Chapter 280
The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife
Grace was shocked.
Ederâs brain is so good!
She thought about how to fool him and let him pull her back to the master bedroom.
As soon as she sat on the edge of the bed, Eder leaned closer to her, and stretched out his knuckled fingers, about to unzip her jeans.
Grace glared at him in disbelief. âYou want to strip me naked to check my injuries?â
âOtherwise? Show me your calves, thighs, and buttocks.â
If he didnât confirm with his own eyes that she was safe and sound, he would not be at easel Grace tightly grasped the bottom of her trousers and moved her butt back, far away from him. She braced herself up and accused him with her eyes, âEder, you bastard! I donât believe that you just want to check my injuries! Youâre not being honest when youâre sick. I really owe you this time! Eder really hadnât thought about that this time, and all his thoughts were on whether Grace was hurt in her return.
âNo, whatâs more, I havenât had a look at your whole body. Let me see whatâs wrong. Are you guilty?â
Graceâs eyebrows tightened. It seemed that he wonât let her go today?
She bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with resentment, as if she was hurt by his words.
âI have no guilty conscience. I said it just now. My eldest brother didnât embarrass me, but you still donât believe it!â
As if she is getting angrier the more she spoke, she counterattacked and pushed him down on the bed, then straddled him, caging his wrist with her hands, preventing him from moving.
To be honest, she liked Eder in his weak state, Easy to pounce, easy to tease, really want to bully him!
Allowing her to instantly gain an absolute advantage.
âHow dare you doubt me? Your trust in me is so weak? Think about the hurtful things you told me yesterday. But I trust you so much, so I didnât get mad at you. But what about you? You even suspect that Iâm lying!â
Eder was shocked by her remarks, and his already pale face became even paler.
He just didnât believe Chris.
However, he couldnât stand Graceâs hurt eyes and questioning tone.
Especially yesterdayâs incident, he felt ashamed and speechless. He didnât know how to explain his insistence on the injury.
His thoughts were completely taken into the ditch by Graceâs words, Unable to refute, he could only purse his thin lips with a gloomy expression, his eyelashes trembled slightly, his head drooped weakly, and he was weak and sick.
Graceâs white fingers moved to his pale cheeks to soothe his melancholy emotions. She resisted the urge to laugh and said in a serious tone:
âCubs who know how to admit their mistakes, I forgive them and kiss them as a reward. But cubs who donât admit their mistakes, Iâll take care of them at home, so Edgar, do you know that youâre wrong?â
Ederâs tone changed to aggrieved, âWrong.â
âWhat did you do wrong?â
âI didnât trust you, and doubted you.â
âThen are you still pulling my pants?â
Someone obediently shook his head.
âHow cute!â
Grace was satisfied. Although she did not show it on her face, she was actually laughing wildly in her heart.
Edgar, who was so delicate and frail, was really asking for a bully! She couldnât put it down!
She fulfilled her words and leaned over to kiss his thin lips.
Eder was addicted to his kisses, unable to extricate himself.
His soul was almost taken by this little goblin. How could he think rationally about whether he was being tricked by her?
His breathing became more and more rapid, and it felt like it was coming.
Just as his hands were restless and he was about to break through the line of defense, Grace ended the kiss in time.
âGraceâ¦â
Eder was depressed.
He really wanted to eat, but he couldnât!
So miserable!
Grace could see the meaning in his eyes and said firmly, âNo way! This is for the sake of your body.
When youâre well, you can do whatever you want.â
Ederâs eyes drooped and he didnât say anything.
His illness was probably not going to get better. Could it be that he wouldnât be able to eat meat in the future?
âBefore I die, you might as well let me to try more.â
Grace frowned, pinched his cheek but did not use any force and said seriously, âFrom now on, you are not allowed to talk about death! With me here, you are not allowed to give up the hope of living any time, do you hear me?â
âOkayâ¦â
Eder replied in a low voice. He knew his physical condition best, but he did not want Grace to worry.
Grace felt lus answer perfunctory, and pinched his cheek with both of her hands. âSpeak louder, 1 didnât hear you clearly!â
âOkay!â
Grace then let go of his hand and rubbed the check she had just pinched.
Her mind was distracted.
She remembered Nickâs matter. And although she did not know whether Nickâs words were true or not, it was the only breakthrough so far. She could only choose to believe Nick once.
But if it was true, should she agree to Nickâs last two conditions?
The more she thought about it, the more complicated her mood became.
She wants to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings between her and Eder in the future.
She held Ederâs face in both hands and said in a cautious tone, âEder, we should trust each other the most, so no matter what happens in the future, you must unconditionally believe in me and trust my heart, can you promise me?â
Eder looked at her, and nodded without hesitation, uttering in utmost seriousness, âI will.â
Grace patted his forehead contentedly, âHave you taken your medicine tonight?â
âEder frowned and shook his head.
âHoney, wait.â
Grace let go of him, got out of bed, and left the room A minute later, she brought a glass of warm water, took Ederâs pill box, and returned to the room.
Ederâs black eyes were dim, and the corner of his mouth was disgusted looking at the dozen or so colourful pills that she pick with great pleasure.
It was useless to eat anyway, and it was a huge pain.
He didnât like it.
âIâm pretty full right now. I donât really want to drink water. Why donât I eat later?â
Grace could see his intentions, so she stood still, stretched her hand forward, and looked firmly in his eyes. âBe obedient and drink your medicine.â
Eder shook his head, wrapped his arms around her waist and rubbed his head in her arms, as he murmured softly, âI really donât like to eat.â
Grace was annoyed.
This bastard was acting like a spoiled brat, not taking his own body seriously at all.â
âEat!â Her tone was stern.
Eder tightened his hands around her waist.
Seeing her being fierce, he raised his face and stared at her with his black eyes, his pale and sleepy complexion was very fragile.
Grace sighed.
In terms of pretending to be pitiful, she seemed to be far worse than Eder.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and resisted the urge to the someone up and force the pills.
into someoneâs mouth.
She kept reminding himself that he is now a patient!
Be gentle! Be patient! Pamper him!
âThen how can I make Edgar be willing to take medicine?â She calmed down and smiled.
Eder thought for a while, then looked at her innocently, âI want you to feed me.â
âThatâs alright! Come on, let me feed you. First, take a drink.â
Eder frowned, and shook his head to the other side, rejecting the water she handed to his lips. Graceâs hand holding the water cup tightened, and once again warned herself, be patient!
âStill not eating? How does Edgar want me to feed him?â
The corner of Ederâs mouth curved, and he smiled evilly. âI want you to feed me using your mouth.â
Grace: â?â
