A Miracle Fault

Chapter 23 A Sudden Kiss

Stefan couldn't wait anymore when he noticed that Emmeline had actually locked herself in for three days. Since she had made such a choice to marry him as a substitute of her sister, she should know the consequence.

Emmeline suddenly heard someone knocking the door. She soon collected herself and went to open the door.

"Mrs. Stefan, Master Stefan asked you to go to the study." The servant was a bit stunned when seeing the listless face of Emmeline.

Emmeline nodded, "Okay, I will be right there."

She turned around and closed the door. Then she went into the bathroom to take a shower.

After getting dressed, she walked out of her bedroom and gently walked over to push the door of the study opened. Then she saw Stefan sitting on his wheelchair beside the French window. He fixed his eyes on the sea outside while holding a cigarette. He seemed to be pondering.

Emmeline slowly walked over.

She walked lightly, but he seemed to notice her.

He turned around and looked into her eyes. He could tell that she looked thinner. A trace of worry flashed across his eyes.

But he soon returned to be calm as usual again. Emmeline didn't even notice the change of his face. Then she saw him approach with his wheelchair.

His eyes looked mysterious as usual. But he also looked tired.

When seeing that, Emmeline seemed to notice something, 'Did he break in that night? Why did he do that to me?'

"Stefan, I felt a bit sick during these days. I am so sorry for not massaging you for the past few days…"

"It was raining last night. My legs started to be numb again. If you feel better, let's get started right now." Stefan suddenly interrupted before she finished.

He bypassed her and went out of the study, while Emmeline was following behind. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

She hurried forward to push his wheelchair.

"Stefan, besides you and Paul, is there anyone else on the island? Oh, I mean is there any other man here?" Emmeline still held a big grudge in her mind. She had to figure out who violated her that night.

"No." Stefan pressed the button of the elevator, emotionless as usual.

Of course, except for Stefan and Paul, all servants here were female.

"Time for breakfast. After that, you may start your work on me." He said coldly as if he were just giving an order.

Emmeline was rendered speechless.

The dining room was quiet. Stefan was having a piece of sandwich elegantly. However, as Emmeline still felt down, she only took little food, "I need to get prepared first. Just wait for me in the study." Then she went into the elevator, frowning.

When seeing that, Stefan felt a bang of pain in his heart. He put down the chopsticks and hurried to follow.

As Emmeline just got into her bedroom and took out a blanket and little wooden hammer for massage, the door was pushed opened again. She turned around, "I…I told you to wait in the study. Or you can go to the gym to wait for me."

Stefan rolled his wheelchair forward to approach to the bedside. Then he fixed his dark eyes on her, "You can rest for one more day if you haven't recovered."

'But it was you who made me start today…' Emmeline complained in her mind.

"I am fine. I can start now." She then pushed him out of the bedroom and headed for the study.

Emmeline was aware that though she was not his legitimate wife, it was she who chose to marry him.

If Stefan noticed that there was another man breaking in her bedroom and she was then violated, she was wondering if he would kill her out of rage. After all, she was his nominal wife.

Of course, she knew how bad-tempered he was.

Emmeline laid the blanket on the huge balcony and returned to get other massage accessories.

But Stefan suddenly beckoned her over, "Come over here. You don't need to massage me today."

Emmeline was a bit confused. He seemed to change his temper greatly today. He looked no longer cold and indifferent as before.

Since then, she put down the accessories in her hand and walked over to his side. Suddenly, Stefan grabbed her hand and dragged her down gently.

Emmeline then fell onto his legs while her nose happened to bump into his strong chest. She couldn't help getting stiff all over out of nervousness while her heart kept beating fast.

She could smell the light fragrance of his body. Actually, when she was massaging him before, he also did the same thing to make her sit on his legs for a few times.

Emmeline stayed unmoved. And he was hugging her still.

He lowered his head to look at her long eyelashes, which were still shivering. Then he suddenly kissed her.

Emmeline was stunned and immediately tilted her head to dodge. His thin lips happened to scratch her face.

"What are you doing…" She pushed him away when recalling what had happened last time.

"What? You are reluctant?" Seeing that he was staring at her, she blushed instantly.

Actually, Emmeline didn't intend to refuse. But she was afraid that he would humiliate her again just like what he did last time. She could barely control herself when facing his kiss. After all, she was still an innocent girl. What was worse, she didn't figure out who broke in her bedroom that night.

Before she found out the truth, she was even more repellent to him.

"Get off me! You will embarrass me if other noticed." She tried to break free from his grip and was about to stand up.

However, Stefan still grabbed her tight, "We have married. It's okay even if other noticed. From now on, we need to build up our relationship. Since you still feel bad today, just sit still!"

Emmeline was stunned with her eyes wide opened, 'What is he talking about? Build up our relationship? He should hate me, right? What if he notices that I am just a substitute of my sister? Will he still be nice to me?'

At the thought of that, she couldn't help feeling panic.

"Well…Stefan, I don't understand what you mean…" Before she could finish, Stefan reached out his big hand to raise her jaw. Then he kissed on her lips. Emmeline was distracted instantly.

She stared at his charming face with her eyes wide opened, which was so close to her. She looked confused, panic but also blushed.

"Close your eyes!" his deep voice sounded again as if he was giving an order.

Emmeline finally managed to breathe smoothly again. She kept gasping for air. However, only after she rested for a few seconds, Stefan kissed her again.

But his domineering kiss this time was much gentler. He was totally addicted to the sweet and light fragrant scent of her body.
