Beyond Love and Longing

As soon as Sean said those words, the atmosphere became awkward.

All the servants were shocked. But due to the look on Wendy's face, none of them dared to say anything.

Sean pretended not to notice anything and smiled gently. "Wendy kept saying that I'm not as smart as you. You always have a solution when a problem arises. Unlike me, who could only sigh when I came across a problem. This means that I can't be successful."

James held his phone tightly in his hands. He forced himself to suppress his disgust by thinking about the plane ticket and operation in a month's time. "You seem like quite a smart guy to me, Mr. Greenwood. You've kept quiet about having a child with Wendy and about the wedding."

The smile on Sean's face froze. The sarcasm was evident in those words.

Sean turned around and looked at Wendy. "Wendy, I think I might have sprained my ankle on my way here. It hurts..."

Wendy's face changed and she began to panic. "Where does it hurt? Let's go see a doctor!"

"I think I might have stepped on something on my way here." Sean patted his shoulder and pointed at the bathroom. "Help me to the bathroom first to wash things off."

Wendy quickly helped Sean towards the bathroom and carefully set him down on a chair.

James sat tensely in the living room.

He couldn't help but focus his attention on the sounds that were coming from the bathroom.

There was the sound of running water.

Wendy was gently caring for Sean and the latter let out a quiet hiss in pain.

Time slowly passed.

The sounds that were coming from the bathroom gradually disappeared.

It was a torture for James. He couldn't help but imagine what was going on in the bathroom.

Another two minutes had passed. James stood up and walked quietly to the corridor.

He felt like he was a thief as he looked at the door which was left ajar.

Behind the door, one was seated and the other was on the knees.

Sean gently lifted Wendy's chin and the next moment, the two of them began kissing passionately.

James froze where he was and he immediately felt humiliated.

He stared at the two who were kissing and his heart ached.

The two behind the door hugged tighter and tighter.

"Mmm..." Wendy murmured and threw herself onto Sean.

James had already known that the two of them were having an affair, but when he saw them kissing passionately, he felt his heart crumble.

James didn't walk away and just stared at the two who were kissing.

Sean's hands held Wendy's slim waist.

After the passionate kiss, Sean began kissing Wendy's chin, and then gradually worked his way down to her collarbones.

James looked at Wendy's lustful face as his fingers trembled. He tried his best to remain calm.

A while later, only Wendy's lustful gasps could be heard.

Wendy panted as she said, "You're so mean. James is still outside. It'll be embarrassing if an outsider saw us like this."

'An outsider?' James's heart ached.

He was Wendy's husband, but he actually became an outsider in this house.

Wendy lay lustfully in Sean's arms.

"You have a sprained ankle. Why were you so impulsive?"

Sean smiled and pinched her nose. "It's all because you're too attractive, my love."

A shy look appeared on Wendy's face that James had never seen before.

With a blushed face, she gently pushed Sean away. "I'll go get you some medicine."

Sean held Wendy's hand and stood up.

"Help me to the sofa before you go."

James clutched his fists and quickly returned to the table.

Wendy quickly sat Sean down and rushed out.

She seemed to have completely forgotten that James was still in the house.

"You saw everything, right?"

Just as James was about to stand up, he heard a chuckle from behind.

Sean leaned back on the sofa and said meaningfully, "I knew you were standing at the door when we were in the bathroom just now."

James stopped where he was and slowly turned around.

"I've heard that you've ordered an Idalian suit for me, James." A playful look flashed in Sean's eyes. "Thank you so much."

He smiled and shook his head. "In order to continue to be the CEO of the Bundred Group, you really are tolerant towards everything. You've been married to Wendy for so many years, but you're unable to have a child with her."

Sean looked down on James and smiled mockingly.

"We are only holding a wedding and not getting a marriage certificate, but technically speaking, my child will be the successor of the Bundred family. All you're doing now is managing the Bundred Group for my child.

"It's only a marriage certificate, I don't really care. Wendy cares about me and would always send me gifts on my livestream channel. All the money belongs only to me. Me and my child will both have a bright future ahead of us. Who do you think is smarter out of the two of us, James?"

Sean's words were like daggers stabbing into James's heart.

James forced himself to not show any signs of weakness and forced a smile on his face.

"You're right."

Sean was indeed the smarter guy.

Now that James had realized that, he straightened his back and walked out of the house.

'Just a little longer, James,' James said inwardly.

He reminded himself that he only had around 28 days left.
