Contracted To Him By Her Father의 모든 챕터: 챕터 51 - 챕터 60

"Let me go," Sarah demanded between clenched teeth, wriggling urgently as she tried to get away from Lorenzo. To her frustration she could barely move and eventually she wore herself out and stopped moving. Sarah’s hands were braced on Lorenzo’s hard broad chest as she tried to keep her upper body away from Lorenzo’s; one of Sarah’s feet was dangling over the side of the bed and the other was trapped between Lorenzo’s legs. Sarah glared down into her husband's face but her eyes were closed and Lorenzo looked so relaxed that for an implausible moment Sarah actually believed that he might have fallen asleep. His eyelids lazily drifted up when Sarah stopped moving. "Just relax will you?" Lorenzo implored wearily. "I can't relax like this," Sarah whispered, and Lorenzo groaned before, with seemingly great effort, she shifted until they were both lying in the middle of the large bed. Lorenzo was on his back, his sock-clad feet, because he had somehow managed to kick off his sneakers

"I wasn't trying to prove anything," Sarah protested thickly.” I just didn't want to get emotionally involved again! I didn't want to start thinking that there was anything other than physical attraction between us. I can't afford to make that mistake again, i won't make that mistake again." "Mi dispiace davvero, cara," Lorenzo said regretfully as he got up and shoved his hands into his pockets to stare down at Sarah . "I can't give you what you want. Not the way you want it." "You did it before," Sarah pointed out, sitting up and swiping at her hot, wet cheeks. "We can just go back to that." "There's no going back to that," Lorenzo negated harshly, voice strained. "Never again." "I know I'm not your type." Sarah strove to sound casual about that painful fact and ignored the slight sound of dismay that seemed to rumble out from deep within Lorenzo’s broad chest. "Compared to all those supermodels and actresses, I know I've always been miss Dull and Dowdy, but you overlooked

Neither Lorenzo and Sarah said anything for a while; they just listened to the rain and watched it cascading down the window like a waterfall. "I want you to meet my father," Lorenzo suddenly announced unexpectedly, and Sarah froze before turning her head slowly to meet Lorenzo’s brooding eyes. "What?" "My father," Lorenzo repeated, and Sarah bit her lip before clearing her throat uncertainly. "I don't know if that's..." Sarah began, but Lorenzo interrupted her before she could finish. "His condition is deteriorating rapidly," Lorenzo said abruptly. His voice broke slightly as he said the words and his jaw clenched. "Oh, Lorenzo, I'm so sorry," Sarah whispered, her eyes going liquid with sympathy for her husband. "When's your flight?" "I'm not leaving," Lorenzo told her grimly, and Sarah’s eyes shadowed in confusion, before flaring as she realized why Lorenzo refused to go and be with his father. " Lorenzo." Sarah’s voice was so low it barely carried to the man who sa

Lorenzo and his father were now having a solemn conversation, and the older man started pausing more and more frequently, seeming to lose track of his thoughts more and more until his wife stepped in and called a halt to the conversation. "Mamma says he is tired and needs to take his medication and rest," Lorenzo whispered to Sarah, as they watched the older man protest before allowing himself to be wheeled, for he was in a wheelchair, and out of the room with a few last farewells to Sarah and Lorenzo. Lorenzo’s hand was squeezing Sarah’s wrist so hard that it stopped the blood flow into her fingers, but Sarah didn't protest, knowing that Lorenzo was probably wondering if it would be the last time he would ever see or speak to his father. They watched in silence as the door closed behind his mother's elegant form before they became aware of the fact that another person was in the room on screen. A wizened old woman suddenly plonked herself into the seat Lorenzo’s mother had just

Lorenzo did nothing more than just kiss her, Lorenzo kissed her like he would never get the chance to do so again. He kissed like a man who knew that he would have to go without sustenance for an unknown amount of time. Finally, chest heaving, Lorenzo lifted his head and stared intently down into his omega's dazed face. "You're so beautiful amore," Lorenzo whispered gently. "The most beautiful thing in my life. I don't want to leave you here. Not now." "I'll be fine," Sarah reassured. This time she was the one to reach up and stroke Lorenzo’s worried face. "The baby will be fine. I have Elisa and Luke. You have to take care of your family now, Lorenzo." "You're my family too." Lorenzo repeated his words of the previous afternoon. "I have to take care of you too." "No." Sarah reached around him to shut off the water and met Lorenzo’s eyes squarely. "I can take care of myself. And to be honest, having you here when you should be with your family will just add to my stress." Loren
