Cannot Bear To Let Go Of My Rich Wife

Chapter 23: Chapter 25: Stop Playing Mind Games with Me (6) Chapter 23: Chapter 25: Stop Playing Mind Games with Me (6) Speak human language with humans and ghost language with ghosts, so Isabel turned her head, gave a slow smile to Henry Maxwell, and said calmly, “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Maxwell.”

The neon lights outside the window just swept across Isabel’s face, her delicate features illuminated by the colorful lamp light, accompanied by the just-right seductive smile, looking so tempting that people would want to take a bite.

All men are the same, the more they can’t have something, the more they want it.

Especially for Henry Maxwell, Isabel was a girl he had pursued with all his heart and soul.

He could still remember that day when he confessed his love to her in front of the whole school, passionately speaking for more than ten minutes. But in the end, all he received was a casual glance from Isabel and her remark: “I’m not interested in you” as she walked away.

Although it had been many years since that incident, and they were no longer young, Henry’s heart would still occasionally be filled with a desire to conquer her when he thought back to that time.

Perhaps it was not true love, but just male nature.

But to be honest, today, when Isabel approached him for the sake of the Smith Corporation, he always felt that the emotional knot that had been buried deep in his heart for so many years was about to be untied.

Henry Maxwell gazed at Isabel’s smiling face, gathered his thoughts, and finally removed one hand from the steering wheel and placed it between their seats. “Isabel, we were once classmates in university, there’s no need for such formality, just call me Henry.”

Isabel’s face wore a proper smile, her bright eyes and white teeth shining. Her tone was neither cold nor hot, perfectly appropriate: “In business, we should be professional. After all, you and I are now in a cooperative relationship. Calling you Mr. Maxwell is out of respect for you.”

Isabel’s words were beautiful, but the tone was cold, making it clear that she was trying to establish the boundaries of their relationship. Henry Maxwell was not oblivious to this.

His eyes darkened slightly, but his face maintained a gentle and upright expression. He simply placed his hand on top of Isabel’s hand, lightly patted it twice, and said in a seemingly friendly manner: “Isabel, you’re really too polite.”

Isabel knew very well that Henry Maxwell was taking advantage of her. The roof of the car was still down, and the wind was strong, blowing her hair wildly. Isabel seized the opportunity to pretend to be unintentional, withdrew her hand from Henry’s, and naturally reached up to fix her hair. She changed the subject with a charming smile: “Mr. Maxwell, I wonder if the Maxwell Group’s cooperation case this year can still be entrusted to Smith Corporation?”

“These are all trivial matters.” Henry Maxwell attempted to flirt again, this time reaching directly for Isabel’s face, gently hooking her hair away from her cheek, and deliberately rubbing his fingers against her tender, fair skin twice.

Over the years, he had been with many women, but the touch of this woman’s skin was soft as water, and just a single touch on her face stirred up a rolling sense of desire within him. He really wanted to have his way with her right there in the car.

As Henry Maxwell thought about this, his hand began to move naughtily down Isabel’s cheek, eventually reaching her neck.

Isabel remained calm on the surface, but inwardly she felt angry. Once again, she pretended to be casual, slowly turned her body to avoid Henry Maxwell’s hand.

However, this time, Henry Maxwell was faster than her. Anticipating her movement, he reached towards the neckline of Isabel’s strapless long dress.

Through the neckline of the long dress, Henry Maxwell could vaguely see Isabel’s attractive and erect curves, causing a surge of heat to race through him. His mouth went dry and his hand, seemingly drawn irresistibly to her chest, reached out to grab it.
