Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 407

It was in the hospital.

Wilson got changed and was preparing to clock out. As he exited his office, he saw Serene, who was carrying her backpack, squatting down on the ground with hands cupping her face as she waited for him.

“Let’s go.”

The man reached out his hand to hold hers. Serene stood up and stared at him timidly.

Wilson frowned as he saw her standing still. “What’s wrong?”

“I… Do I really have to stay over at your place tonight?”

She was pondering over the question when she was waiting for Wilson earlier and she thought that it might not be appropriate for her to stay over. Although they were already a couple, she felt that they had not reached that stage yet.

Moreover, she did not want Wilson to think that she was that kind of woman who would simply spend the night with him.

Wilson lowered his head and looked at her. His gaze was gentle yet provocative.

“Tomorrow’s Saturday and I don’t want to be alone. Moreover, I will have to pick you up from your house if you’re going back tonight.”

“I… I can take the subway to your house tomorrow.”

Wilson immediately grabbed the strap of her bag and dragged her forcefully toward the exit. “It’s not convenient.”

Serene stumbled as she followed him from behind. Instead of dragging her strap, Wilson simply pulled her into his embrace. Just like that, they hugged their way to the exit.

Serene’s face was flushed red. Her eyes darted around quickly and said, “Hey… we’re still in the hospital! Our friends might see us! I know how to walk by myself! Let me go…”

The man did not seem to care at all. Instead, he had a disdainful look on his face, “What does it matter if someone sees us? Am I a disgrace to you?”

Serene was speechless.

Her lips twitched and said, “I am a disgrace to you. Are you happy now?”

Wilson was in a good mood. His lips curled upward slightly yet he did not let go of her.

He pressed down on her head and forced her into the passenger seat. Serene hugged her bag tightly.

Wilson entered the car. Looking at her guilty expression, Wilson could not help but laugh.

He leaned over and was about to help her fasten her seatbelt but Serene immediately blocked him away defensively!

“What are you trying to do?”

“Well… what do you want me to do to you?”

Wilson raised his eyebrows. His dark eyes were looking at her in amusement, almost as if he was teasing her.

“How… how am I supposed to know what you’re trying to do? Watch your actions, we’re still in the hospital!”

As he stretched out his arm calmly to help her fasten her seatbelt, he was whispering into her ear, “I want to…”

Her cheeks and ears turned crimson red. “Ermm…”

Her hands were pushing Wilson’s face away as she moved backwards. “It’s not really appropriate to do this!”

A teasing look flashed across his eyes. Then, Serene heard the sound of a click as her seatbelt was buckled. She was stunned for a few seconds before lifting her head.

Her dewy eyes met Wilson’s deep gaze.

The man flicked her forehead with his slender fingers and said, “What were you thinking? Give me your bag.”

“Oh…”

Wilson took her bag and tossed it to the back seat.

Serene reminded him, “Be gentle! My laptop is inside my bag!”

“I’ll buy you a new one if it’s broken.”

Serene snorted, “You think you’re so great just because you have money?”

“Having money alone is not something to be proud of.”

Having a lot of money was something one should be proud of yet Wilson held himself back from saying that. He did not want to scare her away too soon.

Serene said, “I still have my thesis in that laptop. My lecturer told me this morning that I have some amendments to make. You reminded me that I still have to work on my thesis tonight. It’s really so annoying.”

Dejected, she leaned against the car window. She mumbled unenthusiastically,

“Amending my thesis is really the most painful thing to do in the world. I still have to check the percentage of plagiarism…”

Wilson did not answer her question. Instead, he reached out his hand and rubbed her head. Then, he asked her while he continued driving, “What do you want to have for dinner tonight?”

Serene tilted her head toward the window and sighed intentionally, “I’m not in the mood to eat.”

She wanted to act pathetic, hoping that it would work. Her lecturer did not approve her thesis no matter how much she amended it. If only Wilson could help her work on it… hmmm…
