Jasmine’s kiss took Charliepletely by surprise, leaving him in a state of shock. The thought that she would ever kiss him had never crossed his mind.


    Truth be told, even though he was the young master of the Wade family and held the esteemed title of Master Wade in Aurous Hill, Charlie had little experience with women.


    Until now, the closest he hade to intimacy was a fleeting kiss with his wife, ire, which was nothing more than a gentle peck on the lips.


    In stark contrast, Jasmine’s kiss was far more passionate, filled with a tenderness that he could genuinely feel and appreciate.


    Charlie felt a wave of panic as he grappled with how to respond.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Perhaps it was due to the awkwardness of her position, having leaned over to straddle the center console to kiss him, that Jasmine couldn’t maintain her posture. She sank back into the driver’s seat, her face flushed a deep red, as if blood might drip from it at any moment.<fnec13> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? </fnec13>


    Even her ears, hidden beneath her silky hair, were blushing.


    Jasmine couldn’t bring herself to meet Charlie’s gaze. Instead, she fixated on the steering wheel, her nerves getting the best of her.


    Charlie felt equally uneasy.


    For a moment, an awkward silence enveloped the car.


    Jasmine was the first to shatter the stillness. In a soft, hesitant voice, she said, “Master Wade, I’m really sorry. I got carried away with excitement. Please forgive me if I’ve upset you…”


    Charlie cleared his throat, his voice thick with awkwardness as he replied, “Um… Jasmine… I…”


    He hesitated, unsure of how to proceed.


    He didn’t want to hurt Jasmine’s feelings.


    Yet, he couldn’t ignore the reality of his situation.


    With a heavy sigh, he admitted, “Jasmine, I’m married, and you know that…”


    Jasmine nodded earnestly, her voice still tinged with nervousness. “Yes, I’ve heard about you and your wife.”


    Gathering her courage, she turned to look Charlie in the eyes and dered with utmost seriousness, “Master Wade, I truly like you. I want to be with you. I understand that you’re married and that what I did was wrong, but I feelpelled to pursue my feelings. I believe everyone deserves the chance to seek their true love, and I’m no exception…”


    Charlie sighed, feeling regret. “Jasmine, you’re a wonderful person, but I am married, and that’s the reality.”


    Jasmine, however, responded with a hint of stubbornness, “Master Wade, I’ve heard that even though you and your wife have been married for over three years, you haven’t consummated the marriage, and that it was arranged by her grandfather. Three years, Master Wade! Why cling to a marriage without intimacy for so long?”


    Her emotions began to surface, her eyes glistening with tears. “From the moment we met, I felt a sense of sympathy for you. Everyone in Aurous Hill sees you as a remarkable figure, a true dragon among ordinary people. But I don’t understand—given your capabilities, why would you marry into the Wilson family and live as a lowly son-inw in an unfulfilled marriage?”


    Charlie offered a bittersweet smile. “ire has always been kind to me. How could I abandon her simply because I have certain abilities?”


    Upon hearing this, Jasmine’s tears began to flow freely down her cheeks. “Whatever your wife can offer you, I believe I can provide that too—and even the things she cannot give you…”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
