Speed Candles novel Chapter 17

Avoiding his gaze, Emily paced and looked around the room. There were mainly cold colors, and there were not many things in his room. The most expensive things might be the paintings and calligraphy works on the wall, which made her feel the atmosphere oppressive.

The blanket on the floor was so clean that she could hardly find any dust on it. She thought to herself, “It really fits the man’s temperament.”

“Mr. Clark is so just and stern. Why don’t you have consideration for my feelings?”

“Your feelings?”

For a woman who ruined his reputation, why shouldn’t he be ferocious to her?

She looked at him with a smile, “Anyway, you know our relationship.”

Sebastian pursed his lips. His tense jaw clearly showed his anger, “Miss Morris, why should I spare your feelings?”

“It seems that your career is too smooth. Honorable men easily forget.” It was a common failing for men to turn their back on women after putting on trousers.

The lines of his side face showed that he curled up the corner of his mouth. He said in a low but forceful voice, “It’s not that I’m forgetful, but that you’re too cheap.”

Two years ago, she deliberately seduced him to have sex with her just to get revenge on her stepmother and half-sister. After being released from prison, not for a month, to take refuge, she traded with him. She was so shameless.

The word “cheap” was not enough to describe her.

Emily had been numb about the word “cheap”. During the two years in prison, she did not learn anything well. That was the only word she kept firmly in mind.

“I wonder what kind of woman you want to marry. How about me?”

“You slept with me for a few days, and now you want me to marry you?” Sebastian squinted at her. His anger made him look more ferocious, “Emily, should I say you are too naive, or delusional?”

Emily slowly walked over and held his slender hand, smiling ambiguously, “Is it so hard for you to marry me? Anyway, you have no lover now.”

Marry her?

“Then do you want me to do it myself?” He was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to bear it by then.

Emily raised her eyebrows, gritted her teeth, and sneered. She had always pretended to be strong, but now she felt desperate. She immediately kept her emotions, “If the whole Clark family knows I am pregnant, what do you think they’re going to do with it?”

There were always different kinds of women circling him, many of whom were much more beautiful than her. But Emily was the first one who dared to threaten him with the Clark family.

Emily suddenly felt a strong force on her neck, which made her short of breath. Sebastian’s eyes became scarlet. He gnashed his teeth in anger and wanted to strangle her to death.

“So you just won’t give up.”

She was forced to raise her head and look at him. She made a hoarse voice intermittently through her throat, “Sebastian…You can...now...strangle me.”

Since he came into contact with this woman, she had always behaved in a noisy and boisterous manner. It seemed that she was willing to risk everything. It was the first time for him to see her like this.
