His lips curled slightly, but Emily Walker could not discern a smile on his face, rather…he appeared despicable!
What on earth was this damn man going to say in front of her little brother? About their relationship? Or something else?
Thinking about what had happened between them, Emily started to feel uneasy. He wouldn’t deliberately say something shameful here, would he? Emily bit her lower lip, clueless about what this man wanted, “What on earth do you want?”
“What do I want?” saying this, the smirk on Baron Stuart’s face vanished and was replaced by seething rage. He growled, “Who gave you the permission to leave?”
She was his. Only he could grant her permission to leave.
Seeing his sudden anger, Emily was taken aback.
Who let her go? Wasn’t it his loving mother and sweet fiancee?
Emily would, of course, not reveal such hard to address issues to him. After all, in others’ eyes, she was the home-wrecking mistress forced out by his mother and fiancee. This would be an embarrassment for any woman.
Since she had decided to leave, she might as well keep some dignity for herself.
“Why can’t I leave?” Emily lifted her face, her stubborn gaze fixed on him, retorting, “I didn’t sell myself to you. Why do I need your permission? What exactly are you to me?”
Her sudden counter-question made Baron Stuart hesitate. He couldn’t come up with an answer to her points.
What was she to him? His woman?
However, being as domineering as he was, he didn’t feel the need to answer things he didn’t want to.
“I said no, so it’s no!” His tone was intimidating, his words forced out between his teeth.
This woman, her temper was just as stubborn after not seeing her for a few days!
Hearing this, Emily found it laughable. She sarcastically replied, “I’m sorry, but your ‘no’ has no legal effect.”
Wrapping up the conversation, Emily no longer wished to argue with the man in front of her. She turned around, intending to head towards the front door.
Seeing her turn to leave, Baron Stuart exploded!
His sudden rage froze Emily in her tracks. This man’s anger was truly terrifying.
Possibly due to the anger, Baron Stuart’s back bulged due to the force exerted, and a sharp pain shot from his wound.
He frowned slightly, didn’t pay too much attention, instead, he lifted his furious gaze, staring at the woman in front of him.
Emily paused in her steps, then turned around. Today, perhaps she should clarify everything she wanted to say. After this, she wouldn’t want any more involvement with this man!
As she turned around, she noticed his slightly furrowed brows and beads of sweat on his forehead. She was slightly taken aback but didn’t think much and attributed it to his rage.
Looking at him, she replied firm, “I’m grateful to you for providing the surgery fees to save my brother! I’m also grateful to you…” Emily became thoughtful at this point, this was the first time, apart from her father, that another man had held her close.
Thinking back to the time of the accident a few days ago, this man had shielded her beneath him at that crucial moment. But why? She still didn’t understand.
“Thank you for protecting me that day! However, I’ve also given you a blood transfusion in return, so we are now even!” He had saved her life, and she had repaid him with her blood, weren’t they equal now?
