Chapter 91
After a brief exchange, Edward rose to take his leave.
"I shall call George later. George truly considers you a friend. You should let him know," he said.
I scratched my head awkwardly. "I'm merely concerned that you guys will worry."
He patted my shoulder. "Rest well. I'll explain things to George. Tomorrow, George and I will come to visit you."
After that, he turned to Mary and said, "Take care of John. I'm off."
"I'll see you out," Mary said.
She accompanied Edward to the door, then turned back, closed the door, and locked it from the inside. A sense of foreboding crept into my heart. "What are you up to?"
She hummed, "What do you think I'm up to?"
With my arms crossed, I warned, "I'm telling you. If you misbehave, I'll shout."
"Tell me. Did you lay a hand on the young girl last night?"
She leaned in and asked.
"On my honor, even if I had the intention, I lacked the courage. Given her standing and mine, would it be fitting?"
But I thought to myself, I confessed, 'Of course I did, but that's not something I can share with you.'
"Really?"
"I swear to the heavens. I had no relations with her."
Indeed, there was no intimacy. Everything happened without Lillian's awareness.
Mary's big eyes stared straight at me. I knew, at this moment, I couldn't falter. Any sign of weakness would be noticed by her.
So, I put on a bold front, my eyes filled with indignation and grievance.
"You pass!" Mary said.
I breathed in relief and pulled her close. "Tell me. How will you compensate me?"
"How about a kiss?"
I pursed my lips, motionless. She wrapped her hands around my neck and naturally planted a kiss.
Everything unfolded in that kiss.
I lost all sense of time. She weakly pushed me away. "You're suffocating me. My lips are swollen!"
"It's a retribution!" I said.
Suddenly feeling mischievous, I started nibbling on her neck.
"Oh, stop that. What if Edward sees it tomorrow?"
"Well... how about nibbling somewhere else, somewhere hidden?"
Blushing deeply, she protested. "I won't let you be naughty!"
Ignoring her protests, I playfully nudged closer, sinking into a warm embrace.
As I inhaled deeply, the intoxicating scent made my blood rush.
It wasn't a perfume scent or a body fragrance, but a milky aroma.
I felt like I was about to explode.
She held my head, emitting a seductive hum. "It's so early... You haven't even passed the probation period, and you want to be permanent?"
Caught up in the moment, I couldn't care less.
I marked her with my own, saying, "From now on, you're mine!"
"Come out," she said.
"I won't. I haven't finished marking you."
I acted stubborn, resembling a wild boar munching on cabbage.
Women sometimes meant in opposites. If you were too obedient, you might end up single for life.
"John..."
She ran her fingers through my hair, lips slightly parted, her skin turning a faint pink.
Such a complexion was simply irresistible.
After playfully leaving seven or eight hickeys, she melted into a puddle of softness.
I gently placed my hand on her knee, and then...
Her body trembled unconsciously, overly sensitive.
"You brought this upon yourself. Don't blame me."
I chuckled, ready to proceed...
Just then, a knock on the door interrupted us. "Room check!"
Damn!
A nurse was doing her rounds.
This was definitely not the best timing.
My desire faded a bit, and the haze in Mary's eyes began to clear.
She quickly got up from the bed, straightened her disheveled clothes, shot me a fierce glare, and went to open the door.
I seized the moment to lie back on the bed, pretending to be asleep.
The door opened, and a sweet-faced nurse wheeled in.
After confirming everything was fine, she exchanged a few words with Mary before leaving.
Mary locked the door again.
"Alright, she's gone. Stop pretending to sleep," she said.
I opened my eyes, noticing Mary's face was even redder than before.
"Come here, to your honey," I said.
"I won't. Your mind is full of dirty thoughts."
"Wow, you're saying that about me? I'm truly heartbroken."
I jokingly clutched my heart. "You chose to stay, and having such a beautiful lady by my side, if I don't do something, that's the real problem, right? This is a very normal behavior for a psychologically and physically healthy young man."
She rolled her eyes at me. "I won't listen to your nonsense."
She opened her collar, half embarrassed and half angry. "Look at what you've done to me. It looks like a dog chewed on me."
"You're too far. I can't see," I said.
"Can't you be serious for once?"
"Fine, I'll be serious."
I replied, "I'm feeling a bit tired. Come over here. Let me hold you. We can rest together, okay?"
"I won't. You're up to no good again," she replied.
Feigning weakness and exhaustion, I said, "If you don't believe me, forget it."
Then, I closed my eyes.
"Hey, then I'll come over, but promise you won't do anything bad!" Mary said.
I continued to ignore her, still pretending to be tired and pale from recent blood loss, looking even more fatigued now.
Footsteps approached, and she sat by the bed, nudging me. "John, you're not mad, are you?"
I half-opened my eyes and pulled her into my arms.
"Ah, I knew you were deceiving me, you big liar..."
After teasing her for a while, making her breathless, I whispered in her ear, "Silly girl, do you know how attractive you are to me? If I can resist, I wouldn't be a man!"
"But rest assured. I won't take you in a place like this. It wouldn't be fair to you. I know you feel more gratitude than affection toward me. That's not what I want. When the day comes that you truly rely on me, I will accept everything about you without reservation."
I continued, "I come from an average background, and I'm not very capable. To earn your favor is already a blessing. Thank you for being so good to me."
"John, I'm serious about you."
She sat up, lightly touching my temple with her left hand. "I just want more time to understand you. When the day comes that we truly understand each other, I will give myself to you completely and become your woman with peace of mind."
Looking at her affectionate smile, I found myself momentarily entranced.
