Chapter 25: For My Own Good?
Rex leaned forward slightly as he sized up Wendy.
“The girl on the phone is my sister.”
Wendy held her breath and her eyes immediately lit up. “I told you that I don’t care……”
She blushed and quickly looked away, not daring to look at Rex.
He laughed. “Forget it. Since you don’t care, I won’t say anything.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked upstairs. Wendy was anxious as she asked, “Why are you going to bed so early?”
“It’s getting late.” Rex pointed at the quartz clock hanging on the wall of the living room. “It’s nine o’clock.”
Wendy replied in a muffled voice before she went upstairs as well.
She pushed the door open and went in. After walking around, she did not see Rex. It was not until she heard the sound of running water in the bathroom that she realized that he had gone to the bathroom.
Her mind immediately outlined the man’s strong muscles. Wendy’s ears were hot as she threw herself on the bed and rolled around.
“Ah, ah, Wendy, what are you thinking about? How can you be so impure!”
Wendy lowered her voice and warned herself fiercely. Then she glanced at the tightly closed bathroom door and thought to herself, “Why did Rex tell me all this today?”
“He’s putting my head in the clouds?”
“No, no, no. How could a man as high and mighty as he cares about my feelings?”
“He must have some unspeakable purpose. It must be like this!”
Wendy got up on her knees and quickly brushed the dark blue sheets with her hands, in case Rex would be angry after seeing the mess.
By the time Rex came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, Wendy had already snuggled into the quilt. His dark eyes narrowed but he did not say anything.
He directly lifted the quilt and got in it.
The man’s masculine scent blew against her face and Wendy curled up into a ball. She could feel that Rex was lying beside her and his breathing was very steady.
With her back to Rex, her heart was pounding. “Um…… Can we talk about something?”
“Speak.”
“I…… Ahem, you know that we are married by contract. Why don’t I sleep next door? I heard from the butler that there are still many empty rooms in the villa.”
“Don’t think about it.”
In the dark, the scent of Wendy came to his nose, and he felt as if all the blood in his body was rushing to a certain place.
“You want to sleep in separate rooms with me?” Rex asked.
“Don’t you think it’s embarrassing for us to sleep in the same bed……”
“I don’t think so.” Rex wrapped his hand around Wendy’s waist. His hand was firmly pressed against her chest, and Wendy’s eyes abruptly widened.
She held her breath and could feel the heat of his body behind her.
“Sleep. If you don’t, I’ll throw you out of the window!”
……
Wendy wanted to cry but had no tears. She thought to herself, “Come on, how can I sleep with your arm on my chest?”
However, after thinking of what he did in the past, Wendy did not dare to act rashly.
After all, he even dared to ask her to beat her sister. If she offended him one day, she would have to bear the consequences.
In the dark, Rex’s breathing gradually calmed down. The feeling of having beauty in his embrace made him feel very comfortable.
The next morning, when the butler saw the faint smile in Rex’s eyes, he nodded in satisfaction.
It seemed that his assistance was quite good.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
When Rex saw that Wendy was just holding a bowl of porridge, he picked up a big mouthful of vegetables and threw it into her bowl.
“!”
Wendy frowned at him. “What are you doing!?”
“Eat more vegetables,” Rex ordered in a commanding tone, and his sharp eyes swept across her chest. “You are too thin. Others will say that I abused you when we go out.”
“But I don’t like green vegetables!”
“Then swallow it without hesitation!”
His forceful and unquestionable tone made Wendy want to cry, but she had no tears to shed. The butler watched from the side and said with a smile, “Mrs. Gavyn, vegetables are rich in nutrients and are good for your health. Master Gavyn is doing this for your own good. Just eat it.”
“For my own good?!”
“Since it was so nutritious, why didn’t he eat it?” Thought Wendy.
Wendy was furious. She suppressed the anger in her heart and pretended to smile. She also picked up a few pieces of lotus root slices and put them in Rex’s bowl. “There are also many kinds of nutrients in the lotus root slices. Eat more!”
“Have as many as you want!”
Wendy thought angrily, but Rex didn’t say anything. He silently finished all the food in his bowl.
Looking at this scene, the butler sighed in admiration. “Alas, it seems that Master Gavyn and Mrs. Gavyn have a good relationship!”
