he covers his heart and takes a few steps back. It’s okay, he can handle it, he’s not sad, he’s not upset…
On the way back, Kelsey sat in the passenger seat and looked back at Paige, “Sister, how are you going to keep your brother-in-law asleep? You can’t just knock him out whenever he wakes up, can you?”
Paige wrapped Enrico’s hand and heard what she said, “I’ll think of something.”
In any case, she couldn’t let Enrico kill someone with JT’s way of thinking.
…
That night, Kevin sat in front of the fish pond, grabbing handfuls of fish food and throwing it in.
The fish scrambled for the food, and a red carp swam past him.
He suddenly thought of the scene of Paige flying down the red silk, and the ripples in the fish pond reflected in his eyes, and his chest started beating a little faster.
He clearly admired Hazel, so why did he feel this way about Paige…
She was his cousin, and even if what she said had holes in it, and she might not be his real cousin, her heart was clearly with JT.
“Brother…”
Nick covered his face, which was swelling up, and limped over to Kevin, sitting down by the fish pond. His hands and neck were covered in bandages.
“You’re hurt, why aren’t you sleeping?” Kevin looked at him.
“I can’t sleep with all these things on my mind,” Nick sighed with emotion.
“You have only yourself to blame for this. I told you not to set foot in the Moonlight Clubhouse, but you just wouldn’t listen, and now look what’s happened.”
Kevin thought he was worried about the beating he had received, and his voice turned cold, “You’re not young anymore, and I was thinking of arranging a marriage for you, so that you can settle down after getting married.”
On hearing this, Nick did not resist as he usually did, but instead sighed heavily, “This is what I’m worried about.”
“What?” Kevin asked suspiciously.
Nick looked around, then asked mysteriously, “Brother, if someone falls for someone they shouldn’t, is it very painful?”
Kevin felt as if he had been stabbed in the chest. He wanted to have both legs intact, and would jump up right then.
His hand held the fish food bowl tightly, and his voice changed, “How do you know?”
Did he show it so obviously?
“Of course I know, it’s all so obvious,” Nick said with an exaggerated expression.
Kevin stiffened, “I can keep myself…”
“This Kelsey, clearly knowing that she is just a maid, still dares to like me, the fourth master of the Folsom family.”
Nick grabbed a handful of fish food from his hand and threw it into the pool, continuing, “But judging from her innocent appearance and lack of guile, she must truly love me, which is even more troublesome.”
After finishing speaking in one breath, Nick suddenly looked at him, puzzled, ‘Third Brother, what did you say you could guard against?”
Kevin looked away and continued feeding the fish, ‘Nothing, just go on.”
“I’m at a loss. This little girl loves me so much, and I went to the Moonlight Clubhouse to watch some dancing and listen to some opera, and she got so angry. If I really marry her, she’ll hang herself in tears.”
Nick frowned, let out another sigh, and rubbed his hand over his eyes, which were as puffy as fish bubbles. “It’s all my fault for being so charming.”
Kevin felt a little uncomfortable hearing this. “Are you very troubled?”
“Of course I am. She knows that she shouldn’t like me, but she does. I’m definitely troubled.”
Nick said without a second thought, “Besides, even if I feel sorry for her and I’m willing to marry her, can the Folsom family accept me marrying a girl with no background? She and I are destined to be impossible… But I don’t want her to hang herself either. Before Casey and Eduardo left, they asked me to take care of her.”
Troubled.
Really troubled.
On hearing this, Kevin let out a bitter laugh and threw all the fish food in his hand into the fish pond. “Yes, liking someone you shouldn’t is just going to cause trouble.”
“Hey…”
The two brothers sighed in unison.
The moonlight swayed the leaves.
The fish in the pond said they were too full and didn’t want to move.
…
Having been with Enrico for a long time, it had been a long time since Paige had spent an entire night in a state of light sleep.
Lying next to Enrico, she didn’t want to tie him down, so she forced herself to sleep lightly and keep an eye on him.
Just before dawn, the man next to her suddenly moved.
Paige quickly opened her eyes and glanced over to see Enrico lying next to her, his eyes closed, moving, his eyebrows knitted in pain.
The hand resting on the quilt was lifted and covered his neck.
Paige raised herself slightly, her long hair falling down and sweeping across her arm.
She stared at his handsome, deep face without moving, until Enrico opened his drowsy eyes.
Their eyes met.
Enrico’s dazed look gradually dissipated, and a touch of gloom suddenly appeared in his eyes. Seeing this, Paige leaned over without thinking and kissed his lips, tearing off the buttons on his pajamas at random…
Enrico’s eyes narrowed, staring at her intently, his chest rising and falling heavily.
Her toes brushed his legs through the quilt.
Enrico’s breathing tightened, and without saying a word, he took the initiative and pressed her down beneath him.
Outside the window, the sky was turning pale, and more and more white clouds were appearing. The temperature of the sunlight was getting higher and higher, penetrating the closed curtains and casting a patch of light on the floor.
“I’ll go get you some breakfast.” Paige smiled as she sat up, tying one of his hands to the bedpost with his tie.
“Paige…”
Enrico stared at the tie, breathing a little heavily. He didn’t know what he was thinking, but the corner of his lips curled up into a wicked arc.
He looked at her, his eyes confused and dazzling, a drop of sweat sliding down his chin, with a fatal sexiness.
“Mm, I’ll be right back.”
She kissed his cheek and slowly got out of bed.
The room was empty.
Enrico sat on the bed, looking at the tie, reminiscing about the joy just now, and the heat that filled his body gradually faded.
He thought about last night, and his blood suddenly cooled.
But before he could think of more, Paige came in with breakfast, as if she had already prepared it and was waiting for him to eat.
Paige sat by the bedside and fed him, her face still flushed from earlier, which made his eyes burn.
He stared at her deeply, taking a mouthful of the porridge she fed him, and asked her with a devilish voice, “Are you going to finish eating before continuing?”
Paige smiled at him, ‘As long as you have the strength.”
“Are you provoking me?’ Enrico broke free of the tie with one hand, loosened his wrist, scooped her into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her.
Before he could kiss her, everything went dark.
He stared at her in disbelief, “You drugged me?”
“…”
Paige was silent.
Enrico collapsed on the bed before he had finished eating the bowl of congee.
Paige stood by the bed with the bowl in her hand, feeling utterly…
She guiltily covered him up, knelt by the bed, and rested her face on his arm. “Enrico, just bear with me a little longer, I’m sure I can think of a way to wake you up.”
The drug added to the porridge was not light, and it was enough to keep Enrico asleep for a day.
Paige stayed in the room for a long time before carrying the breakfast downstairs.
