Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 800

As soon as Paul finished speaking, Elaine slapped him and snapped, "Shut up!"

Putting his hand on his forehead, Paul grumbled, "Am I wrong? Mr. Bradbury has always been nice to you. Look, not only did he save you, but he also cared about you very much. Is there ever a man who treats you so nice?"

Upon hearing his remark, Elaine was dumbfounded.

Surprised as well, Ruben glanced at Paul and realized that he became smarter than he had been before.

He smiled and said, "Miss Jacob, I think your brother is right."

There was no expression on her face. "Can you stay out of this, please?"

Seeing her frown, Ruben raised his hand as a sign of backing down and insisted, "Fine, I'll keep quiet, but you can't leave either. If Vincent knows that I let you go, he'll kill me."

Without saying anything, Elaine dragged Paul and walked towards the door.

Pulling a long face, Paul followed her reluctantly.

When they came to the door, Elaine pushed it but it didn't open.

Astounded, she tried to push it again, but it wouldn't budge. Only then did she realize that the door was locked and could only be opened by keying in the password.

She turned to look at Ruben and asked, "Mr. Lawson, can you open the door, please?"

Sitting on the sofa leisurely, Ruben said in a cocky tone, "Nope. If you want to go out, you have to find your own way."

Elaine squinted in annoyance.

On the other hand, Paul grinned delightfully because it meant that they could stay here for a little longer.

He ran directly to the sofa, sat down next to Ruben, and started watching TV with him as if they went way back.

However, Ruben shifted a little further away from him in disdain.

Elaine stared at them indignantly, but they ignored her. After taking a few deep breaths, she snapped, "Let me out! I want to see him!"

Donning an intrigued expression Ruben asked, "Who do you want to see?"

"Who else?"

"I don't know who you want to see."

"Vincent Bradbury. Now, open the door."

"Alright, I'll let you see him, but you have to go by yourself. Your brother stays here."

Leaning on the sofa watching TV while drinking beer, Paul said casually, "Alright, I'll stay here. Hurry and go see Vincent. I don't mind if you stay there a little longer."

Ignoring him, Elaine bellowed, "Open the door."

With that, Ruben opened the door for her.

Watching her disappear into the path, Ruben sighed. "Vincent, I've created a chance for you. If you don't use it properly, it's your problem."

Morgan was instructing the maids to clean up the house when he heard the doorbell ringing. Turning his head to the door, he immediately went to the door and opened it.

"Miss Jacob." He looked pleasantly surprised. "Why are you here? Have you eaten? How's the food?"

She could not be indifferent to Morgan's concern and kindness, so she pursed her lips and said, "It's delicious. Thank you, Morgan."

When Morgan saw the hesitation in her expression, he quickly asked, "Are you here to see

Mr. Bradbury?"

She nodded. "Where is he?"

"He's still asleep. Do you want to wait here, or go upstairs to see him?"

The reason she came here was to see him, so she immediately said, "I'll go see him. Which bedroom is he in?"

"The master bedroom."

Nodding with an affirmative hum, she went upstairs.

Meanwhile, the maid said worriedly, "Morgan, Mr. Bradbury doesn't like to be disturbed when he's sleeping. She will be scolded if she goes to him now."

Waving his hand confidently, Morgan uttered, "Nah. She is different."

The maid was still concerned. "Why don't I go up and have a look? If anything happens, I'll inform you immediately."

After thinking for a while, Morgan nodded. "Okay. Be careful. Try not to make any sound and do not let Mr. Bradbury find out that you're there."

"Okay."

At the master bedroom's door on the second floor.

As Elaine pushed the door open and entered, she found that the room was pitch black and there was no sound at all.

After hesitating for a while, she mustered up the courage to walk to the bed and wake him up.

Extending her arms forward to feel her way, she touched the bedside lamp and wanted to switch it on when a hoarse and cold male voice resonated, "Who is it?"

Just when she was about to speak, she was pushed away by a great force, causing her to yelp in shock. Almost instantly, she felt a tight grip of her waist as he pulled her back.

She fell on him, staring at him with panicked gaze.

The lights in the bedroom were turned on immediately.

Vincent pinched her chin and raised her head. "Why are you here?"

Elaine was still in a daze as she was shocked by what happened just now.

If he couldn't recognize her voice just now, would she be dead already?

"Why didn't you knock before coming in?" Vincent frowned. "Luckily, I don't have a gun with me, or you would have been dead now."

Blood drained from her face when the image of the dead bald man flashed across her mind.

As he slowly rubbed his cold fingers on her delicate skin, he smiled when he looked at her pale face. "You're fine, aren't you? Don't be afraid."

All of a sudden, she came back to her senses and tried to struggle her way out of his embrace. "Let me go!"

"But you came to me."

"You..."

Taking a deep breath, she leaned on him stiffly and huffed, "I need to talk to you, so please let me go."

"You can talk right now."

How could she? He was clutching her waist tightly and they were so close to each other that she could feel his breathing on her skin! How could she talk like this?

Sensing that she was getting agitated, Vincent let go of her.

With that, she immediately jumped off the bed.

Slowly sitting up and leaning against the headboard, Vincent looked up at her and said, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Paul and I are leaving but we need someone to send us out by car. Mr. Lawson said that he could borrow your car but you were sleeping, so I'm here to ask if I can take the car keys from you." "No, you can't."

Elaine squinted in annoyance.

She didn't expect to hear such a direct refusal.

Staring at him, she rebuked, "But you promised me yesterday!"

"What did I promise you?"

"You... are you breaking your promise?" Elaine would be a fool if she couldn't see through him now.

Vincent stared at her like a wild beast. "I stayed up all night and figured something up." Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

His abrupt remark baffled her.

"I can get everything I want easily, including you. I must admit that you are indeed special to me, so I have never forced you to give in. Maybe my attitude makes you think I am easygoing, so you always do as you wish."

Every word that he spat made her face sank a little.

Finally, he came to the main point, "I can't let you have your way anymore. From now on, you must stay with me and not go anywhere."

He spoke in a gentle tone but there was no room for negotiation.
