The room was very quiet. Wendy 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 Hunter to spoil her rotten. She increased her strength as she wanted Hunter to put his hand on her as soon as possible.
Why did it stop? Why could she not pull it anymore?
Wendy opened her eyes and looked at him in doubt. “Hunter…”
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?!
Hunter was expressionless as he retracted his hand.
Wendy’s fingertips could only touch air. She stared at him in stupefaction as her eyes welled with tears.
“Hunter, you promised Grandmother that you would…”
“What do you want?” Hunter turned to the wine shelf and took a bottle of red wine for himself. “If there’s anything you need, you can look for Liam.”
Since he had made that promise, he would give her everything she needed as long as it was something that he could provide. Wendy 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.
“Hunter…”
“It’s late, please go back to your room.” Hunter’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, Wendy 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, Liam knock on the door. Wendy walked over and opened it.
Liam froze when he saw Wendy in Hunter’s room. It was already very late. Then, he said to her, “Miss Gale, 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. Hunter 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!
Liam donned a straight face and said, “Miss Gale, 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. Wendy really wanted to slap him in the face!
Liam was a sick man! Emily had been away for so long, but he was still on her side. Was that not madness? He must have thought Emily had a chance to be back at the mansion!
Nonsense! She had no chance at all! However, it did not seem like Liam wanted to accept that reality!
“This room will be mine sooner or later!” Wendy sneered and walked out of Hunter’s room. She raised her head high and puffed her chest proudly like a peacock.
Liam was not angry at all. In fact, he even smiled at her.
“Since Miss Gale 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…” Wendy 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 Hunter. Even if she used some trick to frame him, Eldest Young Master Jackson would never doubt him.
Even so, how could she continue to allow him to go against her? She narrowed her eyes and glared at Liam fiercely.
One day, she would ensure that Liam—as well as Emily—would disappear entirely from Eldest Young Master Jackson’s life! They would just have to wait and see!
Liam 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, Liam 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 Jackson to take care of her for a lifetime, did she think she could stay there with Hunter? She had overestimated her appeal!
Liam only looked away once he saw Wendy 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.
Liam 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, Liam finally closed Hunter’s door and left the room silently.
When Hunter 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 Emily’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.
Hunter 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 Emily 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 Emily 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.
Emily 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?”
