Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the fierce battle, Irene was sweating profusely in Ronald’s arms. Ronald looked at the marks on her wrist. After he calmed down, he asked with worry for Irene, “Does it hurt?”
Actually, Ronald didn’t tie her up too tightly. The marks were caused by Irene’s excited wriggling. At that time, Irene was in extreme pleasure and didn’t feel any pain on her wrist.
“It hurts.” Irene had to put on an act. “I was right to call you a pervert.”
Ronald rubbed the marks on Irene’s wrist. It was a languid feeling that hadn’t dissipated yet. “Well, I’m a pervert to you only.”
Irene slept soundly. When she opened her eyes, she felt refreshed. Ronald was no longer in the room. Irene changed her clothes and tried to pull the door open. She didn’t expect it to open.
So, he wasn’t angry with her and let her go?
Irene felt empty in her stomach after letting go of this matter. Ronald really made her suffer so much every time.
She dragged her slippers and walked towards the dining room, but Ronald wasn’t the only one in the dining room.
At the long table, Ronald and Wen Shaoqing sat opposite each other. They didn’t say a word, but Irene felt a strange aura in the air.
Irene quietly walked to Ronald’s side and sat down. Only then did Ronald ask the servant to bring her breakfast.
Irene felt that at this moment, the tension between Ronald and Wen Shaoqing broke. The silent smoke between the two slowly dispersed.
Wen Shaoqing finished the last mouthful of milk, put down the cup, and glanced at Irene indifferently.
Seeing her bright pink face that resembled a peach blossom, it was obvious that she had been pampered by a man. His hands unconsciously tightened as he instructed the servant, “I’m going out today. There’s no need to cook for me at noon.”
Irene reacted quickly and turned to pull on Ronald’s sleeve. “I want to go out too.”
Ronald turned to look at her, his pair of blue eyes staring straight at her with a pitiful look.
He wanted to agree, but then he remembered that it was not safe outside now.
Celt and Murcia’s soldiers had already entered Croce. Going out now was no doubt going into the gun barrel. He patted Irene’s head. “Stay in the manor obediently. There’s a mountain behind the manor. I’ll bring you there after dinner if you want?”
Irene pouted and looked very unhappy. “Hmph, I’m not eating anymore. I’ll go feed the cat.” After saying that, she left the dining room.
Ronald looked at her breakfast that she had not even touched. He knew that she was throwing a tantrum. If he chased after her now, he would probably be even more disliked. ‘Forget it. I’ll bring it to her room later.’
Irene caught up with Wen Shaoqing’s footsteps. Her eyes shone with excitement. “So you promise to deliver the letter for me?”
Wen Shaoqing looked straight ahead, his hands in his pockets, his expression calm and indifferent. “Go get it quickly. If my brother finds out, we’ll both be in trouble.”
Irene could imagine that if Ronald knew that she was secretly communicating with Linda, he would probably not only lock her up again, but also implicate Wen Shaoqing. So she rushed to the room to get the letter.
When Ronald entered the room with the tray, Irene was lounging on the sofa while reading a book.
Ronald came closer and saw her pout that reached the heavens. He kissed her and said, “Are you still angry? Right now, your father’s men are searching for you outside. You really can’t go out.”
Father acted very quickly. Had he already entered Croce?
Ronald looked at Irene’s furrowed brows and thought that she was worried about being taken away. “Don’t worry. As long as you stay in the manor, your father won’t be able to take you away.”
Irene threw herself into Ronald’s arms. “Well, I don’t want to be separated from you. I’ll listen to you. During this period of time, I’ll stay in the manor for a walk and feed the cat.”
Ronald felt that Irene was sometimes as obedient as a cat, and sometimes as sly as a fox.
But it was fine. With him guarding her, she shouldn’t be able to cause any trouble.
