Chapter 193 Chapter 193: At that moment, her curved body pressed against his toned physique created an irresistible temptation. "What if I told you I was serious? Yvonne, you're my wife. If I don't share a bed with you, then who will?" His words plunged her heart into turmoil once again.

Also, if you sleep with me, you can't have relations with any other women. Are you prepared for that? Can you really commit?" Norton's long fingers gently lifted her chin. "Then tell me, who do you have feelings for?" In that instant, his eyes were deep, penetrating-seemingly able to read her mind. That intense gaze intimidated Yvonne.
Quickly, she retorted, "Take it easy. You are definitely not the one!" "You'd better be telling the truth." With a cold snort, Norton let go of her. The moment he walked away, Yvonne felt the tension in the kitchen dissolve, the air noticeably lighter.
In less than an hour, she had finished cooking. Since it was late, she kept it simple-two dishes and a soup. Norton's mood visibly lifted when he spotted the plate of beef on the table. He picked up his fork and took a bite. At first, his expression remained neutral, but after a few chews, his jaw stilled. His face went blank, completely void of emotion.
Yvonne's heart clenched. "What's wrong? Does it taste bad?" "Try it yourself." He speared a piece and dropped it onto her plate. The moment she took a bite, her expression froze. Only then did he finally speak, his voice laced with dry sarcasm. “Well? Doesn't it feel like you're chewing on rubber?"

Don't you know I'm a meat lover?" "There's more in the fridge. I'll make you something else." As she sliced the beef, irritation simmered inside her. Did he really need meat at every meal? Would it kill him to go without for once? Eating too much wasn't good for him! While she worked, Norton suddenly appeared beside her, as if reading her mind. "What are you grumbling about now?" "Nothing." She quickly forced a smile. "I was just thinking-you have impeccable taste." "Oh? And what makes you say that?"
"You love fleshy women, don't you? Take Shelly, for example. She's got big boops and a big butt. No wonder she caught your eye."
Norton's expression darkened, irritation flashing across his face. He knew she was mocking him.
"Then it's no wonder I have no interest in a woman likeyou-since an you don't have any curves at all."
