Laura threw him a bitter glare.
“Oh, you have the nerve to mention that?”
Max smiled. He reached out and tenderly caressed the wound on the corner of her mouth, then said, “Sorry. I was too excited last night. I’ll take you to see a doctor.”
Laura’s face turned redder when she heard she would go see a doctor.
Through clenched teeth, she yelled, “Shut up! I won’t go. You go if you want!”
To Max, Laura’s angry look was not threatening but sexy.
He felt that the desire he tried to repress was surging up again.
To prevent himself from doing anything out of line to Laura again, Max quickly changed the subject.
“We’ll go back this afternoon. Do you have any more places you wanna visit before we leave?”
Laura deliberated for moments. She had finally had a day off. She just hoped to stay in the room and sleep instead of going out.
What was more, after what Max did to her in bed last night, every part of her body was sore today. She didn’t have the strength to go out for sightseeing.
Therefore, she shook her head.
Max didn’t press her to go out then. After confirming their return time, they had lunch and went home.
The servants were all there when they got back to Orchid Villa.
Laura didn’t get enough sleep last night. Thus, she went to her room to sleep as soon as she was back.
Max had work to do in the afternoon, so he went off to the company.
Laura didn’t sleep tight in the afternoon. She woke up several times. But she lied in bed for a long time and didn’t fully wake up until seven o’clock in the evening.
Daytime was longer than nighttime in the summer. Thus, though it was seven in the evening, it was not completely dark outside.
After waking up, Laura squinted, got out of bed, and drew the drapes. Seeing the view outside at dusk, she stretched her body a little.
Her stomach growled. Then, she found she was starving.
She changed and then went downstairs. Just then, she saw Max coming back from outside.
She glanced at the clock on the wall and asked, “Why did you come back so late?”
Max went out soon after they returned at two in the afternoon. But why did he spend hours dealing with a little bit of work?
Max looked at her and said, “I could have been back by six. But I went to buy something on my way home.”
As he spoke, he changed into slippers and walked over. He then grabbed her and pushed her into the bedroom.
Laura knitted her brows with discontent. “What’re you doing? I’m hungry. I want dinner.”
Max said to her, “Just wait. Trust me. I’ll be quick.”
Thus, Laura was forced to go back into the bedroom.
She thought Max was planning to do it with her again. But he fished out an ointment from his pocket. On a closer look, she found that it was exactly the kind that could heal the wound on the corner of her mouth!
Her face instantly turned tomato red. She looked up at Max, who was wearing a smile. Then, Max explained patiently, “I went to a doctor in St. Peter's Hospital to get this. It’s said that it’s very effective. Your wound will heal after you apply this. It will no longer hurt when you have dinner in a moment.”
Laura balled her hands and snarled through gritted teeth, “Max Nixon!”
To not irk her, Max hurriedly said soothingly, “Sorry, I’m sorry. It’s all my bad. I lost control of myself for a moment. But there won’t be a next time. I promise.”
Laura couldn’t object. She thought of how she grimaced with pain at lunch today, so she let Max apply it to her wound.
The ointment had no strong smell. It felt pleasantly cool on her skin.
Then, she went to look into the mirror, but she noticed nothing on her mouth. It seemed that the ointment melted as soon as it was applied. That was good.
