Chapter 516: Couples’ Room

Caroline’s POV:

Upon entering the room, I was stupefied.

Clearly, the room was for couples.

The ornaments and decoration was romantic and sweet.

There was a bunch of rose petals shaped into a heart along with the words "I love you" on the wide
bed.

I must say, it was quite romantic.

Just looking at it made my heart race.I looked at Charles, visibly surprised.

"Did you prepare all of these? Did you really arrange all of it?"

Charles pulled the suitcase in, closed the door, and gave me a smile.

"So, what do you think? I specifically arranged it for this trip.I sincerely hope that we can make good
memories here."

I scoffed at him to show my displeasure.

"I knew it.You did this on purpose! You told me all of the other rooms were full.You were just making up
excuses!"

Charles hugged me from behind, nuzzling his chin against my shoulder to appease me.

"If I didn’t come up an excuse, you wouldn’t have agreed to share a room with me.But, I’m really happy
that you’re ñere, Caroline."



My back was pressed against his chest.

When he spoke, I could feel the warmth of his breath on my neck.

Since I had sensitive skin, it made me tremble.I could feel my heart racing and I couldn’t help but smile.

Even so, I still maintained my composure.

"Haven’t we shared a room already?"

"That’s not the same! Our kids are always there and getting in the way of our intimacy.But now, it’s just
us today."

He gently kissed my neck and then nibbled on my earlobes.

Feeling his lips on my skin made me feel like I was on fire.

"Charles,"

I moaned, trying to stop him from initiating sex with me.

Charles stopped and removed his arms from me.

He urged me to go to the bathroom and said, "You should go take a shower and change into a fresh set
of clothes, honey.Otherwise, you’re gonna catch a cold."

Then, he planted a kiss on my forehead and left the bathroom.

As I stared at the closed door, my heart melted.

Once I was done taking a shower, I put on a bathrobe and left the bathroom.

Outside, I saw Charles smoking on the balcony.



Amidst the smoke, I could see the outline of his handsome face.

"You should go and take a shower as well, Charles."

"Got it."

Charles put out his cigarette and went to the bathroom.

After a while, i heard him speak from inside.

"Caroline, I forgot to bring my razor with me.Can you help me find it, please?"

"Sure."

I immediately opened his suitcase and took out his razor.

Upon entering the bathroom, I saw Charles standing in front of the mirror, half-naked.

He slowly turned around, revealing his abdominal muscles and his Adonis belt.

His lean, muscular body was comparable to that of models; perfect, and free from flaws.

Beads of water slid down his chest, ran down his abs, and into the bath towel.

The mere sight of it was incredibly seductive.

Perhaps due to the temperature in the bathroom being too high, or his appearance was too tempting, I
swallowed the lump in my throat, unable to look away from him.

Charles raised an eyebrow at me and asked, "Do I look good?"

"You do!" I answered without a second thought.



The grin on his face widened as he slowly walked towards me.

Steadily, he approached me.

My heart beat along with his every step.My mind went blank for a moment, and I could feel my heart
beating like thunder.

By the time I gathered my composure, Charles was already standing in front of me with a devilish grin
on his lips.

"Since you like it so much, go ahead and take a closer look."

He was merely half a step away from me.

My head could only reach his shoulders.

His chest was right in front of my face, so I could almost feel its warmth.

"No, thanks! Here’s your razor.I’m leaving now."

After handing him the razor, I turned around and intended to leave right away.

"What’s the hurry, Caroline?"

Charles said from behind, chuckling at my reaction.My heart trembled and I stumbled on accident.

Because I was falling straight to the ground, I closed my eyes nervously.

But to my surprise, I didn’t feel the pain I was expecting.

Soon, I felt a strong hand on my waist and then I fell into his warm embrace.I heard a muffled groan
from above me.I tried to stand, but he grabbed me right away.



"Don’t move."

My body tensed up for a moment, but it relaxed shortly afterwards when I nestled in his arms.

Charles’ heavy gasp reached my ears.It took a while before he finally let go of me.

I felt as though my entire body was on fire and that this heat wouldn’t dissipate for a long time.

Later that night, Charles and I slept together in the bed.

The dim lighting made the atmosphere in the room even more romantic.

Because I wanted to change into a more comfortable sleeping position, I decided to move, albeit
uneasily.

But as soon as I turned around, I bumped into his chest.

His natural scent wafted into my nose, almost drowning me.

He placed his arms around my waist, fully embracing me.

I was holding my breath in anticipation, but I was surprised that even after so long, he didn’t try to have
sex with "We should sleep.We still have a project to deal with tomorrow, so I won’t do anything to tire
you out tonight," Charles said in a sleepy voice as he ran his hand along my back.

I breathed a sigh of relief, yet somehow felt a little disappointed.

Pretty soon, I drifted into sleep.

That night, I was able to sleep really well.

Early the next morning, Charles and I set out from the hotel.



Several cars pulled over in front of us, forcing our car to stop.

Then, a group of people came out of the cars and besieged us.

Charles stood in front of me and said, "Follow me and don’t let go of my hand!"

"Okay." I held his hand as firmly as I could, feeling nervous and tense.

Those people had ferocious expressions, and none of them looked like good people.

Charles kicked one of them, who was several meters away.

The man covered his lower abdomen, bellowing in pain.

Upon seeing this, the others began assaulting us.

When I saw the clubs and knives they had in hand, I was horrified.

My instinct compelled me to avoid them at all costs.

And in all honesty, I was glad that they weren’t holding any guns.

Otherwise, Charles and I would be in big trouble.

He was able to repel our attackers on his own, and he didn’t seem like he was at a disadvantage.

Pretty soon, he was able to incapacitate most of them.

The remaining ones looked at each other in fear.

Thereafter, their leader commanded, "Retreat!"



Charles held my shoulder, staring at me from head to toe "Are you hurt, Caroline?"

"I’m okay."

Charles managed to protect me well.

None of those assholes were able to touch me because of him.

"Good to know.Call the police, Caroline," he said to me.

He then took out a rope from the trunk of the car, and used it to tie the people he had knocked down
and were screaming in pain, I called the police right away.

Thereafter, Charles began interrogating our assailants.

"Who ordered you to do this? If you don’t tell me the truth, I’m going to tell the police to throw you all
into prison!"

At first, none of the attackers uttered a word.

But because of their silence, Charles was infuriated.

Charged by rage, he kicked one of the men as hard as he could, causing the latter to wince in pain.

"Are you going to talk or not?"

"Someone paid us a lot of money to sabotage your schedule at all costs.We’re just the first group of
people.There are at least five more squads waiting along the way to stop you," replied one of the
attackers.

"Who paid you?" asked Charles.



"There’s never any name.We just take the money and do our job," the attacker replied.

Soon, the police came and took them away.

Feeling helpless, I let out a sigh.

"Looks like we’re gonna have to cancel today’s schedule, huh?"

With a stern expression, Charles handed me his phone and said, "Caroline, I’m afraid we’ll have to go
back ahead of schedule.Something has happened to the Wilson Group."

I took the phone, read the news report, and gasped in shock.

"Why did Roger suddenly withdraw his investment?”
