“You prepared this pyjamas and the night dresses in the closet, aren’t you shameless enough?”
Deacon glanced at the closet door and said,
“I didn’t prepare the clothes in there. Grandma did.”
Grandma?
Oriana was dumfounded.
Deacon looked at Phoebe,
“Is she still good?”
Oriana tried her best to pull back her little tail.
Phoebe is very good.”
“Then why are you not good?”
“What does he mean, am I also a kitten?” Oriana thought inwardly.
Now that her tail was still in his hands, his frivolous and slow attitude was a little bullying, as if she was a kitten to him.
A knock was heard on the door. Chef Maria said from outside,
“Young master, Old Mrs. Samantha asked me to bring you a glass of smoothie. Drink it while it’s chill.”
Oriana pushed Deacon away, afraid that others would see such a scene.
Deacon let go of her tail.
Deacon walked over and opened the door. He glanced at the drink in her hands. His grandma really liked to make him smoothie.
Deacon drank the smoothie at the door side, and placed the glass into Maria’s hand and headed back in.
Deacon went to the bathroom and had a cold shower. Then he sat on the sofa and went through his laptop.
He felt the heat emanating from his body. And his body temperature rose little by little.
The heat kept surging. making him uncomfortable.
Deacon looked up. Oriana was sitting on the bed with a medical book in her hand. She was beautiful and demure.
He forcedly placed the laptop on the bed as his eyes were blurry.
Deacon stood and walked to the bedside.
“Mr. Armstead, what are you doing? I’m reading.” Oriana protested.
Deacon sat on the edge of the bed and held her soft little hand, placing it on his forehead.
“Am I sick?”
Oriana was startled when she felt his body temperature. She quickly felt his pulse and asked,
“What did you eat?”
Deacon had already guessed it, but he was at his own house. He was a little unsure.
When Oriana asked him those words, he swiftly stood up and opened the door.
“Ouch!” Madam Samantha almost fell to the ground.
“Grandma, what did you give me?“Deacon’s expression was not so good. He was obviously angry.
Realizing that she has been caught. Mrs Samantha felt a little embarrassed. She pointed at Mr. Henry,
“It wasn’t me who did it. it was him. There was a little tonic in your soup.”
Uncle Henry was so frightened that his legs wobbled and he stared at Mrs Samantha in shock.
Mrs. Samantha quickly chipped in.
Henry, you really are bold, but since he’s a first time offender, just forgive him.”
“And moreover Deacon, there’s no need to throw a tantrum. There’s nothing wrong there.
Atleast I should hug my grandchild as soon as possible.”
Deacon pursed his lips.
“Grandma!”
Deacon, do you know that I can’t raise my head in front of other ladies. They’re always showing off how cute their great–grandchildren are. They’re always bullying me. I don’t have any great–grandchildren!”
Deacon immediately closed the door.
Deacon turned around and approached the bed. Oriana already knew what was going on.
She pulled the quilt to hide and looked at him alertly.
“What do you want to do? Don’t come over!”
Deacon got in the bed and pressed her down.
“Grandma’s outside, cooperate a little.”
This was a very important part of their agreement. She needed to cooperate with him.
Deacon looked at Oriana’s shut eyes, his eyes darkened and he muttered,
“You can’t scream?”
Deacon lowered his body and kissed her face. Oriana’s eyeslash were trembling like a butterfly’s wings. She shouted coordinately.
Mrs Samantha left the door contentedly.
Oriana quickly reached out to push him,
“Grandma is gone, get up quickly.”
Deacon didn’t move a muscle. He buried his handsome face in her hair. Oriana didn’t dare to move, for fear of imitating him.
She could tell that Mrs Samantha really needed a great–grandchild. Oriana cherished everyone who loved her. The better Mrs Samantha treated her, the more guilty she felt.
She was afraid that one day the old lady would he heartbroken when she realizes that they really were only deceiving her.
Deacon propped up his hands and gazed at her.
“We can also… Fake it.”
Oriana’s eyes narrowed and she pushed him away in a panic.
Deacon laid on the bed, closed his eyes and said,
“I’ll take a shower, you should get some sleep.”
Deacon entered the bathroom, soon the sound of running waters were heard.Oriana hugged the blanket and closed her eyes, but she didn’t feel sleepy..
Oriana didn’t know when she had fallen asleep, but when she woke, she glanced at the room and noticed that Deacon wasn’t there.
“Where had he gone?
Oriana was worried about Deacon’s body, she quickly lifted the blanket and stood up. She looked around the huge room, but couldn’t find him.
Did he go out?
“Deacon!!”
The door or the bathroom was suddenly opened, and a large hand reached out, pulling her by her slender arm.
Oriana looked at the human in front of her, it was Deacon.
Deacon had taken a shower. He was wearing a black shirt and black trousers. His short black hair was dripping with water.
“Looking for me?“Deacon’s voice was hoarse.
Oriana raised her hand and touched his forehead, which was now hotter than before.
The tonic really was strong.
Deacon grabbed her wrist and buried his face in her neck.
“Olly, I’m very uncomfortable.”
Oriana’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t expect such a strong and domineering man to act like a baby.
“Olly, I’ve taken a shower several times, but it still doesn’t work. I was here by myself, why did you come find me?”
With his hoarse voice whispering in her ear, Oriana felt her heart soften like a puddle of water.
“I… I didn’t mean to disturb you. I’ll go out now.”
Deacon interrupted her,
“You always do this. You leave people behind. Now that you’re here, you think you can still leave?”
He raised his hand, his fingertips resting on her pyjamas and started to unbutton her.
Oriana’s eyes narrowed and she instantly held his big hand. She remembered the phone call she placed to him while on his business trip. It was a woman who had answered it.
His lover.
Then what was she in his eyes?
Was she one of the numerous lovers?
Oriana felt a cold water splash down, and she quickly regained her consciousness.
“Mr. Armstead, if you really feel uncomfortable, go find another woman.”
Deacon’s body froze.
He slowly raised his head. Those narrow eyes that were soaked in scarlet colour stared fiercely at her.
“What did you say?”
Oriana felt that his appearance was terrifying at the moment, but she didn’t flinch.
“Mr. Armstead, if you badly need a woman, then you can go out and find a woman.”
His heart was quickly filled with rage. His eyes suddenly became hazy. She actually told him to go out and find another woman!
Deacon clenched his fists, in split seconds, he threw a punch. Oriana had shut her eyes instinctively.
Deacon’s fist smashed into the glass mirror in front of him.
Oriana opened her eyes, she saw his fist which had been torn apart by the shards of glass and several lines of blood had flowed out.
It was shocking.
