Chapter 1157:
But her eyes were clouded with alcohol’s haze, her long, damp lashes fluttering like butterfly wings, silently
speaking of unspoken desires. This very look had completely bewitched him three years ago. He had showered
her with endless indulgence.
After a while, Cliff swallowed his anger. With calculated coldness, he wiped away her tears and lifted her into his
arms. “Did you eat anything tonight?”
His show of restraint only emboldened Laney further. She draped her soft arms around his neck once more, her
gaze lingering on his lips. “You look so much like Cliff, but not quite. When I kiss him, he is never this compliant

Cliff fell silent, regretting that he hadn't stopped her earlier. It would have spared him from these maddening

A shiver ran through Laney as his stubble grazed her sensitive skin. She pushed him away suddenly. “No, we
can't...”
The words snapped Cliff back to reality.
Still dazed, Laney fumbled with her clothes, shrinking from his touch and gaze. “Just lips are fine, but not there.
Even Cliff hasn't kissedthere.”
