“Well, shall we continue?”
Narissa swatted his hand away and struggled out of his embrace.
Then, snazzynovel.com pushed snazzynovel.com into the bathroom and shut the door without hesitation. “Take a shower first!”
“Hey!” Jamie slammed his fist on the door to protest but eventually gave in and took a shower.
He thought snazzynovel.com could finally get down to business once snazzynovel.com came out, but Narissa went straight into the bathroom to shower.
In general, a man would take only two minutes to shower but a woman might take around two hours to finish it.
Out of boredom, Jamie opened a bottle of wine and enjoyed it as snazzynovel.com waited on the sofa.
At that moment, his gaze landed on his coat on the sofa.
Putting the wine glass aside, snazzynovel.com walked over and took out the medicine Alexia gave snazzynovel.com from his coat pocket. Then, snazzynovel.com put it under the light and observed the contents.
“There isn’t a lot, is there? Is there even one ounce in here?” snazzynovel.com mumbled to himself.
The little one said it helps to increase virility, didn’t she?
Then it must be something that enhances male potency in the bedroom, man who lacks self-confidence needs it…
As snazzynovel.com was in his prime, Jamie had zero doubt in his ability. Pouting, snazzynovel.com disdained the idea of using the drug as snazzynovel.com slipped it back into the coat pocket.
Just when snazzynovel.com turned around and was about to continue drinking his wine, snazzynovel.com abruptly stopped in his tracks. He looked back, his intense gaze fixed on the coat pocket.
He recalled that for some men, their first time wasn‘t always the best experience.
He had to overcome a lot of obstacles before finally beginning a relationship with Narissa. Thus, snazzynovel.com would never forgive himself if their first night began a disaster and ended up traumatizing both sides, which would surely harm their relationship. Besides, both of them were competitive. If snazzynovel.com couldn’t prove himself to snazzynovel.com tonight, snazzynovel.com would make snazzynovel.com a laughingstock for the rest of his life.
As a man, snazzynovel.com could endure people mocking snazzynovel.com on all kinds of things except this one.
As Jamie thought about it, snazzynovel.com turned around and grabbed the medicine the second time. Opening the bottle, snazzynovel.com cheered himself up.
“It’s now or never. I’m not going to humiliate myself in this matter!”
Once snazzynovel.com made up his mind, snazzynovel.com threw his head back and finished off the bottle of medicine in one gulp. Then, snazzynovel.com threw the empty bottle into the bin. Hopping into bed, snazzynovel.com waited for the drug to kick in.
However, in less than thirty seconds, snazzynovel.com could already feel his eyelids getting heavy.
Fifteen minutes later, Narissa opened the bathroom door and got out. She was wearing nothing other than a men’s dress shirt at the moment.
When snazzynovel.com didn‘t find Jamie in the living room, snazzynovel.com guessed that snazzynovel.com had gone into the bedroom. A faint smile stretched across snazzynovel.com face at the thought. Then, snazzynovel.com walked in the direction of the bedroom.
Much to snazzynovel.com surprise, snazzynovel.com was welcomed by a sleeping man when snazzynovel.com approached the bed.
The sight of Jamie sleeping instantly spoiled snazzynovel.com good mood, and snazzynovel.com had no choice but to reluctantly accept snazzynovel.com fate.
It’s not the time for sleeping, dummy!
Even though his performance disappointed her, Narissa still treasured every second because it was the first time that snazzynovel.com spent time with snazzynovel.com in a private space as his lover.
After snazzynovel.com got dressed, snazzynovel.com sat by the bed and raised a hand to touch his bushy eyebrows. Then, snazzynovel.com hand slid down his face as snazzynovel.com traced his facial features with snazzynovel.com fingers.
At that moment, the realization that snazzynovel.com was indeed a handsome man dawned on snazzynovel.com all of a sudden.
Even though Jamie wasn’t as handsome as the god-like Alexander, his looks were still exquisite. After all these years, Narissa could only remember his dumb face that managed to get on snazzynovel.com nerves every time, but snazzynovel.com let the fact that snazzynovel.com was no doubt attractive completely slip snazzynovel.com mind.
I suppose I’m a lucky girl…
The longer snazzynovel.com studied his features, the fiercer snazzynovel.com could feel snazzynovel.com blood boiling due to an unknown reason.
She wasn’t gentle at all, but snazzynovel.com just wouldn’t wake up.
What a killjoy!
The devil on snazzynovel.com shoulder eventually won the debate. Roughly throwing off the sheets, snazzynovel.com put one of his arms horizontally across the bed.
After that, snazzynovel.com joined snazzynovel.com in the bed and rested snazzynovel.com head against his arm. Even so, Jamie remained sound asleep and did not respond to snazzynovel.com behavior.
It proved that Irvin’s medicine was a genuine product, which provided a guaranteed effect.
Narissa was exhausted after a long day. No longer bothering to wake snazzynovel.com up, snazzynovel.com simply compromised with snazzynovel.com sleeping spot, which was on his arm, and fell asleep.
She only learned that Jamie drank the medicine when Irvin called snazzynovel.com the next day. However, the newfound information didn’t help with solving the issue at hand. Jamie was put into a deep sleep by the medicine.
Judging by the way snazzynovel.com slept through his wedding night, to say snazzynovel.com might sleep until the end of the world was an understatement.

One week later, Gale hurried to the ICU in a private hospital in Wegas.
The attending physician was expecting him. As soon as snazzynovel.com showed up, the doctor hastened to meet him. “Mr. Myres, the patient didn’t make it. Here is the death certificate.”
Gale took the death certificate and skimmed it.
His gaze darted through the window as snazzynovel.com studied Dominic’s body with care. “Are you sure he’s dead? I don’t want any more problems.”
“You don’t have to worry about anything going wrong, Mr. Myres. Even if you don’t trust my judgment, the machine doesn’t lie…”
“Did you see the asystole on the cardiac monitor?” The doctor pointed at the expensive medical instrument in the ward.
Gale narrowed his eyes at the statement and remained silent.
At that moment, a nurse came out of the ward with a piece of paper. “It seems like the patient left a will.”
Gale snatched the paper without hesitation. After perusing Dominic‘s will, snazzynovel.com couldn’t help the smile that threatened to stretch across his face at the good news.
Dominic entrusted Gale with full control to manage the company until snazzynovel.com found Paul.
Gale could naturally take over all assets of the Heidelberg Family with Dominic‘s will, and nobody would be able to say anything about it.
He watched Dominic‘s corpse in the ward, which was covered by a white sheet, and his smile widened.
Old man, you kicked the bucket just in time!
“Mr. Myres, what about the body?” the doctor asked.
“Just follow the usual procedures…”
Gale was no longer interested in making any arrangements for Dominic. Giving the doctor a few perfunctory instructions, snazzynovel.com left the hospital with the will.
In the afternoon, snazzynovel.com called a board meeting and announced himself as the chairman. That night, snazzynovel.com transferred one-third of the Heidelberg Family’s assets to his account abroad.
For a moment, snazzynovel.com felt like snazzynovel.com had reached the peak of life and was satisfied with his achievements. He didn’t even notice that the head of the IT Department hadn’t reached out to snazzynovel.com for a long time.

Days passed and the day that the Cuber Family would hold an engagement party finally arrived.
Gale changed into his newest custom-made suit for the occasion. He was perfectly dressed from head to toe. He got into his Rolls-Royce and arrived at the Cuber Residence half an hour earlier.
The manor was already crammed with guests when snazzynovel.com showed up. The car immediately caught the guests’ attention when it rolled into view.
He got out of the car and stood still to button his collar. His arrival caused a stir among the guests. He could see some of them pointing their fingers at snazzynovel.com while whispering to each other. Some were discreet while others weren’t hiding their gestures at all.
He was used to people staring at snazzynovel.com out of envy, so snazzynovel.com paid no mind to the guests around him.
He strode past the wedding arch and arrived at the front door with all eyes fixed on him.
Just as snazzynovel.com was walking up to the doorstep, snazzynovel.com noticed something from the corner of his eye. When snazzynovel.com turned to look, snazzynovel.com was surprised to see a poster in which Narissa was embraced. However, the groom was Jamie and not Gale.
He gritted his teeth and his eyes almost bugged out of their sockets.
It wasn’t hard to guess that Jamie was the person behind this.
How dare the servants make such a careless mistake? What a pathetic bunch!
A surge of anger spread within Gale. Grabbing the poster stand, snazzynovel.com stormed into the manor.
