Chapter 405 Was This How Christopher Kissed You?
Yuliana reached out and tugged at Wesley’s clothes.
Wesley gave her a side look and said, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Looking at Yuliana’s slightly pale face, he paused and shoved the breakfast in his hand into hers. “Head in first” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Yuliana stood still and shook her head lightly.
Wesley knew that she was worried about him. After thinking for a while, he did not persuade Yuliana anymore and instead wrapped his hand around her waist, letting her lean against him.
Then, he stared at Reynolds and Georgie forbiddingly.
“My last name is Duncan. I’m accompanying my girlfriend on a business trip in Lofbury this time.” Wesley paused a while before continuing. “Who are you guys? Oh, by the way, are you guys the same men from two midnights ago? Did we offend you all in any way that you need to keep terrorizing my girlfriend?” His tone became more and more intimidating toward the end.
Reynolds hurriedly explained, “Misunderstanding! Everything is a misunderstanding!”
It was not that he was afraid of the man in front of him. In Druobridge, Reynolds still had some capability. However, as he hadn’t figured out Wesley’s identity yet, he was worried he might mess with someone he shouldn’t. Besides, it seemed that they had indeed misunderstood the situation. In that case, it was better to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
Wesley sneered. “Misunderstanding? Is it also a misunderstanding that this person threatened my woman with a knife?”
Georgie was startled and quickly hid the knife in his hand.
“I apologize to you, miss. Mr. Duncan, miss, please let bygones be bygones and forgive me for my offensive conduct,” pled Reynolds.
After saying that, he kicked Georgie and ordered, “Apologize immediately.”
Georgie hurriedly lowered his head. I’m sorry.”
Wesley glanced at Georgie but did not care much about the apology. Rather, his gaze landed heavily on Reynolds. He raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, “Your last name is Lawson?”
Reynolds nodded. “Yes. Why? Do you know me, Mr. Duncan?”
Wesley’s gaze toward Reynolds turned much more courteous. “Before coming to Druobridge, I already heard that there was a Mr. Lawson here. Could it be so coincidental that you’re also a Lawson?”
Reynolds merely smiled, yet there was an increase of smugness in his eyes. “I’m just a small fry. How can I be comparable to that famous Mr. Lawson? However, Mr. Duncan, if you get into any trouble in Druobridge, you can come and look for me. I will certainly try my best to help.”
“TII thank you in advance, Mr. Lawson. Since what happened today is a misunderstanding, let’s just forget about it!” stated Wesley.
“TII remember your generosity, Mr. Duncan!” Reynolds patted his chest and added, “I’ll leave you two to your breakfast. We shall get going now!”
Wesley nodded slightly and watched Reynolds leave with Georgie.
Yuliana was so nervous that she had broken into a cold sweat, almost on the verge of collapsing. Wesley exerted a little strength on his arm to support her body. “Are you okay?”
Yuliana took a deep breath and nodded gently. “Fortunately, you came back in time. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do.” Looking at Wesley’s calm expression, she said self-deprecatingly, “Aren’t I incredibly useless?”
“Of course not “Wesley closed the door. “You handled it pretty well, be it the night before yesterday or just now if it were someone else, they probably wouldn’t be able to hold on till now.”
Yuliana s entire body was weak, and her palms were also sweaty.
Wesley supported her as they went in. He took a glance at Christopher, who was on the bed, and stopped,
moving for a moment.
Yuliana sensed his anomaly and followed his gaze, instantly remembering what had happened on that bed previously. Her fingers couldn’t help but curl up.
She looked at Wesley with pursed lips, wanting to explain.
But Wesley met her eyes, and with his sharp gaze that seemed capable of seeing through everything, she felt increasingly guilty. Apparently, no further explanation was necessary.
They looked at each other for two seconds before Yuliana averted her gaze.
Wesley did not say anything. He took her to the chair and helped her sit down.
Then, he walked to the bedside and continued to finish the matter that Yuliana had not managed to complete
prior.
The room was exceptionally quiet. A few minutes later, Wesley was done with the unfinished work.
He walked toward Yuliana, who was looking out of the window in a daze, squatted down, and held her hand. His gaze landed on her neck. The bite mark on her collarbone was particularly eye-catching, and he couldn’t help but raise his hand to touch it gently.
Yuliana subconsciously moved away in an overly aggressive way. Upon regaining her senses, she felt that her reaction was a little ridiculous, making her gaze toward Wesley even more guilt-ridden.
However, Wesley did not say anything and merely asked, “Does it hurt?”
Yuliana did not answer him and instead broke free of his grasp, standing up from the chair. “I just recalled. that I still have some things to do. I’ll go back to Room 416 first.”
With that, she practically fled from the room.
Wesley remained squatted in his spot as he watched her leave in a hurry. Only after a while did he notice the phone and keycard on the table.
Sighing softly, he picked up the phone and keycard and went after Yuliana, only to see her standing in front of the door of Room 416 dazedly.
He walked toward Yuliana while she turned and looked at him blankly.
“Do you not want your keycard?” He opened his hand and smiled gently.
Yuliana caught a glimpse of the keycard in his hand and became overwhelmed with guilt. “Are you not… mad at me?”
“Of course! Which man wouldn’t be mad to see his woman being kissed and nibbled by another man?” Wesley’s tone was a little cold, but his words then took a turn. “However, it was also me who gave another man the opportunity to do this. I shouldn’t have left.”
Hearing what Wesley said, Yuliana felt even worse, realizing she owed him even more now. “What should I do to live up to his feelings toward me?” she mused.
Seeing that she did not speak, Wesley swiped the card to unlock the door and took Yuliana into the room.
“Wait for me. I’ll bring breakfast over.”
Yuliana nodded.
Soon, Wesley brought breakfast over.
The food was much better than yesterday, consisting of several famous local snacks.
Sadly, Yuliana had no appetite. After taking two bites, she suddenly said, “I want to go back to Juxshire today.”
Wesley lifted his head and looked at her, falling silent momentarily. “Because of Christopher?”
Yuliana shook her head. “No.”
Staying here would only mean getting involved with Christopher even more and on a deeper level.
She did not want to let Wesley down or even hurt him.
However, it seemed like she would hurt Wesley no matter what choice she made.
Yuliana put down her cutlery and started, “Wesley, why don’t we just-”
Before she could finish her sentence, Wesley abruptly pounced on her and accurately sealed her lips with his lips, stopping her from uttering another word as though he was punishing her.
Yuliana felt the broken skin on her lips being torn again,
Wesley pressed against her lips as he asked, “Was this how Christopher kissed you?”
Yuliana panicked when her eyes met his dark gaze and lightly pushed him on the shoulders Wesley ”
Wesley caught hold of her slender wrists “Yuliana, don’t say anything more I don’t want to hear it, and I will not agree to it. Since you’ve agreed to be with me, I will not allow you to back away! I know you still have Christopher in your heart. I can give you time to forget him, and I can wait for you to be a willing party in this relationship But you’re not allowed to say anything more about backing away”
Yuliana held his gaze and nodded “Okay”
“Did I frighten you?” asked Wesley as he let go of her
Yuliana shook her head.
Even though she was indeed a little scared, she knew very well in her heart that Wesley would not actually
hurt her
