Chapter 747: Chapter 747: A Kiss Falls on Her Lips
His hands never stopped moving as he scrubbed the makeup off her face vigorously.
He washed it once and it wasn’t enough, so he washed it twice more.
It was only after he had completely cleaned her face that he let go.
But… Lilac Serval was left in a terrible state by him. Her face was covered in water droplets, and half of her hair was wet.
She lifted her eternally-red eyes, full of loathing, to look at him as the water droplets flowed down her face.
She swung her hand directly at Charles McIntosh’s face, delivering a slap!
Charles McIntosh didn’t dodge it.
With a “crack,” he received a solid slap on the face.
Given his agility, he could have easily avoided the slap, but he chose not to.
The slap Lilac Serval delivered was nothing gentle either, leaving a bright red handprint on Charles McIntosh’s face.
“Are you crazy? You take pleasure in torturing women? Charles McIntosh, have some dignity, I have nothing to do with you. Calling you ‘senior brother’ is out of old times’ sake, don’t provoke me. I told you, we’re in Landon, getting in trouble will disgrace Mr. Cheney,” she yelled.
They both worked for Sylvan Cheney, she thought, so he should understand the implications.
Yet, Charles McIntosh remained unfazed. He grabbed her wrist, his usual gentlemanly demeanor disappearing and his eyes turning red.
He took a tissue paper to wipe the water droplets off her face.
After a long while, he still felt as though she had a thick layer of makeup on, which he found unsatisfactory.
His cold eyes landed directly on her face.
Lilac Serval felt both amused and angry.
“Charles McIntosh, have you never had a girlfriend? Don’t you know that makeup should be removed? And that you should use makeup remover?” she said coldly, her gaze on him.
After his rough handling, her makeup was smeared all over her face.
Her false eyelashes, eyeshadow, and blush were all mixed up.
She dared not think what she looked like now!
Charles McIntosh: “…”
“So annoying. I must be jinxed to run into you,” Lilac Serval retorted, shaking off his hand with a cold laugh.
Her coat fell to the ground. She wiped her face with one hand and, hugging her arms, prepared to leave.
She really didn’t want to run into this man.
It would have been better to run into anyone else. She could either beat them up or yell at them.
It had to be Charles McIntosh.
If she couldn’t beat him, fine. But why did even her cursing have no effect on him?
Shouldn’t a man insulted to this extent either be furious or have already snapped her arms off?
But him, he just knitted his brows a bit and took her slap.
“Little Lilac, you always said you wanted to see the Picking Stars Tower,” Charles McIntosh unfazedly spoke up behind her.
Lilac Serval halted, but she didn’t turn around.
The dim light shone on her face, making her cheeks look pale.
After a long moment, she said, “You mean when we were kids? Oh, it took me a long time to recall. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten. But really, nothing is that interesting about this tower. You should take me shopping instead, buy me a dress. I might enjoy that more.”
Having said that, Lilac Serval walked away, her high heels clicking on the floor.
She was looking quite disheveled now.
Half of her hair was wet after Charles McIntosh had carelessly washed her head in the sink.
She was wearing a strap dress, her arms exposed to the cold weather.
Lilac Serval hugged herself and walked away without looking back.
Just as she was stepping outside the tower, a gust of cold wind blew her way, making her sneeze.
She was soaked from head to toe because of this man.
But just as she was about to walk down the steps, suddenly, a strong force pulled at her arm—
She stumbled and fell back into a strong and warm embrace!
Charles McIntosh pulled her back into the tower and pushed her roughly against the bronze-colored wall.
His long fingers gripped her chin as he leaned down, planting a kiss on her lips!
