Rebirth as The Billionaire's Seventh Wife-Chapter 103: Surrender To His Charm

Aurora tried to push Alex away, but his grip was too firm for her to escape.

"Alex, let me go!" she snapped, her sharp gaze directed at him in annoyance.

When she saw his thick, curly eyelashes swinging slowly and finally his eyes staring back at her, she silently swallowed.

"Why did you hug me, Alex?" Aurora inquired, her tone rising slightly while her eyes revealed lingering annoyance. "Aren’t you the one who insisted you wouldn’t touch me? Yet here I am, trapped in your embrace."

...

Alex didn’t rush to answer her. He sighed deeply in silence before closing his eyes again.

He couldn’t sleep all night, and now he still feels drowsy, as if something is weighing down his eyelids, making it hard to open his eyes.

This little devil tortures him all night. She clings to him like a koala, hugging him as though he were her bolster.

Several times, he tried to free himself, ensure she returned to her side, and cover her with a blanket. However, after a few minutes, she returned, hugging him.

The entire night, he lost count of how often he made sure she slept in her place. However, she tested his patience, forcing him to go back and forth to the bathroom for cold showers to cool off his body heat.

What concerned him all night was that he might have expressed his needs to her without her knowing. But, of course, he didn’t want that to happen, even if he wanted to do it.

After struggling all night, he finally made peace with his mind before dawn. He trapped her in his arms and ensured she didn’t move anymore, but of course, that wasn’t a good idea. This girl aroused him every time she moved.

How funny that she is now accusing him of breaking his promise?

"Alex, you are so mean. Why are you doing—" Her words trail off when Alex speaks, interrupting her.

"If you speak again, I might surely kiss you on the lips, Aurora Spencer!"

Aurora immediately shut her mouth tight, fearing he had truly kissed her. She silently swallowed and glared at him, waiting for what he would say or do.

She didn’t dare to say anything or even move. However, even though she shut her mouth tightly, she could feel her heart beating a mile per minute.

When her patience slowly vanished, and she felt the urge to speak, she halted abruptly as Alex opened his eyes again. His embrace loosened, allowing her to move a little once more.

"Don’t accuse me of doing something I didn’t do, Aurora..." Alex’s voice sounded gentle. Seeing her frown amused him; she looked cute.

But Alex quickly diverted his thoughts to concentrate. "You are the one who breaks your promise."

"What do you mean? I’m already in your arms... isn’t it clear that you..."

Alex cut her words once more. "Can you see which side you are on?" he asked.

Aurora immediately looked around. Her body slowly turned rigid as she realized she was now on Alex’s side. Even Alex had barely enough space to sleep, and he nearly fell off the bed as she pressed him into the corner.

’This is driving me insane! How did I end up starting this?’ She feels embarrassed and wishes she could teleport back to her bedroom to hide from him.

A soft chuckle from Alex made Aurora feel her blood rush under her skin, causing her to blush instantly.

"Aurora, you kept me up all night. I hardly slept before dawn. Please let me sleep a bit longer, or I won’t be able to function today." He smiled slightly at her blushing cheeks and her embarrassed expression.

Alex briefly closed his eyes and sensed the girl still resting in the same spot without saying anything. She continued to use his arm as a pillow. And he felt even more amused.

A smile formed on his lips. However, his smile turned frosty upon sensing something move down there.

Alex cursed inwardly, ’Fuck! Again!!’

"Aurora, would you like another hug? If not, please stay still!" Alex hastily said after he felt something hard down there when her soft thigh rubbed against his skin.

Aurora was at a loss for words when a hard, hot object prodded her. Alex’s words made her flinch.

Immediately, she pulled her body away from Alex, creating a considerable distance between them while trying to avert her gaze from looking down there, but she couldn’t avoid it. She noticed something huge there, and it made her face flush red.

"I’m sorry, Alex," she said cautiously, glancing at his face. His eyes remained shut, but a wrinkle marred his forehead. She feels awful.

"I cannot accept your apology, Aurora. You need to take responsibility; you woke him!" he declared, looking for a blanket to cover his partially exposed body.

Aurora silently gulped and continued to vent her frustration in her mind. "I’m sorry..." Those are the only words that could escape her lips for now.

Alex smiled as he noticed how terrible her expression had become. Concerned she might be feeling depressed, he stopped teasing her.

"Don’t take my words seriously. I’m only trying to tease you." He pushed aside the blanket, sat on the bed with his back to her, ran his hands through his hair, and walked to the bathroom.

Alex still feels sleepy but needs to take another cold shower; otherwise, he might go crazy.

However, before opening the bathroom door, he turns to see her again and teases her once more. "But Aurora, if you want to volunteer to help me, I will gladly accept it. You can join me inside..." he says and enters the bathroom.

’What the fuck, Alexander Graystone!’ She couldn’t help but curse him.

Upon noticing the bathroom door slightly ajar, as if he wanted her to join him, her heart raced again.

’How could I possibly endure living with him for the rest of the contract if he continues to seem so irresistible?’

Aurora pressed her face into the pillow, attempting to steady her racing heart. She must escape this place quickly.

She wanted to return to their house and seek refuge in her bedroom, away from him; otherwise, she might lose her self-control and surrender to his charm.
