She'll Come Back to My Side

At this moment, Claire Bennett's nerves had completely collapsed, and her consciousness was no longer clear.

Seeing the abnormal flush on Claire Bennett's cheeks, how could Julian Sterling not know what had happened to her?

Julian Sterling's face darkened heavily, anger surfacing in his eyes. He returned to the driver's seat, and after sitting down, took out his phone and called Victor Wells. "Naomi Pierce is suspected of intentional assault. Handle it and have her arrested."

After a brief pause, a chilling coldness spilled from Julian Sterling's eyes, and he added, "Ethan Sterling is an accomplice."

After saying that, he hung up, then put away his phone, started the car, and drove off.

The two of them quickly returned to Parkview Heights.

Julian Sterling hauled Claire Bennett into the bathroom and turned on the faucet, rinsing her down with water.

Although there was a faster way to deal with Claire Bennett's abnormal condition, Julian Sterling didn't use it.

The last time, that was how he had helped Claire Bennett get rid of the drug's effects, and afterward it had left her with psychological trauma. Even now, Claire Bennett was still extremely resistant to him. He couldn't hurt Claire Bennett again and make their relationship even worse.

With the cold water pouring down over her head, Claire Bennett recovered quite a bit of awareness.

When she saw the familiar handsome face before her, and remembered what had happened just before she fainted, her eyes quickly reddened.

"Julian Sterling..."

Thank goodness he had come just now. When Ethan Sterling had tried to forcibly take her away, her heart had been filled with nothing but despair.

Perhaps it came from the fear deep in her heart, or perhaps because she didn't want to lose herself again.

Claire Bennett started crying, looking utterly heartbroken.

Julian Sterling's brows knit tightly. He crouched down and looked at Claire Bennett as he asked worriedly, "How are you? Do you still feel awful? Should I call a doctor to come take a look at you?"

Claire Bennett thought of what had happened when she woke up at Kinley Estate before.

That helpless bewilderment of having lost everything, and the guilty feeling that she had wronged Julian Sterling.

What she had seen as a child between Victor Bennett and her stepmother had always been a shadow in her heart. Later, after more contact with Julian Sterling, she had become less resistant to being approached by men.

But what had happened at Kinley Estate was like being thrown back into the same state she had been in before.

She was about to be driven insane by this feeling!

During this period, every time she got close to Julian Sterling, she suffered terribly and was in immense pain. She had always wanted to tell him about this, and had even set a time to come clean.

But the more afraid she was of losing him, the more uneasy she became.

Suddenly, a determined courage welled up in Claire Bennett's heart. She decided to tell Julian Sterling now, taking advantage of the situation. Even if he chose to leave after finding out, it wouldn't matter.

But before telling him, there was one thing she wanted to do.

Following her heart, Claire Bennett suddenly reached out, looped her arms around Julian Sterling's neck, pulled him down, and then offered up her red lips, kissing his thin lips.

Julian Sterling froze for a moment, not expecting Claire Bennett to take the initiative to kiss him.

He thought to himself that it had to be a reaction to the drug, not how she normally was.

He responded passively to Claire Bennett, reaching out to support her slender waist.

After breaking free of her psychological restraints, Claire Bennett felt completely relaxed. Right now, she felt that the decision she had made was absolutely the right one.

She wanted to be close to Julian Sterling. She wanted to be with him.

After that, their kissing grew more and more intense, and Julian Sterling was already starting to lose control.

He reached out and scooped Claire Bennett up in one motion. After carrying her back to the bedroom, he threw Claire Bennett onto the bed. Her soaking wet clothes left the sheets in a complete mess.

Claire Bennett looked at Julian Sterling with bright, watery eyes. They were full of yearning for him, making him unable to resist wanting to devour her whole and possess her fiercely.

After all, he was a man who had already had sex before. With such beauty right in front of him, how could he possibly remain unmoved?

Julian Sterling covered her body with his as he moved forward, pressing himself between Claire Bennett's legs. Then he stared at her and asked in a coaxing tone, "Claire, should we try again?"

Claire Bennett might not necessarily be fully conscious right now. Asking her that was undoubtedly a bit of taking advantage.

But rather than waiting for Claire Bennett to slowly adapt, it was better to take advantage of an opportunity like this.

Julian Sterling stared at Claire Bennett without blinking and said in a low, husky voice, "Should we?"

Claire Bennett nodded and murmured hazily, "Mm..."

She wanted Julian Sterling. She wanted to be with him forever.

Seeing Claire Bennett nod in agreement, Julian Sterling no longer cared whether she was conscious right now. He had not the slightest self-control when it came to this woman.

Julian Sterling's eyes suddenly deepened, and his voice turned hoarse too. "I'll be gentler."

As soon as the words fell, his kiss followed, landing softly on her lips.

In truth, Claire Bennett was not completely unconscious right now either. Although her whole body was weak and her mind was sluggish and muddled, she was very clear on what she was doing, and she didn't regret what she was about to do.

If they really did have to separate, then at least she would have once shared beautiful memories with Julian Sterling.

Instead of having nothing but the shadow of that scumbag Ethan Sterling.

Claire Bennett softly moaned the man's name: "Julian Sterling... hubby..."

Before long, the room was filled with intimate heat, and the two of them no longer had any reservations, completely giving themselves to each other.
