Rural Belle & Three Heirs

However, Chloe couldn't take Grant's teasing anymore.

She reached out and wrapped her arms around Grant's neck. Seeing Chloe so eager in his embrace, Grant's smile widened.

Could he admit that he loved Chloe's boldness?

Grant was a man of great self-control, never letting any woman affect him. But with Chloe in his arms, he found it impossible to restrain himself.

It was a man's desire for a woman.

As his desire grew beyond his control, Grant felt a sudden panic rising within him. His heart pounded in his chest, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Desperately needing to regain his composure, he turned his head away and pushed Chloe back gently, putting some distance between them.

Chloe, however, wasn't about to let him off the hook so easily. Her eyes sparkled with a mix of determination and mischief. He had teased her repeatedly, leaving her flustered and yearning, and now it was her turn to make him feel the same way.

With that thought, Chloe boldly reached out and wrapped her arms around Grant, pulling him into a firm, unyielding embrace. The warmth of her touch and the closeness of her body sent a jolt through him, making it clear that she wasn't backing down.

She mimicked the romantic scenes from TV dramas, awkwardly and shyly kissing Grant. Her delicate hands roamed over his chest, firm abs, strong waist, and the impressive part of him that was distinctly male.

Faced with such an eager Chloe, Grant could hardly restrain himself. He turned around, swept Chloe into his arms, and then pinned her down onto the large bed in the bedroom.

Both of them were full of passion, clearly wanting to take things further. Having never been this intimate with a man before, Chloe, under Grant, seemed to melt like a pool of water, ready to engulf him completely.

Grant's mind went blank. At that moment, he felt like he could die in Chloe's arms.

Just as their kiss grew more heated and they were lost in each other, the bedroom door suddenly burst open.

Zara's voice followed immediately. "Chloe, help..."

Hearing Zara's voice, the two quickly separated, their hearts racing. When Zara took a step forward and saw them on the bed, her eyes widened in shock.

Grant and Chloe were making love? She couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Had she just interrupted something important? Her mind raced with questions.

Would Grant, with his notorious temper, kill her for this intrusion? Fear gripped her heart.

Zara wanted to flee, but her legs felt like they were filled with lead, and she refused to obey her commands.

She looked at them awkwardly, her face flushed, and stammered, "Sorry to interrupt. I'll just go. You two continue."

Zara turned to leave, her movements stiff and hesitant, but Chloe quickly pushed Grant off her and, with a determined stride, stopped Zara from leaving the room.

Given Zara's love for gossip, if she left the room, it wouldn't take half an hour for rumors about her and Grant to spread.

"Zara, don't go..." Chloe jumped off the bed and grabbed Zara.

Grant felt awkward too. He rarely lost control, and now Zara had seen it.

Since Chloe didn't want Zara to leave, Grant decided he would.

He got up from Chloe's bed, straightened his clothes, gave Zara a threatening look, and left.

Before leaving, he said to Zara, "Don't rush off tonight. Stay for dinner."

Zara suddenly felt like she was doomed.

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.com, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free!

She quickly assured Grant, "Mr. Martin, I didn't see anything."

Grant snorted, gave Zara a knowing look, and left.

After Grant left, Chloe let out a long sigh of relief.

Zara mimicked Chloe, also sighing in relief.

Zara patted her chest repeatedly, feeling like she had narrowly escaped disaster. "Oh my, he's finally gone. If he hadn't left, I think I might have made a huge mistake.

Chloe, I was wrong. From now on, I'll knock before entering your room. If I don't, Mr. Martin might kill me."

Chloe was speechless. She tried to calm herself and asked Zara, "Why are you here?" Zara was about to answer but then seemed to remember something.

She looked at Chloe in surprise and asked, "Hey, it's normal for me to come find you. I haven't asked you yet, how did you two end up together?"

Hearing this, Chloe blushed deeply, her cheeks turning a vivid shade of crimson.

The awkward heat spread from her face down to her neck, making her feel even more self-conscious.

Zara, looking gossipy and eager for details, leaned in closer and said, "Come on, tell me. How did you two end up together? Who kissed first?"

Zara seemed very interested in the details, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

As best friends who shared everything, Chloe didn't intend to hide anything from her. She felt a mix of embarrassment and excitement.

She shyly lowered her head, avoiding Zara's intense gaze, and murmured, "Grantie kissed me first."

"Mr. Martin is amazing. He confessed his feelings for you just a few days ago, and now he's kissing you. I thought he was joking, but he was serious." Zara chuckled. "Chloe, tell me, how does it feel to be kissed by Mr. Martin?"noveldrama

Zara's questioning left Chloe speechless.

She replied impatiently, "Why don't you ask Liam? You two have been getting pretty

close lately. You can try it with him."

Hearing Chloe mention Liam, Zara wanted to bang her head against the wall.

She nervously said to Chloe, "Don't mention Liam. He wants to kill me."

"What?" Chloe thought it couldn't be that serious.

"It's your fault! Chloe, why did you make me pretend to be some goddess, and now, in Liam's eyes, I'm not a goddess? I'm a lunatic. You have to explain this to Liam for me. Or I'll tell everyone about you and Mr. Grant Martin kissing and cuddling."

Zara's loose tongue infuriated Chloe.

"You wouldn't dare. If you spread rumors, Grant will kill you. Well, if I'm going to die anyway, I'll make sure to spread all the gossip I can before I go."

Chloe and Zara bickered.

At six o'clock, the house staff prepared dinner, and Grant sent someone to call Chloe and Zara downstairs.

With nervous hearts, Chloe and Zara went downstairs. In the dining room, Grant sat at the head of the table, looking as serious as the head of the family.
