?Chapter 453:


    Kaiden had expressed a desire to engage in intimate activities in the bathroom, appreciating the freshness and excitement of the location.


    However, Ellie’s impromptu p had interrupted his intentions.


    Kaiden sighed, his frustration evident as he adjusted his cor. The top button of his shirt fell to the floor, producing a sound as itnded.


    Growing impatient, Kaiden couldn’t endure the silence any longer.


    “Say something, Ellie,” he urged.


    “Sorry, I was in a bad mood,” Ellie muttered. Her mind was in a mess, and she hastily exited the bathroom.


    Her steps were disorganized, leading to a collision with the doorway, causing her to almost fall.


    Fortunately, Kaiden swiftly caught her before she hit the floor.


    “Can’t you be a little more careful?” His anger escted further. As Kaiden touched Ellie, she subconsciously uttered, “Kaiden, I don’t want to do it tonight.”


    “But I want you,” Kaiden said with a straight face.


    Ellie could sense his excitement wasn’t fading.


    “Then you go find someone else.” Feeling dejected, Ellie pushed him away, dering, “Many women are willing to give their bodies to you, Mr. Thorpe.”


    For instance, Carole was one of those women.


    Kaiden, despite his towering rage, maintained a seemingly calm exterior.


    Watching Ellie leave the bathroom, he abruptly followed her. Ellie’s wrist was suddenly grabbed, and Kaiden, with his height and long legs, swiftly pulled her along with force.


    Ellie struggled to keep up and was almost dragged away. The movement made her tremble involuntarily.


    Confused, she questioned, “Kaiden, what are you doing? Ah!”


    Subsequently, Ellie found herself thrown onto the bed. She could sense his anger.


    g?lnσν????s?c?m fuels your imagination


    Kaiden, with a mixture of frustration and disbelief, stated, “Ellie, you want me to be loyal to marriage, but you ask me to find another woman? Huh?”


    Laughing in anger, he dropped to one knee on the bed, pinching her chin and gritting his teeth.


    Mockingly, he remarked, “Mrs. Thorpe, that’s so big of you.”


    “No, it’s not what you think. It’s just exhaustion weighing me down, Kaiden,” Ellie said bitterly.


    She had maintained her defenses and countered when confronting Carole. However, these actions now seemed insignificant. What she was trying to do seemed like a joke. It appeared to be her hopeful imagination.


    “Kaiden, I genuinely appreciate you standing up for me tonight, but… That’s not what I desire. I want something more.” Ellie sighed.


    She had grown covetous. What she craved was Kaiden’s love, not merely the respect and rights owed to her as Mrs. Thorpe.


    Ellie hesitated to confess, but in this moment, she had to confront her own feelings. She disliked Carole, not due to her marriage expectations but because of what she demanded from Kaiden.
