Emmeline smiled and nodded, “Yes, it’s a little uncomfortable.”
Evelyn said, “I knew it. Mr. Abel is just taking care of you because he has no choice.”
Emmeline chuckled, “Hehe. You’re right that he has no choice. After all, if he doesn’t take care of me, who else could?”
The reason she was in pain was because he had gone too hard in bed. Naturally, he had to bear the responsibility.
Evelyn reassured herself, “Mr. Abel is a sentimental man. Even though he doesn’t love you anymore, he still takes care of you. That’s the kind of man I like.”
Emmeline narrowed her eyes and asked, “Then what of you and Abel? Have you two finally developed feelings after so long?”
“…” Evelyn’s expression turned gloomy for a moment before replying, “I like our relationship now. There’s plenty of time for feelings later on.”
“Is that so?”
Evelyn had a haughty expression as she said, “Yes, it is. At least he’s not just being nice to me out of obligation like he does you. Since he doesn’t love you anymore, why shouldn’t he be able to love me? Not to mention, we have an arranged marriage, so our relationship will only get better with time.”
Emmeline smiled, “Well, aren’t you the confident one? I’m quite impressed really.”
“If I were you, I would have already realized my presence is unwanted here. Why be a thorn in someone else’s eyes?”
Emmeline sighed, “Oh, you’re absolutely right. Just look at all the wounds Abel has given me. I really should be staying far away from him.”
She casually pulled her shawl down as she said this.
The little reddish marks on her neck, shoulder and collarbone immediately caught Evelyn’s attention.
Evelyn was stupefied.
No matter how ignorant she was, she knew what exactly these ‘reddish marks’ were.
Evelyn couldn’t contain her surprise as she asked, “How did you get so many love bites? And they’re so red. Who did it?”
Emmeline smiled, “I just said it was Abel. Can’t you see that I can barely even walk because of him? He’s not just being nice to me out of obligation. He’s also… very enthusiastic and strong… Oh, I can hardly take it.”
