To the Love of My Life

Chapter 835: Chapter 835 Time of Stunning Beauty: The Wedding (Finale 5)_1
 

Howard Coleman was a VIP customer at the Four Seasons Hotel, and the hotel manager, recognizing Howard upon his arrival, led him directly to the suite he usually stayed in.

Howard Coleman carried the alcohol-reeking Anita Madris into the bathroom, intending to turn on the faucet to bathe her when he suddenly seemed to remember something. He called out to the manager to arrange for a female attendant to come help Anita bathe, and then instructed the manager to prepare a set of women’s clothes for Anita.

After the female attendant helped Anita bathe and get dressed, Howard Coleman carried her out of the bathroom and placed her on the hotel bed.

By now, the heavily intoxicated Anita had fallen into a deep sleep, her face slightly red from the alcohol but her lips somewhat pale, and her eyes swollen from crying as if they were two walnuts.

Howard Coleman picked up the safflower oil and applied and massaged it on Anita’s twisted foot for a while, stood up, covered Anita with the blanket, and then looked up at her.

Howard Coleman stood by the bed for a while and then silently reached for the remote control to turn off the bedroom light, preparing to leave without a sound; however, Anita suddenly grasped his wrist.

Howard Coleman’s body jolted, he looked down, and saw the woman, who had initially closed her eyes to sleep, had now opened them, her eyes reddened as she looked at him.

The room was quite silent, and Howard Coleman didn’t move an inch.

Anita grasped Howard’s wrist a bit tighter, looked at him for a long while, then suddenly pulled on his wrist with force, pulling Howard onto her.

Howard’s entire body tensed up, and before he could regain his senses, Anita suddenly wrapped her hands around his neck, tilted her head upward slightly, and looked straight into his eyes. Her voice, roughened by the alcohol, said, “Howard, I knew it, you can’t let go of me.”

Their faces were a little too close, and as Anita spoke, Howard could clearly sense her familiar breath on his nose, causing him to involuntarily press his lips tightly together, remaining silent.

Seeing Howard’s lack of reaction, Anita blinked her long eyelashes gently and slowly closed her eyes, gradually lifting her head to kiss Howard’s lips.

Anita’s lips drew closer, and although it was a familiar sensation in his memory, Howard felt that his heart wasn’t pounding fiercely and throbbing like before. In fact, he felt his heart was calm as still water, with not the slightest ripple.

Just as Anita’s lips were about to touch Howard’s by a mere millimeter, Howard abruptly turned his head away.

Anita’s lips missed theirs target, her expression pausing for a second before she opened her eyes, looking at Howard in surprise.

Howard did not look at Anita. His brows moved slightly, and then he extended his hand, decisively yanking away Anita’s arm, “It’s late, you’ve had quite a bit to drink, you should get some rest.”

With that, Howard stood up.

Anita reached out again, grabbed Howard’s arm, and the tone of her voice, as coquettish as ever, said, “Howard, I want you to stay with me.”

The implication of her words couldn’t be more blatant. Howard clenched his hand into a fist, swallowed hard twice, and said, “Anita, I’m married.”
