The Ninth Bride (Samantha and Finley) novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6 I Am Your Wife, Not Someone Else
Samantha wrapped her arms around Finley's neck and leaned in to kiss his lips to divert his attention.

Finley was speechless.

<i>Batter!</i>

As expected, torrential rain arrived.

The pain in Finley's body gradually subsided, and he tasted blood in his mouth. Samantha pulled away from him. Her lips were bitten by him, but she seemed completely focused on him and didn't feel the pain. She moved out of his embrace and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Finley's deep gaze fell on the injured corner of Samantha's lips. For the first time, he realized how enchanting and beautiful a woman's lips could be when they turned red.

Upon seeing that he didn't answer, she looked at the sweat on his forehead and raised her hand to wipe it away. "You've sweated a lot. You must be uncomfortable. Let me help you take a shower."

Without waiting for Finley to refuse, Samantha pushed him toward the bathroom.

When Finley came back to his senses, he found himself already in the bathroom. He watched as Samantha was about to undress him, but suddenly, he thought of something and stopped her. "I can wash myself. You can go out."

Samantha opened her mouth to say something, but because of Finley's words, she swallowed her words. She arranged all the things he needed for his shower, prepared clean clothes for him, and then left the bathroom.

She stood outside the door and waited for him.

Inside the bathroom, Finley took off his shirt, revealing the scars all over his body from being burned in a fire. Although they had already scabbed over, the scars still looked fierce.

An obscure and unclear emotion appeared in Finley's eyes. He finished his shower quickly and came out of the bathroom. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Samantha leaning against the wall and waiting for him. He frowned. "Why are you standing here?"

Samantha replied gently, "I'm waiting for you. Are you done showering? Are you hungry? I cooked some noodles. Would you like to have some?"

Finley was speechless.
