Chapter 343 Deliberate Provocation
The next day was no different.
The third day was also the same.
But by the fourth day, Emrys couldn’t bear it any longer. Taking advantage of Ninette’s slumber, he gently moved her small hand aside and rose from the bed, making his way to the living room couch. There, he sat staring blankly at the chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Why is life so challenging?
It was unclear how much time had passed when a creak sounded, and Cordelia suddenly emerged from her bedroom, rubbing her eyes.
She had gotten up to use the bathroom, having drunk too much milk before going to bed the previous night.
“Huh? Why is the living room light on… Rys, what are you doing sitting on the couch so late at night? You really startled me!” Cordelia said, covering her trembling chest, her voice tinged with mild annoyance.
With a haggard expression, Emrys replied, “Delia, I can’t sleep. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep for several nights now.”
Cordelia paused for a moment, then let out a cold laugh, saying, “Can’t sleep? I thought you were enjoying yourself. With a stunning beauty like Ninette serving you in bed, how could you possibly have trouble sleeping?”
She was well aware of Emrys’ predicament.
It was indeed torturous for him to have a beauty like Ninette right before his eyes, yet he couldn’t
touch her.
If Ninette hadn’t slept next to him, it would have been better. At least he wouldn’t have had wild thoughts. However, Ninette insisted on sleeping while holding him. That would have been fine, but she also had a habit of randomly grabbing things in her sleep.
Who could possibly endure that?
Emrys complained, “Delia, why do I feel like you’re reveling in my misfortune?”
“Setting aside the sentiment, I am indeed reveling in your misfortune. You deserve it. I think the martial arts technique you’ve been practicing is truly exceptional. It’s perfect for teaching you a lesson. You’re not exactly a eunuch, but you might as well be one. Haha!”
Cordelia made no attempt to hide her emotions. She was utterly ruthless.
“You’re clearly just jealous,” Emrys suddenly said.
