Chapter 35 Pretend to Faint?
Chapter 35 Pretend to Faint?
Originally, Gwenyth wanted to leave directly since she hadn''t figured out how to exin to Urs
about the three million dors. Yet, being held back by Urs, she had no choice but to be frank
with her.
She turned to look at Urs, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Mom, what I said is true."
"What kind of job have you got? Did you quit the room service job?"
"Yes."
"Then, what''s your new job?"
"Being Edison''s girlfriend."
Urs was totally stunned by her words. It took her a long time to realize the meaning behind it.
"As long as I promise to be his girlfriend for three months, I can get three million dors from him."
"You..."
"Mom, don''t be angry, I''ve signed the agreement with him. I''m just pretending to be his girlfriend."
Urs''s eyes flickered in pain as she listened to her exnation. Being Gwenyth''s mother, she
knew best about her. Gwenyth had a crush on Edison a few years ago. And now, for the sake of
money, she decided to pretend to be his girlfriend...
"Mom, rest assured. I know the limits. Anyway, I don''t like him either. So, I won''t be having a
physical rtionship with him." Afraid that Urs would continue pestering her more about the
details of the agreement, Gwenyth pulled out her hand from her mother''s grasp, opened the door,
and left.
"Mom, you guys should go to bed now." She closed the door, turned on the shlight on her phone,
and ran downstairs in a hurry, worrying that Urs would chase her from behind, asking her for the
details.
Fortunately, Urs didn''t run after her all the way out of themunity, nor did she call her. She let
out a sigh of relief.
It takes more than ten minutes to walk to the nearest subway to the Moonlight Vi. After exiting the
subway, Gwenyth strolled towards the residential area.
Edison has been waiting for her. He sat on the sofa in the living room, staring at the wall clock on
the wall. She has been home for several hours, if she does note back by twelve o''clock, it will
be considered a breach of contract.
He didn''t call her since he just wanted to see if she was being aware of their contract. Now, the
pointer of the clock was pointing at nine o''clock. Three more hours left.
Out of a sudden, the doorbell rang. He took a deep breath, got up steadily, and walked to the
entrance. Through the Video inte system, he found out that the person standing outside the
door was Gwenyty, and the corners of his lips curved upwards slightly. Heh, I''d give her a pass this
time, he thought.
While suppressing the smile on his face, he opened the door for her and looked at her
expressionlessly."You took a long time going back home, didn''t you?"
"I was preparing dinner for my family, so I exceeded a little more time than expected."
"Why are you only caring about your family? What about me?" heined as he raised his
stered hand. "I''m still hungry."
Gwenyth was somewhat speechless by hisint. What''s wrong with this guy? Did he have to
wait for her to cook? How on earth couldn''t he order a takeaway while being hungry?
"Prepare my dinner, now," he said domineeringly, turned around, and left. Then, he hurried upstairs
without looking back.
Gwenyth changed her shoes, put her backpack on the sofa, and went into the kitchen. She actually
didn''t mind cooking, cause and it happens that she hasn''t eaten yet.
Luckily, she found several cups of instant noodles in the cupboard. For convenience, she directly
boiled a pot of hot water to prepare instant noodles. Ten minutes after Edison returned to his room,
someone knocked on his door. He opened the door, noticing Gwenyth was standing outside.
"Dinner''s ready," she said.
"What? That fast?"
"Yeah."
Curious about what Gwenyth had prepared, he followed her downstairs and into the dining area,
only to found out the two cups of instant noodles on the table. He has been hungry since five
o''clock, but she ended up cooking instant noodles for him?
"Do you think I can''t prepare instant noodles with one hand?"
Gwenyth shook her head and exined, "Aren''t you starving? Since I don''t want you to wait too
long, instant noodles are faster to prepare."
"..."
"Do you prefer other things to eat?"
He remained silent.
"If you don''t like it, I''ll make something else for you."
At first, Edison wanted to say that he didn''t like it. But, when he noticed Gwenyth was sweating
profusely until her cor was drenched by the sweat, he changed his mind. "It''s fine."
He pulled out his chair, sat down, picked up a fork, and began to dig in slowly. After finishing eating
the noodles, Edison waited for Gwenyth to wrap his stered hands with threeyers of stic
wrap.
N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
"Do you have to do this every day?" Gwenyth hummed.
"Can''t you help me to take a bath?"
Facing Edison''s unreasonable request, Gwenyth just looked at him indifferently. "Mr. Edison, I don''t
mind if you''re being shameless. Yet, I still want my conscience."
"If you refused to help me take a bath, I would say that you breached the contract."
Gwenyth was speechless by his remarks. Once again, he was trying to manipte her. Clenching
her teeth angrily, she forced a smile toward him, and said, "Of course, let me help you."
Edison slightly raised his eyebrows, hiding his joyful emotion inside, and pretended to be calm.
"Then, what are you still standing here for?"
"Huh?"
"Prepare the bath."
"..." Dang, the young master of a wealthy family was really temperamental and hard to serve.
Gwenyth put the stic wrap back into the cupboard, turned around, and walked upstairs.
She entered the master bedroom and walked to the bathroom, bending over to twist the faucet.
However, not knowing if it was a heatstroke, she felt a sudden headache followed by a cked-out.
Uncontrobly, her body fell into the bathtub, and at that moment, she knew she was going to break
her head.
As soon as Edison entered, he saw her almost falling toward the bathtub. He reacted without
hesitation by rushing forward, supporting her into his arm. Her entire body weight was on his one
arm.
He hugged her up, as her head tilted back, resting on one of his shoulders.
Seeing that her eyes were closed, he patted her cheek.
"Hey, wake up."
"Don''t pretend to faint."
Wasn''t he just letting her help him take a bath? Did she have to go this far by pretending to faint? If
he could wash himself, he wouldn''t care to let her help.
Laying on the ground while being dizzy for almost ten seconds, Gwenyth gradually regained her
consciousness. She opened her eyes and noticed Edison looking at her from above, a hand patting
on her cheek. She frowned and tried to p his hand away.
"No more pretending?" Seeing that she was awake, he grabbed her arm and pulled her up from the
floor.
As if she couldn''t support herself, her body crashed onto him suddenly. Edison, not expecting that to
happen, was knocked backward and slipped.
"Bang!"
He fell on his back to the ground, with Gwenyth on his body. Her entire body weight was crushed
onto him.
"You..." Were you doing this purposely?!
He seethed in pain and couldn''t say the words that he wanted to. After this fall, Gwenyth totally lost
consciousness. Thinking that Gwenyth was still pretending to faint, he pushed her away from him
with one hand. Thetter rolled to the side and didn''t move even the slightest.
Sitting up, Edison rubbed his bumped head as he looked toward Gwenyth. She was lying on her
side crookedly, full of sweat, and her face was drained out of color.
Has she really fainted?
He kicked her calf, noticing that she didn''t budge.
"Gwenyth?" He suddenly became a little anxious and reached out to pick her up from the ground.
"Hey, wake up."
Why did she suddenly faint?
He put her back on the ground and took out his cell phone to call for the ambnce. When the
ambnce arrived, Gwenyth has regained consciousness but was still somehow confused.
Noticing that the people, dressed in white coats carried her to a stretcher, she muttered, "What are
you guys doing?"
