Chapter 1456: Chapter 1456 Not Healed_1

Chapter 1456

His gaze was quiet, then suddenly, he laughed: "Since you’re already unwilling, it doesn’t matter if I turn things up a notch."

He lowered his head and kissed her.

Layla Lowell was taken aback, with her head throbbing. She failed to push him away, she bit him instead. The moment she opened her mouth gave him the opportunity to deepen the kiss.

Suddenly, she remembered how, years ago, he had tricked her into his arms in much the same way, taking control with just a single kiss.

She had often wondered if he had truly liked her, or merely categorized her with the other girls circling around him, toying with her casually.

Even when she heard him confess his love, she felt dazed and unreal.

At this moment, it was a similar kiss that left her in a daze.

Charles Carrington was right. She was too naive. People could easily plot against her. Not just the female assistant, but him, the cunning fox, as well.

This kiss was not an end but a beginning.

Inside the office on the brilliant night, the heat waves rolled, wave after wave of warmth enveloped her...

Layla Lowell didn’t regret it.

At the end, she even casually said: "Just in time, I need to satisfy a physical need too. This is your tip."

Several banknotes floated past him, causing his jawline to tighten slightly.

He pulled the woman back to him: "Don’t be stubborn, okay? You need a husband, and Dawn needs a father."

She laughed: "I need a husband? Am I short of money, or am I lacking warmth? What would I need a husband for?"

He showed an unusually good temper today, kissed her, and said: "You need love."

"I’m lacking love? Aren’t you overconfident? Love is the most useless thing in the world. It’s much better without it."

"Hmm, your mouth is always so sharp, but your heart is softer than anyone else’s. How can I not worry about you?" He turned to her, looking down at her.

Layla Lowell’s gaze flickered slightly, and she didn’t dare meet his scrutinizing eyes.

She steadied her breath slightly and said: "I need to take a day off tomorrow. The exams are coming up, I need to revise."

The topic was successfully shifted.

He smiled: "Okay, granted."

Layla Lowell felt restless deep down. Was this man plotting something against her?

The next day, Capitol.

Chloe Collins got up early. She had a packed schedule today, starting with registering at Capitol University to complete the last bit of her studies. She had almost graduated a few years ago, but stumbled during her last few months. Alexander Foster had her on academic leave for the past two years, and now they were processing the paperwork.

On the other hand, Shane Rocker has been urging her to return to the laboratory.

Apart from that, she also needed to visit LM.

Alexander Foster was even busier. His company was in a recovery period that demanded diligent work.

The two set out together, each heading their separate ways.

Just as she walked through the main gate of Capitol University, Chloe Collins received a phone call from Albert Green.

"Chlo-Chlo, there’s been a big change in your genetic structure. This could pose some potential risks. Paying attention in your daily life is essential. If you feel anything unusual, you must tell me immediately."

She slowed down her steps: "Did you find anything?"

At this moment, even her breath was strained.

Albert Green was silent for a few seconds. He didn’t explain clearly, only repeated: "We’re still observing your case. This is the first of its kind. Even Laura Crawford can’t say. None of the previous experiment subjects were in your situation. Your body’s peculiarity is that it seems invincible, but it may have a fatal flaw, and we currently do not know what this is. It remains to be observed."

Chloe Collins’s eyebrows creased slightly: "So, I haven’t healed yet."
