Wooing My Ex-Wife

“I… uh… Please don’t misunderstand the situation. My mom insisted that I take care of you. I took off your clothes to clean your body. I bear no feelings toward you,” she solemnly said as she nodded.

Kieran had yet to sober up, and Inez’s words hurt him. “So, you’re saying that I’m not charming at all? I can’t believe you feel nothing toward me even though you took off my clothes.”

Inez was confused to hear that.

What does that mean? Is he really hoping that I’d do something to him? But if I touch him while he’s intoxicated, then wouldn’t I be a criminal?

As she mulled over a proper explanation, she stared at his face. It was then she realized that he had a gloomy look in his eyes despite his red cheeks. It was as if he was feeling aggrieved.

It was… surprisingly cute.

Right as she was lost in her thoughts, Kieran grabbed her wrist again and said in a pitiful tone, “Inez, did I hurt you too badly the other time? Is that why you don’t like me anymore? You don’t even feel anything even though you saw my body…”

“Uh…” Inez was speechless.

Kieran had been reading cheesy one-liners and learning flirting techniques every night. He was even practicing the methods that Treyton had taught him previously. If everything failed, he would then resort to his beauty to try to captivate her.

This was something he would never do if he were sober, but he was taking the opportunity of his drunken stupor to do the bold act at the moment.

In fact, he even grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest, letting her touch his burning skin.

As he landed his unfocused gaze on Inez, he muttered, “You’ve already seen and touched my body, so you have to bear the consequences of that.”

Inez’s lips twitched. It was her first time seeing someone trying to con another in this way. Moreover, that someone was Kieran Harris, an arrogant and composed man.

“Kieran, is there nothing but alcohol in your head now? Why aren’t you using your brain?”

Kieran ignored her comment and pulled her hand toward his abs. He even pinched her fingers to force her to squeeze his flesh.

His abs felt good to the touch, and Inez’s face turned red. She tried to retract her hand, but Kieran had a tight grip on her.

With an exasperated look on her face, she huffed. “What’s wrong with you? Was something else added to your wine? How can you do something perverted like this?”

Kieran’s eyes were still unfocused and watery. “You’re the pervert; you’re touching me. You don’t even want to admit it!”
