The room was very quiet. Ava could only hear the sound of her heart as it pounded loudly in her chest!
She waited for him. She was excited as she waited for Michael to spoil her rotten. She increased her strength as she wanted Michael to put his hand on her as soon as possible.
Why did it stop? Why could she not pull it anymore?
Ava opened her eyes and looked at him in doubt. “Michael…”
His hand had stopped, but he had yet to touch her. He was so close! However, she could no longer pull his hand! He had refused to do so!
Why?!
Michael was expressionless as he retracted his hand.
Ava’s fingertips could only touch air. She stared at him in stupefaction as her eyes welled with tears.
“Michael, you promised Grandmother that you would…”
“What do you want?” Michael turned to the wine shelf and took a bottle of red wine for himself. “If there’s anything you need, you can look for Levi.”
Since he had made that promise, he would give her everything she needed as long as it was something that he could provide. Ava was quite well-off with him during that period. She could get everything that she wanted. However, the thing she wanted most—the very same thing that he was unwilling to give—was himself and his heart.
“Michael…”
“It’s late, please go back to your room.” Michael’s tone was feeble, but it was still very resolute.
He took his pajamas and walked into the bathroom.
When he closed the bathroom door so mercilessly, Ava could only bite her lips in sadness. She could feel a change in his breathing—a signal that he was not entirely disinterested in her.
Why was he unwilling to accept her? Was it because the two of them were not engaged yet, and he did not want to bully her? He never talked about their engagement, though, so how long did she have to wait for him?
Then, Levi knock on the door. Ava walked over and opened it.
Levi froze when he saw Ava in Michael’s room. It was already very late. Then, he said to her, “Miss Garcia, I have booked the ticket for you.”
The eldest young master’s figure was nowhere to be seen in the room, but he could hear running water in the bathroom. Michael must be in the shower. It looked like that woman had wanted to seduce the eldest young master again! There seemed to be no end to her shenanigans!
Levi donned a straight face and said, “Miss Garcia, it’s already so late. Eldest Young Master needs his rest. Please head back to your room and do not be a hindrance to Eldest Young Master!”
He stood at the door of the room and glared at her; he would not leave until she did. Ava really wanted to slap him in the face!
Levi was a sick man! Elena had been away for so long, but he was still on her side. Was that not madness? He must have thought Elena had a chance to be back at the mansion!
Nonsense! She had no chance at all! However, it did not seem like Levi wanted to accept that reality!
“This room will be mine sooner or later!” Ava sneered and walked out of Michael’s room. She raised her head high and puffed her chest proudly like a peacock.
Levi was not angry at all. In fact, he even smiled at her.
“Since Miss Garcia likes Eldest Young Master’s room so much, I’ll make sure to mention it to him and request that he gives you this room.”
“You…” Ava turned back to glare at him.
She wanted to tear apart the smile on that face! However, it was not the time to do that!
That bastard was too important for Michael. Even if she used some trick to frame him, Eldest Young Master Williams would never doubt him.
Even so, how could she continue to allow him to go against her? She narrowed her eyes and glared at Levi fiercely.
One day, she would ensure that Levi—as well as Elena—would disappear entirely from Eldest Young Master Williams’s life! They would just have to wait and see!
Levi did not actually want to oppose her since it was too tedious to do that. However, he could not stand it when she dressed like a slut to seduce Eldest Young Master so that he would do unspeakable things to her!
If Eldest Young Master got together with a scheming b*tch like her, Levi would be the first person to reject that relationship. That woman was ruthless, ill-intentioned, hypocritical, and evil!
If it were not for Eldest Young Master’s promise to the late Old Madam Williams to take care of her for a lifetime, did she think she could stay there with Michael? She had overestimated her appeal!
Levi only looked away once he saw Ava returned to her own room and closed her door. He glanced at Eldest Young Master’s room again, but the man was still in the bathroom.
Levi sighed in relief. He had been quite depressed and dispirited because Eldest Young Master had had a hard few days.
If things continued like that, he did not know if it were a good or bad thing. He could not stop it, though, and he had no idea whether he should stop it. At least, there was some kind of interaction between them, right? Even if the interaction was too cruel, too… terrible!
Then, Levi finally closed Michael’s door and left the room silently.
When Michael came out from the bathroom, the room was finally empty. It was already three in the morning.
He laid in bed, but he did not feel sleepy at all. The thought of Elena’s tears lingered in his mind. Her fragile little body had trembled under his pressure.
She was clearly frightened, but she bit her lips tightly and tried her best to feign calmness. In the end, however, he had bullied her to the point of tears.
Michael closed his eyes. He could not tell whether he retaliated or reveled in the pleasure.
However, his poor child never had a chance to see the world…
When he opened his eyes again, there was no longer any nostalgia in his eyes.
What he had left was a wolf-like thirst for blood, and a deep hatred…
…
When Elena woke up, the sun was already high up in the sky.
Sunlight streamed from outside the window and shone onto the crystal vase nearby. The reflected light was so bright that it had hurt her eyes.
She frowned and slowly opened her eyes. It felt as if there was someone beside her. She felt so warm and touched that she woke up abruptly.
Second Young Master Sharp’s flawless face instantly caught her attention. It was the first time that Elena had woken up in the same bed as him.
She felt something in her heart when she noticed the shadow formed by his long eyelashes. She blushed when she noticed his unbuttoned shirt. His neckline was wide open, and his sexy chest was in plain sight.
After a good night’s sleep, she had managed to suppress her grievances from last night. When she saw the half-naked handsome man, it nearly took her breath away.
Elena inhaled sharply and tried to think of a way to free herself from his embrace.
Little did she expect that the still-asleep hunk would suddenly reach out and pull her back with his long arms.
He turned over and pressed himself on her; his breathing had begun to turn erratic. “Seducing me so early in the morning?”
