Veild Bride : Love From An Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 35
His voice was full of warning and dissatisfaction.
“Ouch, it hurts! Loosen up a bit!” It was so painful that Violet struggled to free herself. “What’s with your comprehension skills? I’m trying to comfort you! I’m trying to help you not worry about it so much! It’s not like it’s cancer! Not like you’ll die!”
“Are you done?” He gritted his teeth. His cold eyes expressed his desire to see her crushed into pieces.
Violet struggled silently to break free. “I’m telling grandpa that you’re bullying me!”
“You dare?” Jack’s eyes were as cold as a glacier. He suddenly leaned his body forward, shocking Violet so abruptly that she stepped back and collided heavily with the French window behind her.
He put one hand on the window, using his height as an advantage to bear down on her.
The tips of their noses touched. Violet’s body froze; she was so frightened that she closed her eyes.
Her body felt like it had been scalded, as though her blood was beginning to heat up.
Jack gazed down intently at her, moving his thin lips. “Is he your grandfather, or mine?”
The scorching intensity of his voice caused her heart to convulse. She did not have the courage to open her eyes; no man. had ever been this close to her before!

“He’s y-y-your grandfather…” Her pink lips whispered. Her other hand reached out to try and push him away but recoiled the moment she touched his firm and warm chest. “You… What are you trying to say? Can you let go?” His grip on her hand was tight enough that she could not break free. “Can we discuss this properly? Don’t come so close.” Her feelings were in a bit of a mess.
At that moment, Jack seemed to realize something. This girl was still rather pure.
my eyesight,
He did not let her go, of course. Maintaining his position, he said softly, “You cannot let anyone know about including my grandfather, and especially Samantha. Otherwise, I’ll make sure your mother dies a tragic death.”
He exuded an extremely frigid aura. Every word he spoke was quiet but full of threat.
“Who is Samantha?” Violet’s heart was pounding.
Jack raised an eyebrow. “My. Step. Mother.”
Startled, Violet opened her eyes and glanced up; her pink lips almost touched his thin ones.
Stepmother? Were his parents divorced?
Jack loosened his grip on her slightly, seemingly unconcerned.
Violet met his eyes. The realization had come to her, but she did not say it out loud. “I, I understand.”
Jack let go of her wrist and stared at her with deep, quiet eyes. “You’ve really not told grandpa?” He needed to confirm it.
Violet shook her head as she looked back at him, saying firmly, “I’d be scu should I tell him when it has nothing to do with me?”
if I were lying. I’m very honest, okay? Why
Jack had a strong ability to read people. He could work out what she was thinking just by studying her eyes.
It was true. She was not lying.
He finally believed her.
“Don’t worry,” Jack’s voice softened somewhat as he looked away. “As long as you do as I say obediently, I won’t trouble you.”
