The room fell into a tense silence after those words were spoken, creating a delicate atmosphere.

Edgar remained motionless, seemingly stunned by the request. Sylvia’s brows furrowed, her expression turning dark. “Hurry up, I want to see the injury.”

Edgar’s spirits dampened instantly. So, she just wanted to see the injury, and he had misunderstood her intentions. But wait” an injury? How did she suddenly suspect he was injured? Did Nick tell her

something?

“My injury is fine. I’ve been applying medicine for the past two days, and it’s almost healed,” he quickly

responded.

Sylvia gave him a cold look. “Take it off!”

Edgar hesitated, not making a move, “With a bandage, you can’t see the wound.”

“Tear it off. It’s not a big deal if you need to reapply the medication,” she insisted firmly.

So, she really intended to see it? Edgar pondered how to divert the situation.

Seeing through his thoughts, Sylvia sternly warned, “Don’t try to deceive me tonight. You have to take it

off!”

“Sylvia, I appreciate your concern for my injury, and it warms my heart. However, it’s late now, and I should rest early. We can see each other tomorrow,” he tried to reason.

Sylvia gritted her teeth, suppressing the urge to tie him up and forcibly remove his clothes. She retorted, “You yourself said that you would unconditionally obey my orders. Was that just an empty promise?”

Edgar was left speechless, realizing that she was referring to his previous pledge. Reluctantly, he extended his hand towards the gold button on his suit.

Sylvia observed his movements with patience, rubbing her brows as she waited quietly. Edgar took off his suit and carefully placed it on the tabletop of her dressing table. After a few seconds of hesitation, he proceeded to unbutton his shirt.

As he unbuttoned the two buttons on his chest, he whispered, “Should I take off my pants too?”
