Grayson's breathing grew heavier and heavier.At some point, his hands were clenched into fists, and his eyes showed a glint. As he stared at Belle lying on the bed, he was tempted to go over and subdue her. He wanted to tease her until she begged for mercy, her eyes swollen from crying.However, he ultimately restrained himself. Grayson had to consider their future if he slept with her.One should have only one partner for the entire life. Grayson was a traditional person. If he slept with her, she would have to be his wife for the rest of her life, and Grayson didn't like her.He could never love her when all she did was to piss him off. With that thought, Grayson turned toward the bathroom with a darkened expression. He went to take a cold shower.Just as Grayson entered the bathroom, his phone rang, awakening Belle.Furrowing her brows in irritation, she pulled the blanket over her head. Although she tried to ignore the sound, the phone kept ringing.Belle was annoyed.
"Belle! Shut your mouth if you know what's good for you," Grayson replied angrily.However, Belle one-upped him. "My fists know what's better for me!""You … Do you really think that with Grandpa protecting you, I wouldn't dare to do anything to you? Who do you think you are? Not a single person in Maltford would be so daring!""Hah! You still act like you've done nothing wrong after waking me up in the middle of the night. Who do you think you are? Not a single beast in the mountains would be so daring either!"Mountains? Beasts? Grayson was confused by her words."What are you talking about?""I said, I'm going to teach you a lesson!""You—""Are you still trying to argue? Have you lost your common sense that you don't think it's your fault for waking someone up in the middle of the night?"Grayson was infuriated by his wife. Throughout his life, he had never encountered anyone so arrogant and audacious."Belle Walters!""What are you shouting? Do you want to see who's b
Grayson's expression turned for the worst. As he glared at Belle, his chest heaved with anger. She had exposed his naked body! He muttered under his breath, "That bitch!" He couldn't help but feel molested. "Belle Walters!"Grayson's furious roars reverberated through the house.However, Belle remained tightly cocooned under her blanket. She covered her ears and pretended not to hear his cries.She was too embarrassed to face him after what had just happened. It was also the first time she had witnessed such a scene.It had been too much of an excitement. Grayson clenched his teeth in anger before returning to the bathroom to finally put on his boxers. He then rushed back to the bed."Belle, get the hell out!""No way!"Belle saw no point in emerging from her cocoon of blankets to continue their quarrel. She was still embarrassed by what she saw.She couldn't help but think that she had taken advantage of Grayson's body. She believed that he would surely seek revenge.
Grayson was caught off guard and unable to dodge the blow, taking a hit from the broken door. His nose and forehead bore the brunt of the impact, causing him to emit a small cry as he frowned in pain. The collateral damage included a valuable high-tech door lock.As soon as the door lock shattered, alarms throughout the house began blaring. Bodyguards swiftly emerged from all corners of the house. They formed a protective perimeter around Grayson to assess and inquire about his condition."Mr. Page! Are you alright?""Mr. Page! Are you okay?""Mr. Page!""Mr. Page!""Mr. Page!"The lights inside the house flicked on one by one. It was suddenly bustling with activity in the middle of the night.Grayson's assistant and his most formidable personal bodyguard, Jake White, made his rare appearance. Noticing the bruise on Grayson's forehead, he frowned and asked, "Mr. Page, what happened? I was confident that no suspicious individuals had entered the vicinity, and yet the alarm
Grayson, seething with anger, roughly grabbed Belle's clothing. He had kept himself pure for his 29 years of life, only to be claimed as dysfunctional by someone who had just molested and witnessed his naked body.He thought that Belle needed to be taught a lesson. Grayson's actions were forceful. But his intention was clear. He intended to engage intimately with Belle. Belle was taken aback by his behavior and began to feel overwhelmed with panic.She had fabricated the story about his physical issues in a fit of anger and spite after he locked her outside in the cold.They had a prenuptial agreement that excluded intimacy, but her words had apparently provoked him to break that promise.She silently said, "Fuck!""Fuck off, Grayson! If you dare try to take advantage of my body, I will make you regret your actions!"Grayson, however, ignored her warnings. He gripped her wrists, pulled them over her head, and began kissing her.Belle quickly turned her head away, and the
Grayson paused for a moment before responding, "I remember you.""You finished your current batch of scented sachets abnormally fast, so I decided to contact you directly. May I ask if you've taken any other medications apart from using my scented sachets?""Nothing else.""Then, has anything recently happened that might have affected your mood?"Grayson immediately thought of Belle and June. Their altercations indeed had affected him."There are some unpleasant incidents, yes.""Hmm … There is a possibility that your emotions cause your current anomaly. However, we can't completely rule out medical factors just yet.""I will be visiting Maltford soon. Why don't we meet up if you're available? I can give you a medical checkup and replenish your scented sachets.""For now, could you try not using any of the scented sachets and simply endure it?"Grayson frowned in response. He could try enduring it, but sleep was crucial for the human body. He began to worry that nights of in
The questions in Grayson's mind kept increasing. Soon, Grayson was at his limit. Tapping his cigarette against the ashtray, he picked up his phone and called Henry.As soon as the call went through, he asked right away, "Have you still not found anything?"Henry was looking up on urologists. When he heard Grayson's question, he answered right away."I'm almost there. Mr. Page, when do you have time for consultations? I can help you book some appointments. I've contacted quite a few doctors for you. They're all quite famous!"Grayson didn't understand what he was saying. "What do you mean by consultations?""Mr. Page, you don't have to be shy around me. We all know your secret. Don't feel inferior. It's okay. After you get treatment from the doctors, you'll perk right up. Ms. Walters will be amazed!"Grayson's expression turned dark. "What are you on about?"Henry spoke three terms. "Kidney weakness, erectile dysfunction, and premature aging."Grayson's lips were pursed into a t
Grayson suddenly recalled how helpless young Belle looked when she was hiding everywhere.His heart ached for some reason. But the ache lasted for only a split second. It went by so fast that he didn't notice it himself.He was wondering what Belle did that the entire society refused to accept her. She even had to hide in desolate areas to survive.He asked himself, "But she was so young. She couldn't have done anything wrong. So, more accurately, what did her family do?"Moreover, she had been living in an uninhabited area."So how did Grandpa decide that she was worthy of being my wife? She's going to be the future young Mrs. Page, after all."Also, what's the relationship between Belle's grandfather and Grandpa? How did they end up working together so that Belle and I would get married?"Grayson lit another cigarette, continuing to smoke.Without a doubt, there must be a huge secret behind Belle.But he didn't know what it was.He didn't know what that secret had to do wit
