Not One, But Two!

Chapter 231

"Greg." Abigail's voice turned gentle all of a sudden.

"Huh?"

Greg discovered that he really couldn't resist Abigail when she got gentle. She was like spring water dripping into his heart, making it ripple, filling him with anticipation, and making him succumb to her.

"Come closer."

She smiled amorously, and Greg leaned toward her like he had been enchanted. The next second, Abigail, still smiling, lowered her head and bit down his neck mercilessly.

"Ah—" Greg stiffened upon feeling the pain, but at the thought that his rough skin and leathery flesh might be tough on his beloved's teeth, he instantly heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed his muscles, letting her do as she pleased.

As long as she was happy and as long as she vented her anger, he would even gladly let her mangle him.

Abigail's jaw was beginning to feel sore. This is exhausting; his flesh is really leathery.

With that, she pushed him away and huffed, "Happy? Is this what you want? Have you gotten into masochism lately? It's like you're uncomfortable if you're not punished."

She was rather spent after this little torment, which, sure enough, got Greg smiling, not giving a thing about the bite mark on his neck.

He pulled Abigail into his arms and said earnestly as he took in the realness of her touch. "I'm sorry, Abigail, for letting you worry."

Abigail smiled in response. "Don't worry about it. You had my best interest at heart and didn't want those guys to keep a close eye on me at all times anyway. I guess you've also done society a favor."

Greg meant well, and that she never denied.

"I don't care what happens to other people. I just want your life to forever be smooth sailing."

At that, he tightened his hug.

Touched by his actions, she patted his shoulder, careful to avoid his injury. "Get some rest. You can't afford any more torment right now."

"Alright." With that, Greg removed his shoes and got into bed, scooping Abigail into his arms while he was at it. He looked complacent that Abigail no longer had the heart to berate him.

Oh, forget it. I've already punished him by ignoring him all morning. Besides, the pain during the surgery would've taught him a good lesson.

Abigail couldn't fall back to sleep no matter how when he wasn't around earlier. Now that he was, her eyelids suddenly felt heavy, and she gradually drifted into slumber even though the bed was a little snug for two.

She felt really secure with his crisp scent surrounding her.

Greg opened his eyes when he heard her deep, even breathing, and his heart couldn't help aching when he saw the dark circles around her eyes.

At that, he shut his eyes again and, too, drifted off to sleep with Abigail in his arms.

Outside, Addison was exasperated that Benjamin escorted him out of the ward when Abigail had let him stay by her side. But who'd have thought two sh*t-stirrers, named Greg Buckley and Benjamin Wallis, suddenly showed up and foiled all his plans?!
