The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 575: Chapter 575 If I’m Not Greedy, I’ll Regret It for a Lifetime_1

Shirley Miller blinked her eyes, didn’t dodge, but her face flushed red.

The kiss lasted for quite a while.

Gentle yet passionate.

Shirley Miller placed her hand on Carson Flores’s chest, lightly pushed him, and Carson came back to his senses, taking a step back with a fervent look in his eyes.

Shirley Miller’s face was rosy, and her eyes carried an added softness of a woman’s charm.

She and Carson were legally married, having received their marriage certificate, and their feelings had fermented over the past half year, turning into a deep and genuine affection.

When she went to Gunner Tate, identifying herself as Carson’s wife, her heart had already made a decision, which was why she didn’t refuse.

”You’re covered in dust, go take a shower.”

Carson smiled and let go of Shirley Miller, ”Okay!”

Shirley Miller watched Carson’s retreating back, pursed her lips slightly, her eyes showing a touch of shyness.

That was her first kiss, after all.

Shirley Miller’s thoughts involuntarily turned to Samantha Tate, and she couldn’t help pouting – that guy had to choose her own cousin.

Men, huh!

Carson quickly cleaned up and came out, drying his hair, and asked, ”Have you had dinner yet?”

Shirley Miller answered, ”I had a little something earlier.”

Carson laughed, ”Then I’ll order some late-night snacks. I’m too lazy to go out; let’s eat something in the room.”

Shirley Miller smiled with a tight lip, ”Okay.”

Women generally take longer with their baths, and by the time Shirley Miller walked out with her hair dried, the late-night snacks had arrived, complete with barbecue, braised delicacies, and red wine.

”Want a drink?”

Shirley Miller, wearing a bathrobe, walked over and sat down on the chair, her fair and delicate legs crossed at an angle, presenting an enticing allure.

”Weren’t you hurt?”

Carson laughed, ”It’s not a big problem.”

Carson poured wine for both of them, clinked glasses, and smiled, ”Can you talk about what you’ve been through during this time?”

Shirley Miller smiled, ”You may.”

Carson nodded, ”It’s been half a year since we’ve seen each other.”

Shirley Miller looked at Carson with a beaming smile, ”Yeah, in half a year you’ve done quite a lot.”

Carson felt a bit awkward, touched his nose, ”Which aspects are you referring to?”

”All of them.”

Shirley Miller chuckled lightly: ”When I left, you had just become a Grandmaster. By the time I returned, you were already an Innate Grandmaster, and a strong one at that. You even have treasures like a storage ring. Do you know that even among the cultivators in the Blessed Land of Cave Heavens, not everyone has a storage ring...”

Carson heaved a sigh of relief; he thought she was talking about Samantha Tate.

”Even though I’m in the mortal world, I’m like a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, aren’t I? We’re just at a disadvantage because of the scarce Spiritual Energy.”

Shirley Miller looked at Carson and smiled, ”What, thought I was talking about little Xie? Were you feeling embarrassed just now?”

Carson’s expression stiffened, knowing that sooner or later, he would have to take a stance on the matter. And hadn’t his aunt already spoken to her?

It wasn’t a big issue!

Carson spoke earnestly, ”The matter with Yueyue is my fault, but as things stand now, whether you ask me to let go of you or her, I can’t do it. You can call me greedy, call me fickle, but I won’t let go.”

Shirley Miller looked into Carson’s bright, clear eyes, and suddenly laughed, ”Look at that greedy face of yours!”

Carson watched Shirley Miller laugh, and a wave of relief washed over him.

”I have to be greedy. If I’m greedy, the worst I get is scolded by you, but if I’m not, I’d regret it for a lifetime.”

Shirley Miller suddenly spoke, ”When little Xie was injured, you gave up your own opportunity to enter one of the top ten Cave Heavens, the Heavenly Mountain Cave, and sent her there instead. As her sister, I’m truly grateful to you for that, and it’s one of the main reasons why I ultimately decided to stay.”

Carson chuckled bitterly, ”Yueyue was hurt because of me, so it’s my responsibility to heal her. An opportunity in the Heavenly Mountain Cave is just that – I even feel like I’ve earned more from it. Otherwise, if we both became cultivators and she remained a mortal, we would be worlds apart and inevitably have to separate...”

”We’re separated now as well.”

Shirley Miller sighed, ”Cultivation really does allow people to break free from life’s shackles, but it can also make one’s heart grow cold. To become stronger, to ascend to higher realms, to live longer, many are willing to sell everything. Your actions are particularly precious. Yueyue has entered the Heavenly Mountain Cave, but what about you? What will you do in the future?”

Carson grinned, ”Have you forgotten about the Heaven’s Prophecy jade?”

Shirley Miller’s eyes lit up, ”Is the Heaven’s Prophecy jade also a key?”

Carson nodded, ”The Heaven’s Prophecy jade is the key to the Nutwood Heavenly Cave. I’ve learned the location of the Gatekeeper. I can enter the Nutwood Heavenly Cave whenever I want. What about you, which Blessed Land of Cave Heavens are you in?”

Shirley Miller answered, ”Rajevols.”

Carson’s eyes widened, ”The one in the sea?”

Shirley Miller nodded, ”Yes, the Three Divine Mountains of Rajevols—Rajevols, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou. I went to Rajevols, it’s not part of the Blessed Land of Cave Heavens, but it has the same nature...”
