Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 738

”You came looking for me just to tell me that you’re unable to hold up your end of the deal?”

Just as Ruby was about to get up from his embrace, Blaine pulled her back into him before sitting her down on his lap. Ruby exclaimed, “What are you doing?”

Blaine stared at her with a neutral look as he lied with a serious tone, “If you stand up now, you’d activate the traps again. The safest spot for you right now is sitting on my lap.”

Ruby was speechless.

Fine then. She decided to reluctantly sit on his uncomfortably boney lap.

Blaine said, “What’s the matter? Now that you’re done using me, you’re going to toss me aside?”

Ruby replied with a confident tone, “The people who made the agreement with you were Thompson and Wilson. If you want to collect your debt, you can go look for them!”

Blaine replied, “But I’m a straight man.”

Ruby was speechless.

The corners of Ruby’s mouth twitched as she rolled her eyes before saying, “But I’m queer!”

Blaine replied calmly and confidently, “I don’t mind. Even if you’re queer, I can make you straight.”

Ruby was incredibly annoyed as she thought about just how absolutely terrifying this person was!

He was not even the slightest bit afraid of her being a lesbian! He was even more embracing toward it!

Judging from the looks of things, it seemed Blaine would not let her off the hook that easily so Ruby got up and said, “I won’t be bothering your work any longer than I should. Director Glaceau, I’ll head out now then?”

However, Blaine did not release her and was still holding her down on his lap. It seemed that underneath his determined look was a hint of gentle compassion as he stared at the side of her beautiful face. He asked, “Does it still hurt?”

Ruby did not catch what he meant in that instant so she asked, “What?”

“Have you applied the ointment I gave you last night yet?”

“... No.”

She was suddenly flustered as her voice grew softer.

It seemed any woman would be flustered when they were talking about something this embarrassing.

As Blaine stared at her gradually blushing face, he grinned while there was a subtle joyful glint at the bottom of his eyes as he said, “Are you waiting for me to apply the ointment for you?”

“No, I’ll do it myself tonight.”

Blaine sighed softly before lowering his head and inching closer to her shoulder. Somehow, he seemed to be teasing her and behaving seriously at the same time.

The main point was, she did not seem to be moved by him before this.

Ruby was blushing heavily from being teased by him as she gently pushed him away with her slender little hands as she asked, “Can I leave now, Director Glaceau?”

“Sure.”

Blaine was in an extremely happy mood because of her.

Just as she was about to turn around, Blaine grabbed her hand again as he said, “Call me Master Blaine from now on.”

“What if I refuse?”

“Well, you can try.”

His gaze seemed to be daring her to try.

Ruby felt shivers down her spine as she squinted her beautiful eyes and said while beaming, “Master Blaine.”

Blane replied, “Good girl.”

Although she sounded quite reluctant when she called him ‘Master Blaine’, that was enough to bring back some memories for Blaine.

That eighteen year old girl from a decade ago would follow him around and would willingly call him ‘Master Blaine’. She was much closer to him compared to now.

Although Blaine had ulterior motives for making her call him that, he was willing to accept that.

Ruby turned around and strode out the study after that.

Blaine chuckled as he stared at her back. He then went ahead to pick up the fired bolt from the hidden trap earlier. However, when he initially intended to disarm the traps, he realized how much fun he could have by keeping them armed.

It felt really good when she sat on his lap. It felt the same way as it did a decade ago.

…

Somehow, Ruby was having quite the blast playing with that dog, Hahah.

Hence, she took it out for a walk after dinner.
