The huge bedroom suddenly became strangely quiet. I turned around awkwardly and looked at Kieran, "Well, I, I'll sleep on the sofa..."
Before I could finish my sentence, Kieran's gaze came over, which instantly strangled my words.
Kieran looked towards the door. I immediately understood his meaning and placed a chair against the door. Although that chair could not prevent people from barging in, at least it would close the door.
"Sleep on the bed!" Kieran said in a low and cold voice.
"Yes!" I nodded, not daring to show any objection.
"Take a bath!" Just as I was about to take off my clothes, Kieran said this word by word and stared at me coldly, "Keep washing until you are clean!"
"Yes, yes!" I followed his instruction and hurried to the bathroom.
"Don't touch my things!" Just as I was about to close the bathroom door, Kieran suddenly appeared before me, which startled me.
"I know!" After that, Kieran closed the door and left. I looked at the huge bathroom and was in a dilemma. There was a full set of toiletries. But I was not allowed to touch any of them. How ... could I take a bath then?
However, I knew I must obey Kieran's instructions, for I knew the consequences of going against his wishes.
Since Kieran didn't allow me to touch his things, I couldn't use his toiletries.
I took off my clothes. The hot water dissipated my all-day-long tiredness. But when I finished taking a bath, I found a serious problem. I didn't have any pajamas at all!
There was nothing I could do. I shook my head and put on the clothes I just took off.
"I am done!" I walked out of the bathroom and saw Kieran standing in front of the window.
Kieran turned around. When he saw me, he frowned. He walked closer and stared at my clothes with disgust, "Are you going to wear such dirty clothes to sleep on my bed?"
"I don't have any other clothes!" I lowered my head and whispered.
Silence. A terrible silence enveloped me and the entire bedroom. My head was even lower, for I dared not to look at Kieran. Kieran was a famous cleanliness freak. He couldn't stand people approaching him. And now I was trying to sleep on his bed in sweaty clothes. He would kill me if I succeeded!
But I didn't have any clothes. I can only wear this. And even if I were willing to sleep on his bed naked, Kieran wouldn't like to see me like that!
Cruel reality.
What a bitter life!
"Put on this!" Suddenly, Kieran threw me a T-shirt.
"Kieran, this is your clothes!"
"Go wash up again and don't let me see your dirty clothes again!" After that, he was silent again. He didn't want to say anything more to me.
"Yes!" I nodded and went back to the bathroom to take a bath.
After I finished bathing, holding Kieran's T-shirt, I sniffed it. Just like him, his clothes also gave me a kind of aloof feeling. When I put Kieran's clothes on my body, I somewhat felt guilty, as if I had violated his deity.
I heard a creak.
The bathroom door was opened. I immediately closed my eyes and retracted my head into the quilt. Kieran wanted to share his bed with me in order not to make Madame Charles suspicious. However, this feeling was terrifying for me!
Kieran walked over, bringing out a faint and cold fragrance. My heart was gradually tightening as he walked closer. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps stopped. The other side of the bed sunk slightly. My breathing almost stopped, and my body involuntarily stiffened.
The quilt was lifted and then silence dominated the whole place.
Pretend to be asleep! Pretend to be asleep! I tried to hypnotize myself, but I was so nervous and scared that I felt like I could die at any moment!
Suddenly, I heard some sounds.
Someone was knocking on the door. Then, the door was pushed open slightly. Madame Charles said unhappily, "It's getting late. Where is the lively noise I want? Don't make me so worried! Hurry up and do your business!"
Kieran suddenly pulled me out of the quilt. His intention was clear: he wanted me to deal with Madame Charles. I had no choice but to force a smile and nod awkwardly.
Madame Charles’ gaze fell on Kieran. "Kieran, the effect of the pill you took this morning faded? I'll get you more."
"No need, the effects are very strong now!" Kieran interrupted her.
"That's good. Then I'll leave you love birds alone. Remember, noises won't disturb me!" Madame Charles smiled sinisterly as she closed the door and left.
I couldn't help but heave a long sigh of relief. But when I met Kieran's eyes, I felt nervous again.
