"Nonsense." Raina North glanced sideways: "I’m not your person, you’re mine."
Elias Hawthorne played with Raina North’s hand in his palm, a smile in his eyes and brows: "That’s right, I’m yours, so they are yours too."
Raina hummed: "I really can’t see it, your survival instincts are so strong." Suddenly, as if remembering something, Raina’s temper flared up, and she unpleasantly poked Elias Hawthorne’s chest with her pink fingertips: "Hey, what was with you just now? Couldn’t you be more tactful? We weren’t prepared, what if they are looking for an excuse to stir up trouble, making things difficult for you?"
"They don’t have the guts yet." Elias Hawthorne’s tone was calm, but full of confidence.
Raina was displeased, glaring at Elias Hawthorne: "Even if you have enough assurance, you can’t be , what if? Haven’t you heard the word ’what if’? If something really happened to you, what would I do?"
Elias Hawthorne didn’t speak, just watched her with a confident smile.
"Oh, so confident, so proud." Raina instantly got angry, poking his chest with her finger: "Did you forget when I was captured by The Crimson Blade Hall’s people, back then I..."
Raina suddenly choked up, back then she was captured by The Crimson Blade Hall on purpose, and the old geezer Morgan Payne drugged her was the real accident.
But this, definitely couldn’t be said.
She forcefully changed the subject: "Of course, I was kidnapped right under your nose, right?"
Elias Hawthorne nodded: "That time was my mistake, I didn’t expect there was a traitor."
As he spoke, he leaned towards Raina North, his dark eyes staring unblinking at her, her reflection in his eyes, silently explaining who the traitor was.
"See, just like I said isn’t it?" Raina’s gaze was a bit wandering, quickly muttering a few words: "Oh dear, busy all night, I’m so tired, let’s hurry back to the room and rest."
Raina was in a hurry, not paying attention to her feet, tripped heavily on the steps and fell to the ground: "Ah!"
Raina screamed, but quickly fell into Elias Hawthorne’s arms.
Luckily, Elias Hawthorne was right behind her.
Raina patted her chest with lingering fear. The rıghtful source is 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽
Really scared to death, and right on the stairs.
The next second, Raina only felt her body being lifted into the air.
Instinctively, Raina hugged Elias Hawthorne’s neck tightly, feeling embarrassed as the night servants watched her, she squirmed: "You, put me down, everyone’s watching."
"Don’t move." Elias Hawthorne held Raina more tightly, speaking in a deep voice: "What if you accidentally fall yourself?"
She suddenly had a feeling that this ’what if’ couldn’t be avoided.
Sure enough, after reaching the bedroom, when Raina wanted to shower, Elias Hawthorne picked her up again and carried her into the bathroom.
Seeing Elias Hawthorne looking like he wanted to help her shower, Raina quickly refused: "I’ll do it myself."
Raina raised her hand to cover his thin lips, gritting her teeth: "Damn it, if you dare say ’what if’ again, I’ll bite you to death..."
Before she finished speaking, Raina felt her palm become wet, the imposing words rapidly deflating towards the end.
Raina looked at her wet palm, glared at Elias Hawthorne: "What are you doing?"
Elias Hawthorne leaned in closer to her, his low, hoarse voice accompanied by warm breath in her ear: "You."
Raina was about to glare at him when a shadow fell over her head, Elias Hawthorne suddenly embraced her tightly, kissing her lips.
