She got the divorce and bolted 42
Chapter 42
Clayton’s Adam’s apple bobbed.
He suddenly leaned in and murmured into Sienna’s ear, “Weren’t you implying that I was weak earlier with that food you ordered? Tonight, you’ll find out whether I really am.”
“If you’re in heat, go find some other woman. I’m not playing along,” Sienna snapped, lifting her knee to drive it into his abdomen.
Nevertheless, Clayton anticipated it and pinned it back down. “There’s one right here. Why go to the trouble to get another one?”
As he spoke, her silk dress rode up her thighs, revealing even more skin.
Sienna shuddered violently and struggled with all her strength. “Clayton! This is against my will! I can sue you!”
He ignored her entirely and pressed down, trapping her between his arms. Starting at her neck, he rained kisses all the way to her collarbone. Each kiss was searing hot, leaving a trail of fiery marks across her skin.
Just as his hand was about to slip beneath the hem of her dress, Sienna snapped. She raised her hand and slapped him hard.
The sharp sound echoed crisply through the quiet room.
Clayton’s head snapped to the side. He froze, looking utterly shocked. It was an expression he almost never showed.
It was the first time he’d ever been slapped. As he grew up, his parents had never laid a finger on him. Even when Rupert was furious, the most he’d do was tap him a couple of times with his cane.
And after he married Sienna, she had never refused him. Even if she resisted at first, she would always end up yielding
eventually.
But as Clayton looked down at her now, he found that the eyes that usually held a hint of tenderness were filled with pure rejection. He knew then that Sienna wasn’t playing hard to get.
A complicated emotion surged in Clayton’s heart but faded moments later.
Just then, a sudden warm rush surged from his nose.
Beneath him, the disheveled Sienna blurted in surprise, “You’ve got a nosebleed.”
She hadn’t expected that slap to pack this much punch. Inwardly, she cursed and thought he’d better not try to blame her.
Clayton remained stunned as the blood streamed out from his nose.
Seeing that it was about to drip onto her, Sienna hurriedly said, “Why are you still keeping your head lowered? Are you dumb or what?”
She pushed him away and sat up. This time, he didn’t resist. He turned his face upward and sat down on the couch.
Sienna grabbed a few tissues from the table and pressed them to the bridge of his nose. “Hurry up and plug it. Are you trying to bleed yourself out?”
For once, Clayton behaved. He tilted his head back obediently and let her fuss over him.
Seeing how wretched he looked, Sienna couldn’t help mocking him. “Is your brain full of explicit junk? Has it gotten too much to the point that your body can’t take it?”
Clayton shot her a sidelong look. Even when his nose was bleeding, it didn’t stop him from retorting coldly, “That’s all thanks to your exclusive meal.”
Sienna froze for a moment, then burst out in raucous laughter upon realizing what he meant. “Serves you right for eating it

all!”
She hadn’t expected him to actually eat it. After all, he had called so furiously to question her. She had assumed he would toss it straight into the trash.
Clayton stared at her gloating expression and suddenly reached out to pinch her cheek. “Try laughing again, Sienna. Go on.”
Swatting his hand away, she shot back, “Try, and I’ll die.”
She turned and strode off briskly. “Clean up yourself, Mr. Hale.”
Sienna had wanted to mock him further. But then, his primal urges might flare up at any moment. What if he grabbed her again and refused to let her go? She decided it was better to be cautious.
At the doorway, she turned back and added, “I suggest you take a cold shower tonight to cool it off a bit. You can contact those high–quality matchmaking candidates if you have needs. I’m going to sleep.”
As Clayton watched her walk away, his chest heaved up and down with anger. How many times had she pissed him off today, exactly?
