Chapter 785 Let Me Have a Look
When she woke up the next morning, it was almost 10 o’clock, which should be the last time she had gotten up comfortably in
so many years.
She put her hands on the bed and was about to get up. However, as soon as she moved her legs, she couldn’t help but cry out in pain.
She frowned and froze, not daring to move. She took a deep breath and was about to slowly move out of bed when the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside.
A gust of wind blew over, and she immediately covered her body with the quilt.
Looking at the woman who was sitting at the head of the bed and tightly wrapping herself up, there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes. “You’re awake? Lucas wants to see you, but he didn’t listen to me. He’s sulking with me in the bedroom.”
After that, he gritted his teeth again and said, “It’s time to change his habit. This kind of dependence is not a good sign.”
She looked at him coldly. Thinking of how he was indifferent when she begged him for mercy last night, she was a little annoyed. She looked at him with a small face and said, “Get
out.”
He had just suffered a lot from his son, but he didn’t expect to be bullied after entering the room. He was a little puzzled and asked, “What’s wrong in the morning?”
“What’s wrong?” After saying that, she couldn’t help complaining. “Last night, you… you were like that. I’m in so much pain now.”
“It hurts!”
The man frowned and then reached out to pull the quilt off her body. Evelyn noticed his action and quickly rolled to the side, even though this action made her almost scream in pain. “What are you doing?”
“I’m not doing anything. I’m good at it.”
She immediately wrapped herself tighter around herself and glared at him angrily. “No!”
“Be good and listen to me. Let me have a look.” Maybe he remembered that he had gone too far last night, so he didn’t get angry but persuaded her patiently.
“There’s no need to look. It’s already like this.” She didn’t believe a single word from him now. After all, last night was already a bloody lesson.
Besides, she hadn’t been like this for a long time. It was normal
for him to be so ruthless.
He leaned forward slightly, put his hands on both sides of her
body, and imprisoned her in his own space. He grabbed her wrist and lifted her up. The next second, he pulled away the quilt on her body and threw her aside.
She looked at him in disbelief. “You!”
The man’s eyes fell on the body under the quilt. The original white skin was full of traces of his rampage. The ambiguous red marks and bruises were intertwined on the snow–white skin, which
looked extremely decadent. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Her skin was thin, and it would usually turn red for a long time if one pulled her wrist hard. Although he had deliberately restrained himself last night, he still… Looking at the bruises that were getting darker and darker after a night, the man frowned and couldn’t help but let go of her wrist.
She immediately wrapped herself up again and looked at him warily. “You can’t be…?”
Before she could finish her sentence, Huston understood what she meant. He had originally thought that the fire of five years would not go out in one night. However, when he saw the bruises on her body, he no longer had any other thoughts in his mind. Instead, his heart was filled with heartache.
Just as she was extremely nervous and thinking about how to deal with him later, a gentle force suddenly fell from the top of her head. She looked up and saw the man’s palm reaching out.
He gently stroked her little head as if he was caressing his beloved pet.
Evelyn was stunned. When she met the man’s gentle gaze, she was a little stunned. This was completely different from last night’s image of a ferocious beast.
The next sentence undoubtedly surprised her even more.
He caressed her head affectionately and said guiltily, “I’m sorry. I tried my best to restrain myself, but I still hurt you.”
She blinked and couldn’t wrap her head around it. Was that why he was apologizing to her last night?
