Kapitel 30: Chapter 30: Cold
Lillie's ears refused to intake another sound. Her eyes were blank as she slowly walked away, not hearing Ethan's complete words.
"...Beat her and show how much capable of a man I am for her. Because if I can't even beat her then that means I'm incompetent, I'm not worthy."
[You like her that much?] His father spoke through the other side of the line.
"I don't like her....I already love her."
[Hahaha! That's my boy! You definitely are my son, so much like me! Alright, I'll help in every way to catch the girl of your dreams.]
"Thanks, Dad, you're the best."
[I know, that's why you're here.]
"Urgh...please stop making inappropriate jokes. I'll see you soon, bye."
[Bye, good luck!]
Turning off the phone, Ethan had a grin painted on his face.
He'll be a man who can stand by a woman of her caliber's side. He wanted to stand beside her with equal strength and power so that he will not embarrass her if that happy day will come.
"Lillie, wait for me."
Opening her eyes, Lillie shivered as she felt the water turned cold. She quickly stood up and wrapped the thick and warm bathrobe around her body while grabbing a small towel for her hair.
As she came out of the bathroom, she was frozen on her spot.
Ethan was standing at the center of her room, his eyes widen and darken's immediately as soon as he saw Lillie coming out of the bathroom with a wet bathrobe that sticked to her alluring body.
The way her wet hair made her look so seductive that Ethan's adam's apple came up and down.
With a cold expression, Lillie's brows furrowed and eyes narrowed. "What are you doing here?"
Ethan's throat went dry as he cannot come up with words to reply. "I-uh..."
"Hm?"
"D-uh...d-dinner..." A single, audible word was stated. Ethan had a hard time uttering something as he cannot remove his eyes away from her.
"I'll be down soon, get out."
Finally snapping out of his trance, Ethan noticed Lillie's flustered face.
'That can't be right. Lillie would never blush in embarrassment even if she'd walk naked.'
"What are you doing?" Lillie was expecting to see Ethan going out of her room. Instead, he boldly strode towards her with a serious expression.
Lillie unconsciously took a step back and covered her chest protectively.
"Mr Li, don't be foolish! Don't you dare take another step—ah!"
Ethan grabbed both of her wrist and pinned them against the wall. Ethan felt his blood boil at the alluring expression she's showing to him.
"Mr Li!" Lillie gritted her teeth. She was feeling uncomfortably hot. Her body was sweating despite the cold bath she had just moments ago.
Ethan ignored her, his face coming closer towards her.
Lillie's mind went blank. Is he...going to kiss her again?
Lillie subconsciously closed her eyes out of instinct. Instead of feeling a pair of soft lips assaulting hers, she felt something cool touched her forehead.
"You're hot." He muttered.
Lillie was confused. "Huh?"
Ethan coughed and reconstructed his sentence. "What I meant is that you have a fever." Gently letting go of her wrists, Ethan suddenly carried her, effortlessly, towards her bed.
"Did you stay too long on the bathtub?" He guessed while rampaging through her drawer for her pajamas.
Lillie felt like he was intruding her privacy but, she didn't had the mood to scold him. She was feeling hot.
"I fell asleep on the bathtub." She didn't knew what came into her mind to tell him that.
Ethan stopped, he looked at her in disbelief and anger. "No wonder you caught a cold!"
God! This woman is unbelievable! Does she not care for her health at all?!
Lillie frowned, now it appeared like it was her who did some injustice. Was it not him who barged into a lady's room?
Was it not him who suddenly harassed her while wearing nothing under this wet bathrobe?!
Why was she the bad guy?
"Here, quickly change into these." Finally found some thick pajamas, Ethan gave them to her.
"I'll wait outside while you change. Call me if you're done, alright?" Maybe because of the fever, Lillie was extremely obedient.
