Chapter 102 Don’t Move

Book:The Reborn Wife Published:2024-5-1

Michael turned his back to the bed and took off the bathrobe.
To Elena’s surprise, he changed his clothes right in front of her in a graceful manner.
It was the first time she realized that the view of someone in the simple act of changing clothes could look so ravishing!
He did not do anything extraordinary. He was just merely putting on his shirt and buttoning it up. Even the gesture of putting on pants which were usually unsightly for normal people, he handled it so well like a fascinating performance!
His strong and muscled back like an inverted triangle that tapered into a taut waist was so attractive!
The hard lines of his toned muscles were captivating.
Elena hurriedly bowed her head as Michael turned around to avoid eye contact with him.
She knew if she continued to ogle at him, she would invite ridicule from the sadistic man.
“How do you feel to be cheating?” The fully dressed man looked down at her.
Elena lifted her head abruptly and their sights met instantly. She had a lot to say for her defense but she was at a loss of words when they looked into each other.
After a while, she finally replied, “I’m not guilty at all.”
Did Michael not meet up with Luacs earlier that day? If he managed to get to the hotel, he would have already known why Elena and her friends were at the hotel. The four of them had always stayed together under all situations. Was it strange for Elena and Layla to visit Luacs at the hotel?
Moreover, he knew that Luacs was injured the night before in the attempt to save her…
Wait, Layla?
Her face changed instantaneously as she was reminded of something and she clambered out of the bed.
“We still do not know how many of them are lurking around. Are you sure you want to leave now?”
Those students were out of their minds. Only about thirty of them were taken away but it was a mystery if there were more of them that skulked out of sight in other levels or at all the entrances and exits of the hotel. Though the issue was likely settled, they were not sure if there were other people that were scheming for more troubles.
“But, just now Layla…”
“What could that girl do for you?” Michael looked smug and snorted.
Nevertheless, a small and weak girl like Xiaomi went as far as to block the corridor to buy time for Elena to flee. Michael must admit that it was totally out of his expectations. That girl was indeed a true friend to Elena.
In fact, if Michael was willing to acknowledge the truth that not only Layla, Caleb, and Luacs too were true friends to Elena. The four of them could give up their lives for each other. However, the haughty and stubborn Eldest Young Master Williams was not willing to accept such jejune idea!
Elena composed herself and thought carefully. She remembered that there was not much going on outside of the room. Where had Layla gone?
“Your people helped her?” She looked at Michael.
Michael did not give her an answer. That chap, when he refused to talk, it was to no avail to keep shooting questions at him. He would not say a word at all. She adjusted her clothes and got ready to go out.
Unexpectedly, Michael shot up to her and caught hold of her wrist. With a stern look, he said to her, “I repeat, don’t go out now!”
“I’m going to look for Layla.” He did not answer her so she had to go find out herself.
Michael narrowed his eyes and scrutinized her face. “This lady was challenging my patience,” he thought to himself.
He had never in his life treated a girl so well. Neither would he spend time nor effort on another woman. For women that rub him the wrong way, he might even order for them to be dumped into the sea as fish’s meal. This woman! He swore to not be bothered by her yet he came all the way to her rescue knowing that she was in hot soup! But, she was not at all appreciative!
“Levi is outside. What could happen to your friend?” He made a puff sound and threw away her wrist.
Elena stared straight at him, dumbfounded. Keeping his aloof nature, the man walked over to the desk and opened a bottle of wine.
“Don’t drink. It’s still day time, what if you have to drive later…”
“You cared about me?” He placed the bottle back on the desk but his hand was still around the bottle. He whipped his head around to look at her quizzically.
Elena pouted her lips and replied, “I just don’t want to see you appearing on the news headline tonight for drink and drive.”
Knowing that Layla was together with Levi, she felt assured. Though Levi seemed to be on the receiving end of torment usually, she knew that only the Eldest Young Master Williams could bully Levi. She was very much at ease with the ability of Levi. There was not a weak person working alongside the Eldest Young Master Williams.
Shifted her attention back at them, she realized that there were only two of them in the room at that moment. Why did she feel that the atmosphere had become rather weird? Elena was on her edge. After a while, she walked towards the sofa. Why did she feel that the temperature in the room had risen when the air condition was on?
What were Layla and Levi doing at that time?

Layla was taken into an empty room by Levi. What exactly were they doing in the room? Actually, there was nothing much to do. All they did was to stand behind the room door, straining their ears to listen to the movement on the other side of the door.
Layla was struggling violently in Levi’s arms so he covered his hand over her mouth and subdued her in his embrace. Whenever they heard something from the outside, Layla would struggle even more.
Levi sounded glum, he said to her, “Don’t move. The Eldest Young Master would not allow any harm to be fallen on the Young Madam.”
Eldest Young Master… Young Madam?
Layla went wide-eyed. Was the Eldest Young Master there to their rescue? The voice of the guy behind her too sounded familiar. Could he be the one that pulled her out from the sea the other day? Levi?
The noise outside was getting louder. Layla held her breath and tried all her might to eavesdrop. She was afraid that Elena might be in trouble. Layla and Levi were both quieter than before until there was no more sound from the outside.
Layla let out a breath. From what she managed to pick up, those students must have been taken away. She could hear them crying and begging for mercy, possibly were dragged away forcibly!
Finally, Xiaomi found an outlet to vent her anger. What were they crying for? If the Eldest Young Master Williams did not make it in time, Elena would be in their trap and god knew what they would do to her! How dare they cried! It was just an eye for an eye!
She was feeling very much at ease but very quickly she realized something else was not right. Her mouth was still covered by Levi and she could not speak at all. Her eyes traveled down her body and she almost fainted out of great shock.
“Mmm, mmm…” Layla gripped onto Levi’s arms, trying to lift them away from her body.
Levi got impatient. “Move again and I’ll…”
He, too, looked down at his hands and was caught surprised. He swallowed his words awkwardly. What was in his hand? He really did not do it intentionally; he was not aware of it at all!
The texture, soft and bouncy…
It felt quite nice actually. Then, it happened, totally out of his instinct, his eyes lightened up as his fingers tightened around it, giving it a light squeeze…
