Sweet Wife in Hidden Marriage novel Chapter 40

To her disgust, Lillian pushed Archibald’s face away upon hearing that and snorted, "Sebastian?"

Hostility glinted in Archibald’s eyes. He grabbed her lower jaw, pulled it over to face him and corrected her, "No, it’s Archibald."

Dizzy, Lillian was totally under his control. She mumbled, "Archibald?"

The cunning fox nodded with satisfaction. "That’s right, good girl. Say after me. Your husband is Archibald."

"Your… husband if Archibald." It had to be said that the drunk Lillian was obedient and cute!

The smile froze on Archibald’s lips and embarrassment was written all over his face. He closed the car door and sat on the backseat with Lillian in his arms, finding it necessary to teach her this sentence!

"Lillian, look at me. I’m Archibald."

"Archibald?"

"Correct, is husband. String them together."

"Archibald… is husband."

"Whose husband?" He pinched her jaw, and her burning red cheeks were right under his nose. Archibald thought this time he would succeed in teaching her, but who knew that this woman also asked, "Whose husband?"

Archibald went on teaching her, frowning, "Is Lillian’s husband. Archibald is Lillian’s husband. Say it."

Under Archibald’s patient teaching, the muzzy Lillian said in a soft voice, "Archibald… is Lillian’s husband."

Her tender voice seemed to have captured his heart all of a sudden. Archibald held the woman in his arms tighter and said in a low and magnetic voice, "That’s right. Keep that in mind. Did you hear me?" Archibald was aware that he was deceiving himself, and that she would forget it when she woke up, but it would be great if she could remember it at this moment.

"Yeah." Her eyes half closed, Lillian nodded subconsciously.

Watching the sweet and docile girl in his arms, Archibald kept his eyes fixing on her delicate and rosy lips. He just wanted to peck her on the lips. However, this woman’s lips were too soft, and he couldn’t help but nibble them again after taking a bite of them, and then he just lost control.

Lillian was leaning against the seat back, and now she was pushed over by Archibald without difficulty. He pressed himself against Lillian with her in his arms, but the inebriate Lillian only found it uncomfortable to be pinned under him. Her lips were limp and numb, and she felt… the same way when she had been forced a kiss on by Archibald.

Suddenly, Lillian was brought back to reason. Archibald!

Lillian opened her little mouth in the heat of the moment, but Archibald mistakenly believed that she was taking the initiative to cater to him while drunk, and of course he pressed his lips against hers without ceremony.

The alcohol fumes over her seemed to have also intoxicated him, while the fragrance from her had been seducing his nerves and hands, alluring him to ask for more.

Archibald took a deep breath and came to his senses. This woman was born to break him, but not at this moment, nor did he want to get her at this point of time, even if his hand had already slid under her clothes uncontrollably, and what beneath his lightly callused hot palm was the land of tenderness.

The next day when Lillian woke up with a splitting headache, she squinted her eyes and wanted to sit up, but found something pressing against her waist. She looked down in confusion, and discovered that a man’s arm was actually around her waist!

She looked back in fear, but the distance was so close that she almost bumped against the man’s straight nose. Lillian jerked her head back from him abruptly.

"Archibald!" Lillian failed to tell what kind of feeling she was having, astounded, angry or puzzled, maybe all.

The man heard her frustrated yell, fluttered his long eyelashes without opening his eyes and said in a lazy tone, "Why make a fuss in the morning?" Archibald tightened his grip on Lillian’s waist and drew her back in his arms again.

Lillian tried her best to tear his arm away from her. However, there was a great disparity in strength between men and women. If he didn’t want to let go of her, it was no use of her trying. Therefore, Lillian could only lift her free leg to kick him away from her!

Apparently, Lillian didn’t take the close distance between them into consideration. As Archibald was holding her lying on his side, the moment she raised her leg, she bumped against the bulge between his groins. Lillian froze, and saw the man glaring at her with a grim face and clenched teeth as she looked up.

Even the dumbest one would realize what that was. Lillian didn’t dare to move her leg anymore, but even if she remained motionless, she could feel it was pressing against her, and blushed instantly.

"You…" Lillian just wanted to push him away in a moment of desperation.

Archibald turned over and pinned her under him. He was actually topless! Pressing his strong chest against her, he suddenly found her petite.

"Lillian, are you doing that to seduce me in the early morning?" Staring at the panic-stricken woman beneath him, Archibald gave a teasing smile.

Lillian, who just woke up with a splitting headache, came alive when hearing his words. She warded him off with her arms and shouted coldly, "Archibald, what are you doing in the morning? Get off from me! You’re so heavy!" She tried to push away the iron wall of his chest with her slender arms.

With a wicked smile, Archibald grabbed her hands, tore them apart and pinned them to her sides. "So this is heavy to you? Do you want to know what heavy really is?" He distanced his upper body from her, looking down at her.

Lillian gritted her teeth. This man was indeed a beast in human clothing. She couldn’t stop feeling scared at the thought that she had shared a bed with him last night.

"What did you do to me last night?" Lillian couldn’t help but ask angrily, her voice trembling.

"What do you expect me to have done to you, huh?" He narrowed his eyes slightly and gave a crooked smile, looking evil and seductive at the same time.

Lillian’s cheeks started to burn unwillingly. Her clenched fists were pinned to her sides as if they were firmly locked, and she couldn’t break free at all.

"Archibald, I was having dinner with Lawyer Bennett last night. By what illegal means did you kidnap me here?"

"Why do you use such harsh words? You were stoned and unconscious last night, and Lawyer Bennett didn’t know where you live. If it weren’t for me, you would long have been taken away by some stranger. You have no sense of crisis at all." Archibald rebuked her a lecture forcefully as if he was the kindest man in the world.

Lillian was suspicious. "How come Lawyer Bennett asked you to take over me?" Even if Lawyer Bennett didn’t know where she lived, he could have just called Stephen. Lawyer Bennett was supposed to send her home, but he had actually passed her to Archibald halfway. How irresponsible of him!

"Lillian, you’re not thinking straight. The news about us is seen in the newspaper every day, and everyone takes you as my woman. Who dares to stop me from taking my woman home?"

Lillian watched Archibald rising his brows and smiling faintly. His air of leisure and mischief really angered her! How dared he boast shamelessly that she was his woman! Oddly though, why did she feel shy when hearing that? How bizarre!

"Even if that was the case, you shouldn’t have… kidnapped me to your bed!" Her teeth clenched, Lillian looked furious.

"Lillian, you’re talking through your hat. It was you who held me and pestered me to sleep with you last night. Don’t turn your back on me once you’ve done it!"

Lillian was astonished, her eyes wide open. She didn’t believe what he said at all and snorted, "I held you? And I pestered you? If you want to get away with that story, at least have some sense, will you?" Lillian imagined that scene based on his description. She held him and pestered him? Lillian actually felt a little embarrassed imaging that.

"I knew you would deny everything, but luckily, I recorded the scene at that time." Archibald released her and took up the phone on the nightstand as he spoke.
