Chapter 697

Jareth carried Marilla back to their room.

In just a few moves, he removed the white cotton dress stained with paint from her body, and carried her snow–white figure into the bathroom.

The bathtub was filled with steam, and the man gingerly placed her into it. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself, so he didn’t get in with her, Instead, he sat on the edge of the bathtub, rolled up his black shirt sleeves, and gently wiped her delicate skin with a cloth.

He found that the girl, who had been plumper thanks to his care, had recently lost weight. Her flat belly, her cool collarbones, her pointed chin.

Jareth tightly pursed his lips, unable to suppress the pain in his heart.

He suddenly began to regret.

Suddenly, there was a splash.

Marilla’s white and tender body emerged from the water, her slender arms tightly hugged his neck, and she sobbed loudly.

Hot tears fell one by one onto Jareth’s shoulder as she cried. He was frightened, his arms wrapped around her smooth body, wishing he could embed her into his very being.

“What’s wrong? Who bullied my wife and made her cry so sadly?”

Jareth asked anxiously, but Marilla just cried.

She was scared, so very scared.

She was afraid that Jareth would do dangerous things for her again.

She was afraid of the darkness of night, afraid of waking up in the morning without him by her side, afraid that he would get into trouble and be arrested.

Before, she was afraid of losing him.

Now, she just wanted him to be safe and sound.

“Could

you come home early?” Marilla asked, her eyes red from crying.

“So, you missed me.”

Jareth let out a sigh of relief, his cool lips grazing her damp, thin shoulders, kissing her inch by inch before finally nibbling at her shoulder
