Chapter 219
Once we got back home, I managed to coax Steven to go to bed first.
It seemed that after experiencing being well taken care of, Steven wanted to experience it again. He kept pretending to feel ill and said that he had a fever, sore hands, and sore feet. He even
asked that I bathe him.
I hoped he could just be honest. Bathing Steven was really troublesome, especially since he took
advantage of the situation.
Steven had stripped himself naked earlier and ended up soaking me as well,
“Steven Lincoln!” I gritted my teeth after yelling. I was soaked from head to toe.
“Stephie, your clothes are all wet. Come on, let’s just bathe together,” Steven said, looking innocent. He was seriously trying to unbutton my shirt.
I slapped his hand away and took a deep breath.
I tried to console myself. I kept telling myself that there was no way around this. Steven was my husband, after all. I repeated this mantra in my head. It was my fault for spoiling him so
“Stephie…”
My phone rang at that moment. To avoid getting it wet, I placed it in a small crook on the inside of
the bathtub.
Steven reached out to help me grab the phone. But when he saw that it was Michael calling, hist face darkened and his grip loosened as well.
I watched helplessly as my phone fell into the bathtub. It seemed to struggle to stay on for a few seconds before shutting off completely.
I took a deep breath and felt anger rise within me.
Previously, Michael’s number in my phone had been blocked. I was certain that Steven had been
the one who did it.
“Stephie… I got water on my wound. It hurts so much. You’re not going to get mad at me for not holding your phone firmly enough, are you?” Steven said, looking at me with a pitiful expression on
his face.
His gaze was not as dark as before he dumped my phone into the water.
At this moment, he looked more like a naughty child seeking forgiveness for his mistakes.
The raging fire inside of me was instantly put out by his expression. I had to admit that I was weak.
“Steven Lincoln, this is the third phone you’ve ruined. Don’t touch my phone next time,” I said through clenched teeth and suppressed anger.
Steven’s eyes turned red–rimmed. “Is your phone that much more interesting than I am?”
I didn’t know what led him to that conclusion.
I reached out to fish out my phone from the bathtub. However, he grabbed my wrist and suddenly
pulled me in. I fell on top of him as a result.
The anger within me erupted in that instant. But the raging flame was swiftly extinguished by
Stever’s body and looks.
He had flawless skin and well–defined muscles. There were water droplets all over his perfect body, which made him resemble a merman that had just surfaced from the depths of the sea, untouched by worldly matters.
“Oh, dear. Guess we’ll have to take a bath together now,” Steven said innocently. His lips curled
into a smirk as he held me in his arms.
I wanted to push him away out of anger, but the water made everything too slippery. In an instant,
the atmosphere in the bathroom changed.
Unable to bear the tension any longer, I could only bite down on Steven’s collarbone.
put
Steven’s body stiffened for a moment. He did not move to push me away, nor did he try to up
a fight.
“You like biting people when you’re mad, huh?” he said softly. Suddenly, he flipped over to pin me
down in the bathtub.
My head was instantly submerged in water. I held my breath instinctively as Steven pressed me deeper into the water and kissed me.
I suddenly realized that this guy was definitely not as clueless as he appeared. Someone had definitely taught him these moves.
Steven
is seemed innocent and clueless, yet he would always manage to make others blush.

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie)
A very good thriller in the beginning ruined by unnecessary twist and unrealistic plots. Exaggerating the story just for the sake of it. Totally disappointed...
