Upon hearing this, Jane gave a slight sneer at the corner of her mouth. Just him?
She lifted her head and suddenly plunged into Patrick’s arms, gently rubbing against him a few times.
But Patrick’s face did not ease much. He looked at the villa with some disgust.
Jane asked about Maria’s condition and was relieved to hear that she only had some minor injuries. She specifically gave Maria time off to rest and instructed her agent to take good care of her.
After dealing with Maria’s affairs, Jane and Patrick returned home late at night.
“That bastard Waylen shouldn’t have been let go so easily last time.”
The more Jane thought about it, the angrier she became. Her face darkened as she thought that Waylen should have been locked up in jail for three to five years earlier; otherwise, today’s events would not have happened.
At the same time, Jane also felt somewhat scared.
How could Waylen directly kidnap Maria? It was not something that an uneducated rich second generation like him could do…
Was there another mastermind behind Waylen?
“What are you thinking?” Seeing Jane looking serious, Patrick asked sideways.
“Nothing.” Jane shook her head.
Nowadays, physical exhaustion made it difficult for Jane to think about these things anymore.
“I’m exhausted. I’m going to take a shower.” Stretching lazily, she didn’t notice the slender waist exposed by herself.
Patrick scanned his gaze over it and his eyes flickered slightly.
Jane walked into the bathroom without waiting for an answer from Patrick but he quickly appeared in front of her before she could close the door.
“What is it?” Thinking that there might be something else on Patrick’s mind, she tilted her head curiously asking.
Patrick didn’t answer but quickly slipped into the bathroom and hugged Jane tightly before swallowing all of her soft cries between his lips.
Jane didn’t expect Patrick to suddenly kiss her. She struggled a bit, but was powerless and ended up leaning softly into Patrick’s arms.
After the kiss, Jane blushed, reaching out to lightly tap Patrick’s chest. “What are you doing? You scared me.”
Patrick lowered his head slightly, warm breath brushing against Jane’s neck, making her neck shrink from the ticklish sensation.
“I thought we were going to take a shower together.”
“Patrick!” Jane’s heart raced at Patrick’s tone. She glared at him and said, “Stop teasing. I’m exhausted today. Joseph also…”
Patrick’s eyes flickered with a hint of darkness as if he had thought of something. He pinched Jane’s waist, his tone dangerous. “Joseph was bothering you again today?”
Jane blinked and saw the anger on Patrick’s face, quickly shaking her head. “No…”
She remembered that tomorrow was Joseph’s birthday and she promised to accompany him to the park. Seeing Patrick like this, she decided not to tell him.
Patrick’s eyes darkened and he kissed her lips in a domineering way.
Jane felt weak in the knees from Patrick’s kiss, unable to resist it. A blush crept across her face as she said, “Mr. Pansy is jealous?”
Patrick raised an eyebrow.
Seeing this reaction, Jane took the initiative to stand on tiptoe and gave him a kiss on his lips before bending down with a smile, “That’s for you but now I need to take a shower.”
However, in the next second, Patrick spoke without changing his expression, “You said you were tired right? I can help you.”
This matter-of-fact statement shocked Jane; how could Patrick say such vulgar things while keeping such an indifferent expression?
“Patrick, get out,” Jane couldn’t help but turn her head away from him while pushing at his chest slightly; however, she accidentally hit the switch for the showerhead.
In an instant they were both soaked through by cold water.
Jane shivered from being drenched by cold water and tried frantically turning off the showerhead when suddenly Patrick wrapped his arms around her shielding most of them from getting wet.
The distance between them suddenly narrowed, and Jane was almost pressed against Patrick’s chest. The warmth of their skin transmitted through the thin fabric, and as Jane looked up in a daze, she found herself gazing at Patrick’s chest.
It had to be said that Patrick’s physique was truly perfect. With a habit of unbuttoning a few shirt buttons when he took off his tie, he now revealed exquisite collarbones.
Water droplets, picking up moisture from his hair, slid down his handsome face and eventually disappeared into the collar, creating a tempting scene that made Jane’s cheeks turn red.
Suddenly, a droplet from the shower hit Jane’s eyes, causing her to shake her eyelashes uncontrollably.
Jane, revealing an unexpectedly innocent expression at this moment, made Patrick’s throat tighten.
Sniffling, Jane’s voice was softer than she realized, “Patrick, please stop teasing…”
“Jane.”
Patrick’s voice echoed in her ears, and as Jane looked up, she met his intense gaze. For a moment, she forgot what she wanted to say and simply stared at him with her mouth slightly open.
As Patrick’s gaze gradually lowered, he finally landed on Jane’s bright red lips. His eyes deepened slightly as his arm, which was propped against Jane’s face, bent down a little.
The distance between the two of them quietly closed in as their breaths tangled together bit by bit. The chaotic beating of their hearts sounded like an enchanting spell that left Jane’s mind blank.
Unlike their previous kiss, this one was particularly gentle, as if they wanted to merge each other into their very bones.
The romantic atmosphere gradually heated up and Jane found herself pressed against the wall by Patrick. Her hands were placed on his chest while his strong heartbeat continuously throbbed against her fingertips.
Just then, Patrick’s hand that had been resting on her waist began to move upwards and wandered along her back. Sensing something amiss, Jane’s body moved slightly but she was suppressed by Patrick.
Patrick became more and more restless with his hands slipping under the hem of her clothes. He took a step forward and pushed his knee between Jane’s legs.
Suddenly feeling something hot pressing against her body, Jane came back to reality and pushed Patrick away forcefully.
“No…” Her chest heaved violently as she blushed deeply. She stretched out a hand to push him away from herself saying, “This is not possible… we can only do this after we get married.”
“We can! We’re getting engaged soon,” said Patrick grabbing hold of Jane’s wrist tightly before pinning it onto the wall behind them.
“No! This is absolutely not possible!” said an extremely determined-looking Jane struggling hard in Patrick’s embrace trying to break free from him.
“But I can’t wait any longer,” replied Patrick whose burning desire hadn’t diminished even one bit.
Jane reached out and held onto Patrick’s face before speaking softly with a hint of coquetry in her voice, “Patrick, please? Just for this once? Promise me?”
Patrick didn’t answer; he just stared straight at Jane without moving or saying anything else.
“Patrick?” called out Jane again using a soft tone mixed with coquetry.
Patrick’s lips tightened at the corners, and he leaned in to bite Jane’s fingertip before wrapping himself in a towel and leaving the bathroom.
Another day of taking a cold shower lay ahead.
