Unable to come hard, she had to give in to softness.
Paige stretched out her hands that were rubbed all over with blood, “Look, my hands are hurt, can you give me a medicine first?”
Enrico looked away, “You didn’t care about your life when you jumped, what’s this little injury, there’s no rush, I’ll give you medicine after the fight.”
Saying that, he grabbed her wrist with one hand.
Looking at the abrasions on it, his movement changed, switching to a thumb and forefinger pinch, squeezing and tugging her towards him.
With that Paige couldn’t even resist and was pulled forward sliding a little.
Seeing his look of determination, Paige resisted so much that she gripped the covers with her scrunched up toes, her brow furrowed, “Enrico, you can’t do this, I’m 25 years old.”
Is it decent to be spanked at 25?
Does she even have the face to say it?
Enrico listened and continued to pull her closer to him, “That’s all the more reason to spank, spanking you now so you don’t make the same mistake when you’re 85.”
“How can I be 85 and still be doing this, get off me …”
Paige couldn’t back away even if she wanted to, she could hardly cry.
“With your nature, what can’t you do?”
Enrico grunted and sat down on the edge of the bed, looking down at her, “Are you going to plop yourself down, or am I going to help you?”
“Enrico, my hand hurts, it really hurts.” Paige looked at him sadly.
“My heart hurts.” Enrico stared at her with a cold face, “Get down.”
“…”
It didn’t make sense at all.
Paige looked at him in exasperation, only to see a pout under his eyes, she pursed her lips and suddenly leaned towards him and kissed him on the lips.
His lips held a touch of coolness.
He sat there, coldly looking at her, without a half response.
How is it so annoying …
If her strength wasn’t drained from her body right now, she would have absolutely pushed him away from her and gotten out of bed and run.
Paige rolled her eyes, forced up a bit of strength to grab the clothes in front of him, tilted her head back to continue kissing his lips, the tip of her tongue sweeping shallowly, trying to pry open his lips.
The next second, she was pushed away.
“Sorry, this time, your waist won’t save you.” Enrico looked at her unfazed, his eyes cold.
“Enrico, you’ve had enough, I’m all committed … ah-”
Before Paige could finish her sentence, she was yanked by him and half of her body slumped into his lap.
“Splat–”
A slap hard on her buttocks.
It hurt …
Paige’s eyes widened in some disbelief, he really hit her?
She felt more humiliated than hurt.
She struggled and was rewarded with another slap.
“Don’t you dare mess up again, huh?” Enrico sat on the edge of the bed, holding her arm down with one hand to keep her from fidgeting, his eyes glowering at her.
“…”
Paige bit her lip depressingly and didn’t look at him, didn’t respond, quite literally just let it go.
She couldn’t do anything about it now anyway, so fight it.
“No contest, huh?” Enrico slapped her on the ass again.
Paige had really been playing hard to get when she was in the underground space, physically drained, and this was going to be a beating, and the pain seemed to come in double stacks.
Her body shook from the blow and her head went blank from the pain.
She gritted her teeth.
Enrico lowered his head, his eyes fell on her face, his face was pale and his eyes were stubborn.
Still not convinced …
Enrico’s breathing grew heavier as his palms rose again.
“…”
Paige closed her eyes, her teeth clenched tighter.
Seeing this, the force of Enrico’s fall lightened, but he still drew it down one at a time.
There was no end to it.
Paige couldn’t take it anymore and turned her eyes to glare at him, “Enrico, I was trying to save you!”
When the words fell, her chin was clamped down by a handful of his, Enrico sank his face and forced himself closer to her eyes, his gaze glaring back at her fiercely, “No need! Paige you remember this, no matter how many times something like this happens in the future, I don’t need you to save me!”
“…”
Paige was so angry she couldn’t speak.
“Even if I get chopped up with a knife in the future, I won’t need you to save me.” Enrico said it almost through clenched teeth.
“Enrico, you’re being unreasonable!”
“I want you to live! Anyone can die, not you!”
Enrico growled out with a sullen face, his eyes gradually turning fishy red, his long eyelashes twitching as he looked ruthless and pitiful.
“…”
Looking into such a pair of eyes, Paige suddenly couldn’t get angry.
She lay on his lap, her chin forced up by him, her eyes looking straight at him.
Enrico stared at her, a thin layer of watery light clouding his eyes.
Paige then realized how much pain he was in, her throat was raw and dry, “Enrico, you can’t be unreasonable.”
What do you mean anyone can die, not her.
How could she stand by and watch him fall into that gear and do nothing.
“Reason, what reason? Tell me what are your chances of success in this operation today? And what are the chances of death?”
Enrico gave a mocking laugh, but looked away from her.
But Paige still saw a tear fall from his eyes.
“You’re crying.” She whispered.
“Crying about what, I can shed a tear for you Paige?” Enrico raised his hand and wiped his face coldly.
“…”
Paige was genuinely surprised that her behavior had shaken him that much.
She just wanted to save him, she just didn’t want Rachel to get her way.
Paige grabbed his shirt and struggled to sit up on her knees.
Enrico pushed his head a little further away, leaving the back of his head for her.
She thought he wanted to hit her?
She played hard to get medicine for him; she played hard to get when he wouldn’t use it; she still played hard to get when he was trapped in the organ.
If he didn’t do something, she was going to make playing hard to get a daily routine!
Paige wrapped her arms around his shoulders from behind, and Enrico said in a cold voice, “Let go.”
“Not loose.” Paige hugged tightly, somewhat tiredly put her chin on his shoulder, whispered, “I’m not playing with my life, I just think, if you die, then there’s no point in me living.”
That’s why she dared to fight for her life.
That’s why she was so reckless.
At those words, Enrico’s body shook, his eyes changed again and again, and finally snorted coldly, “If you scare me less, I’ll live a few more years.”
The tone was soft.
“…”
The words came out.
Paige hugged him from behind, “Then this is over, okay?”
“No good, you give me another oath.” Enrico coldly said with his back to her.
Still refusing to reveal the past?
It wasn’t like she’d really done anything hurtful enough to warrant him holding onto it.
Thinking about it, Paige pressed on and asked cooperatively, “What kind of oath?”
Enrico was silent for a moment and said, “You follow me.”
“… line.”
She looked at his tears.
“From this day forward, I, Paige, will not play hard to get, and I will do everything within my means and cherish my life.”
Enrico said word for word, commanding her again, “Finger up.”
Paige sat down on her knees, put up three fingers, and swore to the sky, “I swear, from today onwards, I, Paige, will not play with my life to do things, and I will do everything according to my ability, and I will cherish my life.”
