These had to be God's most carefully crafted creations, didn't they? How could any man be this captivating, this breathtakingly beautiful?
Liam watched the young woman disappear through the door. Then, he slowly raised the goblet in front of him, ready to take a sip, only to find the woman across from him staring at him, completely lost in a daze.
He furrowed his brow slightly, then met her gaze directly. The two of them just looked at each other, neither speaking a word.
When Emma finally snapped back to reality, her face flushed so hot it felt like it might catch fire. She looked down at the red roses cradled in her arms. These were the years he hadn't been able to share with her—the most tender, youthful years of Emma's life.
For the past seven years, Noah had been by her side.
Seven years from now, ten years from now, there would always be some other woman beside her.
Thinking about this, Liam's heart turned to ice. It was hard to breathe. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't escape the cruel fate of regret—the regret that they hadn't met sooner.
Liam was lost in his own thoughts, his mind about to explode. But then he glanced at Emma in the passenger seat beside him.
It made him want to laugh and cry at the same time. Was there something wrong with this woman's brain?
Just moments ago, he had been drowning in a gloomy mood. How could she have any energy left after dinner?
As soon as she got in the car, she couldn't wait to unwrap the lollipop in her hand. Without a word, she popped it into her mouth, and her eyes lit up. "This is really delicious! It's sour and sweet. It almost tastes like the mouthwash at home. It's pineapple flavor!"
Well... it was probably better than that.
Emma stuck out her tongue and licked it, a happy, sweet expression spreading across her face. Then she lightly licked her lips. Her pink tongue was moist and lively, and her pink lips seemed coated with the honey of the lollipop. It looked incredibly tempting.
Seeing this scene, Liam couldn't help but swallow. He put the key into the ignition to start the car, but Emma's beautiful voice reached his ears. "Liam, this lollipop tastes amazing! I have another one here. Why don't you try it?"
Liam looked back at her indifferently and didn't say a word. To be honest, he didn't care about the lollipop at all. But... the rest was a different matter.
Emma stared at him for a long time, and when she saw he wasn't reacting, she put the candy back in her mouth and poked him with her finger. She blurted out, "I'm talking to you, Liam! Can you give me some kind of reaction?"
It was always like this. Was it really so hard to answer when someone was talking to you?
Did you want it or not? Just give me a reply, right?
Just as Emma was puffing out her lips in frustration, Liam suddenly stopped what he was doing. The car, which had just started, was turned off by him.
In the blink of an eye, Liam's face appeared right in front of her. Emma leaned back in surprise. Just as she was about to speak, he suddenly took a domineering posture. His whole body leaned in close to her. He reached out, gently pulled the candy from her mouth, and quickly pressed his lips to Emma's pink ones.
Liam really wasn't interested in that candy. That was right. What he was more interested in was Emma, this little girl who had no idea how powerful she was.
At this moment, the atmosphere was so ambiguous it would make anyone blush.
Liam's palm gently held her soft fingers, his other hand resting on her shoulder. He kissed Emma gently but forcefully. There was a sweet taste in his mouth. The tip of her tongue and her lips all conveyed that sweetness. Such a kiss made Liam want more, made him unable to stop. So, he intensified his efforts and continued to seek deeper, more demanding kisses.
For a long time, Liam was so aroused by the sweet kiss and the soft touch that he felt a tightness in his stomach. He wanted this woman. From the bottom of his heart, beyond just physical needs, there was a deep, profound desire.
He felt his mouth go dry, his emotions hard to control. It seemed like he would explode in the next second, and he wouldn't be able to hold back. Right here in the car, on this busy street, he would have a full workout.
