Chapter 67
"This is just a warning. Don't touch her again!" In the video, Arthur's eyes were filled with violence as he said directly.
Lizbeth looked at the phone without blinking, and her tears kept flowing down her cheeks.
She had done so much for Arthur. How could Arthur treat her like this?
She felt so hurt, so heartbroken!
Her breathing became more and more rapid, and her heart felt like it was being squeezed. She found it hard to breathe, and she felt a sharp pain along with it.
"I'm... I'm having a heart attack. Help... Help!"
...
At Lindbarry Chateau.
Arthur stood at the door of the bathroom with his arms crossed, saying coldly, "You have one more minute."
"Sir, please wait a moment. I'll be done in a jiffy!" His bodyguard was destroying the bathroom, feeling panicked.
As an elite bodyguard, how had he ended up doing such a task?
"Knock! Knock! Knock!" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
"Arthur, is my bag with you?" Lucy knocked on the door and pushed it open a crack.
Arthur pushed the bodyguard aside and kicked the bathroom switch.
"Clink!"
The switch fell to the floor by the bodyguard's feet.
The bodyguard was speechless.
How skillful, Mr. Johnson!
"What's wrong?" Lucy had already walked inside.
Arthur glanced at the switch on the floor and said expressionlessly, "The shower broke. I asked someone to fix it."
The bodyguard looked at him incredulously.
"Is my bag with you?" Lucy had wanted to video call Caden back in her room, but only then had she realized that her phone and bag weren't with her.
Arthur didn't say anything. He walked into the bedroom and fetched her bag.
"Thank you." Lucy took the bag and was about to leave.
Arthur followed behind her holding his pajamas and said plainly, "The shower in my room is broken. I'll shower in yours."
The bodyguard's eyes widened as he thought, 'D*mn, Mr. Johnson's so sly!'
"Can't the bathrooms in the other rooms be used?" Lucy stopped and looked up at him.
Thinking of the times Arthur had forced himself on her, she pursed her lips and gripped the hem of her shirt... She didn't want to be alone with him!
Arthur walked right past her and answered neatly, "No."
With that, he turned a left and went into Lucy's room.
Lucy gazed after his tall figure and felt speechless. Lindbarry Chateau was such a huge villa. How could there be no other functional bathrooms?
She stood in the corridor and did not know if she should go into the room.
Her past experience told her that Arthur was someone who couldn't control his lust, and if she were alone with him, he would devour her whole.
In the past, she had loved him, so she was willing to let him do that... But now, she didn't like him touching her!
"Mrs. Johnson, what can I do for you?" Aunty Julianne came over.
Lucy smiled, flashing her dimples. "Are there any empty guest rooms? I want to stay there for the night."
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Johnson." Aunty Julianne wiped her hands on her apron. "Mr. Johnson said that the guest rooms have not been cleaned in a long time, so it's time for me to change the bedsheets and tidy up. I'm afraid the guest rooms are temporarily unavailable."
"Alright, I understand." Lucy's smile was a little forced.
How could there be such a coincidence as Arthur's shower being broken and the other guest rooms being cleaned that same night?!
She licked her dry lips and forced herself to open the door.
Arthur was standing at the door with a cold expression, wiping his wet hair like nothing was out of the ordinary. His gaze fell on her body.
She was wearing a red dress that made her look very beautiful and dazzling. The sight of her slim waist made him feel hot.
His throat felt itchy for some reason, and he gulped. Then, he turned around as if he wasn't bothered.
However, it was too late. Lucy had spotted his erection under his towel.
"Arthur, it's just one night's sleep. You don't have to make things so complicated. Since I signed the
contract with you, I'll no doubt act accordingly." Lucy smiled mockingly, feeling very uncomfortable inside.
Sure enough, no matter the situation, he only thought about her body!
Arthur turned around, and water dripped down his sculpted abs.
He looked at her coldly for a while, sneered, and strode out of the room.
Lucy watched him leave and suddenly felt uncertain about what she had been so confident about. Could his broken shower and the guest rooms being cleaned really be a coincidence, and she had misunderstood him?
She pursed her lips. Thinking of his selfless expression when he had saved her and his care in this period of time, she suddenly felt like she was too heartless.
Even if he did not punish Lizbeth, he had indeed saved her and taken care of her.
Holding her bag, she stood there for a while in hesitation, then went into Arthur's room.
Arthur didn't even look at her. Sitting with his legs crossed, he was looking at his phone on the bed.
"Arthur, Arthur, did it work? You broke your shower and asked the servants to clean the guest rooms. Does Lucy think you're tricking her?
"Arthur, has Lucy misunderstood you?
"Remember, you have to control yourself tonight! If Lucy has misunderstood you, she will definitely come and apologize to you. Then, you shall hug her to sleep the whole night and not do anything. I guarantee she'll feel touched!
"Nothing beats a man who controls his lust. Lucy will definitely be so touched!
"Reply me!"
"Arthur, are you... are you still working?" Lucy had no choice but to speak up after being ignored for such a long time.
She remembered that he often dealt with his work documents on his phone.
Arthur glanced at her coldly and did not say a word. He continued scrolling through the "documents" on his phone.
"I misunderstood you. I'm sorry." He was so busy with work, but still took care of her for half a month. However, she had only given him the cold shoulder without saying a single word of thanks... She was indeed too much.
Arthur finally put down his "work" and beckoned to her. "Come here!"
"...mmm." Lucy hesitated for a moment before walking over to him. After all, she had misunderstood him earlier.
Arthur gave her an icy look, then shifted sideways to make space for her.
"... I'm going to take a shower first." Lucy couldn't figure out what he was getting at, so she found an excuse to go back to her room to take a shower.
It seemed like he didn't intend to have s*x with her, but he was making her share his bed. What exactly did he want to do?
Just innocently share a bed and sleep together?!
Even when she was done bathing, Lucy couldn't come up with a reason. However, a problem struck her... She hadn't brought pajamas.
Lucy wrapped herself in a towel and walked out of the bathroom. Trying her luck, she opened the built- in wardrobe——
Her clothes from five years ago were still there, and what's more, there were more than ten pieces of designer clothing of the latest fashion in there too.
She looked at the tags that were still on, and her defenses shattered... She thought he had long since tossed out her clothes!
Lucy quietly stood in front of the wardrobe for a while. Then, she chose a set of the most unrevealing pajamas and headed towards Arthur's room.
