Chapter 61
Ferris froze, the light in his eyes gradually dimming, his expression slowly turning cold: “Are you sure?”
I looked directly at him, my tone cold but firm. He had obviously forgotten what he had said before.
“I would accept gifts from anyone else, but not from you. Eww.”
As soon as the words fell. I pushed him away without hesitation and turned to leave.
Ferris watched my resolute retreating figure, his knuckles tightening. The next second, he threw the exquisitely packaged gift box hard into the trash can.
Having not eaten all evening, plus his cold still not fully recovered, his stomach ached dully, the pain so intense that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
łe didn’t know what was wrong with him today. Just seeing that delicate bracelet, his first thought had been of you–but you showed no appreciation whatsoever, even guarding against him like he was a stranger.
‘erris’s expression was frighteningly dark. He pressed his hand against his stomach, gritted his teeth, and sat back on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest and tryinĮ > suppress his churning emotions.
Meanwhile, I reached the door only to find it wouldn’t open.
he door was locked from the inside.
tried turning the handle several times, then turned back to glare at him angrily: “You locked the door?”
erris slowly opened his eyes, his tone indifferent but righteous: “We are alpha and luna, we should be living together anyway.”
laughed bitterly.” Oh now you remember I’m the luna? Isn’t it a bit too late?”
e remained silent, just looking at me with heavy eyes, as if suppressing his emotions to avoid a fight, but with no intention of backing down.
didn’t want to argue with him anymore. Feeling annoyed and confused, I finally had to give in reluctantly.
Whatever, we’re definitely not sleeping together anyway.”
fter saying this coldly, I turned and walked toward the guest room at the end of the hallway.
pushed the door open, locked it from inside, and leaned against the door, closing my eyes.
erris had looked very uncomfortable just now–his stomach condition must have flared up again.
ut I was no longer the Aurora who cared about him constantly.
erris sat on the sofa for about half an hour, listening as the sounds from my room upstairs gradually quieted. Only then did he confirm that I truly didn’t care
bout him anymore.
side the room, I took medicine and lay in bed, slowly drifting off to sleep.
ut not long after, the locked door was opened with a key, and a tall figure walked in.
he man pulled back the covers and drew me into his arms with his large hands, holding me tight.
reathing in my familiar, pleasant scent, Ferris felt his physical discomfort ease somewhat.
sensed this and opened my eyes. In the pitch–black room, I couldn’t see the man clearly and reached out to push him away.
ut Ferris held me even tighter.
Don’t move, let me hold you for a while.”
His voice was low and hoarse–clearly his cold had worsened.
“Let go of me.“I noticed his whole body was burning hot.
Ferris pressed his forehead against mine: “No.”
When I reached out to push him, I accidentally touched something and reflexively pulled back.
Ferris groaned uncomfortably.
“I told you, don’t move around.”
His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.
Listening to his strong heartbeat, I shrank inward, but soon his long arm swept around me, pulling me close again.
Ferris leaned against me, and unlike last time, this time he found himself even more unable to sleep, his palms beginning to wander.
When I noticed, I instinctively dodged: “What are you doing?”
“Don’t you want to?” Ferris asked. “Haven’t you always wanted to be intimate with me? Now you have your chance.”
His body temperature seemed to have risen another degree.
“That is, by all means, disgusting.”
I shrank further inward until there was nowhere left to retreat.
“Too late.”
Seeing my somewhat rejecting movements, Ferris couldn’t help but feel acid rising in his heart: “What, I’m not good enough, but Adrian is?”
Slap!
As soon as Ferris finished speaking, he was met with a sharp slap from me.
