Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 755

In the past, Howard had always seen Elaine as a maid, but from then on, he started to have some peculiar feelings as he looked at her.

He started to size her up whenever he looked at her.

When he got home from work, he would sit in the living room watching TV and watching her being busy in the kitchen.

He even started to judge her body quietly.

As he leaned against the sofa listening to the voices coming from the TV, he would look at Elaine and thought, "She is not tall, but her body figure is awesome. Petite but curvy."

She had a narrow waist, nice.

And her perky buttocks, nice.

And those pair of short but slender legs, nice.

After sizing her up for a while, he found that she was like a rough diamond.

As long as the surface was polished and cut, it would turn out to be a precious gem.

Indeed, Howard was an experienced womanizer, and he managed to evaluate Elaine's physical figure within a night.

Ever since then, Howard started to get closer to her. He would reduce her house chores, take her out to dinner occasionally, and he even brought her to Simon's one-month celebration party.

He had one glass too many at the party, but it wasn't until he was unconscious.

He got close to her under the influence of the alcohol, which was also a way to tell her that he was interested in her.

He thought that any woman could tell how he felt, but this silly girl not only did not feel it, but she also treated him as a rogue and started to avoid him.

Since that day, she had even started to lock her door.

Did she think that he would sneak into her room in the middle of the night to assault her?

Yes, he admitted that he was indeed a playboy, but he would never stoop so low!

Every woman he dated was doing it willingly. He had never forced any woman!

Elaine and Sharon sat on chairs, talking to each other. Sharon asked her about her family's situation, and she answered her truthfully.

As she spoke, she felt that something was off.

Someone was staring at her.

The woman's intuition could be accurate at times. When she looked back, she saw someone was looking at her, and it was Howard.

However, there was no expression on his face. On the contrary, his face was a little gloomy as well as his glare.

His glare stunned her, and she started to think about what had happened last night. He had pressed her against the couch and had kissed her...

This was the first time she had ever seen him like this. He was imposing an intimidating and depressing aura around his body...

Now that she thought about it, she could still feel his scalding temperature when he pressed down on her...

"What are you thinking about, Elaine Jacob?!"

She patted her blushing face and tried to drive those cranky thoughts away.

"What are you doing?" Sharon was a little confused when she saw Elaine suddenly slap herself. "Is there a mosquito?"

Elaine mumbled, avoiding her gaze, "N-Nothing..."

"Oh my, why is your face so red?" Sharon has noticed her ruddy face.

It made Elaine even more embarrassed that she lowered her head and was on pins and needles. "I- I'm sleepy. I'll go back to my room now."

It was really late, so Sharon nodded and said, "Alright. Let me take you to your room."

"No thanks. Go ahead and play with the children. I know where my room is. Don't worry."

"Okay then. Good night."

"Good night."

She quickly nodded and ran away.

Chuckling, Sharon went to Ariah, and as she got closer, she realized that Howard looked rather gloomy. It made her wonder what Ariah had said to him.

"Where is Elaine?" Ariah asked.

"She said that she was sleepy, so I let her go back to her room. But her face was very red. I wonder if she is not feeling well. Never mind, I'll check her out later."

As soon as she finished speaking, Howard suddenly turned around and left. Sharon yelped, "Where do you think you're going? I have something to tell you."

Without even turning his head, Howard rebuked, "I'm going to take a leak. Are you coming?"

Hearing that, Sharon squinted in disgust.

After Howard was gone, Sharon asked, "What did you say to him? He looked quite awful. Did you warn him to stay away from Elaine?"

Ariah was also confused. "I've said everything I can in a tactful way, but he didn't say anything in return, just keep everything to himself with that gloomy expression. But I think that Howard doesn't know that Elaine has a fiance."

At this point, Sharon smiled. "I know."

"How did you know?"

"Elaine told me. It's an arranged marriage that her family set up for her. They're from the same hometown. She said that they would get married after New Year."

Looking in the direction where Howard had disappeared, Ariah pursed her lips into a smile. "I don't think that she's going to get married, after all."

Sharon nodded. "Yup, I think so too."

After returning to the room, Elaine sat on the sofa and was in a daze for a while, then she got up and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

As soon as she came out of the bathroom, the doorbell rang before she could wipe away the water drops on her face.

Her room was next to Sharon's. She thought that Sharon came to see her, so she quickly ran over and opened the door. "Sharon..."

However, she couldn't finish her sentence.

It was not Sharon.

The man outside the door glanced at her, and pushed the door open, and went in without saying a word.

After a moment of hesitation, she closed the door and followed him, muttering, "D-Dr. Perkins, why are you here?"

"What? I can't come?" Howard sat down on the couch and looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"Y- Yes, you can," said Elaine in a low voice, standing in the corner.

Seeing her like this, Howard started to get angry again. "Why are you standing so far away? Do you think I'll eat you up?”

She stole a peek at him before looking away quickly and insisted, "It's getting late. I want to sleep. Can you leave please?"

"No, I can't!"

Elaine blinked, astounded.

She never expected such a blunt rejection that she was stunned beyond words.

Howard snorted, "I'm thirsty. Pour me a glass of

water."

"You can do it yourself..." Elaine muttered under her breath.

Despite what she said, she subconsciously walked towards the kettle, poured him a glass of water, and put it on the table. Just as she was walking away, Howard pointed to the sofa across from him and demanded, "Sit down!"

Anxious, she obeyed.

In the meantime, Howard sized her up again. She had just taken a shower. She casually tied up her hair with a few strands of hair dangling beside her cheeks. As she breathed, the hair would swipe across her face.

She did not apply anything to her bare face, and she looked rather sparkly and clean with droplets of water sticking on her face.

How come he never realized how pretty she was?

No, he concluded that she had never dressed up before.

She had the worst fashion sense with her lousy clothes and shabby pants.

However, she had removed her worn-out clothes with only a pure white bathrobe on her. She looked rather petite and adorable as her body was wrapped under the huge bathrobe. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

A bathrobe was more beautiful than all the clothes she had ever worn.

Howard's eyes narrowed as he held the glass in his hand. He thought to himself whether to take her shopping for clothes...
