?Chapter 124:


    Marc and Terry had their suspicions about whether Marissa was the chief instructor from Doomsday Base, but they couldn’t voice their thoughts just yet, so they remained silent for the time being. Connor looked at Marissa, who was still fussing over the ugly bowknot, and said with a smile, “Then I’ll take your advice and not bring in that chief instructor.”


    Marc instinctively questioned, “But without the chief instructor, who will stop ck Snake from making an assassination attempt?”


    Connor responded, “Didn’t you mention that Lone Wolf could match ck Snake? Then let’s recruit Lone Wolf.”


    Upon hearing this, Marissa spun around to face Connor with a look of astonishment. “You can reach Lone Wolf?”

    “Yes,” Connor nodded slightly. “Lone Wolf just got in touch with me, warning that ck Snake ns to assassinate me. He offered his services for a hefty fee. I was initially considering ck Mallow, so I hadn’t given him an answer. Now I can.”


    Marissa thought to herself that Lone Wolf was truly untrustworthy. Despite agreeing to team up with her to eliminate Amiri, Lone Wolf had offered to protect her target and had the nerve to ask her if she was out of her mind from being short on money. Wasn’t he out of his mind too? She had once thought Lone Wolf was a man of integrity, but now it seemed he was just as greedy


    Internally fuming at Lone Wolf, Marissa suddenly couldn’t suppress a yawn. She hadn’t slept for three days straight. Now, sitting next to Connor and inhaling his scent, she felt overwhelmingly drowsy andcked the energy to inquire about something important. Connor quickly caught on and asked Marissa, “Would you prefer to go back to my house or to a hotel?”


    “Hotel,” Marissa responded


    The mood in the car took a romantic turn. The casual manner in which they spoke about getting a room made Domenic’s, Marc’s, and Terry’s ears burn


    Oblivious to the thoughts of the others, Marissa was so tired that she simply leaned into Connor’s arms. Domenic, Marc, and Terry were all taken aback. Why was she in such a rush?


    She couldn’t even wait for the car to reach the hotel. No one else spoke up. Domenic immediately started the car and headed to the Pce Hotel


    Marc and Terry sat up straight, lost in their own thoughts. After nestling into Connor’s arms, Marissa turned her head, adopted a cozy position, and closed her eyes. Connor naturally held her tight to keep her from slipping


    Looking down at her, Connor noticed a subtle fragrance in the air. Her slight figure rose and fell gently with each breath, and she nestled against him as softly as a kitten. He suddenly felt that it wouldn’t be so bad if moments like thissted forever


    When they reached the Pce Hotel, Marissa was already deeply asleep. Connor carefully lifted her from the car, took the VIP elevator up to his private presidential suite on the top floor, and softlyid her on the bed


    It was the same room and the same bed, but his feelings werepletely different. Last time, he wasn’t sure if Riss was the vige girl, so he had been somewhat cautious. This time, knowing exactly who was in his arms, he found himself not wanting to let her go. Clearly, she hadn’t nned to sleep next to him tonight. She had just sat beside him and suddenly felt sleepy. Her change of ns was spontaneous, so she was unprepared. She hadn’t put on a face mask or worn any protection


    When he picked her up, he noticed how soft her body was, which led him to daydream. No man could remain unaffected while holding the woman he cared for. Connor was no exception. Marissa was his wife. He didn’t see it as breaking any moral or legal boundaries to be intimate with her. His body grew hotter and hotter as these thoughts ran uncontrobly through his mind. Eventually, he couldn’t resist anymore and deeply kissed her lips, his hand gently slipping under the hem of her clothing
