Chapter 8 An Unexpected Kiss

• Joyce Albert, who was seated, felt a sense of vulnerability as if she was only wearing undergarments.
• However, due to Aaron's arrogance, he could only place his hands on either side of his body. Fortunately, he had the foresight to wear shorts underneath his short skirt.
• Aaron is highly focused and efficient in his work, with the dexterity of a skilled painter. He approached Joyce face with utmost dedication, treating it as a masterpiece.
• After approximately an hour, Aaron applied a touch of blush to Joyce's face and then ceased his movements, stating, "Alright, we're done."
• He then led Joyce in front of the wall mirror to allow her to see the result.
• As she gazed at her reflection, Joyce felt a sense of extraordinariness. She had already been pleased with the improvement in her skin, but now, with the stylish makeup and revealing outfit, she could only describe herself as a vision of perfection.
• "Oh my, have I mistaken the mirror?" Joyce questioned, seeking confirmation from Aaron.
• Aaron's gaze served as the answer to Joyce's query.
• "I happen to have some free time today. Take a moment to consider what you'd like to treat me to. With your current appearance, I'm prepared to take you out for a stroll," Aaron suggested.
• Joyce, still admiring her reflection, immediately agreed upon hearing Aaron's words. However, she then expressed some doubt, asking, "In the past, whenever you visited, you were always in a hurry. Don't you need to apply makeup for Madison Chris today?"
• "No, she has already completed all the necessary tasks for today," Aaron replied.
• Joyce initially intended to inquire further, but upon recalling the text message she had seen on Wilson Zoha's phone, she suddenly understood the reason. The discomfort she had previously ignored resurfaced in her heart.
• Madison must be seeking out Wilson because she is carrying his child.
• "It's already five o'clock, nearly time for dinner. Let's go for a walk. I'll select some additional clothes for you," Aaron said, glancing at his watch before retrieving his toolbox.
• Joyce no longer dwelled on any concerns and left the house with Aaron.
• The dinner was highly enjoyable, despite the considerable expense for Joyce.
• However, as they made their way, she noticed the curious gazes from all directions. In an instant, she felt like the center of attention, a sensation she had never experienced before. Evidently, this was the confidence that accompanied a beautiful woman stepping out into the world.
• After bidding farewell to Aaron, she returned home alone.
• By this time, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, yet the house remained dark, indicating that Wilson had not yet returned.
• Suddenly, Joyce felt an unfamiliar sense of loss in her heart. She couldn't explain why, but she suddenly desired for Wilson to see her transformed appearance. She wondered what his reaction would be upon seeing her now.
• She deliberately lingered in her room for a while, finally entering the bathroom at ten o'clock in the evening. Aaron had emphasized the importance of removing makeup before bed. Cleansing was the primary key to maintaining healthy skin.
• Following Aaron's instructions, Joyce removed her makeup meticulously, then undressed and settled into the bathtub.
• In this moment of relaxation, Joyce mind became chaotic. Memories of her past with Dicky flashed through her mind. She had always been the one making sacrifices, while this man seemed to never do anything for her.
• Then there was Alicia, who always portrayed herself as a pitiable white lotus. Little did she expect that Alicia would turn out to be the cruelest person.
• She had been completely blind!
• The more Joyce reminisced, the more confused her heart became. She no longer wished to dwell on these thoughts and submerged her head completely under the water. Growing up near the beach, she was adept at surviving in water and had no problem staying submerged for extended periods.
• At that moment, the front door of the house swung open from the outside. Wilson entered the house, fatigued and with a slightly dizzy head. He had intended to return home early, but urgent matters had delayed him. He had also consumed a few glasses of beer.
• His mind was still somewhat hazy.
• He made his way to the sofa, removing his blazer, which carried the scent of alcohol, before heading towards the bathroom, unbuttoning his shirt as he went.
• The bathroom door was unlocked. Due to his clouded mind, Wilson failed to ascertain whether anyone was inside. He promptly undressed and entered the bathtub, loosening his belt and removing his trousers, exposing his muscular legs.
• Joyce, immersed in the bath, remained oblivious to the sounds outside. As she prepared to lift her head from the water, something brushed against her feet, followed by a sudden weight pressing down on her.
• Reacting swiftly, she emerged from the water and let out a scream upon witnessing the situation.
• At that moment, Wilson was seated on her naked body, their positions intertwined in a highly ambiguous manner.
• "Ah! You, you, you, you bastard! Get off!" Joyce forcefully pushed the person who had fallen onto her, her expression filled with anger.
• She had never been so intimately close to any man in her life, including Dicky. She firmly believed that sexual intimacy should only occur within the confines of marriage, and Dicky had never pressed the matter or made her uncomfortable.
• Wilson dazed mind finally snapped back to reality upon hearing Joyce scream. He looked at the woman beneath him in surprise and asked, "Joyce? What are you doing here?"
• "Of course, I'm taking a shower here! You idiot, get out!" Joyce gritted her teeth, her palms still pressed against the man's chest. The sensation of her fingers against his skin caused a panic she had never experienced before.
• To be honest, Wilson possessed an impressive physique, strong and flawless, with perfect contours and a hint of a defined abdomen that made him appear flushed.
• However, Joyce quickly dismissed these inexplicable thoughts and resumed her attempts to push the man away. Yet, the more forceful her efforts, the more counterproductive they became.
• Unprepared and aided by the shower gel applied by Joyce, Wilson body became slippery. Her attempts to push him only brought them closer together.
• The position of the two became even more intimate than before, with Wilson now facing Joyce. There was no space between their bodies, and their faces were mere inches apart.
• The scent of shower gel enveloped Joyce body, creating a mist of water in the air. All of it wafted towards Wilson nose, causing his heart to waver.
• Whether it was a result of a man's physical instincts or the influence of alcohol, Wilson found the woman before him, cheeks flushed, incredibly alluring. She looked different yet the same, with clear and bright eyes that tempted him to cross boundaries.
• Without a second thought, Wilson leaned in and kissed the woman's rosy lips.
