“You need to give me some time to adapt to this…” Adina lowered her gaze aggrievedly. “…So I can willingly sleep with you…”
Tears welled up at the corner of her eyes as she looked extremely aggrieved and pitiful.
This instantly melted Earl’s heart.
Even though he knew that Adina must be up to something, he could not help but compromise.
He pursed his lips and said, “Take your time, then.”
He slowly touched her hair and his fingers massaged her scalp gently.
He recalled what he had gone through during the period he was locked up.
He had been living in the shadows, but when he was locked up, without knowing if it was day or not, he realized something. It turned out that even living in the dark all the time was better than going through the motions like a living dead.
He continued to massage the back of Adina’s head and said gently, “Does it feel good?”
She closed her eyes and nodded. She started to loosen up and did not resist.
Earl took off his shoes. He leaned into her as he gradually lowered his guard.
At that moment, Adina slipped her hand into her pillowcase and took out a shiny dagger. She pressed it against Earl’s throat.
The ambiguous atmosphere instantly dissipated.
His expression quickly turned cold. He pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, revealing a smirk.
‘I keep trying to please her, but she keeps trying to kill me.’
He felt a tingling sensation on his neck. Blood dripped down immediately, staining the snow-white sheets red.
