Of Pillows and Pampering นิยาย บท 6

The atmosphere in the villa grew tense.

Elijah scanned the bottles of medicine that were arranged on the table. His eyes were several degrees colder. “So, Mrs. Moses did that for me. It is I who have misjudged Mrs. Moses.”

Sally was not an idiot. She understood the insult as clear as day from Elijah’s words and his eyes.

The man simply gave the butler standing next to him a gesture.

The butler jogged over hurriedly and removed all of the bottles.

Sally felt somewhat guilty. “You asked the butler to take all of them… It is because you don’t want to eat them?”

She thought he was unhappy.

The corner of Elijah’s lips curved upward in a smile that did not look like a smile. He said, “Eat first.”

His voice was low and piercingly low. Sally felt like the air surrounding them became cold.

It looked like he was truly angry.

Sally held her right hand in her left hand anxiously.

Considering how it was just the second day after they got married, was it inappropriate for her to get him medicine?

Did he think that Sally resented him because she got him medicine right after they got married?

Evonne’s words echoed inside Sally’s ears, that disabled people were especially sensitive.

Sally could not help but blame Evonne. That brat, if she knew that disabled people were fragile, why did she let Sally bring him medicine at this time!

Of course, Sally was at fault too. She should not have overlooked this.

“Eat.”

The man’s low voice spat out one word.

Sally picked up a pair of chopsticks instantly and started to eat obediently.

Sally was extremely stressed out and anxious throughout the entire meal.

After the meal, the butler approached her. “Madam, Mr. Moses’ grandfather just called. He invited Mr. Moses and you to go over for dinner tonight. The driver will pick you up after school. Please refrain from arranging other activities after school.”

“Got it!”

Sally smiled politely. “I have no plans at night anyway!”

Sally’s eyes curved into two crescent moons whenever she smiled. They were sincere and adorable. They made her look like a person who was unlikely to scheme.

After saying that, she picked up her bag and gave Elijah a big wave. “I’m leaving!”

The butler waited for the young girl’s figure to disappear from everyone’s line of sight before approaching Elijah from the back. “The medicine has been sent for inspection. The results will be out soon.”

He could not help to add, “Somehow, I don’t think Madam is a scheming person.”

Elijah stared indifferently in the general direction where Sally took off. “Investigate the doctor who invited her for lunch.”

The butler pressed his lips together and reminded Elijah. “The driver said Madam’s friend was the one who passed the medicine to her. I think Madam’s friend is more suspicious…”

His sentence was interrupted by a suffocating coldness that emanated from Elijah.

With an ambiguous smile playing around his lips, Elijah responded, “I want to investigate the person who asked my wife out for lunch. Is there a problem?”

“None… None, sir!”

…

As Sally walked out of her school after class, she saw the driver waiting for her at the main gate.

A Rolls-Royce was parked somewhere not so distant from the school gate.

Sally heard her heart skip a beat.

She dashed toward the driver and said, “Let’s go!”

If any of her classmates saw her going into a luxurious car, all sorts of rumors would fly around the school!

Yet, the more worried she was about the matter, the more likely it was to happen.

The moment when Sally got into the car, she clearly saw one of her classmates, Joan Lewis’ shocked face.

She was done for…

Sally fell into utter despair.

Joan Lewis could be compared to a megaphone speaker in school. The whole school would know what she knew in less than a day.

“Sit tight.”

As Sally nearly slammed her head thinking about ways to salvage the situation, a man’s throaty voice came from her back.

She froze and turned around.

The man with a black ribbon around his eyes sat in the backseat of the car with a face as cold as a glacier.

She was shocked. “Why are you here?”

The plan was for the driver to pick her up so that they could join Grandpa Moses for dinner, right?

“Was passing by.”

The man leaned against the leather seat as he casually spat out the three words.

It felt like he was not keen on talking to her.
