He watched her in a daze for a short while before he walked to the side of the bed and took a seat. He stretched out his arm in an attempt to pry at her shoulder. She cried but refused to pay attention to him, so the only thing he could do was to pry at her strenuously and turn her over. He did not expect her to use the momentum to throw herself into his arms and bite his shoulder ferociously. She bit him so relentlessly that she drew blood almost instantaneously. Nonetheless, she still found th
Wade hesitated ever so slightly before he asked, “What should I do with the Konstantin family? Shall I send someone over to search their place?”They had seized the opportunity provided when Madam Konstantin was warded in the hospital for the past few days to send someone over to search the Konstantin house meticulously. Not a single document or information related to Edward Levin could be found. There was no telling if it was Madam Konstantin who had hidden it secretly or if the Konstantin fam
The cold war was resolved at this point. On the same night, Edward stopped sleeping in the guest bedroom. After a few days of separation, he was having difficulty suppressing his inevitable urges. However, she retreated backward without the slightest hesitation as she watched his body approach her due to the lingering fear following the previous incident. She shouted aloud ferociously but was actually fearful inside, “Edward, if you dare to force yourself on me again, I’ll bite you to death!”H
Vivian was stunned for a moment. She wanted to pull her finger back subconsciously, yet he bit down and refused to let go. He did not exert much strength as he gnawed at her finger gently with humor in his eyes. He stared at her and curled up the tip of his tongue to lick her finger pad softly over and over again. Her cheeks were flushed scarlet and she had an obvious look of embarrassment on her face. She tried to struggle free from him, but she was still on a call with her mother and dared not
Perhaps because he was in a really good mood, Edward’s lips were curled into a faint smile when he went downstairs. When he received Alfred’s call to remind him about the morning meeting, he replied in a kind tone, “Alright, noted. I’m heading there right away.”Apart from Alfred’s reaction from the other end of the call, Wade almost fainted from shock upon seeing Edward’s response. He sized Edward’s up expression cautiously and determined that he was really in a good mood before he said, “Mast
The phone rang for a long while before she picked it up. He chuckled and asked, “What are you doing?”Her voice sounded intentionally lowered when she answered the call, “What else can I do? I’m helping my mom pack. What’s the matter? Speak quickly if you have anything to say. She will be looking for me in a while.”He cracked into a smile. The words ‘I miss you’ at the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back. With a soft chuckle, he said, “Nothing. I’m tired of work, so I feel like teas
“What do you want?” Mrs. Carraway asked.“Handbags and stuff,” Vivian replied offhandedly. “Import taxes make them a lot costlier than when they’re sold in their country of origin. I’ll send you the pictures some other time. Just refer to them.”“Alright,” Mrs. Carraway answered as she made herself comfortable by the edge of the bed. She studied her daughter with words held at the tip of her tongue, but ultimately, she let loose a question, “Viv, what does Edward Levin do for a living? What's hi
It was possible that Vivian’s docile, meek attitude these few days had defused much of Mr. Carraway’s initial hostility as his expression had visibly softened from a few days ago. During the meal, he seemed to have abandoned the cold war he had waged against his daughter. “Take care of yourself when you’re at home alone. Be mindful of where you’re going, alright?” Vivian did not expect her father’s sudden expression of concern, but she hurriedly answered nonetheless, “Understood.”Mr. Carraway
