âWhat do you want? You control me too much. You should go worry about Pippa; go give her soup. I donât need your care, and sheâs the one in the hospital...â
âMiyamoto will take care of her, she doesnât need me!â He said in a low voice. âMy job is to take care of you!â
She looked at him and saw him smiling gently; he said he wouldnât go.
She drooped her eyelids, and her long eyelashes covered over her eyes and fluttered like the wings of butterflies in the wind. She paused, and perched her lips and said, âStill, I donât need you to take care of me!â
Her voice was a bit low and filled with a hint of sadness; Vincent felt his heart twitch, âLeila...â
Leila didnât know what came over her, and she tightened her hands into a tiny ball.
She looked at him from the corner of her eyes, only to catch him staring at her. His stare seemed to burn a hole right through her, filled with intense concentration.
Why did he stare at her like that?
He let out a deep sigh and softly said, âAlright, be good! Get changed, and weâll go get something to eat!â
Leila was still hesitant; he reached out and hugged her.
âNo-â Leila tried to hide, screaming as she ran out the shower.
Vincent single-handedly restrained her by her shoulder and grabbed her into his arms, âYou wonât get changed because youâre waiting for me to help, right?â
âIâll get changed by myself!â Leila said as she continued to struggle. She pounded on his chest with her hands, her face flushed red. Due to her fever, she ran out of strength quickly.
âLeila, Iâm just helping you get changed; if you wonât behave, I canât promise what happens next.â Vincentâs strong arm held her tightly, and his deep voice had a dangerous hint of flirtatiousness.
Leilaâs body was held down and she couldnât move at all.
She froze in place in his embrace; underneath her top, Vincent saw a trace of her red bra, and his heart began to race faster.
In the hot weather, he suddenly felt aroused; he inhaled deeply. He thought he could control himself, but he was having a reaction.
Leilaâs face was red like a lobster; she said in a low voice, âPervert.â
âJust towards you!â Vincent gazed at her white skin and swallowed hard. He throat was dry and parched like a desert. It was as though a fire that could engulf someone burned inside him!
Damn, he really wanted to have sex with her!
âArenât you afraid Iâll catch a cold?â Leila said, âYou pervert! You sicko, you shameless, degrading pervert!â
âYou little vixen!â Vincent snapped back to his senses and smiled; surely, the rod between his legs was already standing tall, but he knew Leila couldnât do it. He could only let his fire burn in place. Meanwhile, his eyes burned with desire, making him feel as though he was about to go mad!
âHurry and get changed, Iâll be back right away!â
He suddenly rushed into the bathroom, then came the sound of running water and Vincent muttering under his breath. Leila couldnât help but smile;
was he taking a cold shower?
She quickly got changed, but her face was still flushed red. She stole a glance in the direction of the bathroom, and her smile grew even wider. Who knew even he had moments like this! At the same time, she felt a bit melancholic; could she handle this kind of behavior?
Leila headed downstairs to eat. There was a huge selection of delicious food already laid out on the table, showcasing the amount of effort put into the preparation.
âMadam, youâre here already? Soup will be ready in a minute!â Eira said as she just happened to step out the kitchen.
âOh, thanks, Eira! Sorry for the trouble, making you unable to rest while itâs so late already!â Leila said in an apologetic tone.
âOh, donât be so modest! The masterâs so modest as well. You two will make me feel uneasy!â
âHaha, letâs eat together!â Leila said with a laugh.
âIâve eaten already; Iâm too old now, itâs not good for me to eat so late. Iâll get fat easily!â
Leila sat and chatted further with Eira.
Upstairs, Vincent stepped out the shower naked. The cold shower helped to extinguish his intense desires. Unable to see Leila anywhere around, he got dressed and headed downstairs.
On the dining table, he saw Leila already eating. The second she saw Vincent, Eira headed back into the kitchen to give the couple some private time. Vincent stood on the stairs and looked on at Leila, who looked like a doll with her slender figure. Just looking at her, he felt as though he was a ship docked in a safe harbor; he didnât even have the need for words.
Leila didnât raise her head; her face was still a bit red, and she quietly drank her soup.
âHow is it, good?â Vincent asked in a raspy voice, which sounded rather pleasing in a way, filled with a mystifying seduction.
Leila said nothing; she just kept her head down and attempted to finish her soup. She was so tired, and she wanted to hurry upstairs to go sleep!
Vincent smirked, âSo it doesnât taste good?â
âIt doesnât?â Eira popped her head out the kitchen.
Leila suddenly replied, âItâs good, Eiraâs soup is amazing!â
âThatâs fine, then!â
âEira, weâre good here; hurry and go rest!â Vincent said in a low tone.
Eira headed back; she knew Vincent wanted some time with Leila. âMaster, Madam, just leave everything after youâre done. Iâll clean up!â
As Eira scrambled to leave, Vincent sat across from Leila and fetched himself a bowl of soup, âYou little liar, ignoring me?â
Leila didnât understand why he called her that; when did she lie to him?
âYou made me take a cold shower; youâre quite the little vixen, you little liar! Iâm telling you, if it werenât for your fever, I wouldnât have to suppress myself like this. But Iâm doing all this just for you. Otherwise...â
âIâm done!â Leila didnât want to listen to him say these; she stood up and was ready to leave.
âAlright, I was just kidding with you. Drink some more!â Vincent said as he grabbed her arm. âLeila, canât you take a little joke anymore?â
Leila sat back down; the two didnât say anything more. She finished a second serving, and Vincent was about to give her another. âHave more!â
Her fever was burning, so Leila didnât have much of an appetite. âIâm quite full; Iâm rather tired. Iâm going to sleep!â
She stood up again, about to leave.
Vincent grabbed her hand again. âLeila-â
She turned around and saw him blinking at her incessantly. She raised an eyebrow in question, âSomething wrong?â
He remained silent for a bit, then nodded.
She waited for him to say something.
He suddenly stood up, and Leila heard a low, sexy voice whisper into her ear, âLeila, letâs maintain a relationship!â
He actually said it!
Leilaâs mind went blank. What did he just say?
He repeated himself, âLetâs maintain a relationship!â
She finally heard him the second time. He wanted to have a normal relationship with her! Her heart felt like a hundred horses were racing as it pounded incessantly.
âWhy?â Leila couldnât help but blurted out her question.
âWhat do you mean why?â
âWhy... would you suddenly say this?â
âYou little liar! Hurry upstairs to sleep!â He picked her up in one swell swoop.
âAh-â Leila let out a small gasp.
âWhat, donât want to have a relationship with me?â Vincentâs face was extremely close to hers. He brought her upstairs and continued to laugh in a low, menacing, yet tempting tone.
Leilaâs heart was restless, so she instinctively wanted to pull away, âPut me down!â
âHow about I bring you upstairs everyday from now on?â Vincent had on a crooked smile, his expression filled with a naughty, untamable look.
âWhat... do you mean?â Leila said in shock; her head was still in a woozy state. Was she just slow, or did she not know what he was trying to say?
Vincent tightened his grip, his hand that hoisted her butt gave her a slight pat. âYou know, weâll have a normal relationship like others. Others are boyfriend and girlfriend before they get married; weâre the other way around. Why not?â
âThatâs what couples do, you...â Leilaâs eyes dropped down, as if in thought.
âI what?â
âYou donât even love me!â She protested.
âBut you can love me!â He said aloud as he watched her facial expression change. This little liar; she loved him, but still pretended to be innocent.
âI donât love you!â She quickly dejected; then, as if she suddenly thought of something, she said, âWhy should I love you!â
Vincent chuckled heartily, looking at her darting eyes as she pretended not to love him, filled with internal conflict.
She felt insecure, so she wanted to protect herself from getting hurt anymore.
From now on, they still had a long, long way to go. He wished that she could confide in him. Of course, he had to put in the effort.
He placed her into bed, and covered the blanket over her.
âWell, if you donât love me, then forget it!â He feigned. âDon't talk about love, but make love!â
âYou scoundrel!â She impulsively cursed; how could he say such crude words.
âWhat, am I wrong?â Vincent continued, âIsnât love made by making love?â
âI donât want to talk to you!â Leilaâs face was red; she shut her eyes and mouth, then grabbed on to the blanket. She suddenly felt a bit disappointed and wanted to ask him something, but alas refrained herself from asking.
He pulled the blanket aside, and placed his warm body besides her. She was about to struggle, when he shut the lights and whispered next to her ear, âSleep, little liar; sweet dreams!â
He didnât do anything more than just hug her!
Slowly, Leila fell asleep.
The morning rays of sunshine swept in through the cracks in the curtains and lazily crept across the ceiling, creating a beautiful halo.
A Moment in Destiny ï¤Chapter 358 Confused and Helpless The convenient Bride ï¤Chapter 414: There Is Nothing Happier Than This (Ending)
Predestined Marriage ï¤Chapter 1718: The End Maybe it was the morning air, Leila suddenly woke up; she blinked her eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered as they opened. Suddenly, as though she suddenly realized something, her heart began to race. Vincentâs left arm still tightly held her waist, and his topless body showcased his muscular physique.
Leila retracted herself slowly; he held her all night as they slept.
She was still in a daze as she looked on at this man. His eyes were still shut, but his face was handsome and cool.
Last night, he said, âletâs maintain a relationship!â
What did he meant? It was as if a pebble struck the surface of a pond; her heart was incredibly not at ease.
Leila continued to look at Vincentâs sleeping figure. It was only while he was asleep that she dared to look on at him like this. Her slender figures traced the contours of his face.
She loved him! She loved him for five years now!
Unfortunately, he didnât know that. He said, âletâs maintain a relationshipâ. Her heart felt incredibly tense. But after so much pain and suffering, she didnât know if she still had the strength to love him! She didnât have the will to love until no end. She didnât want to end up as a moth in the flames.
