Billionaires with Benefits

Chapter 77: Love Confession

Nobody knew how long it had been since Paula's feet had tiptoed to match William's height, so that her lips could meet his, touching them without difficulty. Her white stilettos weren't tall enough to help her do the job. William was still too tall even though Paula wasn't exactly short.

All Paula did was touch his lips with hers. It was only a peck because she only meant to thank him. However, for some reason, Paula did it for a very long time. A mere peck shouldn't last that long.

Paula didn't mean to linger. However, as soon as William's breath's mint and acai berry scent wafted into her nose, she couldn't take her lips off his. She wanted more.

It was just a peck on the lips, but William's heart was pounding wildly. Paula's light kiss shouldn't have aroused his desire, making his third leg tense up. This was so wrong because all Paula did was just come closer to him, touch his cheeks, then press her lips on his. However, those simple acts sent chills down his entire body.

William wanted to bite Paula's sweet and soft lips. He wanted more than a peck on the lips. However, his feelings of guilt for doing bad things to Paula prevented him from doing any further.

It should have been just a kiss. However, Paula couldn't fight the reaction in her body. Something moved in her chest, down into her stomach, and towards her core. She was sure, that time, something was coming out from her core, creaming her pants.

Knowing that this would end badly, Paula immediately separated herself from William awkwardly. She lowered her hands and hid them behind her butt out of shame.

"Ah, I just ... wanted to thank you," Paula stammered. She didn't usually feel that awkward. She had to try hard, breathing regularly, so William wouldn't hear her fast-beating heart.

William shook his head in response. He looked at Paula with his droopy emerald eyes, expressing deep sadness. "What I did is not much. This all will not be able to make up for the bad things I did to you. I don't deserve a thank you kiss from you."

.....

Paula frowned. She wondered why William had come from New York to Tokyo to say something she didn't quite understand. Was William unhappy that she suddenly gave a light peck?

Right. That must be what happened. William was kind and considerate to her because the relationship between them had always been good. Not that William was paying special attention to her.

"Are you here because you want to talk about the divorce?" asked Paula, looking for the truth of her assumption.

William flinched at Paula's question. He again forgot that the two of them were indeed discussing divorce. However, considering everything he did to his wife was so bad, what woman didn't ask for a divorce after being treated so cruelly? Even if he was drunk at the time.

William then took something out of his coat. He handed a light blue book to his wife. Of course, Paula was very surprised that the book was in William's hands.

"So you have this book?" asked Paula with wide eyes.

"Lea found it and kept it," William answered quietly. His throat tightened. He had to speak carefully because he didn't want Paula to hate Lea. However, was it even possible?

Paul nodded slowly. She understood very well, if Lea found this, Lea would definitely hide it because she didn't want William to know about her biological child.

"I understand. Anyone would understand if they were in the same position as Lea. She definitely doesn't want to lose you because of this baby," Paula paused. "Have you explained to Lea that you don't really want a baby? If not, explain to her so she doesn't have to worry."
