Dorothy’s cheeks turned red from the man’s ribald comment. She bit her lips and hurriedly changed the subject, “Do you want to check if your wound has opened up again?”
It was hard to imagine just how strong this man’s physique was. His leg was clearly badly injured, yet he was still able to make love to her for so long.
“No need to, I’m fine!”
Credence insisted, stopping her. He wrapped his arms around her delicate body and slowly walked her down the stairs. He smiled lazily and asked, “There are still a bunch of people downstairs waiting to celebrate your birthday. Since we’ve left for so long, do you think they’ll be able to guess what we were doing just now?”
Apart from doing what they had just done, what else was there to speculate?
Dorothy found that the more time she spent with him, the more shameless he became. She simply turned her head and ignored him.
The more she gave into his teasing, the more complacent he would become.
Downstairs, in the romantically decorated hall, Jonathan stared at his wristwatch and kept track of the amount of time in which Dorothy and Credence were absent.
Half an hour… one hour… one and a half hours… two hours…
D*mn. They left the party at half-past eight to go to the balcony on the top floor and it’s already half-past eleven, yet they hadn’t come down. Credence must have inhuman strength!
“Must be great to have a wife.” Jonathan thought.
He could do it whenever, wherever he wanted without consideration.
To show off his party planning abilities, Jonathan also specially invited a band to play some sweet songs. The purpose of this party was to let Dorothy completely immerse herself in the romantic atmosphere that Credence created for her so that she wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation and allow him to do whatever he wanted with her…
Seeing that they hadn’t returned after two whole hours, it would mean that Dorothy must have been completely subdued by Credence.
How could he do it so openly? He was practically spitting on this bare branch!
Jonathan began to feel his heart ache from the sudden loneliness. He glumly took a bite of cake and chewed it angrily.
F*ck, after being single for such a long time, he had long turned dry. So much so that he would even think a pig was beautiful.
For some strange reason, Minnie’s figure flashed across his mind. That woman’s graceful figure and delicate little face made his heart race, and then, he got hard.
He had originally thought about bringing that hot little girl over. But she had immediately rejected him before he could even finish his sentence. She told him that she had a loving boyfriend, and she wanted to focus on her job.
F*ck, who cared if she had a boyfriend? Also, who had stopped her from focusing on her job?
When Jonathan was in a bad mood, he tended to calm himself down by eating desserts.
He stuffed another piece of cake into his mouth and chewed it fiercely. When he was about to grab his third piece, he saw Credence escorting Dorothy over to where he was from the corner of his eyes. Their eyes were filled with indescribable passion.
This was especially true for Dorothy. Her cheeks were rosy and her eyes had a charm to them. It was obvious that they had just finished making love with each other a while ago.
Jonathan could only sigh in envy as he thought, “F*ck, Credence really does have a way with women.”
It hasn’t even been that long, and Dorothy had already surrendered herself to Credence, letting him do as he pleased.
When they got closer, Jonathan surprisingly smelled a hint of blood. He immediately jumped to his own conclusions as he squealed, “What the f*ck, Credence, what on earth did you do to Dorothy? Why do I smell blood?”
“I’ll go get some food for the both of us.”
Dorothy’s expression immediately turned uncomfortable. She smiled awkwardly at Jonathan and quickly broke free from Credence’s arm. She pretended to be hungry and walked towards the buffet area.
“It’s just my leg wound. Do you need to make such a big fuss?”
Credence glanced at Jonathan indifferently and said, “A single man like you will never understand how great it feels to do that while injured.” He tried to give Jonathan a stab in the heart.
Jonathan was being mocked again. He covered his chest in pain and cried, “Credence, how could you be so cruel towards your brother? Do you know how many dates I’ve turned down just so that you could make your woman happy?
You got your fun, but what do I get in return? Mockery for being single and not being able to understand your so-called fun. Do you think it’s easy for me?
Boohoo, the whole world is bullying me, I’m so upset!”
“Right, whatever. Be serious for a moment. How did the paternity test go?”
Credence looked over sharply and Jonathan immediately gave in. He then spoke seriously, “Didn’t you tell Benjamin to get a few strands of Leilani’s hair? Benjamin’s nothing but efficient. He has already handed it to me yesterday. The only thing left is Dorothy’s hair! The results will come out in a week at most, or three to four days if we urge them.”
“By the way, Credence, if Leilani really is Dorothy’s mother, what are you going to do? Do you really want to acknowledge this notorious woman as your mother-in-law?”
When he was not being funny, Jonathan was still pretty smart. Every question he asked was on point.
“Rosalie was the one who revealed the information about Madam Chilton. I don’t know what she’s up to, but since she’s trying to push Leilani to make herself known, there must be a reason behind it.”
Credence’s face turned cold at the mention of the vicious woman. His gaze was laced with murderous intentions, “Let’s take it one step at a time, we’ll talk about it after we reach a conclusion.”
Jonathan sighed in agreement, “Oh, Credence, you could have provoked any woman, yet you chose that crazy b*tch! You must’ve been asking for trouble.”
Jonathan thought that he was the clear-headed one among the two of them. He firmly adhered to the principle of never getting tied down to another woman to save himself the trouble of dealing with feelings. He would go to various bars to look for hot girls. All he had to do was pay them and they would have a wonderful night with no strings attached. He could kill two birds with one stone, how great was that?
“If a man and a woman have sex without having any feelings for each other, then would they be any different from animals?”
Credence was sharp and he immediately understood what Jonathan was thinking with just one look. He pursed his thin lips tightly and snorted coldly, “Only when you have found the woman you love will you understand how wonderful it feels to be with her. It feels better than earning billions of dollars.
So, of course, a bachelor like you who doesn’t have a proper girlfriend will never understand my kind of fun!”
Jonathan was so frustrated that he wanted to cry, “What the f*ck, Credence, we’ve been mates for so many years now. Can you stop talking about me being single? What’s wrong with that? I haven’t troubled you by being single, have I? I’m proud to be single… Oh, Dorothy’s coming back. I’m leaving. You two have fun.”
He still wanted to complain, but when he saw Dorothy walking towards their direction with plates of delicious food in her hands, he daren’t become the third wheel. And so, he hurriedly left.
Dorothy thought the reason Jonathan left in a hurry was that he had matters to attend to. Therefore, she did not pay much attention to his sudden departure. She handed a big plate of food to Credence and said, “You’ve always had a stomach problem. You need to eat something.”
The warmth and tenderness he had given her in the past few days were something she thought she would never receive in this lifetime.
However, she did not know why he suddenly had a change of heart. Not only did he present her with a romantic candlelight dinner and a birthday party, he even promised to spend the rest of his life with her…
Even if it was all fake, it seemed all too real.
If this really was a sweet dream, she wished to never wake up from it!
So what reason did she have to refuse his kindness and gentleness?
When it came to relationships, the one who fell in love first would always be deemed the loser in the end.
The person who loved the other one first would not have enough will to refuse their lover’s pursuits.
So, it was impossible for her to refuse him when he was treating her with such tender love.
She would admit that she was shameless, stupid, and even overtly obsessed with Credence.
Credence accepted the plate of food from her and realized she had filled the plate with his favorite food. He felt a wave of warmth wash over his heart and his body softened.
He could not help but glance at the pink swollen marks he had made on her neck, and his gaze turned more doting. “I’ll send you back to accompany Belle after you’ve finished eating.”
Dorothy was busy devouring some fruit tarts at the time. She looked up with a cute pout and nodded.
Suddenly, Credence’s phone rang.
Dorothy watched as he held the plate of food in one hand while he fished out his phone with the other. She did not know what the person on the other side said but noticed that Credence’s face suddenly darkened as he exclaimed, “What?!”
Dorothy became nervous and uneasy at that, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
