Chapter 59 Why Were You Peeking at Me
Adriel?
Seeing this name, Raymond subconsciously glanced at Bethany, who was engrossed in her book and hadn't noticed him looking at her.
As for what Bethany had mentioned about her deceased husband, he only knew that his name was Adriel. He didn't know the exact spell or his surname.
Adriel Tucker? It must be a coincidence, Raymond suddenly found himself amused. When he saw that name earlier, he felt a tightening in his heart, how absurd!
Raymond had thoroughly reviewed the profiles of these six companies and was pleasantly surprised to discover that Ocean International Company was indeed quite competitive. Adriel, as the director of Ocean Construction, had shown sincerity by personally participating.
Putting down the documents, Raymond checked the time and realized it was already eleven o'clock at night. He stood up and walked to the bedside, took the book Bethany was reading away.
"It's late, you should rest," Raymond said.
Bethany had been immersed in her reading and hadn't paid attention to the time. It was indeed very late.
Without waiting for Bethany's response, Raymond carefully helped her lie down and tucked her in with the blanket.
This was the VIP ward with a dedicated accompanying hospital bed. Raymond would sleep there, separated by a curtain. Every night, the curtain would be drawn, and they would sleep separately. Tonight was no exception.
Normally, Bethany would fall asleep early, but tonight she wasn't feeling sleepy. She turned her head and looked at the curtain. The light was still on, and she could clearly see his movements as he undressed through the shadow. After taking off his shirt, his well-built chest was clearly reflected on the curtain.
Bethany kept staring, and as she continued watching, she recalled a scene from the past. It was that night when Adriel did the same, standing by the bed and taking off his shirt.
It was in a hotel room. She had decided to give him her first time, and it was the craziest decision she had ever made.
"Lisa, are you really sure about this?" Adriel asked anxiously.
"I'm sure. Once we've crossed that bridge, my father won't object anymore. At worst, he'll give us a beating. Come on!"
After saying that, she tightly held onto the bedsheet and closed her eyes. After all, it was her first time, and she was especially nervous. It was at that moment that her phone suddenly rang-it was her father calling.
"Melisa, are you at Prosperity Hotel? Are you with Adriel?!"
"No, I'm alone!"
"If I find out that guy is with you, believe me, I'll immediately fire him and you'll never see him again!"
"I'm really alone. I'm coming home right now."
Therefore, the plan for that night failed. From that night onwards, her father watched her closely and held a strong disapproval towards Adriel.
In order to gain her father's approval, Adriel worked tirelessly. Within a short span of four years, he became the vice director and became her father's trusted assistant.
He had worked so hard to gain her father's acceptance as his son-in-law, but...
"Shh!"
Just then, the curtain was suddenly pulled back, and Bethany snapped back to reality, looking at Raymond. At this moment, he was only wearing a pair of boxer shorts, and before she could react, Raymond questioned her with a stern tone echoing above her head, "Why were you peeking at me?"
What? Peeking?
"I didn't..." Bethany's words were cut off as Raymond swiftly moved towards her, his hand propping up beside her pillow. He pressed his body against hers, looking at her from such a close distance that it frightened her to the point where she couldn't even breathe.
"Why were you peeking at me?"
What was he saying!
Raymond, he must have hypochondria. She was not peeking at him!
