Contracted Bride Is Trapped By Her Husband

Chapter 188 A Trick Played By Luke

Jocelyn carefully looked around. Realizing that it was still bright outside and that ghosts wouldn’t come out at this time of the day, she slowly heaved a sigh of relief. As if all the bones in her body had been removed, she collapsed into Aren’s arms.

The lingering fear made Jocelyn break out in cold sweat. Her face was especially pale, and her hands and feet were cold.

Aren, who was holding her, was like a heater. The warmth of his body made Jocelyn feel comfortable, making her not want to leave it.

Only then did Jocelyn notice the pain in her throat and the taste of blood in her mouth.

The pain was like having his throat scratched by fingernails and salt sprinkled on her wound, making Jocelyn frown uncomfortably.

She coughed in discomfort. The vibrating vocal cords made Jocelyn feel as if the original wound had been torn open again, and the wound suffered a second blow.

At this moment, Jocelyn was like a little kitten that had been hurt. She was listless and motionless in Aren’s arms.

Although Aren could not see the expression on Jocelyn’s face at this moment, he could tell she was in pain.

At the thought that he didn’t tell Jocelyn on purpose about the person in the trunk, Aren felt guilty and regretful.

He adjusted his sitting position so that Jocelyn, who was still sitting in his arms, suddenly moved with him. Before Jocelyn could react, Aren reached out and grabbed her chin, and their eyes met.

“Why do you look so sad? Are you not feeling well?”

It was supposed to be a word of concern, but Aren frowned and looked serious, making him look like a picky businessman who was unhappy with his goods.

to escape the fate of meeting Aren’s eyes.

At this moment, she realized that she was actually in Aren’s arms!

No wonder Aren looked at her with such a solemn face.

Thinking that she had found the reason, Jocelyn pushed herself up. She wanted to get out of Aren’s arms and sit on the other side.

However, just as her hips left Aren’s legs, Luke suddenly braked, forcing Jocelyn to sit back down.

She fell into Aren’s arms again, and her lips brushed past his Adam’s apple.

To a man, Adam’s apple was the weakest and most vulnerable part of the body. At the same time, it was also a sensitive place. A gentle kiss was enough to heat up Aren’s body.

Aren gulped. The movement of his Adam’s apple made Jocelyn realize what a stupid thing she had just done. She wanted to apologize, but at this moment, she had no voice. The pain made her shut up, and all she could do was look at Aren apologetically.

Aren did not look at Jocelyn. Instead, he glanced at Luke and met his eyes in the rearview mirror.

As his assistant, Luke was never supposed to brake like this, so he must have done it on purpose.

Not only was Aren not angry, he even planned to give Luke a salary raise.

Luke quickly withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes.

“I’m sorry, sir. A car suddenly came out from the corner, so I had to brake immediately.”

Luke spoke matter of factly. It was as if a car had really come out from the corner, and not because he braked to make Jocelyn fall back into Aren.s arms.

“It’s alright, keep going.”

Luke finally felt relieved that Aren didn’t blame him or expose his trick.

Jocelyn, who was immersed in her own thoughts, did not notice the eye contact between Luke and Aren.

At this moment, Jocelyn was pursing her lips tightly, preparing to move her body away from Aren again. But before she could do anything, a large hand suddenly landed on her waist.

“Don’t move.”

“The car is still driving. If you move, you’ll only hurt yourself.”

“Sit tight. We’ll be home soon.”

The large hand that was like a burning iron on her waist made Jocelyn’s face hot.
