Hearing that deep and familiar voice, Raelynn was petrified right there and then.
It was over!
She was caught!
"God, please give me a chance at survival," she begged.
Just a little bit more and she would have been able to escape.
Kenneth had woken up a long time ago, but he lay still without moving a muscle when he saw the petite woman in his arms still deep in slumber.
He partly also wanted to observe what she would do when she woke up. Unexpectedly, she was a stubborn one who attempted to escape yet again.
"Isn't it about time you came back here?" His voice was low, and in its depths was anger.
Raelynn's hunched figure sat down, bare-legged.
No, no, no, she didn't hear anything, she could continue going forward.
She closed her eyes and continued walking away.
Kenneth was stupefied.
"Raelynn, do you think you can run?"
Those words instantly triggered Raelynn.
She straightened up quickly, turning to look at the man sitting on the bed with a flustered expression. The quilt covered up till his waist, revealing his toned upper body alluringly.
Raelynn was pale, her hair tousled. Her beautiful, doe-like eyes were pried wide open in anger. Most eye-catching of all were her rosy lips, ravaged yet beautiful, like a rose.
When Kenneth thought of that soft touch, his gaze burned.
Raelynn withered under that passionate look. She peered away and mumbled, "I-I just wanted to use the bathroom."
Raelynn ignored the aches in her body.
The morning sun blazed brightly; the entire room was bathed in sunlight.
Kenneth's fair skin was dyed a bronze shade. His enticing scent wafted towards Raelynn.
The events of the previous night replayed in her mind, frame by frame.
Raelynn was quiet. She thought to herself, "Too sexy."
However, a wave of shame instantly washed over her. She wanted to kill herself on the spot, but she lacked the fortitude.
Kenneth's gaze on her was complex. He did not believe her claim.
Raelynn was still wearing his pajamas. She was not short, but his shirt was long enough to cover her up.
"Come back." Kenneth's tone did not leave any room for debate.
Raelynn regretted her impulsive courage. She should have run out instantly.
"W-Why?" Raelynn stepped back warily.
Kenneth cracked a smile. His charming face revealed that he was in a good mood.
"Come here." Kenneth was as domineering as ever.
"I won't." Raelynn's temper flared. "I won't go. What can you do to me?"
Kenneth narrowed his eyes, radiating a dangerous aura. "Aren't we going to have a proper talk about what happened last night?"
Raelynn's heart skipped a beat.
She didn't dare to meet his gaze. "What... what happened last night? Last night... By the way, why did you bring me to the hotel?" Raelynn queried soulfully.
Kenneth sneered and slowly leaned against the bed.
It was the first time that he had ravished her completely when he was sober. The feeling was worlds apart from the other night.
It made his soul tremble; it gave him unprecedented satisfaction.
"Raelynn, you don't remember, but I do."
Raelynn thought to herself, "Damn bastard!"
Why did he have to remember things so clearly?
"Raelynn, I will be accountable for it all."
Those words stunned Raelynn. She recalled him saying similar things the night before.
She suddenly looked up at him. Her big eyes were glistening adorably.
Kenneth appeared dead serious, without even so much as a hint that he was joking.
"Do you really mean that?" she asked mechanically.
Kenneth nodded slightly, a resolute look in his eyes. In a steady tone, he said, "Yes, I won't follow the same path as my father and my brother. My father was also framed in the hotel, and my mother was pregnant with us siblings for six years. My brother suffered the same fate and missed seven years of his child growing up." At that, Kenneth's mood dimmed. He gazed deeply at Raelynn.
After a while, he continued, "Me too. I was also set up that night. We didn't use protection twice. I was afraid that you would get pregnant. Love can be fostered. I don't hate you. These are my true feelings."
Kenneth thought for a moment and added, "Raelynn, will you give me a chance? I don't know what love is, but I will try my best to learn how to love you."
Raelynn was stunned. Did Kenneth just confess to her?
At the very least, that bastard was honest and had a good character. He wasn't like those men who would go back on their word after they had their fun.
Compared to those men, Kenneth was much better.
What should she do?
She was moved.
She also liked responsible men like Kenneth very much.
However, Raelynn was very worried. She asked seriously, "Kenneth, what if you try your best but still can't fall in love with me?"
