Pushed Away 73 Times The Billionaire's Endless Regret

On my seventy-second attempt to kiss Carter Cole, he pushed me away again.

"Vivian, you know I’m sick."

We had been together for three years. But because of a medical certificate claiming he suffered from a "severe touch aversion," Carter never allowed me to touch him. Not even once.

Until last night, outside a VIP lounge at the club, I heard his friends laughing.

"Still playing the monk, Carter? You guys are already engaged. Doesn't the Vance family's precious heiress throw a fit?"

Carter, completely wasted, let out a scoffing laugh.
