Chapter 24 The First Night of Their Marriage

As they entered the room, Evelyn quickly broke free from Theodore as he was locking the door. She jumped two meters away from him and smiled at him, saying, "There are no outsiders here, we don't have to act anymore."

Theodore looked at her with a sweeping glance of dissatisfaction. As he undressed himself, he said softly, "Go and take a bath."

"Oh, suit yourself." Evelyn rubbed her hungry tummy and remembered that there were some snacks in her bag. She quickly went to the bedside to get her bag.

"I told you to go and take a shower."

"Me?" She raised her head and saw him staring at her. She instantly had a bad feeling in her gut and quickly searched for an excuse. "I'm a night owl. I'm not used to bathing so early. You take your bath first."

"Either you go and bath yourself, or I'll carry you in and we can bath together."

Evelyn asked weakly, "Can't you bath first?"

Seeing that Theodore was already half-lying on the bed and ignoring her question, she knew there wasn't a third option for her. She reluctantly took her pajamas and went into the bathroom.

After locking the door, she placed her pajamas on the rack and stood in front of the bathtub, transfixed.

Although she had never experienced that thing between men and women before, she knew what it meant to shower yourself while being alone with a man in a room at night.

Theodore was obviously frightened by Ethan's words. In order to let his grandpa believe that they were a real couple, he would surely do something out of the line to her.

This wasn't a joke!

Although the Kingsley family was rich and powerful, and he was also talented and handsome, he simply wasn't her cup of tea.

If the one waiting for her on the bed was Martin...

Smack!

She slapped the back of her head and secretly scolded herself for being shameless.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

She jumped in surprise and quickly looked around. When she saw Theodore standing right in front of her in the bathroom, she was stunned. She had already locked the door, so how did he come in?

Huh? That's not right, he's obviously standing outside!

When she looked closely, she discovered that the wall of the bathroom was a completely transparent glass wall!

'The wall' had only a thin curtain hanging over it—insufficient to hide whatever was going on in the bathroom.

Oh my God! She didn't notice this wall just now! Fortunately, she hadn't removed her clothes to bathe yet!

How dare he ask her to bathe in such a bathroom!

He was really unbelievable!

She threw the towel into the bathtub and opened the door angrily. However, before she could start bombarding him with questions, Theodore had already walked to the door and started talking. He said, "Grandpa already has his suspicions and has sent someone to listen to the sound of the running water on the pipes. If you don't cooperate with me and take your bath, you shall bear your own consequences."

She pointed at the glass wall and asked furiously, "How can you ask me to cooperate with this?"

"How is this related to bathing?"

"How can it not have anything to do... Oh! Well, all they want is to hear the sound of running water. Since they can't see what I'm, all I have to do is..."

"I don't like to sleep on the same bed with a woman who reeks of sweat."

She initially thought that he was hinting that letting the water run was sufficient. So, she didn't expect him to say that. She spread out her hands and said, "That's your business. You can sleep on the sofa or the floor.

"Do you want to breach the contract?"

She then remembered that there was a clause in the agreement stating that 'We must sleep on the same bed at night'. She argued, "I didn't say not to sleep on the same bed. It's you who is unwilling to sleep with me. You can't blame me for this. Hey! What are you doing? Let me go!"

Theodore loosened his grip impatiently and said, "Choose one out of two options. Either you bathe, or I bathe you. If you don't bathe, consider it a breach of agreement."

"Why is it a breach of agreement to not bathe?"

"I have the final say in this agreement. Don't be headstrong if you can't bear the consequences." He looked at her and saw that she still had an angry face. He knew what she was worried about and smirked. "You're as flat as an airport runway. What is there to worry about?"

"You..."

"You can either switch off the lights or let the bathroom be filled with water vapor so that the people on the outside cannot see anything." After he finished speaking, Theodore walked out of the bathroom.

Oh! This didn't seem like a bad idea.

Seeing that Theodore was already laying on the bed, Evelyn turned all the hot faucets in the bathroom to their highest temperature. Even when the toilet was misty, she was still worried and went out of the bathroom to take another look. Noting seen from the outside, she was finally assured and went to take her bath.

Although the water was adjusted to the right temperature, the temperature in the bathroom was too high. She felt like suffocating after bathing for only a few minutes. Afraid of being out of breath, she bathed quickly, put on her nightgown, and rushed out of the bathroom gasping.

As she came out, Theodore got up, whistled at her, and then walked into the bathroom.

"I hope you suffocate to death!" Evelyn gritted her teeth and cursed him secretly in her mind.

Thinking that he might come out and do dirty things to her, she ran to the bedside and felt for the scalpel hidden under a pillow. Only then did she sigh with relief.

"Stinky fox, if you dare cross the line, don't blame me for dissecting you like a corpse!" Evelyn thought.

Lying on the soft bed, she found that the position of the bed was parallel to the bathroom. By lying on the bed, one could see everything going on in the bathroom. She felt disgusted by the thought of the numerous times Fox Kingsley lay on this bed enjoying the view of naked women.

Oh God! Hold on!

How could she see Fox Kingsley in the bathroom?

Looking closely, she saw that the water vapor was gone from the bathroom. Fox Kingsley had already removed his shirt and saw that she was looking at him. He wasn't even a tad bit embarrassed. He threw her a flirty look while unbuckling his pants.

Evelyn felt a wave of shock wash over her. She stopped looking at him and blushed madly as she cursed his ridiculous actions.

Although she had the anatomy of the male body memorized by heart and had even dissected a male body with her instructor. After all, she was young and had never seen a live adult male body. There was no way she could treat Fox Kingsley like Morris.

To tell the truth, Fox Kingsley had a really good figure! It was even better than any other male fitness coaches she had ever seen.

Well! He had taken advantage of her so many times and now she finally had the chance to take advantage of him. How could she waste such a good opportunity by letting it go just like that? She finally found something funny about him.

It was like watching a monkey taking a bath.

Although that was what she thought, she still hesitated over and over again. When she finally decided to look again, she was shocked to see that the bathroom was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.

Was the lamp spoilt?

The light in the bedroom was so bright. Even if the light inside wasn't working, it wouldn't be this dark till the extent that there was nothing for her to see!

"Hold on, there was something weird about this glass wall!

If there was something going on, why hadn't he told her before? He should've known that she almost suffocated in there. " Evelyn thought angrily.

Realizing that he was teasing her, she was instantly furious and walked straight up to the glass wall. She angrily placed her hands on her hips and vented at him with a string of curses. Of course, she was only moving her lips. She didn't dare to let him hear anything, because she really couldn't afford provoking that old wily fox.

While she was scolding, the bathroom suddenly lit up and she suddenly saw Theodore standing 'in front' of her. Evelyn shouted like she had seen a ghost, turned, and ran back to the bed.

Oh dear, had he seen her scolding him?

Everything was over! That guy would definitely take his revenge on her and wouldn't let her off the hook so easily tonight!

Evelyn, who was full of regret now, hid herself under the sheets in a panic. She went for the scalpel under her pillow and held it for a while until she was a little calmer.

"Why am I afraid? Wasn't he the one who teased me in the first place?

No way, I have to talk it out with him!" Evelyn encouraged herself in her mind.

Not knowing how much time had passed, she felt a weight sink into the bed and knew that Theodore was in bed. She immediately removed the sheets from her and sat up. Just as she wanted to question him, there was a sudden pain on her thigh.

"Ah!" She instinctively let out a shrill cry at the unexpected pain.

It hurt so much! Her tears came flowing out.

Before she could respond, Theodore took her into his arms and cooed softly, "Behave. Bear with me. You'll feel good soon."

"It hurts! You bloody... Mmm!" Her mouth was covered, so Evelyn couldn't make another sound. However, she struggled angrily.

With Evelyn locked in his grip, Theodore whispered slowly into her ears, "Grandpa can hear us from outside. You did great just now. Keep doing it or everything will be a waste."

Evelyn finally understood why he had pinched her, but she still couldn't calm her anger and looked at him with fury in her eyes.

"If you dare to not cooperate with me, I will immediately allow you a promotion to motherhood!"

Noting his serious eyes, Evelyn dared not go against him. She nodded like she was wronged to show that she was willing to cooperate with him.

"That's good." Theodore released her with satisfaction. Then, he asked in a low voice, "Want me to pinch again?"

Seeing his hand reach for her thigh again, she remembered the unbearable pain and Evelyn's entire body froze in horror. She instinctively exclaimed, "No!"

"Really?"

Evelyn waved her hand and shook her head, crying and begging, "No, it hurts!"

"Don't cry, I'll go slow. You be good and lie down."

Theodore's voice was extremely gentle, but the expression on his face was completely different. That dominant look on his face made Evelyn tremble with fear as she lay down according to his wish. Afraid that he was going to do something out of the line, she secretly went for the scalpel under the pillow. Unexpectedly, he stood up and got off the bed.

She didn't know what he was going to do so she nervously sat up. One of her hands was under the pillow, ready to take the scalpel out and attack him at any time.

Theodore took a box of ointment, threw it to her and pointed at her leg. Then, he glanced out of the window and sat at the side of the bed.

The box of the ointment had words like 'healing bruises'. Evelyn understood what he meant and looked at her bruised leg. Picking up the ointment, she sobbed and applied the ointment for herself.

She admitted that if this was enough to fool Ethan, then it wasn't a bad idea. But Theodore had been too rough, and it felt like a piece of her leg was almost ripped off.

She had been so unlucky these days! Nothing ever went her way. Especially after meeting that Fox Kingsley, she had become even more unlucky.

"Let me help you."

Watching Theodore approach her with an apologetic look in his eyes, she knew that Ethan had left. Evelyn refused to accept his help and glared hatefully at him. He was reaching out for the ointment when she flicked his hand away angrily and gritted through her teeth, "Get lost!"

Theodore awkwardly retreated his hand and stood aside, watching her apply the ointment for herself.

In hopes that he was able to fool that Old Man who was listening through the walls, he had indeed been a little too rough with her. If he succeeded in fooling him today, it would be even easier to fight him in the future.

In the room next to theirs, Ethan was scolding the crying Charlotte with a sour look on his face. He said, "What's the use of crying? We have to think of a way to kick that woman out."

"But, they have already..."

"So what? Theo has slept with countless women before. Go back and discuss this with your aunt. I will also think of a solution on my side."

After Charlotte left with a look of disappointment, Ethan turned around and stood in front of the window. He fixed his gaze outside the window.

More than ten years ago, when they were building this manor, he had ordered that the balconies of these two rooms be connected in order to supervise his stubborn and ill-mannered grandson. He hadn't expected to put this balcony to good use after so many years.

Hmph. If he was so easily fooled, would he still be standing strong in Arlington after so many years?

"Little punk, trying to fool me. You're still too inexperienced to do that" Ethan thought..

Ethan raised the corner of his eyes in an unfathomable smile.
