She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 523

Rowan dodged to the side, but the splattering, spicy sauce grazed his shoulder, leaving a glaring red stain on his shirt.

His previously relaxed expression instantly frosted over. He glanced down at the shattered plate on the floor, then raised his gaze to Lyra, his eyes darkening into a somber, predatory storm. "Going against me again, are we?"

"You're doing this just to torture me! Locking me up in this godforsaken mountain with no service! What the hell do you want?!" Lyra yelled.

"What do I want?" Rowan looked down at her tear-reddened eyes, his tone absolute ice. "I just want you to behave and get pregnant. Once your mother and my parents can't object anymore, I'll have gotten exactly what I want."

Tears brimming in her eyes, Lyra repeated helplessly, "I want to go home. I want to go home. Take me to Blackwood Manor."

Even Blackwood Manor was better than this isolated mountain prison.

"You never seemed to like staying at Blackwood Manor before," Rowan said, stepping closer with a chilling edge to his voice.

His tall, imposing frame overshadowed her slender figure, and she instinctively shrank back. Rowan snatched her delicate wrist in an iron grip, yanked her flush against his chest, and swept her up into his arms.

The heavy scent of cooking smoke filled his nose, making him frown. "Go shower. Once you're pregnant, you can live at Blackwood Manor every single day."

Lyra's arms were entirely shot; she didn't have a drop of strength left to fight him. She could only clench her empty fists, stubbornly refusing to show any weakness.

Standing nearby, The Matron was too terrified to breathe. She quietly backed into a corner and began cleaning up the broken dishes, the counter, and the floor.

She was starting to think this woman wasn't a mistress at all.

Mistresses took the money and purred like docile kittens.

The two of them spent a long time in the shower, until the shoddy hot water heater finally ran cold. When Lyra used the hairdryer, she took a subtle sniff of her hair.

Rowan didn't hold back for long. He pulled her into bed.

The wooden bed creaked so loudly it echoed through the entire night.
