章 77: Don't Touch Me

Mu Kai waited for me to finish as he put his arms under my legs, picked me up and carried me to the car.

That was all I needed to feel safe again.

He carried me up to the penthouse and to the bedroom. He started to help me undress as I stopped him.

"I'm fine and you need to get out of those wet clothes. Please go change. I'm going to take a hot bath."

"Do you feel well enough to take a bath by yourself?"

I shot him a look.

"If I said no does that mean you'll get in with me?

He looked down.

I saw the look on his face, and it was one of pain, almost the same look as the day in the hotel room.

"I was kidding, now you get out of here and go change."

He walked out and left me standing there feeling like an idiot. I didn't make it to the bathtub. I put on my nightshirt and robe and collapsed on top of the bed.
