Chapter 17

I was very fast, but Edmund stood in front of me, so my forehead bumped into his strong back without warning. It hurt so much that my eyes were shining.

"Although I don't hit women, I won't be polite to you if you continue to provoke me like this, Miss Leanna." The man who was hit turned around and looked at me with an unhappy expression.

I rubbed my head and mumbled, "I didn't mean it."

Edmund ignored me and walked around in an elegant way. "Is this your home?"

I walked to the side of the tea table, knelt on the ground, poured a glass of water and took a few gulps to calm down my frightened heart. After wiping my mouth, I raised my head and said, "yes."

As soon as I looked up, I found that his eyes fell on me, to be exact, on the empty glass in my hand.

Following his sight, I lowered my head and looked at my own cup. It seemed that I remembered something. Then I asked in a daze, "do you want to drink water?"

"Okay." He nodded unexpectedly.
