Billionaire's Stubborn Slave Wife

Chapter 4: Interrupted Intimacy

At 7 p.m., Lauren arrived at the banquet on time, wearing a white strapless evening gown, revealing

her sexy collarbones and a high-cut design, exposing her long, slender legs.

Lauren kept looking at the diamond-set watch on her wrist. The party had already started, but Matthew

hadn't shown up yet. This made Lauren very anxious because she knew that Ito, the client, hated

people who were not on time.

Just as she was about to go in alone, a sports car pulled up in front of Lauren at a very fast speed.

Faced with such a speed, Lauren's face did not change, still wearing a smile that fascinates men.

"Lauren, long time no see, several years no see, you still beautiful and make men fascinated."

This voice made Lauren, who had a calm face, shivered. Why? Why did this woman appear here?

Lauren forced herself to look up, although prepared, when she saw Matthew and Jennifer Gu standing

in front of her, she still subconsciously took several steps backward. The things that had happened to

make her suffer were all coming back to her mind at this moment.

"Lauren, are you okay?" Seeing Lauren's reaction, Jennifer pretended to be concerned about her. She

walked towards Lauren from Matthew's arms and then reached out to touch Lauren's face.

"Ah!"

Faced with Jennifer's hands suddenly reaching out, Lauren's face paled in fear and she took several

steps backward. Such an abnormal reaction made Matthew, who had been paying attention to her,

suspicious.

"Are you okay?"

Matthew walked towards Lauren, then took her hand, only to find that her hand was very cold. He felt a

little guilty, if he hadn't been late, maybe she wouldn't be so cold now.

Seeing Matthew's concern for Lauren, Jennifer's heart was filled with resentment, but she still had a

charming smile on her face. She took an elegant step and came to Matthew's front. With her hands on

Matthew's arms, she naturally pushed Lauren away.

"Matthew, let's go inside. The party has already started, and my dad will be anxious if we're too late."

Matthew nodded, wrapped his arm around Jennifer's slender waist, and walked into the banquet hall.

Lauren watched their departing backs and she let out a soft sigh before trying to follow them in, but

suddenly she felt a wave of vertigo. She thought it might be because she had been standing outside for

too long and her body was a little overwhelmed.

She was afraid that she would suddenly faint in the banquet hall, so she rested outside for a while, and

only after she felt her body was stable did she walk towards the hall, but she overestimated her body's

ability to withstand it.

Lauren closed her eyes and waited for the pain of the fall, knowing that, in her condition, she would RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

surely fall to the ground.

But the pain of falling to the ground did not occur. She opened her eyes and found that she was being

held tightly in the arms of a man. The smell of the man's nice cologne gave her a very familiar feeling.

"Lauren, is this your meeting gift for me? If so, it would be a surprise to me."

"Joshua! how come it's you?" Her clear eyes were filled with joy. The excited Lauren did not notice that

this intimate pose of theirs was captured by a camera in the corner.

"Lauren, three years are up, of course I'm here. I was planning to look for you in a few days, but I didn't

expect to meet you at the banquet today, that's probably fate. Are you here for the party too? Where is

your partner?"

Joshua Leng, the heir of Leng's enterprise, a successful and gentlemanly man, he is on par with

Matthew, the two diamond bachelors of high society.

Lauren sighed, she didn't want Joshua to know that her male companion had gone in first with his arm

around another woman.

Joshua saw that Lauren did not want to talk about it, he did not press the issue.

"That is, since the beautiful Miss Li's male companion is not here, I wonder if I, a good friend for many

years, would have this honor to be your male companion for a while?"

Joshua made an inviting gesture. The exaggerated action made Lauren, who had been in a low mood,

raise a smile on her face. She gently placed her hand in Joshua's and walked into the venue. Their

beautiful faces made them attract the attention of many people.

Lauren, who had just walked into the venue, saw the figures of Matthew and Jennifer. The man's

handsome side and the woman's white skin made Lauren's heart feel a tingle.

"Lauren, are you okay?" Joshua noticed Lauren's expression and he was a little worried.

Lauren shook her head gently.

"I'm fine, sorry, I'm here with my boss, he's just up ahead, I might have to go over to him."

Joshua nodded.

"Okay, but you need to take care of yourself, don't let yourself get too tired, I'll call you sometime."

Joshua's concern made Lauren feel warm. A happy smile spread across her face.

But her steps toward Matthew were getting heavier and heavier. The closer she got to him, the more

his and Jennifer's voices made her broken heart ache.

"Boss, may I ask if we're going to see your important client, Mr. Ito, now?"

Jennifer and Matthew's intimate communication was disturbed by Lauren, the expression on Jennifer's

face became very ugly, and she looked at Lauren with eyes full of resentment.

"Lauren, it's rude of you to show up like that."

The corner of Lauren's mouth rose slightly, she directly ignored the resentment in Jennifer's eyes and

walked towards Matthew.

"Boss, if you're not going to meet Mr. Ito and choose to flirt with women instead, then I'm sorry, I don't

really want to waste my break to watch these images that make me sick."

The stubbornness revealed in Lauren's eyes made the corners of Matthew's mouth lift slightly, and his

smile hid a deep meaning that she could not read, then he looked at Lauren with emotionless eyes.

"Jennifer, wait for me, I'll take her to meet Mr. Ito first, and then I'll come back to keep you company.

Tonight, all your time belongs to me."

He lowered his head and kissed Jennifer, his tongue stirring in her mouth. Lauren looked at Jennifer

whose eyes revealed the meaning of showing off, and her eyes flashed a trace of contempt. She

clenched her fists tightly and forced herself not to come forward and rip Jennifer away who was

hanging on top of Matthew.
