This was Braelynn’s first time being so intimate with someone of the opposite gender, so she was flustered.
Richard’s lips moved with hers as he had his eyes closed. Since this was her first time experiencing this, her heart was beating violently in the chest, and she didn’t know what to do.
He had his eyes on her for a long time, and he finally got this opportunity with her today, so he would not just stop at kissing.
On the other hand, she did not hate him either, otherwise, she would not have let him had his way with her.
He was extremely excited with his crush in his arms, so he naturally would not give up this opportunity.
As he proceeded to remove her clothes, she was defenseless in his arms and did not know how to reject him.
He was exhilarated and thanked the Heavens for finally letting him live out his dreams.
Unexpectedly, a call from Lamont came at the last minute, and Braelynn immediately regained her senses when she heard her ringtone.
She was shocked to see the state they were in and lifted her fist to punch him.
When he heard the phone ring, he knew what was going to happen. He also knew that she was skilled in martial arts under Lamont’s training, but he could not dodge her punch because he did not want to expose his act. Therefore, he had no choice but to stubbornly take it.
She did not hit him with her full strength, but he was still in extreme pain.
He yelped in pain and stopped moving. Then, she scrambled to put on her clothes and answered the call, “Dad!”
“Why haven’t you come down yet?” Lamont was impatiently waiting in the parking lot.
“Um… Miss Brown asked me to keep her company, so I won’t go back tonight!” She looked at Richard who was lying on the ground and made up a lie in a panic.
Lamont did not suspect anything and said, “Alright, you do that then. I’ll go first.”
After hanging up the phone, she wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and reached out to nudge Richard after seeing him lying motionless on the ground, “Get up! Stop pretending!”
There was still no response from him after a few nudges, so she kicked him with her foot, but there was still no movement. After examining him carefully, she realized that his forehead was bruised from her punch, and she was a little scared because she didn’t know if she held back or not just now. He wouldn’t die so easily from her punch, right?
In a panic, she called Valeria and said, “Miss Brown, help! I accidentally knocked Richard out!”
Richard didn’t expect her to be so oblivious. He pretended to faint because he was thinking of a good reason behind his drunken actions just now.
However, he didn’t expect her to call Valeria for help. Since it had come to this, he had no other choice but to pretend to be unconscious until the end.
A few minutes later, Valeria arranged for people to come over. Richard was brought to the hospital by the bodyguards, while Braelynn followed along.
Valeria didn’t know whether Richard was really unconscious or not, so she stayed up to wait for the news. She finally fell asleep in relief after the bodyguards in the hospital reported that his life was not in danger.
In the morning, she woke up to the feeling of someone kissing her face. She saw William when she opened her eyes.
He had already taken a bath and changed into a new set of clothes. With a smile on his face, he said, “I’m such a b*stard for drinking too much last night and letting my pregnant wife sleep in the guest room. I came over to apologize to you. I’m sorry!”
“Do you have a headache?” she asked as she put her arms around his neck.
“It’s alright.”
“‘It’s alright’? That means you have a headache! I’ll give you a massage.”
“You don’t have to. I’ll be fine in a while,” he kissed her again to gain her favor, “My dear, were you angry last night?”
“No, I wasn’t!”
“Really? Not even for Richard’s situation?”
“You mean Richard and Braelynn? You…” she looked at him, “Tell me the truth. Are you the one who encouraged him to do it?”
“No! How can that be? I’m not that bad!” he immediately explained.
“It must be you! Otherwise, you won’t be so guilty!” she suddenly came to the realization, “No wonder! Richard and Michael were so persistent in making you drunk last night, so I was wondering why they gave up after a while. It was because you gave him some tips on what to do, right? You are the culprit!”
He felt accused, “It’s really not me, I swear! I didn’t even have the time to speak to them alone last night. Don’t accuse me of things like this!”
“Then can you explain why they stopped pestering you to drink?”
“That was because I subtly threatened Michael. I have the antidote he needs in order to save Abbie, so I brought it up, and he didn’t dare to let me toast him four glasses of wine after that, so Richard had no other choice but to follow suit. It’s that simple!”
“You’re a sneaky guy, so I won’t believe whatever you say!”
“If you don’t believe in a good man like me, who else can you believe?” he said as-a-matter-of-factly, “My beautiful wife, I’m really not lying! Otherwise, I’ll swear on my name?”
“Forget it! I’ll let you go this time!” she just wanted to tease him with no intentions of blaming him.
Seeing that she was not angry, he helped her get up and accompanied her to have breakfast.
Braelyn came into their room and looked at Valeria with an embarrassed expression. The latter got the hint and asked William to leave first, “I want to talk to Braelynn privately. You can just go ahead with your plans!”
He immediately stood up and said, “I’ll go to the hospital to visit Richard.”
Braelynn’s face suddenly turned red after hearing his words. He left with his bodyguards with a smile, and Valeria asked her to take a seat and said, “You haven’t eaten yet, have you? I’ll ask someone to bring breakfast.”
She nodded and looked down at her feet. Although Valeria knew what happened last night, she still felt embarrassed, “Miss, I… I didn’t think it would be like this.”
Valeria smiled and reached out to hold her hand, “Are you okay?”
“I’m okay, I… If my dad didn’t call me, it would have been terrible! He… he crossed a line! I was too angry at that time because he probably thought that I was one of the prostitutes around him, so I couldn’t stop myself from hitting him.”
“It’s okay. He deserved it!”
“If Abbie finds out about it, will she be angry?” she asked worriedly.
“I think he’ll be too ashamed to even tell her about it!” Valeria sneered, “He probably won’t tell anyone about doing such a shameless thing!”
Seeing that Valeria didn’t take the whole ordeal seriously, she sighed in relief, “Well, Miss Brown, I lied to my father last night, saying that I was with you. If he asks you about it, please back me up.”
“I know, don’t worry. Let’s have breakfast first. You don’t need to worry about this anymore. If he dares to harass you again, punch him once more! Don’t hold back.”
