Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 727:

“Your reaction wasn’t shameful at all. It’s perfectly normal for young people. This is called an involuntary response. The fact that you reacted like that to me means, deep down, you probably do like men.”

He wanted to keep trying to manipulate Marissa, but she cut him off with an embarrassed and furious shout,

“Get out!”

Connor froze, hesitating.

“You… you really want me to go?”

Marissa’s voice was muffled but sharp.

“If you don’t leave, I’ll break your legs.”

Connor hesitated for a moment longer before meekly walking out, shutting the door behind him.

Once she was certain the study was empty, Marissa lifted her head and brushed her hair back, revealing a face flushed with heat and embarrassment. She let out a frustrated cry.

“Ugh, this is so humiliating!”

She rubbed her face, trying to shake off the mortification.

After that, she bolted to the bathroom, turned on the tap, and splashed cold water on her face over and over.

About ten minutes later, Marissa finally managed to calm down. She lifted her head and looked at herself in the mirror.

Seeing her reflection, she couldn’t help but scream again.

It wasn’t until Marissa saw her reflection in the mirror that she noticed the kiss marks scattered across her neck and shoulders, left by Connor. The marks were bold enough to spark anyone’s imagination.

“Jerk!” she blurted out angrily.

She then realized that he had intentionally kissed her so passionately, leaving those marks to ensure she wouldn’t go out and see anyone else.

She was supposed to meet another man for dinner tonight, and Connor was clearly jealous, having misunderstood her friendship with Kevin.noveldrama

This revelation left Marissa both furious and helpless.

Connor had claimed she never resisted his kisses, saying it was involuntary. Reflecting on it, Marissa realized she indeed never felt repulsed; instead, she found herself easily lost in those moments.

What did that mean?

Had she fallen in love with him?

This thought startled her, causing her heart to race.

No! She couldn’t possibly love him!

She had previously determined there were countless reasons why loving him was out of the question. How could she just fall for him so easily now?
