She was so embarrassed!
Burping in front of a super handsome man was humiliating.
Emmett pulled Elaine's small hand and said dryly,
"You'll be living with me. I'll take you jogging after dinner every day. You are too weak, and your diaphragm muscles aren't good."
Elaine blinked.
Diaphragm muscles?
She was just full, okay?
Wait. What had he just said?
Living with him?
What did it mean?
Could it be ... he wanted to marry her?
She grew shy.
She felt a sharp pain in her finger when her imagination ran wild.
"No!"
She screamed, and her arm trembled.
Emmett was pinching her ring finger hard.
It hurt!
"It hurts! Stop it...."
She frowned in pain.
She cursed him in her heart.
"It hurts so much! Let go of my hand! What are you doing? If you want to kill me, just say it! It hurts!"
...
She cried out with tears in her eyes, trying her best to free her hand but failing.
He finally let go of her finger. She immediately pulled back her hand and blew it.
"What were you doing? Don't you know how strong you are? It's a human finger, not a stone! Were you trying to cripple me? I hate you! I'm sick of you! I hate you!"
He just picked up his tablet and continued to work with a poker face.
She rambled on, but he did not argue back.
She snapped.
She kicked him on the waist. The pain numbed her foot. Damn it, what was Bad-bear Smith made of? Even his waist was so hard.
It hurt her ankle....
"Say something! Are you mute?"
"After bullying me, you give me the silent treatment! I don't like it!"
"Talk to me! Speak! You can't bully me for no reason!"
"My finger is going to break!"
She leaned over on him to snatch the tablet in his hand, throwing it on the sofa beside them.
She grabbed his ear and shook it repeatedly.
Emmett was annoyed and hugged her waist. He looked up at her and helplessly said,
"You're not hiccupping, are you?"
Well....
That shut her up.
She opened her starry eyes wide and cuddled up on his legs, frowning to feel it.
He was right. She stopped burping.
It was magical!
Hooray!
Her round eyes narrowing, she said, "You are right!"
He reached out to nip the tip of her nose and said,
"You distracted me, and I didn't even save the data I had just collected."
"I pressed the acupuncture point that can stop hiccupping for you. Although it hurt, it must feel better than burping."
...
She gaped at him.
"You were poking an acupuncture point?"
"Well, to be exact, I pressed it."
"You're amazing! I am surprised you know how to do that!"
"Of course. What can't I do? Tell me, am I even better at that thing?"
He smiled in a weird fashion and leaned closer, gently kissing her rosy lips.
She was dumbfounded and blushed.
"You're so bad!"
"What? I don't understand. What did I say to deserve that remark?"
He played dumb and chuckled mischievously. He stared at her flushed cheeks and teased,
"I see. You are thinking about that, aren't you?"
She gave up.
She played right into Bad-bear Smith's hands every time.
Kayden came back with the new shoes and hesitated at the door. Then he knocked and pushed it open to enter after Emmett said he could come in.
Even so, Kayden was scared when he saw what they were doing.
God, was something wrong with his eyes?
Master Smith, who treated women as low-level animals, had Elaine on his laps and was hugging her!
