A Miracle Fault novel Chapter 75

She should just leave well enough alone instead of refusing to let go.

But she did not know why she felt so upset and didn't want to get close to Stefan whenever she thought of him having somebody else in his mind.

"You're lying. Look how angry you are." Stefan held her more tightly in his arms, seeing her not admitting it.

While saying these, he kissed her face gently.

"It was my fault last night. I will make it up for you tonight. Will you stop being mad at me?" Stefan said in a muffled voice.

Emmeline felt even more bashful hearing what he just said.

She would have turned away and called him lecher if she had not been stuck in his arms.

That was not why she was angry with Stefan. How come a clever man like him didn't know about it? He said this on purpose.

Emmeline blushed at herself.

She corrected him righteously, "Don't evade my question. You know this was not the reason."

Although the way he treated her last night did make her feel bad.

But it was a horse of a different color. How could he misunderstand what she said like this?

"Well, I do know that. But honey, you are angry, incredibly angry." He just played a small trick to induce her lovely little thoughts. He could not help smiling.

He bowed down and kissed her soft lips gently.

He said in a deep voice, "I won't do it again. Do not be angry with me. Tonight, I will make it up for you properly."

It seemed that this little cutie was too susceptible.

He did not know a bit of tone change in the study last night could make her sad like this.

It seemed that he honestly should not leave the current life be stirred by the past.

That portrait did not matter at all. At that time, his legs were broken, and he was devastated. That girl did accompany him for quite a long time.

Although the girl in the portrait was not long in his heart, he remembered clearly what had happened at that time.

After all, she was the first girl who ever knocked open the door of his heart. And she was the same girl who cried for his broken legs at the top of her lungs.

"No one mentioned making it up, you jerk." Hearing what Stefan said, Emmeline realized that she had just fallen into his trap again.

She pounded lightly on his chest with her clenched hand.

But her face was still blushed like a rose.

For she simply could not look calm while being held so snugly by Stefan.

"I'm a jerk, your only jerk. Honey, you fancy me, don't you!" He had Emmeline in his arms, watching her beautiful face tinged all over with blushes.

Stefan could not help feeling bit spellbound.

His body started to get hot and excited.

Dame it! He could barely contain his desire whenever he was with this girl!

"I do not fancy you. Stop flattering yourself." Teased by what Stefan just said, timid as how Emmeline felt right now, she simply wanted the ground to open up and swallow her.

How could she like him? She was just a substitute, and she would never lose herself for him.

Although she could not help getting a little bit fond of him only because he was so good to her.

"There was no way that I would fall in love with Stefan so easily."

She would never bear with an unrequited love for a man let alone a cranky man like him.

At the time, she and Antonio possibly had crush on each other. But now, she felt so small in front of Stefan.

She did not want to be heartbroken later on so there was no way that she would sink deeper in love with a dangerous man like Stefan Byrne.

"Me? flattering myself? Are you sure about this?" Staring at this little cutie in front of him, Stefan could not believe that she was still trying to deny it by now.

In fact, he knew that she was afraid of him but into him as well. If not, she could simply walk away on the day of knowing that he realized that she was not Emmeline Campbell instead of leaving him until his legs were okay.

But she did not leave. Maybe out of her kindness but more of the love she had for him. How could he not know what was going on in her pretty little head?

Stefan grinned while putting his arms around her closely. Then he immediately turned his wheelchair towards the bed.

"Wait! What are you doing? I'm here to give you a massage…" Emmeline felt so nervous once she realized what Stefan was planning to do next.

Feeling her fears, Stefan whispered in a low voice, "Just for once. I will be very gentle with you."
