Chapter 9 Want to Touch

"I told you before not to wear glasses." Theo told her after kissing her as if he was reasoning his actions when surely it's different from what he speaks.

Noe was so gentle when she applied for medicine on him.

Theo was moved by her gentleness,

Thus, he couldn't help but want to touch her.

After all, she was his wife, why couldn't he touch her?

To Noe, however, he was Theo's cousin, 'Evan'.

Repeatedly, he flirted with her and kissed her, which was far beyond her tolerance.

Noe pushed him away fiercely and took a few steps backwards. She told him off, "Evan, I am your cousin's wife! Can you please show me some respect?"

She seemed to not hate him that much after what had happened, never did she expect him to act so wantonly.

Theo stroked his lips as if he was enjoying the aftertaste. With a seductive tone in his voice, he said, "You'll be lonely for the rest of your life if you stay with Theo, why don't you consider me?

"No!" Noe rejected him right away.

Looking slow-witted and dressing ugly, she did not look charming at all.

Theo found her look fascinating.

Noe felt she could no longer sit by and do nothing. It would only make him even more unscrupulous.

"Call someone to take you home, If not, I'll call the ambulance, and others will know that you're injured." Noe was angrily told by his actions.

Her voice was so soft that even if she was saying threatening words, it was not intimidating at all.

Theo took a glance at her, as if he didn't hear her, he shut his eyes to rest.

Noe was speechless.

Looking at his pale face, she couldn't bring herself to wake him up and chase him away.

While 'Evan' was resting, Noe went to the supermarket.

Although she was nominally a part of the William family, she was not treated as one.

Most of the time, no one would care about her even if she was sick or hungry.

All the while, she had been enduring all her sufferings alone.

As a result, she could live an independent life.

No matter how much she hated 'Evan', she could not risk him dying at her place and ignore him.

She had been working hard all her life. The last thing she wanted was to be involved in someone's death or to die because of him.

Therefore, she reluctantly boiled some soup for him.

As the night fell, Noe woke 'Evan' up.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to drink some soup?" She was standing two steps away from him, afraid that he would cross the line again.

Theo looked up at her and uttered, "Yes."

Noe brought the soup over and placed it on the small table in front of his bed. After that, she immediately retreated.

However, her unit was too small.

In addition to the partitioned kitchen and bathroom, there was a small bed, a small folding table, a sofa which could only fit one person, and an old bookshelf.

These few simple things had already occupied almost the whole room.

No matter where she escaped to, she couldn't get out of Theo's sight.

Theo threw a glance at her and sat up slowly, without any expression on his face, he then lifted the quilt, revealing the gauze on his chest which was soaked with blood. " Wound has split open," he said casually.

He was saying as if it was not something that could endanger his life.

A part of Noe did not want to care about him, but at the same time, she couldn't bear to ignore him.

Reluctantly, she walked toward him slowly.

Then, she picked up the bowl and started feeding him the soup.

Not saying anything else, Theo lowered his gaze and drank the soup.

It was silent in the tiny room, only the faint sound of the spoon coming in contact with the edge of the bowl could be heard.

At this moment, there seemed to be inexplicable chemistry between them.
