Jonathan looked at Credence, who was still handsome even though his head was wrapped up in a bandage. He coughed, then smiled cheekily. “Credence, I’m one of the most popular men in Talco City. I’m handsome, rich, and long-lasting. How can a small matter like that bring me down?”
“You? Long-lasting?”
Credence narrowed his eyes, a faint smile on his lips. He said dismissively, “Everybody in Talco City knows that you can only last three seconds.”
Jonathan’s hackles raised at that. He shouted, “F*ck, Credence, how can you just expose my shortcomings just like that? I’m going to die of anger!”
He knew that he should not have been so complacent as to joke about Credence’s desires for sex with Dorothy despite his serious injuries in front of the doctor. Now, he was the laughing stock. It seems that only Dorothy could bear his bad temper.
As for Dorothy, she was brushing her teeth and washing her face in the bathroom. She had no idea what those men were talking about at all.
After she was done cleaning herself up, she walked out of the washroom. Credence, who’d been lying in wait, pressed her up against the door, his hand wrapping around her waist.
Dorothy bit her lips, wanting to break free of his grasp. However, he seemed to read her mind, and his fingers pressed on her sensitive spots. She immediately weakened, unable to struggle.
“I’m going to give you a big surprise in a few days. Do you want it?”
“What kind of big surprise?”
“You will know when the time comes.”
Credence bent down slightly, his warm breath fanning over her.
The distance between their lips was too close. They were less than half a centimeter away from each other. Dorothy moved her head back, trying to move away from him, suddenly feeling like she couldn’t breathe. “Credence, can you let me go and talk normally?”
“No!” He narrowed his eyes, and a charming smile bloomed on his handsome face.
Dorothy was fascinated by his charming smile. Suddenly, she felt a big hand sliding down along the hem of her shirt.
His palm was hot, and he slowly moved along her smooth skin one inch at a time. He was very patient with what he did, and his palms went lower and lower, as it slipped down into her skirt.
Dorothy’s heart was beating unusually fast. She closed her eyes, and her eyelashes could not help but tremble, “Credence, what on earth do you want?”
“I want you.” Credence looked at her red face, and the moment he lowered his eyes, he could vaguely see her bosom. His gaze burned, and his fingers attacked.
Dorothy moaned.
She tried to push him away. “Don’t, don’t. Belle’s going to wake up soon.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? We can show Belle just how her Daddy loves her Mommy.” Credence narrowed his eyes, his fingers making Dorothy buckle. He himself was on fire as well.
He didn’t know why, but Dorothy had the power to make him lose control.
Dorothy’s eyes were blurred, and she tried her best to stay alert. She widened her eyes and glared at him. “You’re so shameless.”
“I am only shameless to you!” he said tenderly.
Dorothy had to admit that she was sorely tempted by him.
After four years of an excruciating marriage, and six years apart, this was the first time Credence made her truly experience being madly in love.
She felt like she was the woman he cared the most about.
Germaine once asked her why she was able to forgive Credence despite the deep pain he had caused her.
Why?
It was because, apart from him, she found it impossible to love anyone else.
They could call her a fool, but she’d lost control over her heart from the moment that Credence had saved her from those perverts.
Apart from that, there was still Rosalie. She wanted Dorothy dead, and Dorothy was no match for her in terms of her scheming and viciousness.
Dorothy was well aware of this point.
The number of times that she’d fallen for Rosalie’s tricks proved that.
Apart from Rosalie’s attacks, she still had to protect Belle and the child in her womb.
Rosalie had already gone so far as to attack Belle twice now. She definitely wouldn’t be afraid to do it again, as many times as she wanted.
Hence, Credence was her best refuge, whether in terms of her feelings for him or in terms of everybody’s safety.
Under Credence’s teasing, Dorothy gradually lost the strength to resist. In the end, she fell into Credence’s embrace, and she allowed him to do whatever he wanted.
At her dazed gaze, Credence lowered his lips to her eyes, and was just about to move downwards to her lips when Belle’s groggy voice came from behind them. “Daddy, Mommy, what are you doing?”
She was probably curious why Credence was holding onto Dorothy and sniffing at her face. Belle ran over to them and widened her blue eyes. “Mommy, are you fighting with Daddy?”
Her innocent words crashed against Dorothy’s heart like pebbles falling into a puddle. She abruptly pinched Credence hard and glared at him. “Let me go.”
However, he felt no pain at all. With his back towards Belle, he removed his hand from Dorothy’s skirt, then spoke in a deep voice, “Belle, your Mommy and I area playing a fun game. Only adults can play this game.”
Dorothy glared at Credence angrily. She lowered her voice and cursed at him. “Shameless.”
He didn’t take her seriously, and only looked at her dotingly.
No matter how smart Belle was, she was just a six-year-old child. She couldn’t sense the tension between them, and she smiled brightly at Dorothy. “Oh, then you two go ahead. I’ll go play with Mummy Germaine.”
After that, Belle ran out of the ward to look for Germaine.
“Belle, don’t run so fast, slow down.”
Dorothy could not help but warn her daughter when she saw her staggering out of the room.
The hospital was now fully under Credence’s control, and not even a fly could get in. Dorothy wasn’t too worried about Belle running out on her own.
As soon as Belle left, Credence pressed her up against the wall again. He teased her for a while again before finally letting her go.
Before he did, he bit her lips to try to satisfy himself a little. He then tried to extinguish his desire before letting her go and walking into the washroom.
At this moment, Belle ran back to the room and touched her stomach. “Mommy, Mummy Germaine is sleeping and doesn’t want to talk to me. Also, I’m hungry.”
She then immediately widened her eyes and said, “Mommy, did a mosquito bite you on the lips? They’re so swollen.”
Dorothy suddenly felt embarrassed. She subconsciously touched her lips and nodded in a panic. “Yes, it was a huge mosquito.”
Coincidentally, Credence walked out of the washroom at this moment. When he heard Dorothy’s lie, he raised an eyebrow, and there were still remaining traces of desire in his eyes. “A big mosquito?”
Dorothy had wanted to secretly reprimand him, but he’d caught her red-handed. She immediately held Belle’s hand and they hurried out of the ward. “Come on, Mommy will bring you for breakfast.”
After accompanying Belle for a simple yet nutritious meal in the hospital canteen, Dorothy bought breakfast for Credence and Germaine. When they finished eating and spent enough time in the canteen, she held Belle’s hand and walked her out of the canteen.
After a few steps, someone suddenly shot up to Dorothy and blocked her.
