Rather than calling it a kiss, what Johnny did was more like a punishment.
Tilda felt her lips throb with pain, gasping in surprise, but he pushed forward, claiming her completely…
She was pinned against the wall, her hands still trembling from earlier, futilely pounding against his body.
It felt like her breath was being stolen away, and Tilda could only bite Johnny in desperation.
Soon, the metallic taste of blood spread in their mouths, yet he refused to back off even an inch.
To say Tilda wasn’t scared would be a lie.
At that moment, Johnny seemed possessed!
“Johnny-”
Losing oxygen drained her strength, and her body started to go limp.
The next second, Johnny scooped her up and carried her into the bedroom.
The sound of the door locking felt like a sentence being pronounced!
“Johnny, I-I’m still pregnant!”
She desperately retreated.
But Johnny held onto her ankle, yanking her closer.
“Didn’t you say you didn’t want the baby?”
“What do you want to do?”
“Tilda, I’ll ask you one last time. Do you want to marry me and give birth to the baby?”
In the darkened room, his gaze appeared particularly grim under the faint glow of the moonlight.
Tilda sensed the danger but didn’t consider the consequences, stubbornly replying, “I don’t want to! Even if you ask me a hundred times, I still won’t!”
“Fine, I won’t ask you again.”
Johnny pressed down on Tilda’s shoulders and leaned in to kiss her.
She tried to evade, but she could only dodge for a moment before he caught up to her again.
When she felt the coldness beneath her, Tilda truly panicked.
“Y-You! Johnny, if you touch me, I’ll never forgive you for the rest of my life!”
“Then let’s be entangled for a lifetime.”
Rather than losing her, he would rather have her hate him!
When he possessed her, Tilda gritted her teeth in anger and fear.
She never expected Johnny to be so utterly insane!
“This is coercion! It’s illegal!”
“It is, but I don’t care.”
…
The next morning, Rosalind awoke to a pounding headache from her hangover, her brows furrowed.
Propping herself up in bed for a while, she realized she was in a hotel.
Looking around, she found she was alone.
As she recalled the events of the previous night, she remembered she had been drinking, and then…
Ulric showed up.
No need to think any further. He must have been the one to bring her here.
Rosalind headed toward the bathroom to wash her face, feeling much better. When she came out, she noticed a note left by Ulric on the table.
“I’ve left Northville City. Next time you want to drink, make sure to bring Malcolm along, so you won’t get drunk before you can call him to pick you up.”
He actually suggested she contact Malcolm?
Rosalind wasn’t foolish. She understood the implication immediately.
It seemed he really had given up on her.
Well, that was fine…
Rosalind lowered her gaze, standing still for a long time until her legs went numb before she finally moved.
Thinking about Tilda’s situation, she quickly dialed Tilda’s number.
After a few rings, to her surprise, it was Johnny who answered!
“Hello?”
“Johnny? Why do you have Tilda’s phone?”
Johnny chuckled on the other end, “I convinced her to forgive me yesterday. We spent a night, and she is sleeping now! I’ll have her call you back once she wakes up.”
