Chapter 375

---- Chapter 375 Giselle had wanted to lose her temper, but she forced herself to endure it. She wrapped her arms around him again and pleaded , "Can. you stop being so ridiculous? I'm a married woman. What could I possibly do with him? I just dropped the dog off at his house and left." Donovan shoved her with such force that she crashed to the floor. He immediately pulled out his phone, tapped open a picture on WhatsApp, and threw it in front of her. "How do you plan on explaining this?" he demanded. Giselle sat frozen on the floor before picking up his phone.

Her heart jolted when she saw the photo. It showed her in Gideon's arms in the living room just a couple of hours ago. Achill swept through her, leaving her at a loss. When she handed the phone back, she noticed the photo had been sent by one of Donovan's WhatsApp contacts. The profile picture was of a child, and the name displayed was "Cecilia". Only then did she realize it was Cecilia who had sent it to him. While Giselle had been inside, Cecilia must have been standing outside the villa, waiting for the right angle to snap the photo. She had then sent it straight to Donovan.

Realizing this, Giselle felt both furious and helpless. ---- Faced with the photo, Giselle knew there was no way to deny it. She forced herself to stay calm and explained softly, "It isn't what it looks like. I went to his house this afternoon to return the dog and happened to run into him in the living room. "He was drunk, surrounded by women, and out of his mind. He grabbed me and said some nonsense. I didn't entertain him. I pushed him away and left right after." Even though she was telling the truth, Giselle herself felt uncertain as the words left her lips.

Donovan's eyes flashed with an icy fury that only grew sharper with every word she spoke. He stared at her relentlessly, as if his gaze alone could drill a hole straight through her. "Have you forgotten who you are now?" he asked through clenched teeth. The oppressive atmosphere made Giselle feel suffocated. She knew she was at fault, so she tried to coax him. "Enough already. If you really let this photo convince you and blow things out of proportion, then you're giving them exactly what they want. Our marriage would be destroyed by their schemes.

Is that really what you want?" Donovan still glared at her in silence. "Forgive me," Giselle whispered , before suddenly pressing her lips against his ina forceful kiss. She kissed him fiercely, ---- hoping to break through his anger. Crude as the attempt was, it worked. Under her fervent kisses, her burning breath, and her skilled touch, Donovan's anger slowly crumbled. His defenses collapsed, leaving him unable to push her away. At last, he seized control, gripping the back of her head with one hand and her chin with the other, kissing her fiercely until her breath was completely stolen.

Then, he threw her down onto the bed. "This must never happen again," he warned darkly, his breathing ragged. "If I ever catch you a second time, you know what the consequences will be." Giselle lay on the bed, still trying to catch her breath after the kiss. "I know," she replied with a playful smile. ''Relax. Since I married you, of course I'll behave like a proper wife." However , Donovan didn't seem convinced . He turned away, staring into the distance with a stone-cold expression. "T can give you anything you want, but only if you are completely loyal to me.

What kind of woman you were before and what you did in the past no longer matters. But now that we are married, I'll take back everything I have given you if you ever betray me." Hearing the threat in his words, Giselle could no longer laugh. She stared at the danger lurking in his handsome features. After a long silence , she climbed out of bed and wrapped her ---- arms around him again.
