In the room, Lacey was curled up on the sofa on the balcony, looking at the moon in the sky with somewhat unfocused eyes.
[Do you still know what courtesy, justice, and shame are? Is this what your mother taught you?]
[In my opinion, she was lucky to have died early. Otherwise, she would have died of anger because of you!]
[Let me tell you, if you still have some conscience and know that this is your sister, divorce him as soon as possible. You are not suitable for him!]
[Don’t think that I can’t do anything to you just because he married you. You’d better know better what kind of person he is. He can marry you so soon, and he can dump you in no time. Do you think you can go back to the Carter family at that time?]
Every word, every threat, was so cold and ruthless that it hit her ears.
From the moment he opened his mouth, Lacey had never said a word.
She just watched the man get mad quietly.
She didn’t understand it before. Why did he treat her like that when she was like her sister?
Now, she understood.
Lillianna was a puppet, but she was not!
This meant that she had married Sam.
Even if she was his other ‘daughter’!
He was still very wary of her.
When Sam pushed the door open and came in, he saw her bending over on the sofa with her chin resting on her knees. She was in a trance, wearing a thin T-shirt with short sleeves.
The man picked up the blanket on the bed, walked over, and put it on her.
Lacey suddenly came to her senses and looked at the person who gave her the blanket.
“Thank you.” Her tone was extremely calm as she wrapped the blanket around herself.
Sam smiled faintly and sat on the stool opposite her. “What did he say to you so that you didn’t go downstairs for dinner?”
Lacey didn’t say anything and continued to move.
“I asked Aunt Paige to cook noodles for you. They’ll be delivered soon!”
Lacey’s eyelashes fluttered. “Is the storm outside going down?”
“What’s wrong, Second Ms. Carter? Are you afraid of the public opinion outside?” Sam’s tone was inexplicably joyful.
Lacey looked up at him, her eyes as cold as the moonlight.
Then, he got up and walked into the inner room.
Obviously, do you think I care about public opinion?
Sam shook his head helplessly. “This girl is so cold!”
“Where am I going to sleep tonight?” She looked at him. There was a big bed and a sofa in the room.
“Where do you think you should sleep?”
Lacey looked at him and said, “I’m going to sleep on the sofa!”
As he spoke, he was about to walk to the sofa.
However, Sam grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. “We’re already husband and wife. Do you want to sleep on the sofa?”
Lacey frowned and raised her delicate and beautiful face. “Mr. Garrison, don’t you know if we are a real couple?”
Sam raised his thin lips and lowered his voice by half a degree. He said in an orderly low voice, “We’ve already slept, and we’ve also gotten our marriage certificate. Do you think there’s anything we can’t do?”
Lacey was a little shocked. She had never seen anyone so shameless!
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
“Young Master, it’s done!” Aunt Paige’s voice came from the door.
Only then did Sam let go of her. He walked to the door and opened it.
Aunt Paige hurried in with noodles in her hands. She looked around and found that Lacey was sitting on the bed, reading a magazine.
“Aunt Paige, you can go out now.”
“Oh, oh, okay.” Aunt Paige’s eyes were still looking at Lacey, but when she saw Sam coming over, she had to leave first.
The door was slammed shut.
Lacey immediately lifted the quilt and got out of bed. “I’ll sleep with Sophia tonight.”
“Do you think someone will sleep with my sister-in-law on the first night of marriage?”
Lacey stopped in her tracks.
Sam walked up to her and leaned over to whisper in her ear, “No matter what your purpose is for getting the marriage certificate, you are Mrs. Garrison during this period of time. You want to sleep with Sophia now. Do you want to let others know that we are fake?”
Lacey frowned and said nothing.
“Come and eat some noodles. It’s almost burnt.” He reached out to hold her hand and walked towards the table.
“Don’t worry, I won’t touch you.” He pressed her against the chair and sat on the other side to look at her. “Am I that scary?”
Lacey looked at him, her eyes full of vigilance.
“Hey, your eyes make me feel particularly uncomfortable. Don’t look at me like that. Yes, I am a man, but I will never force you. For example, the first time, you took the initiative, right? The second time, you provoked me on the island. The third time, you seduced me, didn’t you?” He held his chin, and his voice was a little low.
The corner of Lacey’s mouth twitched and she looked a little embarrassed.
She lowered her head and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
Looking at her rare well-behaved appearance, he was in a good mood.
“Sam…” She ate two mouthfuls of noodles and suddenly looked up at him. “If it weren’t for me, would you have married her?”
“If I give you another chance, will you still sacrifice your first time for her?”
Lacey was stunned. The man’s eyes were deep and dark, and he stared at her for a moment.
For some reason, she did not dare to meet such a pair of eyes.
Following which, he lowered his head and stirred his face. His voice carried a bit of helplessness as he mocked, “I will, because I am short of money!”
“Hehe.” He laughed softly. His voice was hoarse and deep as he said, “Therefore, don’t say ‘if’ because you will still appear!”
Lacey frowned. What kind of answer was that?
Forget it, she didn’t want to ask any more questions.
The door was knocked again. “Young Master, Old Master and Madam are looking for you.”
For the first time, they looked at each other with great tacit understanding.
“Take your time. I’ll go there.”
“Okay.”
After Sam left, Lacey put down her chopsticks.
Her appetite was very small. No matter what kind of exquisite dishes they were, she would be full with just a few bites.
She got up and rubbed her shoulders, feeling very sore.
In the past two days, she had been so nervous that she had thought of a scene where she failed 10, 000 times.
But she never thought that she would marry this man.
But no matter what the ending was, these two days were really too tiring.
She needed to take a shower and rest.
He went into the bathroom and took off his clothes.
The warm water immediately dripped from her head to her toes.
In the dense mist, her little face was full of tiredness, and there was no light in her eyes…
After a while, she suddenly felt more and more dizzy.
She didn’t know whether it was too stuffy or not, but she only felt that her chest was almost out of breath.
She pinched her temples and quickly turned off the shower. She pulled the white towel aside and casually wiped her hair and the water on her body.
Then, she subconsciously wanted to take her clothes.
But after grabbing for a while, he found nothing.
She looked up and froze for a moment.
Oh, it’s not the Carter family, it’s the Garrison family…
She seemed to have forgotten to take her pajamas.
She frowned wearily. She wrapped herself in the bath towel and walked out barefoot on the carpet.
In the afternoon, Sam arranged for the store managers of three A-list brands to send all the clothes from inside to outside.
She opened the wardrobe and saw a dazzling array of clothes.
She picked up a white nightdress and closed the cabinet door.
She wanted to change into the bathroom, but she felt dizzy after taking two steps.
She had no choice but to take two steps back and sit on the bed.
“Hiss!” She took a gentle breath and reached out to pinch the space between her eyebrows. It hurt so much.
After pinching for a while, she looked at the door and the bathroom.
His parents must have been looking for him for a long time.
Thinking of this, she pulled off the bath towel and let it slide on the carpet.
She got up and picked up her nightdress.
However, at this moment, there was a slight sound at the door.
Lacey was stunned and suddenly realized something. Her hand froze and she instinctively turned her head.
Sam’s tall and straight figure stood at the door. His deep and calm eyes narrowed slightly and froze on her. He froze on the spot for a moment and did not respond.
Lacey stared at him blankly for three seconds.
All of a sudden, she came to her senses.
Standing in front of him with his hands covering his chest, he shouted at him in a panic, “You… What are you doing standing there? Didn’t you… go to talk?”
All night, her pale and bloodless face seemed to rush to her brain and drip out of her face in a few seconds.
Sam looked at her naked face. His stiff expression did not ease at all. His thin lips parted slightly and his voice was low and hoarse. “I, I forgot to take my phone…”
Lacey was stunned for a few seconds before she yelled at him, “Turn around! Don’t look!”
Sam immediately turned around.
Lacey quickly put on her nightdress.
Then, he quickly jumped onto the bed and covered himself with the quilt.
Sam waited for a while, but he didn’t hear any sound.
She turned around and covered herself tightly with the quilt…
The man walked to the bedside, took the phone at the bedside, took a deep breath, and held the phone hard.
“Ahem, you go first. You go to sleep first. I may come back very late!”
Lacey did not answer.
Sam didn’t dare to stay any longer. He grabbed his phone and walked out.
It wasn’t until she heard the sound of the door being closed that Lacey secretly lifted the blanket.
“Really!” She reached out her hand and patted her forehead angrily!
–
The conversation lasted for a very long time.
When Sam returned to his room, it was already past one o’clock in the morning.
The man’s voice was very soft, and there was only a bedside lamp in the room.
And there was another person on his bed.
On the carpet, the white towel was still in its original position and had not been touched…
In an instant, the scene from before clearly appeared in the man’s mind.
Her snow-white skin, slender legs, and that…
Somehow, the man’s Adam’s apple rolled up and down a few times…
Immediately, he rushed into the bathroom and took a cold shower.
After a while, he opened the quilt and got on the bed.
However, he suddenly noticed a slight tremor beside him.
Sam gently lifted the quilt. When he opened it, he was slightly stunned.
“Lacey, what’s wrong with you?”
The girl curled up on the side, and her forehead was wet. Her lips were white from biting, and her body was shaking.
Sam quickly picked her up and said, “Lacey!”
“It hurts…”
“Where does it hurt?”
“My stomach hurts… it hurts…”
Sam hurriedly lifted the quilt. He was a little shocked when he saw it. The bed and even her white dress were red.
She’s on his period!
Lacey opened her eyes, her face pale.
She grabbed his hand and her lips trembled. She said urgently, “Help me buy some painkillers!”
