Chapter 311: Love’s Tender Embrace

Ryan Garcia seized Harper Clark’s wrists, holding them in midair. He looked down at her, his charming yet devilish smile playing on his lips before he forcefully kissed her.

Harper’s eyes widened in shock. Just a moment ago, Ryan was eager to kick her out of his house, and now he was kissing her!

Reacting instinctively, Harper stomped on Ryan’s foot with all her might.

"Ouch! Are you crazy?" Ryan yelped in pain.

"You’re the crazy one! Pervert!" Harper’s voice softened as she turned and stormed back to her room.

Watching her retreating figure, Ryan felt both amused and irritated. If Harper Clark was going to show up at his door, she couldn’t blame him for taking advantage.

The walls of Green Mountain Retreat weren’t very soundproof, and the late-night quiet made their spat audible throughout the house. Brianna Baker, who had witnessed the entire exchange, was delighted. Her son was finally making a move!

At the Sterling family villa, Damien Sterling carried Emma Hart into the bedroom. Instead of throwing her onto the bed, he walked straight to the bathroom.

"What are you doing?" Emma asked.

Damien just smiled without saying a word. He set her down and locked the bathroom door.

"Seeing how hard my wife has been working lately, I thought I’d give her a nice reward," Damien said mischievously. He leaned in to kiss Emma deeply, undoing the buttons of her long shirt as she succumbed to the kiss.

Emma’s mind went blank, allowing Damien to take control. He quickly shed his own clothes.

"Close your eyes," Damien instructed. Emma obediently shut her eyes.

They stood under the cascading water, passionately embracing. The cold shower gel mixed with their warm bodies, forming sudsy bubbles that slid off their skin with the water’s rhythm.

"Tonight, I’m not sleeping in the guest room," Damien whispered seductively into Emma’s ear, his warm breath sending shivers down her spine.

"Alright, tonight you have my favor," Emma replied, imitating the tone of a character from a period drama.

"Hmph, you little minx!" Damien turned off the shower. Without bothering to dry off, he carried Emma to the bed.

Everything was electrifying, making their hearts race and their faces flush. They spent the entire night wrapped up in each other’s arms, only falling asleep when the first light of dawn peeked through the bedroom windows.

After nearly a year of built-up desire, Damien Sterling finally found complete release. But less than three hours later, they were both awakened by the sound of wailing from outside the bedroom.

Emma Hart lazily got out of bed and walked out to see Mrs. Harris and a maid trying to comfort the crying twins.

"Mrs. Harris, what’s going on? Why are they crying so much?" Emma asked.

"I don’t know, ma’am. They were fine last night, but as soon as they woke up this morning, they started crying uncontrollably. Their diapers are changed, they’ve been fed, but nothing seems to calm them down," Mrs. Harris said, almost in despair.

"Let me try," Emma said as she took Joshua from Mrs. Harris. The moment she held him, he stopped crying.

"Oh! It seems they just wanted their mommy!" Mrs. Harris said with a relieved smile.

"Mommy’s here, don’t worry," Emma cooed to Joshua as she sat down in the nursery, taking Gabriel from the maid as well.

No matter how warm and comfortable the room was, it couldn’t compare to the comfort of their mother’s embrace.

Damien Sterling didn’t sleep much longer. Reluctantly leaving the cozy bed, he quickly got ready, donning a crisp suit before leaving the room.

In the living room, Emma Hart, with dark circles under her eyes, was playing with the children. Damien himself sported deep shadows under his eyes, still feeling the intensity of the previous night’s activities.

"Mr. Sterling, you’re up. Breakfast is ready. We’ve already eaten," Mrs. Harris said as she pulled out a chair for Damien and went to pour him some coffee.

"Are you going to the office today?" Emma asked.

"Yes. Missing me already? I can’t spend all day playing with you and these little rascals," Damien teased.

"I’m not a little rascal!" Emma protested, annoyed at being treated like a child.

"I’ll be back soon," Damien said, finishing his breakfast quickly. He walked over to Emma and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"We’ll be waiting for you at home! Say goodbye to Daddy!" Emma said, lifting the twins’ hands to wave at Damien.

Damien smiled, satisfied.

At Green Mountain Retreat, Brianna Baker had risen early to help the chef prepare breakfast. She thought about Ryan Garcia and Harper Clark’s flirtatious banter from the previous night, her amusement causing her to knead the dough into a messy lump without realizing it.

The enticing aroma of freshly baked goods filled Green Mountain Retreat, rousing both Ryan and Harper. Unable to sleep through the delicious smell, they got up early and headed to the main hall.

Ryan Garcia was stunned. Brianna Baker had never made so many delicious dishes for him. It must be because of Harper Clark! He thought to himself that maybe he should invite her over more often. But then he snapped back, reminding himself that he was supposed to be getting back at Harper, not allying with her.

"Auntie! You’re amazing!" Harper Clark exclaimed as she ran into the kitchen, watching Brianna skillfully handle the ingredients. Harper eagerly joined in to help.

Ryan couldn’t stand Harper’s eagerness to ingratiate herself. "Such a suck-up," he muttered under his breath.

At the dining table, Harper devoured the various pastries without reservation, much to Ryan’s shock.

"Miss Clark," Ryan said, "aren’t you a model? Eating like that, aren’t you worried about your figure?" He thought, how embarrassing it was for him as the host.

Harper felt her mood sour but hesitated only for a moment. She kicked Ryan under the table and continued eating.

"It’s alright, our Harper has such a great figure. A meal or two like this won’t make a difference," Brianna Baker encouraged Harper to continue. She thought, if Harper gained weight, it didn’t matter. If she lost her job, she could just marry Ryan and let him take care of her.

"Auntie, you understand me!" Harper said, leaning her head on Brianna’s shoulder, throwing a challenging look at the fuming Ryan.

"Keep in mood," Ryan muttered to himself.
