章節 187: Guilty Mother-In-Law, Shameless Son In Law

Ten hours passed, and no new assassin came to the resort, so Klaus could finally relax. His mother-in-law, Cynthia, had fallen into a deep sleep from exhaustion. Klaus stayed awake the whole time, his mind drifting, trying not to focus too much on the tempting body lying next to him.

After those ten hours, Cynthia woke up, looking more recovered. Her face had regained its color. But as soon as she became aware of the position she was in, she quickly moved away, her expression slightly flustered.

"I'm a terrible mother," she muttered, probably thinking back on what had happened between her and Klaus. It had been an intimate moment, much more than it was ever meant to be. 

She had been the one to suggest the kiss during the planning phase, but now, remembering how heated things had gotten, guilt washed over her.

"I wouldn't say that," Klaus replied with a smile. "From the way I see it, you played your role quite well. No need to feel guilty, Mother-in-law."
