MY GORGEOUS WIFE IS AN EX-CONVICT

Chapter 23

Sometimes, it’s better to be less curious.” He looked away and drove the car.

“Okay, understood.” alexis portrayed an obedient look.

She had stalked around and found that Blake liked obedient women. The more obedient they were, the longer they could stay with him. As for those who wanted to prove that they were an exception and wanted to be his ‘only one’, they were quickly dumped.

Although she wanted to become his ‘exception’ and ‘only one’, she was not going to rush into things. She would slowly inch. her way into his heart.

“Blake, thank you for the necklace you gave me today. I love it very much. However, I don’t think I have many opportunities to wear such a luxurious necklace.” alexis started on a happy note but subsequently sounded regretful.

She did not realize that her perfect performance was nothing but a joke in Blake’s eyes.

After all, he had encountered too many women who liked to put up a show. “You can wear them when you attend the

Starlight Banquet.”

Joy swept across alexis’s face, but she said, “But I’m just on unknown actress now, I don’t think I’m going to be invited to the Starlight Banquet.”

“Why do you need an invitation to attend it? You just need to follow me there. I will then introduce you to a few directors and producers,” Blake said.

Alexis immediately exclaimed, “Blake, you’re the best!”

Blake continued to drive his car. The gaze in his eyes was icy from the very beginning.

He knew very well what alexis wanted, thus he just went along with her wishes. After all, she was now his current girlfriend.

He did not mind providing some perks to his women as long as he received some benefits in return as well.

His car arrived at the entrance of the gray's residence.
Alexis could not bear to part from him. Blake, thanks for driving me home. Would you… like to come up?”

“Nope,” he said as his face inched closer to hers.
Alexis heart thumped so fast that it felt like it was going to bounce out. ‘Is he going to kiss me?”

Soon after, she was only left with disappointment because he merely placed his finger on her lips and gently rubbed on the lipstick she had on.

He frowned a little and took a piece of tissue to wipe the color off his finger before plainly saying, “Don’t use this color anymore. It’s too bright and does not suit your lips.”

“Huh? Oh, okay. Understood,” alexis immediately replied.

“You may get down now.” The tone of his voice did not carry any emotions.

The car immediately sped off once alexis got down.

Alexis bit on her lips, looking bewildered. She did not understand why Blake complied with everything she wanted.

For example, he would gift her any luxury bags, clothes, or pieces of jewelry she laid her eyes on.

Furthermore, he even invested in her to help build up her acting career as if those resources did not need any money.

However, to say that he liked her, it seemed like that was not the case either. In addition to that, his gaze was always so cold whenever he looked at her.

“It’s just the beginning. I will get a hold of Brian’s heart soon enough!’ alexis comforted herself.

‘Another thing is, what’s going on with claire? Is claire…together with isaac?’

That puzzling question kept circulating in alexis’s head.

Within the confines of the tiny house,isaac carried claire inside and gently placed her on the bed.

“You can go home for the night,” isaac said to nathan who followed him in.

Shock flashed across nathan’s eyes. However, since he had been following isaac for such a long time, he understood that there were some things that he should not ask.

“Yes,”nathan responded and left the house.

‘Since Young Master Landford asked me to leave, then I guess. this means that Young Master Landford… is going to stay here.

tonight?”

Inside the rented house, there were only isaac and claire.

He helped her remove her shoes and coat before he pulled the covers over her. Then he pulled a chair to sit by the bed.

When he thought about it, it had been a while since he lived here. This house no longer had any traces to prove that he once lived here.

‘Has she thrown out all my things?’ That thought made him frown as a sense of displeasure rose in his heart.

At that moment, claire, who was supposed to be fast asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and wanted to get out of bed.

“What is it?” he asked.

With half-opened blurry eyes, she mumbled, “Water… I need water…

She was probably feeling parched from drinking so much wine earlier.

Isaac sighed and firmly sat her on the bed. “Sit here and don’t move. I’ll get you some water.”

He was worried that she might scald herself if she went to get water on her own in her current state!

He walked over to the little table where her hot flask was. He knew that she would usually pour a cup of cold water and add some hot water into it during the winter season. The water would then become warm water, a suitable temperature to drink during cold days.

He took a cup and mixed some warm water for her before returning to the bed.

Fortunately, she was obediently sitting on the bed with her back straight, looking like a good student.

Isaac did not hold back his laughter when he looked at claire.

As if she heard him, she raised her chin and looked at him.

with her half-opened almond eyes. Her face was colored with shades of red, her lips as well.

“Water… I need water…” she kept mumbling, but her sitting position remained the same as before.

He found her inexplicably cute.

“Alright, here’s your water.” He carefully angled the cup to her lips.

She clumsily reached for the cup and gulped the water all at once before releasing a long breath. With a satisfied smile, she said, “Thanks.”

“Did you have enough? Do you want more water?” he asked her.

She cocked her head to the side as if trying to comprehend what he was saying before finally murmuring, “Sleepy… Need sleep…”

“Then just…” He could not complete the last three words ‘go to sleep’ when she had already reached out her hand and pulled him.

He was caught by surprise as she managed to pull him onto the bed with her.

In the next moment, she was already on top of him, smiling demurely as her fingers lightly traveled on the skin of his face.

Isaac…” Her gentle voice rang through his ears. Her sweet scent was mixed with the smell of wine that could intoxicate anyone.

“Tell me, why are you so good looking?”
