotel room bed.

There, both of them curled comfortably under the sheets.

Before turning off the lights, Kieran whispered in her ear, “I’m happy to pursue you throughout your entire life, but

it shouldn’t get in the way of our marriage registration.”

Upon learning the true intent of Inez’s words in the day, Kieran could feel the deviousness within him being ignited.

There’s no way I can let her disappointment be in vain.

Both of them subsequently fell asleep in each other’s arms.

By the time Inez awoke and rolled to her side, she realized she was sleeping on the crook of someone’s elbow.

Upon turning her head to look, she was greeted by the sight of Kieran sleeping soundly.

Underneath the white sheets was his chiseled and naked body.

Shocked by the sight, Inez shifted her attention to her own body and realized that she, too, was in a state of

undress

Last night… did we?

While she was fumbling around, Kieran woke up and blinked at her.

“You’re awake, Inez. Do you have a hangover after drinking so much last night?”

Kieran’s voice was sultry yet husky from having just woken up. If Inez were still naive and inexperienced, her heart

would have fluttered from just the sound of it

He reached out his hand to stroke her head and then gave her a gentle massage to ease the discomfort from her

hangover.

Touched by his actions, Inez replied, “I’m fine. Did we.. You didn’t do anything last night, did you?”

While speaking, she conveyed her meaning implicitly by glancing underneath the sheets.

Despite being cognizant of what she was inquiring about, Kieran had no plans to go into the details of her drunken

stupor from the night before. “No. After bringing you back to the room, I helped you wash up before we went to

bed.”

“I-Is that all? Other than bathing me, did you not do anything else?”

Kieran maintained an honest expression. “Even if I wanted to do something, I would’ve gotten your permission first.

I wouldn’t try to take advantage of the fact that you’re drunk.”

Inez naturally believed his words, but it didn’t stop her from feeling disappointed.

“How can we just sleep through our first night overseas? Are you being too proper, or am I not attractive enough

for you?”

Stunned by her question, Kieran stared blankly at her before realizing what she meant.

“Inez, don’t tell me that you were thinking of…”

Inez held up her palm and pushed his head away. “I wasn’t thinking of anything. Time to get out of bed. The earlier

we wash up and have breakfast, the earlier we can go out with Gwendolyn and Cedrick.”

Just as she attempted to jump out of bed, she felt Kieran wrap his arm around her waist and pull her back into his

arms.

With her back pressed against his chest, Inez could clearly hear his heartbeat.

Thump… thump…..

His heart is beating really fast. He must be feeling nervous.

After showering Inez’s ear with his warm breath, Kieran spoke in a raspy voice. “How can you not be attractive

enough? A single look from your seductive eyes is enough to make me lose control.”

Upon hearing his words, Inez cocked a curious brow. “Oh, since when have you become such a sweet talker? I like

the way you have with words now.”

Kieran pressed his cheek against hers. “Since we didn’t do much on the first night of our trip, it’s not too late to

make up for it this morning.”

“Mr. Kieran

Inez had barely responded when Kieran pinned her down beneath him.

Inez protested, “Just look at the time already. We’ll be late if we dally any longer, and those two will be worried

about us.”

“I’m sure they’ll understand.”

When she saw the resolute look on Kieran’s face, Inez finally gave in shyly. “I-In that case, make it quick.”

“Huh?”

Brows raised, Kieran leaned in to kiss her lips before asserting, “I’m as strong as an ox. There’s no way I can make

it quick.”
