Chapter 24 : But I Must Explain It to You
“Wendy!” Rex suddenly raised his voice and a gloomy and cold aura pervaded. Wendy was so scared that she abruptly lifted her blanket and lay down to look at him.
He smiled.
“What are you doing!” Wendy pushed Rex away in shame and anger. “It’s so late, I’m going to sleep!”
Rex’s long eyelashes fluttered. “The butler said that you haven’t eaten?”
“I……” Wendy was reluctant to admit it. She was hungry at first, but because Rex didn’t come back, she suppressed her hunger.
But later, when she heard the female voice on the other side of the phone, she suddenly lost her appetite.
“What’s wrong? Are you going to become an immortal without eating?” Rex said sarcastically and dragged Wendy out of the quilt.
“I’m not hungry! Can’t I lose weight?” Wendy struggled and stared at Rex with red eyes.
Rex grabbed her waving arm and pressed her down on the bed. His hot breath sprayed on her face, making her feel upset.
She was wearing a pair of pure cotton pajamas that were printed with Paul Frank, revealing her slender and white neck.
Rex’s eyes darkened. “Lose weight?”
As he spoke, his hands reached for her slender waist. “You’re so thin. You should eat more meat.”
After saying that, he lifted her by her waist and walked straight downstairs.
Wendy let out a cry of surprise and looked at Rex in disbelief. “Put me down! What are you doing?!”
“Shut up!” Rex roared in displeasure, his ice-cold aura pressing down. “If you keep making noise, I’ll throw you down!”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Wendy immediately stopped talking and curled up in Rex’s arms.
He was very tall and straight. She felt that she was very far away from the ground now. If she was really thrown down by him, her butt is gonna hurt.
Rex carried her downstairs. The living room was brightly lit, and only the sound of their breathing could be heard.
He put her on the chair. “Let’s eat!”
Wendy sniffed and only then did she realize that the dishes were still there. The butler did not pour them out. Instead, he had warmed them up.
Although…… she had no appetite, she could not let herself suffer, could she?
So Wendy began to eat and drink. Rex looked at her eating and touched his forehead helplessly.
“Had this girl been reincarnated from a hungry ghost?” He thought.
However, the food she made was delicious.
After dinner, the two of them didn’t talk much. In the end, Wendy couldn’t help but say, “Rex, I cooked this meal to thank you.”
“Hm.”
“Thank you for your medical expenses for my mother and what happened at noon today.”
“Hm.”
The awkward atmosphere continued to spread in the air. Wendy bit her lip and said, “Today……”
“Why did you ask the butler to throw the food away?”
Rex crossed his hands. He looked at Wendy with burning eyes.
Wendy blushed immediately. She avoided Rex’s gaze and said indifferently, “Well…… Ahem, haven’t you already eaten at someone else’s place?”
She stirred her fingers. “I assume you have eaten, right?”
“What could a man and a woman do together in the middle of the night anyway?” Thought Wendy.
Wendy sniffed and realized that she was feeling rather upset.
“So, you’re jealous,” Rex said with certainty.
“I didn’t!”
“Yes, you did.”
“No! I just…… I just think it’s a waste to throw away these delicious dishes!”
“Any will be an excuse.” A smile appeared on Rex’s face. He raised his hand and rubbed Wendy’s head. “Aren’t you going to ask me who answered your call tonight?”
Wendy gritted her teeth, stared at Rex for a moment, and said stubbornly, “I’m not curious at all!”
“But I want to tell you.”
A deep and mellow voice drilled into Wendy’s ears and stirred her heart.
