The President's Accidental Wife

Chapter 1651

After gazing at his face and watching his actions for a moment, Grace closed her eyes lightly and then opened them again. She didn't say anything and just looked at him.

Her eyes were very bright and limpid, tinged with a kind of coldness. She didn't resist or struggle, her face very calm.

The surface of a lake would ripple from time to time, but her face was like a pool of still water. It was as if time had stopped...

Charlie missed her soft rosy lips so much that he lowered his head in an attempt to kiss them, but in that very instant his eyes met hers.

And then Charlie froze and stared at her eyes, as motionless as a statue. The look in her eyes was alarmingly frigid and composed, and it seemed to be tinged with faint hate. She just looked at him with liquid eyes as if she were seeing through his eyes into the deep recesses of his soul...

Right in that instant, his body began to shiver uncontrollably. Only then did he come to himself and realize what he was doing...

His Adam's apple bobbing, Charlie braced his hands against the floor on her either side, his chest heaving in and out violently, and then he slowly removed himself from her... NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Drained of energy, he reclined against the chair behind him, his head down, a reflective look on his face.

At that moment, Grace sat up. All her clothes had been torn to pieces. She couldn't pick up any of them.

Charlie edged forward. Standing before her, he said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry."

Grace ignored him. She just sat up as if he weren't there.

Her reaction deepened Charlie's panic.

He was very afraid. The tension between the two of them had never eased, and now he had done something like this...

"I don't know. I really don't know. I don't know why I did that just now. Believe me, Grace. Please believe me!" He gripped her shoulders tightly, looking agitated.

Grace made no response. She looked around the floor in search of clothes she could wear.

"Please don't be like this. You may curse me or hit me as hard as you can. Just don't silent- treatment me. You may punish me in whatever way you want to, Grace!"

Charlie was so anxious that he felt on the verge of losing his mind.

"Maybe you don't know how scared I am. I'm scared that you might leave me, and I'm even more scared that you'll give me the silent treatment. I've never been so scared of anybody or anything since my childhood. Please don't do this to me, okay, Grace?"

Grace finally paused to look at him coldly." Charlie, have you any idea what you just did? You nearly raped me!"

Charlie lowered his eyes, not daring to make eye contact with her, his voice imbued with bitter remorse.

"Grace, although I grew up in a fatherless family, it can be said that things have been going well for me all my life. I've barely suffered any hardships or setbacks.

"I was ballsy and never frightened of anything. I became the president of the Morgan Group at the age of 18. Faced with the doubt, scorn and ridicule from my subordinates, I never cringed. I knew very well that they held grudges against me and wanted me dismissed from my position as president...

"But I also knew there was nobody I could rely on and that I had hit the point of no return. I could only go forward, so I collected my thoughts, made a stand at every step and burnt my bridges. At that time, I'd already come to find out their intentions, but I wasn't afraid at all. It was because I'd already thought of the ending beforehand.

"If I won. I'd watch over the Morgan Group; if I failed, I'd have nothing but my incompetence to blame. I have nothing to fear but you. I was wrong to do those things. I know I was wrong. I was terribly wrong.

"If you give me a second chance, I promise I won't make any of those mistakes again. You're the one I’ve been afraid of losing the most all these years. I'm frightened that you might leave me. I'm even more frightened that I might never get another chance to get through to you. That fear’s so deep. I feel like it's from the deep recesses of my mind."
