My Fiancée Hates Me novel Chapter 78

It was nearing evening when we returned to the hospital. Garett had waited in front of the hospital and held out his arms. There seemed to be a silent agreement between Vance and Garett when he placed me into Garett's arms. I ended up being carried all the way to my room.

Vance returned to his own estate right after handing me to Garett.

Garett brought me to my room in silence and only handed me my nightgown after setting me down on the bed. I removed my clothes and changed into my nightgown.

He sighed.

"Even if I am your lover, I thought women would be a little more embarrassed about stripping in front of a man," he finally said.

"I am used to changing in front of many servants...I thought that since you handed me my nightgown, you wanted me to change right away," I said.

"You could have waited for me to leave the room..."

"You are my lover, so I thought that it did not matter," I said.

Lover is a pretty nice excuse...You can get away with most things by saying that.

He pressed me lightly to the bed and had me lie down as he covered me with a blanket.

"Rest for now...Your nonsensical banter will have to wait for later," Garett said.

"...Are you going to leave?" I asked.

"Do you want me to?" Garett asked.

"The room is a bit lonely after you leave. If you could stay a bit longer..."

After I said that, Garett climbed into bed with me and laid on his side.

"I won't leave until you sleep," he said as he held my hand.

"Thank you..."

I love this person. No matter how many people I throw away in my conquest for Prince Erik's happiness, the one I cannot live without is this person...

"Why do you keep staring at me?" Garett asked with a smile.

His emerald green eyes widened for a moment before beginning to quiver.

"...I honestly do not think that those three words are enough to express all of my feelings for you. As difficult it is for me to find the right words to tell you, I would like you to know that you are not second best to anyone. I hold you in a very special place in my heart and want to be together with you forever," I said.

"...I love you too, Arielle," Garett said.

I rested in bed for a few more days before I was able to go around and about. I owe the status of my fast recovery to Garett who gave me nearly around all around the clock care night and day. He would be by my side before I would sleep and there with me when I would awaken. Sometimes I wonder if he just does not sleep since he would always be awake before me.

We would often share the bed together before I would sleep or when we would have short naps together, but I have never seen him sleep during my stay here.

I never decided to pry about anything since he must have been worried when I received the stab wound to my person.

Sharing a bed together suddenly became a habit even during nap times. The nurses became more accommodating by gifting Garett with a few pairs of pajamas since he practically slept here most of the time as well.

Vance appeared on the day of my release with a bouquet of white lilies and pink roses arrangement in his hands.

No matter how irritated he was, he would never leave the recovering me alone and lent me his arm to hold onto when we went on our way back to my dorm room.

He helped me sit down on my bed and sat beside me. When there is daylight, no one was particularly guarding the halls. Having my lover in my room was not an issue to be so urgent about.

"...I have thought this before, but you are a bit close with that man," Garett said with much displeasure in his tone.

I found his slightly pouty face to be extremely endearing.

"He is my Knight, so he has to be a bit close to me," I said as if it was a matter of fact.

Garett looked a bit dejected as he had to accept it. He removed his glasses and began massaging his temples.

"That is true..."

"My lover holds a special place though," I whispered in his ear.

I was suddenly pulled by my arm and brought over his lap. His arms wrapped around my shoulders and waist.

I was completely encased in his arms...

I felt my face become more flushed as Garett's face moved closer to mine. His body heat felt as if it were a bit smoldering to me. As if responding to his intense body heat, my body began heating up just as much.

"...How special am I to you?" he asked with just a few centimeters away from my lips.

Without waiting for an answer, he took my lips and breath away.
