Chapter 17
Regardless, since Talia enters the Snyder family, we will certainly not stand idly by
Talia was crucial in Clifford’s potential awakening, and the doctors have mentioned that Clifford seems to soon. At this critical juncture, no mistakes can be allowed; Eddie pondered.

“Take care of it, he said, with no emotion in his voice.
Hanley understood immediately, thinking, ‘Mr. Snyder had always sided with family over principle; who would dare to seek justice for those who have been beaten! They’ll have to swallow the injustice.
After returning, Talia was still depressed by Rolf’s words and actions.
Although Sandra and her friends were beaten and seemed like the losers on the surface, someone cared about them and stood up for them.
Sandra’s substitute.
In contrast, Talia’s four biological brothers didn’t care about her well–being and were even crowdfunded to have her marry as S
Her father, for his interests, was determined to hand her over for a beating.
The more she thought about it, the more depressed she felt.
Al dinner, she drank a whole bottle of wine, trying to drown her sorrows in alcohol
Suddenly, her phone rang. “Hello…” Her voice was weak, clearly drunk.

“Why did you hit Sandra What right do you have to hit her? Talla, get back here right now and apologize to her On the other end of the line, her second brother Max’s reprimanding voice came through. He was in the entertainment industry, busy filming on location lately
“You’re back?” Talia asked
“Yes, I’m back. I’m warning you: don’t think you can bully Sandra just because I’m not at home. You’d better apologize to her, or I’ll personally make sure Sandra gets justice!”
“They kept mentioning Sandra. They can only see Sandra. It was as if the whole world revolved around Sandra. The thought fueled Talia’s frustration into full–blown anger.
Did she save your life that you’re so protective of her! Let me tell you, I will never apologize to her. Sandra owes me. I never owe her anything!” she shot back.
What does she owe your Can you be reasonable for once?
“Go ask Rolf, ask him why he left me behind, why he only took Sandra with him, why he didn’t care about my life! Finishing venting, Talia hung up the phone and then let out a self–mocking sneer.
“Humph… That coward would never admit to abandoning me, would he?” she muttered.
Every time she brought up the past hysterically, Rolf would evade the topic.
“What have I done wrong? Why did everyone treat me so badly? Remembering her plight, Talia felt an overwhelming sadness.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her–she remembered she was married. At times like these, she shouldn’t be suffering alone but should go to her husband, lean on his shoulder, and find solace in his embrace
Without delay, she set off
Dur to the alcohol, a rosy blush colored her cheeks. She stared at the man lying motionless on the bed, lost in thought
“Damn it, how could I have forgotten that he was in a comat He couldn’t even hold me, let alone offer a comforting word. Disappointed, a flicker of unwillingness suddenly ignited in her eyes.
‘So what if you’re in a coma? Does that mean you don’t have to do anything? No way! In the next second, she pounced forward
Considering that Clifford was unconscious and lying down for a long time would cause skin ulcers, his bed was exceptionally soft
When Talia threw herself onto it, the bed sunk.

She quietly rested against Clifford’s chest, listening to his strong and regular heartbeat.
It certainly was effective. She felt a bit of comfort from the heartbeat
Indeed, even the warmth of a comatose person was a million times better than her physically intact family.
Just an embrace was not enough. Suddenly, she left the man’s embrace, looking at him with burning eyes.
At this moment, a strong desire for possession surged within her.
“You’re so handsome. Can I kiss you?”
Of course, she got no reply.
“You’re not saying no, so I’ll take that as a yes,
There was still no reply from the man.
The next second, she wrapped her arms around Clifford’s head and kissed him.
With a click, she killed the lights, the room plunging into darkness
Only the moonlight streaming through the window witnessed her every move.

Perhaps it was the alcohol taking effect, or maybe hormones playing tricks, but after that kiss, she couldn’t stop and began to enjoy
njoy the sensation
‘So this is what it feels like to take advantage of someone, huh? It really is quite marvelous, utterly addictive, she thought, her kisses growing more frenzied
Her arms holding him gradually tightened.
She allowed herself to sink into this wonderful tenderness, unwilling to face the cold, heartless reality.
It’s quite nice to be like this forever; she said inwardly.
The night was silent.
In the midst of her passionate kiss, the man who had been allowing her to do as she pleased suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness.
Before any thoughts could form in his mind, he abruptly realized he was being violated by a woman.
Rage flared instantly
He flipped over, pinning the woman beneath him. In the dark, his fierce eyes glared at the bold woman beneath him.
“How dare you!” His deep, magnetic voice, tinged with anger, suddenly rang out.
Feeling the real embarrassment brought by being heavily pressed down at this moment, Talia was dumbfounded.
She hadn’t expected that the man, who doctors had been helpless with and whose only hope had been in superstitious rituals, would wake up not long after she kissed him….
es met each other’s. It was impossible for her not to panic.
Their eyes
She swallowed hard, calmed herself down, and thought about how to respond.
With a click, the light switched on, illuminating the room instantly.
They clearly saw each other’s faces, both taken aback.
Talia’s heart sank, and she was worried that Clifford might recognize her as the renowned Cipher Zero.
She remained silent, merely displaying an expression of being started.
Trained professionally, she could easily control any expression.
Usually, she just couldn’t be bothered to put on an act
You are the woman my grandfather unilaterally arranged for me marry?

Talia was taken aback, asking a hit awkwardly. “How did you know?”
She considered a possibility. “No way
Although Clifford was unconscious, his mind was awake and able to hear sounds. He was aware of everything happening around him but just couldn’t wake up
As Taha kissed and hugged him just moments ago, a primitive instinct was triggered in his body, which unexpectedly jolted him awake
She’s quite interesting,” he thought, asking. “You want me, don’t you?”
Talu had thick skin, but that was only in front of the comatose Clitord
Now that he was awake, staring right at her, and exposing her thoughts, she felt a mix of embarrassment and anxiety, her face turning red, unable to atter a word.
“Speak, and I can satisfy your wish, Clifford said.
