Chapter 856
Zach’s lips curved into a subtle smirk.
Madelyn looked around at the photos she had just set up, feeling quite pleased. “Weren’t you headingto the office?” she asked.
“Why can’t I spend some time at home with you?” Zach asked, reaching out and gently tucked a strandof her hair behind her ear. “Does it still hurt?”
Despite trying to remain calm, Madelyn was taken aback by Zach’s forward comments. Her cheeksturned a shade of pink, and she gently pushed his hand away. “Thanks for asking,” she said with a hintof coolness. “I’m doing much better now.”
Zach raised an eyebrow at her response, “Still not used to me, huh?”
Zach’s outburst took Madelyn by surprise. Keeping her cool, she said, “If you care about me, a ‘thankyou’ is appropriate, right? Don’t dump your outside frustrations on me.”
When she tried to step back, Zach’s hold on her wrist stopped her, pressing her against the wall. Hiseyes showed clear irritation, “When will you start thinking? You know a simple ‘thanks’ isn’t what I’mafter.”
Madelyn shot back, “Isn’t my body the one you wanted? Haven’t you already had that? What more doyou want from me?” She felt uneasy under his intense gaze
Zach smirked, “There’s more to it, and you know it.” Inside, he mused, ‘She’s good at playing dumb. Iwonder how long she can keep it up.’
Madelyn hesitated, knowing arguing would not help, “Okay, I get it. If you don’t like something, I won’tmention it.” Wanting to shift the focus, she said, “Unless there’s something else, I’m off to see Dal.”
“Hold on.” Pleased with her response, Zach gently picked up Madelyn, causing her eyes to widen.Grasping his shirt collar, she said, “It’s still daytime. Maybe later?”
Zach teased, “Later for what?”novelbin
Lost in thought and grumbling inwardly about Zach’s unpredictability, Madelyn realized she might havemisunderstood his intentions. Zach reached into the cupboard to retrieve a well-used ointment as shesat in his lap. He squeezed a little ointment onto his hand and raised the hem of her sleepwear. She feltashamed and closed her legs tightly.
‘So this was his intention,’ Madelyn realized. “I’m okay; it doesn’t hurt,” she said, even as Zach held herfirmly.
“Don’t worry,” Zach replied soothingly.
The mere thought of their previous intimate moments aroused Zach, and Madelyn could sense that.But she did not dare to move. In the next second, he was already kissing her and made furtheradvances. His breathing grew uneven. After a brief moment, he gave her several gentle kisses andpaused, looking at her intensely.
“You sure you’re okay? You can be so stubborn sometimes,” he said.
“It’s a little sore.”
“I think some gentle rubbing might help. It should feel better soon.”
“Zach, can you let go for a moment?” Madelyn asked, a hint of embarrassment in her voice.
“Just be patient with me.”
The two spent about an hour in the room. After that, Zach carefully fixed Madelyn’s hair, making sure itlooked neat.
