Chapter 546

Maurice stretched out his hand to touch Eliana. However, she suddenly hit him.

“What do you think you are doing? I need to take a bath!”

Eliana wrapped her hands around her body and didn’t let Maurice touch her.

Although Maurice was turned on at the sight of Eliana’s naked body, he was not a pervert. Since Eliana

insisted on taking this bath, he could only help her and suppress his desire.

It was very hard. Actually, he too had to take a cold shower later on in order to suppress his burning

desire.

After the bath, he helped Eliana get dressed and sat her on the bed to dry her hair.

But due to the alcohol, Eliana became more restless and began to struggle. Maurice was holding the

hair dryer with one hand and his other hand was on her shoulder.

But as he was not accustomed to using hair dryers, let alone helping a woman with her hair, an

accident was inevitable. The hair dryer sucked Eliana’s hair, and suddenly there was a burning smell in

the air.

“Ah! It hurts!” Eliana screamed, holding her hair.

Maurice immediately turned off the hair dryer. However, Eliana’s hair was still stuck in it.

She frantically tried to pull her hair out, but all it did was hurt her scalp even more.

She pouted in anger and tears welled up in her eyes.

Looking at her angry face, Maurice couldn’t help thinking she was very cute. He leaned over and kissed

her cheek. “Don’t move. Be quiet. I’ll handle this,” he said gently.

Unexpectedly, his kiss made Eliana calm down. She sat on the bed quietly, staring blankly at him.

Maurice quickly grabbed a pair of scissors to cut her hair which had been sucked into the hair dryer.

However, Eliana held her hair with her hands, not allowing him to cut her hair. She looked at him

pitifully and complained, “No way! It will make me ugly!”

Maurice was speechless. He pried her hands open and insisted on cutting the hair. “We have to cut it,”

he said as he cut off a strand of her hair.

Eliana went nuts.

It took Maurice a long time to coax her. Then, he continued drying her hair while keeping her still.

Eliana gradually calmed down. When her hair grew dry, she fell asleep.

Now that she was finally silent, Maurice could look at her carefully.

They hadn’t seen each other for a few days. She seemed to have lost much weight, and her face was a

little tanned. There were dark circles under her eyes, which made her look very tired.

Maurice couldn’t help frowning.

Where on earth had she been these days? How did she end up like this?

He had thought she had left to find Jonathan, but it turned out that was not the case. So why was she

in such a hurry to leave? Did she just want to escape from him?

So many questions were going through Maurice’s mind right now, and anger was rising in his heart. He

wanted to wake her up to ask.

However, when he got close to Eliana, she snuggled into his arms and rubbed her face against his

chest in her sleep.

How could Maurice still be angry with this adorable woman? He swallowed his words.

He held her gently and kissed her forehead.

“Eliana… What should I do about you?”

Maurice eventually gave up. He let her sleep. He took off his clothes and lay in the bed. Then, he held

her tightly in his arms. The two slept, cuddling in each other’s arms.

In the middle of the night, Maurice faintly felt Eliana move in his arms. Then he clearly felt her get out of

his arms.

He immediately woke up and grabbed her hand.

“Where are you going?”

Still very sleepy, Eliana didn’t even open her eyes. She replied in her sleep, “I want to have some

water…”
