Chapter 761 - You Cant Sleep In Wet Clothes! (1/2)

They kissed and c.a.r.e.s.sed each other's hair and down to their backs. Nicolae never thought he would be attracted to a woman other than Aleksis. He had met countless women during his world wandering days, when he was trying to heal his broken heart, after he found out Aleksis was married to another man and was carrying his child.

So many women fell in love with him and tried to win his heart. However, Nicolae did not feel any emotional nor s.e.x.u.a.l attraction to any of them.

Maybe, Marie was a special girl. The man let his wall down, the moment her lips touched his.

When the kiss became more intense and passionate, Nicolae tried to back away and escape from Marie, but the girl suddenly shed tears and cried on his shoulder.

”Are you going to leave me too?” the girl whispered between her sobs. ”This is the worst day of my life ...”

Nicolae was stunned to hear her cry. For some reason, those words pierced his heart. He finally stayed in his place and no longer tried to distance himself from Marie.

”Marie ... I don't want to see you sad, but I have to go. I don't want to take advantage of a fragile girl. Right now, you are too depressed and sad. You have drunk enough alcohol that your common sense is not working. If you did this, you would regret it tomorrow morning.” Finally, Nicolae spoke, trying to get Marie to let him go.

”I won't regret it ...” Marie shook her head and looked up at Nicolae with adoration. ”I want to be with you...”

Nicolae tried to guess whether Marie was being honest because she was drunk, or if she was just talking nonsense. They had only been together for four days if he had counted the days when Marie suddenly join him and the kids for a meal at the restaurant at that time.

So, there was no way Marie would harbor a crush for him, right? Or ...

The man took a deep breath. Marie was the right girl at the wrong time, his heart spoke again.

He would have been able to open his heart to this attractive girl if his wounds had fully recovered. Accepting Marie's feelings for him and sleeping with her tonight will only hurt this girl in the long run because she would only be his rebound. She didn't deserve to be anyone's rebound. That's why Nicolae must insist to leave her.

”Marie ... I can't be with you.” Nicolae looked straight into those sad brown eyes. ”I already told you, I can't be with any woman right now. I just got my heart broken and I still need time to heal myself. It's gonna take a really long time. I only helped you this week by pretending to marry you for your mother's sake. Nothing more...”

Marie returned Nicolae's gaze while pursing her lips. ”You're a really kind man. You don't even want to take advantage of me when I offered myself to you. Why can't you like me? Am I ugly? Am not not good enough for you?”
