45- I love him, father!

"Then marry me legally," she firmly ordered him.

An enthusiasm scattered through Steven's beaming eyes. "Do you love me?" He exclaimed, drawing a gratifying smile.

"No!"

Confusion demolished his joyful expression. His heart, which felt like blooming, withered right away. "Then why do you want marriage with me?" He questioned her.

She shook off her hand. "Then sleep alone!" She glared and walked off, leaving him on the edge of the conflict.

Just when she was about to climb onto her bed, Steven twirled her to his side by her arms, pushed her onto the bed, and leaned forward to her, pressing his hands against the bed next to her shoulder.

She gasped, crossing her hands over her chest. "What are you going to do?" She voiced apprehension as his intense glaze was a bit complicated to describe the difference between anger and lust.

"We are already a married couple. Why can't you sleep with me?" He growled.
