The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1182:

Laney’s face scrunched up in frustration. “But the family rules say you shouldn’t fool around. Have you been with a lot of people?”

Cliff suppressed a smirk, keeping his cool facade intact. “When I was younger, during a few monotonous assignments, I had some admirers.”

Laney stared at him, stunned into silence. She wanted to argue that he wasn’t that kind of man. Cliff’s clean private life had always been his most attractive quality—everyone admired his self-restraint. But then again, he was almost thirty. How could he still be a virgin?

Laney’s conflicted thoughts eventually gave way to stubbornness. “You’re just trying to upset me, aren’t you? You’re making me think you’re not clean so I’ll give up on you.”

Cliff raised an eyebrow slightly, acknowledging the truth in her words. “So, what do you think of me now?” he asked calmly.

Laney stared at his face—mature yet detached. She, on the other hand, was impulsive and childish, unable to mask her feelings. “Wait for the notice. I’ll let you know when I stop liking you.” Cliff chuckled, amused by her words.

Later, when Laney recounted this to Kailyn, Kailyn looked puzzled. “So, Cliff’s just your human toy now?”

Laney’s mouth twitched. “That’s too much! I like him, which is why I like the way he touched me. It’s not just some shallow thing.”

Kailyn’s expression turned serious. “Do you think he likes you back?”

Laney propped her chin on her hand, her voice tinged with sadness. “I don’t think so.” Everything that happened between them felt like her own doing—her willfulness forcing him to indulge her whims. Whatever she asked for, he gave, but only to appease her, like a child.

Seeing Laney so troubled, Kailyn disappeared for two days and returned with a capsule in hand. “Drop this in water, let it dissolve, and make Cliff drink it. It’ll keep him hard for three days and nights.”

Laney’s eyes widened in shock. “Three days? That sounds dangerous! Are there any side effects?”

Kailyn shrugged. “Please, Cliff’s physique can handle three capsules at once. Don’t worry.”

Laney hesitated, turning the idea over in her mind. “Isn’t this a bit too much?”

Kailyn raised an eyebrow. “You and Cliff have no future anyway. Since it’s doomed, why leave regrets? If you have sex with him after the capsule takes effect, it’ll be a memory you’ll never forget.”

Kailyn sighed dramatically. “Seriously though, Cliff must have incredible self-restraint. With your beauty, he still only satisfied you with his hands.”

“Well, he clearly has,” Laney said.

“Maybe he’s impotent?”

Laney blinked. “Huh?”

“Lots of men use excuses to hide their inadequacies,” Kailyn added. Laney thought for a moment. “Probably not. He did react at that time.”
