Chapter 403 The Trickster Groomer
Josh sat at his table, eyes fixed on Mia the entire time.
He couldn’t help but pull out his phone and record everything she did.
When Lauren tossed the bouquet and Mia caught it, her whole face lit up with joy–she practically sparkled with happiness.
Josh stared, a little dazed.
She wasn’t the most stunning woman he’d ever seen, but something about her was magnetic–undeniably alluring
The wedding was lavish. Everyone present was in great spirits, drinking freely.
Mia drank quite a bit too.
It was her first time drinking. Her cheeks were flushed bright pink, and she swayed unsteadily on her feet.
She staggered toward the restroom.
Her steps were wobbly–she looked like she could fall at any moment.
“These heels are awful,” she muttered, clearly annoyed.
Then she kicked them off altogether.
Barefoot, she stepped onto the cold marble floor with her pale, delicåte feet.
Josh saw her and shook his head with a laugh.
He bent down to pick up her shoes, planning to put them back on her feet.
At that moment. Mia–completely tipsy–could barely see who was in front of her.
I don’t wanna wear them.”
You’ll get sick walking barefoot,” Josh said gently.
But Mia refused “No, they’re uncomfortable.”
Josh looked at her, exasperated. “You really won’t wear them?”
“Nope.”
Josh sighed and looked at her for a moment. Then he stood, holding her heels in one hand, and with the other, scooped her
up into his arms.
Mia wrapped her arms around his neck, her whole body pressed against his.
Maybe it was the alcohol, but her skin was burning. Her cheeks were hot.
Her small face leaned against his chest, clinging to the coolness of his body.
“You’re really comfy… I like it
She lifted her head, her rosy face brushing against the chiseled lines of his jaw.
Her warm lips grazed his mouth.
Josh’s pupils trembled. His body went rigid.
His voice dropped hoarsely. “Mia, behave yourself”
But Mia couldn’t hear him. Even if she could, her brain wasn’t processing anything.

She kept nuzzling into him, soft and clingy
O
Josh exhaled a shaky breath. “You really don’t make life easy”

“Good thing you ran into me. Anyone else, and who knows what could’ve happened to you.”
Just the thought of another man touching Mia filled Josh with rage.
He didn’t understand himself–why he was acting this way over a woman he’d only just met.
+8 Pearls
Normally, he wouldn’t even drive a strange woman anywhere, much less hold an umbrella for her, or carry her around like
this
But now, looking down at the way she nestled into his arms like a lazy kitten, completely defenseless, he whispered:
You started this. So when you wake up. don’t pretend it didn’t happen.”
Josh carried Mia into a private lounge.
He placed her gently on the bed. But her arms were still tightly looped around his neck, and he was pulled down with her.
Their noses almost touched. The distance between them was almost nothing
So close that Josh could see every detail of her face.
His throat tightened. It took every ounce of control not to lose it.
He carefully unwrapped her arms from around his neck.
He stood, ready to leave.
But a sudden thought struck him.
He didn’t want to walk away like this. He needed to leave a mark, something to make sure she wouldn’t forget him.
Then it hit him and his lips curled into a sly smile.
He took off his suit jacket and tossed it on the floor. Then he yanked open the collar of his white dress shirt–two buttons flew
off from the force
Still not satisfied, he ran a hand through his hair, mussing it up until it looked like someone had thoroughly ravished him.
Now he looked like a decent man who’d just been taken advantage of
He placed his necktie in Mia’s hand, then leaned down to rest beside the bed.
No one knew how much time passed before the alcohol started to wear off.
Min slowly woke up, her head heavy.
But the moment she saw the man slumped beside her bed, she gasped in shock.
Josh stirred, faking a groggy expression. He lifted his head, eyes drowsy.
“What’s wrong?”
Mia’s brows drew together. “What… what did you do to me?”
