Sweet Wife in Hidden Marriage novel Chapter 52

Archibald’s behaviour of calling her nickname made Lilian’s heart keep pounding. What happened on that night passed over her head and she couldn’t help flushing when thinking of it. Her hand slowly grabbed his suit and she could hear her own heartbeat, quickly and in a mess.

Lillian blinked her eyes to stop thinking about those memory fragments. In a short time, all things left in her eyes were relief and sarcasm, “Archibald, are you trying to say that you will be responsible for what happened on that night?” Lillian pushed him away and looked up at him.

However, Archibald still gazed at her from above in a short distance. He curled up his lip and asked, “Why not? I have told you I won’t start a relationship with someone easily, and once I start, I will be responsible.”

“But I don’t even like you. It’s just an accident, and you don’t need to be responsible for an accident! I don’t need you to!”

“Then maybe you can be responsible for me.”

“You!” Lillian didn’t know how to respond him and could only reply, “Archibald, why are you doing this to me? It’s impossible for us to be together.”

“Why? Just give me a reason. There is nothing wrong for us to be together!” Archibald quickly asked her, trying to get an answer.

She clenched her fists more tightly, making the vein especially clear. She almost yelled out: I already have a husband!

However, Lillian held herself up because telling him what happened would only cause trouble. Besides, why should she tell him?

Archibald seemed to be anxious and asked, “Tell me the truth! Why can’t you?”

Lillian was bothered by him and wanted to rebel. Why did he try to push her? It was only an accident for them to have sex. Why couldn’t him simply let her go?

She used all of her strength to push him away, secured herself from his siege, and hurriedly ran towards the door.

“Archibald, that’s enough. I don’t care what conspiracy you have. I can’t play with you anymore and don’t involve me in!” She ran away after saying this and didn’t want to argue with him.

Lillian recalled the time she spent with Archibald and found he was always the man behind who could let things go as he wish. His harmless and gentle appearance was opposite to his true personality, which brought her a sense of tension, as if she was a trapped animal and would be hunted at any time!

Lillian was afraid of this feeling.

Archibald didn’t chase her, instead, when seeing she went away, all of his aggressive mood were gone. He turned to look outside the window and light covered inside his eyes. He curled his lip and sighed. He was so close to make her confess. Lillian was really good at keep the secret, which meant he had to do more to let her trust him.

Lillian had run a ling way before she finally stopped. After the intense feeling going away, she breathed in relief and went against the wall weakly.

It was dark in the room and no light went in with the cover of thick curtain, depressed and toneless.

The girl on the bed moved slightly and then remained still. After a short while, she suddenly stood up.

She was surrounded by endless darkness. It was in her dream that she was swallowed by the darkness. When realizing this, she hurriedly turned on the light. The light was shining bright, making she see clearly what was going on.

“Ah!” On that day, in a single room of a hotel, a woman’s sharp voice came. On that day, people saw a woman strode her way with dishevelled hair. She went through the crowd and lots of cars, seeming to be blind of whisking cars.

Nobody recognized that she was the cherished woman of Sebastian. Joanna, an elegant actress who was the most popular star in the Palmer Media Ltd..

She was lying in the bathtub with a pair of hollow eyes and remained the same gesture for a long time when water kept pouring in.

When the water went above her neck, above her mouth and got closer and closer to her nose, she remained still as if having lost her senses.

The sounds of water that pouring to the bathtub combined with that pouring from the bathtub. Joanna seemed to experience what happened on that night in her illusion, when the muscular man walked towards her and untied the rope around her ankle.

She had never experienced that feeing and wished to pass out. However, the drug inside her body was destroy her nerve. The man, who probably had served lots of women, started to raise her primitive desire.

He was so good at flirting that she gradually lost herself under drug effect.

Jonna had forgotten how crazy that night was. However, marks on her body kept reminding her that it was not a dream!

She wished to use a knife to get rid of those marks and refused to see those disgusting marks even her flesh was hurt by the knife!

She always thought that she belonged to Sebastian. However, she was destroyed, ironically, by such a filthy man!

Sebastian would definitely despise her when hearing she was so desperate at that time to have sex with that man. It was driving her crazy as long as she thought of his gaze.

She was on the edge of losing her mind. Tears kept running down and mixed with water. She couldn’t tell which was water and which were her tears.

The water already reached her nose and she subconsciously lowered her face to let everything come to an end…

More water came and she sank to the bottom of the bathtub.

After a while, someone was knocking at the door of the bathroom anxiously.

However, inside, was dead silence.

Auntie took a great effort to open the door, found there was water all over the floor and Joanna was lying in the bathtub.

She was really scared and immediately rushed towards her, “Mistress, mistress, what’s wrong with you? Wake up, wake up. You can’t sleep here!” Auntie was getting used to do chores and had enough strength to pull Joanna out of the bathtub.

She noticed something was wrong when seeing Joanna came in rags. Joanna stayed for a long time in her room and Auntie couldn’t get any reply even by asking her many times outside the door. Finally, Auntie was worried about her and rushed in, only found no one was in the room and the sound of water came from the bathroom.

Her instinct was right that something happened to mistress.

She directly hugged her on the bed, reached out her finger around her nose and found her breath was weak. Mistress was drowned! Luckily, she got in on time, otherwise, she could probably die!

She pushed her chest and upper mouth with great strength, trying everything she could to wake her up.

“Hawk…” Joanna suddenly vomited a mouthful of water and returned to consciousness.

Auntie was glad that she woke up, “Mistress, finally you’re awake! Great!”

Joanna only felt she had lost all of her strength. She opened her eyes weakly and saw Auntie’s delightful face. She whispered, “Auntie.”

“Mistress, what’s wrong with you? It’s too dangerous to fall asleep when you’re taking a bath. You almost dead!” Auntie pet her chest anxiously when thinking of what happened just now.

However, Joanna suddenly got angry when hearing this and scolded, “Why did you pull me out? Who allow you to get in my room? You are just a servant! What are you doing here?” Joanna took heavy breath and looked at Auntie maliciously. The rim of her eyes turned red because of drowning, making her look even more scary.

Auntie was taken aback by her words. She grabbed her own apron awkwardly and her face turned red because of Joanna’s scold, “I, I just found you have been in your room for a long time and I am worried that…”

“What are you worried about? I don’t want to live anymore! Why couldn’t you just let me die? Why did you mind my business? Why did you pull me out? Why?” Joanna yelled hysterically and, gradually, her yelling turned to choke. She grabbed the sheet under her body with great strength, wishing to split everything apart!

Auntie was scared by her behaviour and asked in a gentle manner, “Mistress, what’s, what’s going on? Have you met something that makes you unhappy? Do I need to call master back?”

When hearing Sebastian, Joanna cried out anxiously, “No! Don’t tell him! You can’t let he find out! No, no!” She was really frightened and kept shaking her head to express her resistance.

Auntie had noticed marks on Joanna’s body and she knew how those marks came.

However, she was really frightened when seeing those marks, which represented a crazy sex. When seeing mistress’s behaviour, she speculated that it was not the master who did this.

It was weird that master didn’t come home for a long time. Auntie noticed that mistress was waiting in front of the window every night and maybe she was waiting for her husband to come back.

However, a voice came at this time. It was Sebastian. “Joanna, are you home?”

Both of them were frightened by Sebastian’s voice. Both of them didn’t expect that he would come back at this point. Auntie looked at mistress, who was naked with clear marks on her body, and was afraid that master would find out what happened!

Joanna was dumbfounded. She sat on the bed and kept staring at the door of the bedroom, didn’t know what to do. She could hear his steps clearly and her heart was pounding so quickly, as if it would soon jump out of her chest!

Finally, the door opened slowly, like a long shoot in a movie.
