My Rich Hot and Infertile or Maybe Not Husband

Chapter 1047

She was just about to sneak away. But Liam was having none of it. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he hoisted her up and plonked her down on the bathroom counter.

The mist from the shower fogged up the mirror behind Celeste. Liam’s hand rested on the mirror as he looked at her with his lashes lowered.

Sitting across from him, Celeste tried to avoid his intense gaze by looking down. But the sight of his bare body made her quickly look up again. Her eyes darted around the room, unsure of where to look.

Liam chuckled softly, leaning in close to tease her. His lips were so close to her face, they were almost touching.

Her ears turned red. She pushed against his chest, trying to get down from the counter. Only for him to suddenly lean in, trapping her between the mirror and him.

He was completely naked. Water droplets falling from his hair, running down his cheek, chin, collarbone, and then rolling down his muscular body. The close–up view made Celeste’s mouth dry.

Her mind was a mess, and she didn’t know where to look.

Liam suddenly pinched her bottom. Celeste, unprepared, let out a yelp. Liam didn’t use much force, but the pinch was embarrassing. Celeste’s face turned red up to her ears. Covering the pinched area, she glared at him, “What the hell?”

Liam bit her lip as if to punish her, but it wasn’t hard. It was a slight pain that quickly turned into a kiss. He said, “We haven’t settled the matter of you two pretending to be a couple.”

Celeste asked, “Isn’t that a thing of the past?”

Liam looked down, confidently saying. “But my compensation hasn’t arrived yet.”

Celeste asked, “What do you want?” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Liam leaned in close to her ear and whispered something. Celeste’s eyes widened, then her ears and neck turned red. She snapped, “That’s something from the film crew. How could I get it for you? Quit daydreaming.

Liam said, “Everything can be bought with money.”

Celeste refused to back down, “If you want to make a call, you call Zach. I care about my dignity, I can’t make that request.”

Liam calmly said, “I can call, but are you sure that if I do, he won’t think more of it?”

Celeste hesitated for a while, but in the end, she called Zach. Zach had just taken a shower and was reading a script when he got her call.

He picked up immediately.

“Hello, Mr. Miller, it’s me.” Celeste sounded a bit nervous, but Zach didn’t notice. Instead, he joked, “Not yet a big star, and you already can’t sleep

from excitement?”

Celeste laughed. “You’re so funny.”

Zach shrugged, leaning back on the couch, cheerfully asking, “What’s up?”

Celeste said, “Nothing much. Do you still have that dress I wore in the film?”

“Should be in the hands of the costume department. Why?” Zack asked.

Celeste hummed a response, then hesitated, “That dress. Would the film crew sell it? I want to buy it as a keepsake.”

Zach paused, “That dress is worth tens of thousands of dollars. How much are you paid? Spending that much money on a piece of decoration, have you lost your mind?”

Celeste laughed, saying, “Forget I asked. Liam, give me back my phone!”

There was a commotion on the other end of the line, then a deep male voice said, “100,000 dollars. If that’s okay, I send someone to pick it up right now.”

Celeste was trying to snatch the phone back and cursing at the same time, “Liam, you idiot. Are you just burning money?”

Zach was taken aback, then quickly said, “Deal“.

Half an hour later, the dress appeared at Pinecrest Manor.

The two of them stood in front of the dress for a good half minute. Celeste was about to run away when Liam wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her into his arms.

He rested his chin on her shoulder, whispering, “Ms. Campbell, time to change.”

Celeste gritted her teeth, “If you bring this up again, you’re really shameless!”

Liam smiled softly, whispering, “As you wish.”

Celeste grabbed the dress and was about to go upstairs when Liam called her back, “Change right here.”

Celeste was taken aback.

Liam sat on the couch with his legs crossed, elbow on the armrest, looking at her with appreciation. He had just taken a shower. But instead of pajamas, he was wearing trousers and a shirt.

While waiting for the dress, he even combed his hair. Now, he looked every bit the cool and collected businessman.

Facing this Liam, Celeste’s heartbeat unconsciously quickened. But she didn’t lose her sanity, firmly rejecting Liam’s request, “You’re going too far.”

Liam slowly said, “Isn’t the method of compensation supposed to be determined by the person being compensated? If you can’t do it, then what’s the point of compensation?”

Celeste gritted her teeth, “Haven’t you seen me change before?”

Liam was very direct, “I haven’t seen you change into a dress.”
