Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 186

“Huh? But I didn’t see him go out.‘ Elsie wiped her hands on her apron. ‘But I remember hearing the sound of engine. last night. Maybe he left at night?” 

Elsie checked the bedroom and the study upstairs. 

Both rooms were empty. 

Kira sat at the breakfast table, holding her phone in hand. 

When she called Paul to apologise for her absence from the office for the past two days, the manager had sounded extremely understanding. 

She didn’t know what Kai told the manager, but Paul seemed to be under the impression that Kira had come down with a sudden bout of a mysterious illness that was keeping her bedbound. 

Paul even extended her leave by another week. 

Kira hung up the phone, relieved. 

With her arm like Popeye the Sailor’s, she was in no state to report for work. 

Kira shoved a spoonful of oatmeal in her mouth but tasted nothing. 

She replayed the events of the past three days in her mind. 

The way Austyn acted at the restaurant was a real shock to her. 

She had to admit, she was scared of him.

he’d made up her mind to divorce him, so she refused to let him touch her after they got home last night. 

He almost forced himself on her.

“Huh? What?‘ Kira was startled out of her trance. 

Elsie was sitting next to her and waving a hand in front of her face. ‘I called you several times. You didn’t hear me. What are you thinking so hard about?” 

‘Um, nothing.‘ 

‘You’ve barely touched your food.‘ Elsie patted Kira’s right arm. 

‘Ow!! 

“What?‘ Elsie jumped. ‘What’s wrong?” 

‘Nothing.‘ 

Elsie had already rolled up Kira’s sleeve. 

She gasped at the swollen arm. ‘What happened? Who did this to you? Young Master?
