Chapter 239 No More Escape
For a second, Abel’s <b>brain </b>couldn’t keep up either he quickly turned around, along with the rest of the bodyguards, facing away from them.
Honestly, it wasn’t just Abel who was stunned. Ste’s mind was a mess too
She had thought that after what happenedst night, they would at least need some time to adjust, to figure things out.
But Abraham wasn’t giving anyone time to react–not even her.
She struggled instinctively, but her little hands were quickly pinned down by Abraham.
His maic voice was <b>low </b>and hoarse,ced with dangerous heat. “Still trying to run, hmm?”
1–it’s not that..” Ste stammered, unable to string a full sentence together.
By the time Abraham finally let her go, Ste was already breathing heavily, her cheeks flushed crimson.
Abraham leaned their foreheads together, his voice <b>low </b>and warm. “What are you doing here? Hmm<b>?</b><b>” </b>
had thought she’d sleep after eating. She always needed lots of rest and food <b>to </b>get over <b>a </b>cold faster.
Heb
That was why he’d asked Abel to bring Cooka over while Ste napped.
Ste, her face still buried against his chest, mumbled, “Marie’sing
Abraham <b>froze</b>.
“She called you?”
Ste nodded guiltily. “She said to pick her up at the airport in three hours.”
Earlier on the call. Marie had warned her over and over not to tell Abraham
Yet the second she hung up, Ste had turned right around and ratted her out without blinking.
A cold glint fiashed in Abraham’s eyes.
<b>“</b><b>Abel</b>,” he called, his voice chilly.
Abel, still standing stiffly with his back to them, quickly turned around at themand. “Sir.”
“Find out where that little <b>brat </b>is right now.”
For the <b>past </b><b>two </b>years, Marie had been tearing the world apart trying to find Ste.
Both Abraham and Abel knew if Marie got her hands on Ste, there would be hell to pay.
That girl was slippery- always thinking two steps ahead.
“Got it, Abel said.
“<b>Once </b>you find her, have someone send her <b>back</b>. Keep a close <b>watch</b><b>. </b>Whoever <b>was </b>in charge of guarding her this time can go report for punishment”
Abraham’s tone was colder than the snowstorm outside.
The fact that Marie had actually managed to sneak out infuriated <b>him</b>.
Abel nodded <b>again </b>and quickly left.
Feeling the gentle pressure on the back of her heal, Ste obediently stayed still.
He carried her through the ss corridor, where the world outside was buried under heavy snow, and finally back to their
“What do you <b>want </b>for dinner?” he askeil, his voice much gentler now.
“Anything’s fine,” Ste answered, still a little distracted.
Abraham thought for a moment. “With all this snow, maybe
“Hot pot! Ste cut in eagerly.
Every time the weather turned freezing, she <b>and </b>Tessa would sneak out for hot pot.
Abraham chuckled and tapped her forehead lightly. “You think you’re in any condition for that?”
Ste pouted. “Fine.”
<b>Right</b>, With the injuries she had now especially in that spot–spicy food was definitely a bad idea.
Abraham lowered his head, brushing his forehead lightly against hers. “Still a little warm.”
Ste tried to pull back, but her arms buckled, and she copsed straight onto the bed.
Abraham raised an eyebrow. “What’s this supposed to mean, Ste?”
Her face froze instantly.
*—it was an ident!”
God he’s gonna misunderstand!
Lying down right in front of him like this it looked way too much like an invitation.
But it’s really not!
Ste’s face burned scarlet.
<b>From </bst night until now, everything felt like a dream she hadn’t woken from yet.
She still hadn’t fully adjusted to the sudden, drastic shift in their rtionship.
She <b>instinctively </b>grabbed at the nket<b>, </b>trying to pull it up to hide.
<b>But </b>Abraham leaned <b>down </b>his kiss falling onto her lips.
Gentle at first.
Lingering.
So full of longing it made Ste’s heart tremble.
<i>He </i>had wanted her for so long. And now that he finally had her, he couldn’t get enough.
Right as the moment was about to spiralpletely out of control — Abraham pulled back, releasing her.
