Soon, Ulric saw her and began striding towards her.
As he got closer, Rosalind felt an urge to turn and run.
No one accompanied him back to the country, it was just him alone.
When Ulric reached her side and stood still, the pressure he exuded made it hard for Rosalind to breathe.
She noticed his tightly pressed thin lips, slightly furrowed brows, and the white bandage on his handsome face, which was quite conspicuous. He seemed somewhat displeased, as if contemplating how to reprimand her.
Rosalind sensibly took his luggage first, her face stiff, unsure of what to say.
Finally, it was Ulric who sighed lightly and spoke.
“If I don’t contact you, you won’t take the initiative to call me, right?”
“…”
Rosalind hadn’t expected him to say this. She was stunned and couldn’t utter a single word.
“Forget it, give me the car keys.” Ulric extended his hand, his tall figure completely blocking the light that should have been shining on her.
“Huh?”
“Do you plan to chat with me at the airport?”
Rosalind shook her head and handed over the car keys.
In the end, she sat in the passenger seat while Ulric drove.
Wasn’t she supposed to pick him up…
On the way back, Rosalind wanted to say something several times but couldn’t find the right words and swallowed them back.
She hadn’t expected their reunion to be like this. Why did it feel like… Ulric was not only angry but also more helpless?
“Your mother’s surgery was successful.”
Once again, it was Ulric who spoke first.
“Yes, I have to thank you for finding the doctor. The previous directors all said the success rate was low after understanding her condition.”
“You thank me, but your mother thanks that Malcolm.”
“Uh…”
Ulric glanced at her through the rearview mirror. “Isn’t that right?”
Rosalind suddenly realized that he seemed to care a lot about this! And now, it seemed like he was planning to settle accounts with her.
But no matter what, she decided to explain everything clearly.
“The thing is, my mother… found out that I signed an agreement with you for money. She thought I was selling my body and refused to undergo surgery. I had no choice but to ask Tilda’s cousin to pretend.”
“Hmm, a very sufficient reason.”
Ulric’s voice was low and cold, revealing no emotion.
This made Rosalind’s heart hang in mid-air.
“It’s true, I’m not lying to you.”
“I know you’re not lying.”
“…”
“But from the beginning, you never considered telling your mother the truth, did you?” Rather than revealing your identity, you’d rather find someone to pretend.
Rosalind replied as if it were a matter of course.
“Of course.”
Ulric suddenly braked hard. Both of them lurched forward for a few seconds before the car came to a stop by the roadside.
Rosalind looked at him in shock, not understanding why.
The next second, Ulric’s punishing kiss pressed down on her!
He didn’t know why he was so taken with this oblivious woman, even when she infuriated him, he was left speechless.
Everything happened so suddenly that Rosalind didn’t push him away until she felt she was about to pass out from lack of oxygen.
“What are you doing!”
At this moment, Ulric’s lips were stained with her lipstick, and his shirt was disheveled from her tugging, adding a touch of laziness to his demeanor.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly quieted down.
After a long while, he spoke softly.
“Rosalind, what more do I have to do for you to understand?”
