The moment my tongue connected to his finger, Carter and I froze, caught in the sudden sensation. 

He quickly withdrew his hand. 

I remained still in the posture where my lips slightly parted, unable to respond. 

It felt like the sensation of his fingertips still lingered on my tongue. 

His fingers, though pale with prominent bones, were beautifully shaped. But the inner side was rough, as if hardened from work.. 

So when I ran my tongue over them, it wasn’t smooth–there was a slight grittiness to it 

“S–sorry. I didn’t mean to, I quickly apologized, mortified by my rudeness. 

“It’s fine,” he replied casually, though I could clearly spot a blush creeping from the base of his ears down to his neck. 

His skin, already pale from years of staying indoors, turned an unmistakable red at the slightest hint of color. 

My eyes instinctively drifted to his neck, and my mind wandered–was his whole body blushing, too? 

That alabaster skin, touched by the faintest pink, would surely be irresistible. 

Realizing my own thoughts, I snapped out of it. This was dangerous! 

When I was with Luke, he relied on me, and I had grown used to taking care of him. 

We had been together since childhood. Over time, our relationship lost its romantic spark, becoming more like family. 

The two of us lived like an old married couple, with no excitement left in our lives. Besides, with our busy. work schedules, I rarely had any intimate contact with him. 

But with Carter, although we had known each other for years, we had never spent much time together. 

I wasn’t sure if it was the novelty of it all, but suddenly, found myself imagining things about him. 

That couldn’t be a good sign. I quickly looked for an excuse to leave. 

I hurried to the bathroom, feeling the weight of a share, burning gaze on me until I closed the door. 

I leaned against the doorframe, my heart racing. 

Looking at myself in the mirror, I saw iny face was flushed, shyly turning a shade of pink, almost too tempting–like a ripe peach ready to be picked. 

This was the sort of expression that rarely showed on my face.

Chapter 119 Carter, Massage My Back 

Looking back, I realized how lifeless I used to be.

I lived my life to please my family and lover, a machine without thoughts of my own. It had been so long since I felt joy or shyness, only anger. 

How pathetic! 

After what felt like an eternity, once the heat in my face subsided, I left the bathroom. Carter was sitting by the floor–to–ceiling windows, staring out at the snow falling from the sky. 

We lived on the third floor, and the yard below was filled with tall, lush trees. 

The weather had been nice recently, but these past few days had brought a relentless snowfall, covering the yard with a thick blanket of snow that the housekeepers hadn’t cleared. 

The delicate snowflakes fell from the branches. Occasionally, a bird would fly off, causing a flurry of snow to scatter in the air. 

It was a beautiful scene, yet I couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sadness. 

Why was this happening? 

Carter had always been cold, but what was he sad about? Who was he feeling sorrow for? 

Seeing him sitting there alone, I couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of empathy. 

He was just like me–always alone. 

I walked over to him and softly asked, “What are you thinking about?” 

He simply stared at me, silent, until he finally spoke, “Let’s go, the car’s ready.” 

“Okay.” 

As I prepared to head downstairs, he reminded me, ‘It’s cold outside. Dress warmly. If the house isn’t fully renovated, there’s no heating in the rooms,” 

I paused for a moment before responding with a smile Got it.” 

Obediently, I went back to my room and grabbed a down jacket to wear on the way out. I also picked up a blanket to drape over his knees. “Let’s go, Mr. Bolton.” 

He swallowed and said, “Mhm.” 

It felt nice to take care of each other like friends. Two lonely souls finding warmth in each other. 

As I pushed him downstairs, Luke looked up at me from the living room, his lifeless eyes now a little brighter. 

“Uncle Carter, are you guys going out?” 

Although Carter didn’t like Luke very much, he hadn’t really done anything to hurt him, likely because they were family.

I had always thought Carter was a man who appeared cold on the outside but was warm on the inside. 

Before he could answer, I spoke up, “We’re going to check out a marriage home. 

“It’s so cold today, Christmas is almost here, there’s no rush.” Luke seemed a little too concerned about how close Carter and I were. 

I knew it was because of my face–he had an inexplicable possessiveness about me. 

Even though he knew I wasn’t Chloe, he still couldn’t help but feel uneasy. 

Or maybe we had been together so long that, even with a new identity, I still unknowingly attracted him. 

“What do you mean by no rush? Even though it’s fun living with everyone, I’d like to have our own home. The kids‘ room needs to be prepared too. Otherwise, where would we put the baby when I get pregnant?” 

The air suddenly seemed to freeze with my remark. 

Carter didn’t say anything, but I noticed his neck turning red again. 

Luke stammered, “Uncle Carter, you’ve started planning to have a baby?”
