Chapter 717 A Bite âMr. Green, can you leave and let me sleep here?â
âNo, Iâll be staying here to watch over you,â Adam declined gently.
âI can shout your name if I need you.â
Adam didnât want to leave Emmelineâs side, but he didnât want to cross her either. Before he left, he caressed Emmelineâs cheek. Almost instinctively, Emmeline tried to grab hold of Adamâs wrist. But Adam was quick enough to withdraw his hand.
âEmma!â
âDonât call me that, pervert!â Now that Emmeline regained some of her vigor, she decided to defend herself.
âDammit!â Adam dodged but did not retaliate, even though Emmeline would never stand a chance against him. As Emmeline lurched forward, she tripped over.
âAh!â
Adam caught Emmeline in his embrace. But the next thing he knew, Emmeline had already dug her teeth into his shoulder.
âOuch!â Adam raised his palm to slap Emmeline, but he decided against it. He allowed Emmeline to bite him.
âEmma, do you feel better now?â Emmeline only let go after she tasted blood in her mouth. âYou bit me. But I donât mind it. As long as you didnât hurt yourself.â
If Emmeline could see, she would notice that Adam was trying his best to be the sweetest person there was. Adam left Emmeline alone after the short brawl. He couldnât take another tantrum anymore.
âAre you all right, Mr. Anthony?â asked a servant when she saw the blood on Adamâs shirt.
âFind me a doctor now.â
âYes, Mr. Anthony.â
âAnd let me know once the soup is ready. I will feed her myself.â
âYes, sir.â
The doctor came and treated Adamâs wound. As Adam changed his bloodied shirt, he suddenly recalled something. Moments ago, when Emmeline fell into his embrace, she was mere inches away from his beard. Fortunately, he had turned his head away. Otherwise, Emmeline would have easily guessed who he was through his voice and beard. After this realization, Adam shaved his beard.
His clean-shaven face made him look younger. Now maybe that would be enough to impress Emmeline
