When Love Turns Dangerous novel Chapter 117

Tara swiped away the chat page with the company when Lance's deep voice sounded from behind her.

"Who are you chatting with?"

"No one," Tara quickly replied. "I was just looking at the news."

Lance wrapped his arms around her from behind the couch. "I've got something going on tomorrow, so I won't be back tonight. But I'll go on the trip with you the day after."

Tara looked surprised. This was the first time since they started living together that he wouldn't come home at night.

"Okay." She didn't ask where he was going or what he would do.

Lance kissed the back of her neck and voluntarily told her about his plans for tomorrow.

"I have an event in the morning. And it also happens to be Grandpa's birthday tomorrow, so I'm going to his place in the evening to spend the night with them."

Oh, so that was the reason. Since she was Lance's girlfriend, Tara wondered whether she should get a gift for his grandfather, Anton Swain.

If their relationship hadn't been exposed, she wouldn't have bothered. But since photos of them together were online and trending, surely his family had seen them too.

Tara pulled his arms away and looked at him as if she wanted to say something but thought better of it.

Shawn softened when he saw her behaving like that and couldn't help but kiss her on the lips.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

Tara decided to just come out with it. "Since it's your grandfather's birthday tomorrow, should I get him a gift? After all, photos of us together were taken."

Shawn kissed her again. "Sure. Grandpa likes drinking coffee. I'll pick the kind he likes as a gift."

Tara wondered if this was truly appropriate, but she couldn't think of a better gift. She wanted to pay for it herself, though she didn't have much money. After all, when it came to gift-giving, sincerity mattered the most.

"Alright then. But just so we're clear—I'm paying for it myself."

Lance said nothing. He simply looked at her.

Ignoring his silence, Tara insisted on paying. He had already given her many expensive things, like their current home, which was worth about 30 million dollars.

On top of that, he kept giving her jewelry recently, and her huge walk-in closet was already filled with the branded clothes and bags he bought for her. This all made Tara feel like she was dreaming.

Lance chuckled and said, "Fine, as you wish."

Only then did Tara sigh with relief. She then hugged his right arm and rested her face against his neck.

How could Lance resist her warmth and softness? He immediately carried her into the bedroom and kissed her deeply.

…

The next morning, Lance kissed her and said, "I'll be back tomorrow morning."

Tara nodded. Then, she hugged and nuzzled his neck. She couldn't bear for him to leave.

Lance had to summon all his self-control to finally let go of the soft, sweet-smelling woman in his arms.

"Wait for me to come back," he said.
