hapter 289 Intense Palpitations
Audrey ignored Sterling’s obstruction and bypas sed him, preparing to leave again.
But in the next moment, her delicate wrist was grabbed by him.
He pulled her into his arms with force.
Audrey was caught off guard and her nose collided with his rock-hard chest, causing her so much pain that she almost slapped him across the face.
With a force, Audrey pushed him away and took a few steps back, covering her nose.
Tears welled up in the deer’s eyes, and he glared at him in annoyance.
She thought he had become well-behaved today, but it turns out he is still so domineering and arrogant deep down.
“Why didn’t you leave?” He gazed at her with deep, dark eyes, and took long strides towards her.
With a dangerous aura emanating from her, Audrey unconsciously stepped back until her waist was against the kitchen counter. Audrey explained with a tingling scalp, “I went downstairs to buy some food. You haven’t eaten anything all day, which is even worse for your stomach.”
“Didn’t you want me anymore?” he took another step forward, and their toes were almost touching.

His voice, low and ho ar se, sounded particularly seductive.
Audrey's arms broke out in goosebumps as she crossed them over her chest, refusing to meet his gaze. “I can’t just stand by and do nothing, you know. | plan on studying medicine, it’s the instinct of a healer...”
She hadn't finished speaking when she heard him chuckle softly.
His tall body leaned forward, with both hands resting on the countertop beside her.
He was tall and stern, while she was slender and delicate. From a distance, she appeared to be enveloped in his embrace. Audrey smelled the refreshing scent of him after he had taken a shower. She held her breath and clenched her fists by her side, “Don't look at me like that.”
His eyes were pitch black and full of aggression.
He seemed to not hear her words, as he moved his hands, which were resting on both sides of the sink, suddenly towards the center and placed them on her waist.
Audrey didn’t have time to react, and her whole body was lifted up by him.
He carried her to the kitchen counter.
She was about to come down instinctively, but he separated her slender legs and took a step forward.
Audrey, “Sterling, did you forget what | said to you last night?”
His hand, wrapped around her waist, tightened slightly. His handsome. and s exy face leaned closer to hers, their noses almost touching. “I gave you a chance.”

Audrey didn’t understand what he meant.
“You came for the first time, and | didn’t do anything. | let you go.”
Audrey's heart rate increased slightly.
No wonder she felt he was excessively quiet at that time.
“We can still be friends before you called off the engagement,” she never said she would never have any contact with him again. Sterling chuckled softly, a hint of danger and meaning flickering in his dark eyes. “Audra, back in high school, you said we could only be friends because | hadn’t graduated yet. And now that | have, you're pulling the same stunt again.”
When he spoke, a cool and scorching breath brushed against her delicate skin, causing her cheeks and earlobes to flush.
She placed both hands on his strong and broad shoulders, trying to create some distance between them. “In high school, | gave you a chance, but you decisively left. I’m still angry about it till now, and now you have a fiancée? Do you even have any justification?”
Her pouting appearance was somewhat indescribably adorable.
The stifling feeling that Sterling had been holding since last night seemed to instantly dissipate a lot today.
He lowered his gaze and stared straight at the girl in front of him.
Today, she braided her long hair into two fishtail braids. Her face was free of makeup, and her skin was as white as a peeled egg. Her long eyelashes resembled two small brushes, and her rosy lips were naturally red. At this moment, she looked lively and had a playful beauty.

She didn’t spray antibctal perfume on herself, yet she had a taunt and refreshing fragrance

“Sterling ”
“Andra,” his deep hours voies dropped from above her head, brushing lightly agmust her heart lika feather. “next month, when ! officially assume the position as the C17 of the Howard Group | will break off my engagement with Ben”
“She is currently abroad, and | als need time to deal with this matter on my end” He was never someone who liked to explain himself to others, but in front of her be made exceptions time and time again. He had thought about not disturbing her recently, but knowing that she was in Selfolk and not being able to meet and spend time together was learing hum apart “Can you give me a trial period to see how | perform.

Audrey dared not look into his eyes anymore
| have to admit, he was really charming
Perhaps, at first she approached him with a mindset of gratitude, softening him
Unbeknownst to her, she was gradually being influenced by him.
Every time he approached her every time they were intimate, it would create a strong palpitation in her heart

So, when he wanted to break up with her in the past, she was so sad and upset!
His influence on her was not insignificant at all!
“Audra, looked up at me.
Audrey's thick, long eyelashes trembled slightly as she bit her lip and lifted her gaze to look at him.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Her forehead touched his chin.
On his usually clean-sha ven chin, there was a faint stubble. When she touched his forehead, it pri cked a little.
Audrey's lips tightened even more.
His tall and stern figure, slightly leaning towards her, exhaled a crisp and scorching breath that penetrated into her body with each breath.
“Sterling, when you speak, just speak. Can you please not get so close?”
“No more talking, let actions speak.”
Audrey slightly widened her eyes and said, “Don’t mess around... Mmm!”
He didn’t give her a chance to say anything disappointing and directly sealed her lips with precision and accuracy.
The strong and dominant male scent on him surged into her taste buds and sense of smell, overwhelming and almost devouring her.
Audrey kept hiding, not wanting to let him succeed.
But he was too dominant, the more she hid, the more he refused to let

Charge forward, the wind sweeping away the remnants of clouds.
Audrey took a deep breath, her face turning bright red.
My body unconsciously leaned backward, and it was at this moment that an accident happened.
The incident happened too suddenly, when Sterling wanted to pick up Audrey, it was already too late.
She steadied herself on the kitchen counter, her hand accidentally touching the hot pot of porridge, causing her index finger to immediately turn red.
Sterling calmly furrowed his brows and immediately carried her to the edge of the sink, turning on the faucet to rinse her reddened fingers.
Audrey was both in pain and angry.
With the other hand clenched into a fist, | forcefully smashed it onto his body.
He did not stop her actions and watched her injured finger. His narrow eyes turned slightly crimson, and his face became so gloomy that it could drip water. “Hit hard, this man deserves to die!”
Upon hearing his words, Audrey was unable to continue fighting.
She grabbed his arm and bit him hard.
