Byron did not deny his words, and the hostility around him was not restrained at all.Rosalie seemed to be held a little too tight, she let out an uncomfortable sound, and struggled slightly.Sensing the little woman's reaction, Byron loosened his strength, and gently patted and comforted her on the shoulder reassuringly.The display of the intimacy between the two made Xander even more dissatisfied."Miss Jacobs and I just had some wine with the patient's family members. We cured the old man, and his family members insisted on thanking us. The hospitality was hard to come by. Miss Jacobs accidentally drank too much. I will send her back."These words sounded like an explanation, but any smart person could tell that they were more like a declaration.A declaration toward Byron that he and Rosalie are from the same world, they treated the old man as a team, and accepted the family's gratitude together.All this has nothing to do with Byron!Byron naturally understood his implica
Byron had been carrying Rosalie in his arms down the stairs. However, she was still unconscious and showed no sign of waking.After helping her to fasten her seat belt and draping his coat on her, he walked to the driver’s seat and drove back to the hotel.He drove slowly for fear of waking Rosalie next to him.It was after nine in the evening when they were back at the hotel.“Rosie?”Byron parked his car and tried to wake the person beside him gently.Rosalie’s brows furrowed slightly, and she pulled the coat on her to cover her head in frustration, trying to shut out the voice.Her action melted Byron’s heart, and he caressed her hair. He got out carefully and carried Rosalie out of the car.It was cold and breezy outside. Even with his coat on, Rosalie felt cold and subconsciously buried herself in his arms.Byron tightened his grip and quickened his pace, walking fast and steadily.The guests who came and went into the hotel lobby saw the couple. They were both surprised
Without daring to look at the person on the bed, Byron turned around and went straight into the bathroom.A cold shower had barely calmed the restless desire in his body.After coming out of the bathroom, Byron intended to stay on the couch all night.Unexpectedly, just as he opened the bathroom door, a soft figure wrapped itself around him.The woman’s arm was wrapped around his neck.Byron stopped abruptly, and he looked at the person before him.However, Rosalie, whose lips were red from the kiss, was squinting her eyes and tiptoeing toward him.“Rosie?”Byron felt his body getting warmer, and his desire broke through the last bit of his rationality. His voice even turned hoarse when he spoke.Rosalie, however, seemed to not notice his voice and placed her lips on his.Facing the sudden attack from the woman, Byron felt that the cold shower was pointless.He put his hand on the woman’s slender back and led her to the bed.After placing her on the bed, Byron resisted the
Byron woke up before Rosalie did the following day.Rosalie was still sleeping soundly since she was drunk and had a tiring night.She lay in Byron’s arms, breathing calmly.Byron looked in his embrace and saw Rosalie’s beautiful eyelashes fluttering. She was breathing softly. It made her look adorable.Further down, there were traces of their passionate entanglement.Almost as soon as he saw those traces, the memories of the night before rushed into his mind.Byron’s breathing grew heavier, and he squeezed the woman in his arms and kissed her face, from her forehead to the corner of her eye and down to her…Rosalie felt the itch on her face and struggled to wake up in a daze.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Byron’s enlarged, handsome face. His warm breath was huffing on her.The man’s hand around her waist was warm.Startled, Rosalie realized the situation she was in. She pushed the man before her in shock and darted up with the quilt around her.The pain in her bac
Byron was still speaking.“Since it happened, you can blame me for it. It happened because I failed to control myself.”Rosalie covered her face shyly. “Stop it. I want to be alone and calm down. Can you please go out first?”A glint of amusement flashed across Byron’s eyes when he saw Rosalie’s reaction. However, he quickly hid it with a serious expression.“However, I’ve been thinking about it. What you did last night was unusual.”He looked at the woman before him affectionately. “Are you sure you don’t remember anything?”Rosalie covered her face and tried to remember.However, even after recalling for a long time, she could only remember how drunk she was and how Byron had appeared before her. As for the details, she remembered nothing about it.If it had not been for the hickeys, the marks on their bodies, and the pain in her back, she might not even know what had happened to her last night.After a while, she gave up thinking in frustration and shook her head. “I can’t
Rosalie, who had just calmed down, blushed again when she heard that. Even her ears were red.“It’s getting late. I want to take a shower and change my clothes. Go out quickly!”Blushing, she broke herself free from Byron’s hug and pretended to be angry as she glared at the man before her.With his forehead puckered, Byron sounded helpless as he said, “We’re in my room.”Rosalie froze and looked around carefully.Sure enough, she did not see her suitcase next to the bed. It was not her room.Just as she wanted to question Byron why she was in his room, Byron was quicker to react and explain.“You drank too much last night. I didn’t have your room card, so I had to bring you here first.”Rosalie could not retort to that.She frowned and looked around the room. The clothes she had worn yesterday were neatly folded at the foot of the bed and had the stench of wine.What she had on her now was the hotel’s night robe, which revealed her chest and neck.Rosalie did not think she w
Rosalie endured her back pain and took a simple bath.When she got dressed and walked out of the room, she saw the man in the corridor.“I’m done bathing.”Byron approached her when he saw her and held out his hand.Confused, Rosalie looked in the direction his hand was reaching, but she could not see anything because the angle was on her blind spot.She could only see Byron lifting her collar.Rosalie froze and soon realized why Byron was doing that. Subconsciously, she looked away from him, feeling shy.“I have to go to the free clinic. I need to go now.”Then, she walked past Byron.Byron knew that her mind was a mess now, and it was better to let her calm down for a while, so he said nothing.After watching her walk past him, Byron headed back to his room.Rosalie did not say she was going to the free clinic because she felt guilty. It was mainly because she worried about the old people at the nursing home.She looked at the time, and it was almost eight o’clock in the
Rosalie did not know why she did that, but deep down in her, she did not want Byron to misunderstand, especially about her relationship with Xander.After that, she observed Byron’s expression carefully.Byron’s displeasure dissipated a little when Rosalie explained herself.“He didn’t act out of the ordinary yesterday, and I had no conflict with him. I don’t know why he suddenly checked out.”He spoke expressionlessly as if his encounter and confrontation with Xander did not happen.Rosalie felt she might have misunderstood Byron and did not think much about it. She nodded. “I’ll call him and ask, then.”Byron was alarmed and subconsciously wanted to stop her.However, he thought of Rosalie taking the initiative to explain herself to him. Thus, he decided to give in this time and say nothing.Rosalie went back to her room after informing Byron and called Xander the first thing when she was in her room.It took a while for Xander to pick up. “Miss Jacobs, what’s wrong?”Rosal
