A CEO With An Impossible Libido Chapter 10

A CEO With An Impossible Libido Chapter 10

Ivy’s boyfriend was actually Russ Ludlow.

So the person who had pulled her into that hard kiss in the secretary area last time was also Russ?

The fog that had been clouding my heart finally lifted.

Ivy added, “I’ll tell you a little secret. Last time you came to see Julian and asked me to throw away the pastries I had knocked over, Julian saw them after you left, right as I was taking them out.”

“He actually asked me for the pastries and hid in the CEO’s office to eat the whole box.”

I smiled and nodded.

“Ivy, thank you for telling me.”

“Go on. Don’t keep your boyfriend waiting.”

Ivy waved at me.

“Okay. Bye, Vivian. I’ll wait for your call.”

The comments appeared.

[Brain currently offline…]

[Ivy is way too honest. Why did she tell Vivian everything?]

[Now Vivian knows everything.]

[Ivy is kind of silly too. Even if her boyfriend is Russ Ludlow now, who knows if they’ll break up someday?]

[She should’ve shut down any chance of Vivian and Julian getting back together first. Julian would become hers eventually.]

[Because of what she did, the female side character and Julian probably won’t divorce now.]

[Is the female side character about to come out on top?]

[What do you mean, come out on top? She was Julian’s legal wife to begin with.]

[The problem in her marriage with Julian wasn’t Ivy at its core.]

[It was that the two of them had incompatible temperaments and an incompatible sex life.]

[If Julian spends his whole life with her, won’t he be horribly repressed?]

[Did you all forget the kiss mark on Julian’s neck?]

[Even without Ivy, Julian is probably keeping another woman in that beachfront villa.]

As I ate my third piece of bear-shaped shortbread, Julian appeared on the beach.

He was walking alone and hadn’t seen me.

This time, I stood up first and walked toward him.

Julian heard footsteps behind him and turned around.

He froze slightly, his gaze locking onto me as if he couldn’t bear to look away for even a second.

“Vivian, why are you here?”

I stopped in front of Julian and answered honestly, “I came to ask Ivy about something related to my experiment.”

Julian nodded.

“She and Russ live nearby.”

“Russ was my college classmate. Several of our classmates own places around here.”

I took the opening and asked, “Patina, the housekeeper, said you haven’t been staying at Hartwell Manor recently.”

Julian took a step forward and said in a low voice, “Do you know why I haven’t wanted to go home?”

Nervously, I asked, “Why?”

“Because…” Julian struggled to suppress the pain in his eyes. “The house is full of your scent. I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself.”

Oh. So that was why.

His words brushed over my heart like a feather.

I wanted to take the chance to ask, Julian, then can we forget about the divorce?

But when I opened my mouth, something else came out.

“Julian, where are we in the divorce process?”

As soon as the words left my mouth, I pressed my lips together.

I blamed my own mouth for betraying me.

I had clearly wanted to test his thoughts about the divorce.

Instead, I had completely failed to express myself.

Would he think I was urging him to hurry up and divorce me?

Sure enough, Julian misunderstood.

His gaze turned dark, and he said forcefully, “There is no divorce process to discuss. Vivian, I never truly intended to divorce you.”

Joy flickered through my heart, but I didn’t dare show it too clearly.

“Then why did you make me sign the divorce papers last time?”

Julian took my hand and softened his voice.

“There were two copies of the divorce papers. You only signed one, so that doesn’t count.”

“Vivian, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have used divorce to pressure you.”

“Let’s end the divorce talk here. Neither of us will bring it up again, okay?”

The comments appeared.

[I’ve only ever seen women unhappy with their marriage threaten divorce to pick fights with their husbands.]

[I’ve never seen a man use divorce to make a scene.]

[Julian just wanted to fight for more attention and a bigger place in her life.]

[Who knew he would take it too far?]

I answered decisively, “Okay. Neither of us will mention divorce again.”

Julian pulled me tightly into his arms.

Against my ear, he murmured, “I’ve thought a lot these days.”

“My sex drive is too high. I didn’t consider your feelings.”

“I can change from now on. If you don’t want it, I’ll hold back.”

“Even if I have to hold back for the rest of my life, I’m willing.”

The comments went insane.

[No, male lead. You forgave her all by yourself just like that?]

[Hold back for her for the rest of your life? Repress your own desire?]

[Everyone has desire. You need to face yours.]

[It’s not your fault. Vivian is the one who should change.]

[Exactly. What Julian wants is a daily quota from Vivian. Seven times a day, that kind of daily quota.]

[Not monthly or quarterly quotas.]

[Actually, I think they could agree on a number per month that both of them can accept.]

[They’re husband and wife. Isn’t marriage about discussing things and compromising so life can go on?]

I hugged him back.

“Julian, I can change too. Give me some time, okay?”

Julian kissed my forehead as if I were precious.

“Okay. Don’t pressure yourself. You can change slowly.”

“As long as you don’t push me away, I can wait as long as it takes.”
