“When I came in, Belle was already asleep. She won’t be able to hear us.”
The light was reflected in Dorothy’s eyes. Even though Credence’s face was thin and straight, it was still magnified when it was reflected in her pupils. Her heart was beating wildly.
She never thought that Credence, who was such a cruel and merciless man, would have such a shameless side as well.
As she struggled, Credence held her hands down, and she could only lean against the door, trying to put some distance between them.
However, he stuck a leg between hers, his knee brushing against her every now and then. She glared at him. “So what if Belle’s asleep? Credence, don’t forget that you’re covered in injuries, and you’re a patient! The doctor said that you have to get enough rest. Stop thinking about that! Credence, you’re already thirty-five, and you could easily lose your life if you continue causing trouble like this!”
Dorothy didn’t thoroughly process her words. She just wanted Credence to know that he was badly injured, and that he should stop dreaming about getting her into bed.
She was truly worried about him.
However, Dorothy didn’t expect him to take her caring words the wrong way. To him, it sounded like she was looking down on him.
Well, she wasn’t even thirty-one yet. She was definitely younger than him.
She even had Juelz watching her like a hawk, and he was younger than Credence.
“So, you think I’m old?”
Credence raised an eyebrow and stared at Dorothy, a faint smile on his lips. “Why don’t you strip and try me out right now?”
Upon hearing this, Dorothy immediately blushed.
Back then, she really didn’t know that he could be so shameless.
Her blush hadn’t even faded when he bent down to look into her eyes directly. “Don’t worry, I made sure to protect myself there when we were in the ocean, so you definitely won’t lose this! I’ll definitely be able to satisfy you.”
Dorothy suddenly wanted to swear out loud.
Her face was thoroughly red, rendered speechless by his dirty talk.
Credence stared at her blushing face, and the urge to throw her onto the bed and have his way with her surged in him.
Naturally, he did exactly as he wanted to.
Though his injuries hurt, he couldn’t be bothered with them in the face of lust. He picked Dorothy up and sped towards the bed. He put her down gently, then quickly pressed his body on top of hers.
Her actions were so fast and efficient that Dorothy had no time to react at all.
Credence lowered his head and looked at her neck, which was flushed as well. His gaze travelled up to her face, the tenderness in his eyes morphing into strong desire.
He wrapped an arm around her small waist, then flipped her around. He held her in his arms tightly, his lips pressed to her neck. He licked her lightly, and spoke in a seductive voice. “Mrs. Scott, it’s late. Shall we sleep together?”
Mrs. Scott…
He actually called her Mrs. Scott!
His words made her heart throb. A tenderness and sense of security surged in her heart.
Suddenly, he nibbled on her neck. Dorothy trembled and subconsciously tried to shy away from him, her voice trembling as well. “No, no, I have to accompany Belle. You’re a patient, and you need space to rest and recuperate.”
“But the bed is too big and empty. I need you to accompany me.”
He rubbed his thin lips against her fair neck, then moved on to her sensitive earlobe.
Dorothy’s ears burned, and she moved her head away, panting. She tried to change the topic, saying, “Rosalie’s men took Belle away to some hidden location, didn’t they? How’d you manage to find Belle?”
After all, it did not look like Credence had any new wounds on him.
This proved that he might not have gone to find her on his own.
However, it was his own daughter who was kidnapped. As a father, how could he not stand in the front lines to save his own daughter?
In the midst of battles, it was impossible for him to not be injured.
At this, Credence licked his lips subconsciously and stared at Dorothy’s earlobe for a while before saying, “I got a call from Juelz while we were searching. He’d come to visit Belle, and happened to see those thugs taking her away. He followed them, and delayed them long enough for me to find Belle.”
“He truly treats Belle well. I’m thankful to him for that.”
Dorothy immediately felt anxious. She asked, “What happened to Juelz? Was he injured? Credence, why didn’t you tell me this earlier?”
Credence narrowed his eyes and stared at her. A complicated expression flashed across his handsome face. “Do you really care about him that much?”
Dorothy didn’t catch his hidden meaning and nodded honestly. “He hasn’t really been in the right state of mind lately, and he’s been really stressed about Germaine.”
“Back then, Germaine went through so much torture and humiliation to save Belle from Rosalie. Now, Juelz is injured because of Belle. I really feel bad about it, because I already owe him too much.”
It turned out that she just did not want to owe Juelz anything.
Credence’s gaze softened a little. “There were a lot of thugs. I brought a lot of policemen with me, but it’s hard to avoid getting injured in these situations.”
“Are you saying that Juelz is injured?”
“Don’t worry, I have already arranged my men to send Juelz to the hospital so that he can get treated. He won’t die.”
After a pause, his gaze turned sharp. “Though he plotted against us before this, I wouldn’t stoop as low as to take revenge for that matter by injuring him like this.”
Dorothy was relieved. She ran her fingers over the gauze around Credence’s head. “Whatever it is, I can sleep well knowing that both of you are safe.”
He nodded lightly, then pressed his lips to her forehead. He said softly, “It’s late. Go to sleep.”
“Okay.”
Dorothy was really sleepy, so she closed her eyes, ignoring Credence’s tight grip on her.
When she was almost asleep, she seemed to hear Credence sigh, “Mrs. Scott, once I’m better, I’ll give you a huge surprise.”
A huge surprise?!
From which aspect?
Dorothy really wanted to open her eyes and ask Credence clearly. However, she was too tired. She reached out and gently tugged his hand with a smile.
