Chapter 10 Did I Fail to Satisfy You?

• Her feelings?! Those words felt like a bucket of ice water dousing Edward’s budding desire and extinguishing the flames of his passion! His expression was gloomy and cold; his eyes were even more terrifying. Then, he gave a chilling sneer. “Summer Woods, what right do you have to mention her?”
• Summer felt cold from the inside out upon hearing those words. It also made her heart tremble in response.
• Leaning closer, he once again closed the distance between them. His low, hoarse voice rang out beside her ear; his mumbling sounded as deep and sexy as a cello—it was easy to bewitch a person with it. “Summer, you aren’t even worthy of holding her shoes. Where did you get the confidence to even mention her?”
• As he spoke, he tightened his grip around her wrist. The tightening of his grip made her lift her head subconsciously, and she so happened to look directly into the forced smile on his handsome face as a result. Unfortunately, that smile was so cold that it froze her insides and made her body start trembling uncontrollably.
• “Three years ago, you were inebriated. But, aren’t you betraying her again if you touch me once more three years later?!”
• “Shut up, Summer! Shut your f*cking mouth! I told you; you don’t have the right! Didn’t you hear me?!” When he heard her words, he used his free hand to grab her by her lower jaw viciously. His eyes were scarlet with anger.
• At that moment, all she could think of was escaping from him. She didn’t want him to touch her again, let alone recall her memories of what happened that night. Therefore, she took a deep breath and deliberately avoided looking into his livid eyes. “Grandma wants us to have more children. But, we can opt for IVF.”
• He stopped moving as soon as the words left her mouth, seeming to consider it seriously. For some reason, she became even more frightened when she saw the man pausing in his movements because of her words. She watched the man on top of her in trepidation. She was afraid that he might rape her if she let her guard down! Besides, they were so close together that she could hear his strong and powerful heartbeat clearly.
• “IVF?”
• Seeing that he finally responded, she hastily nodded in reply to his question. Although the IVF process is very complicated, I don’t have any other choice.
• “Summer, what makes you think I would allow you to have my child again?!” All of a sudden, the man who had stopped moving because of her words curled his lips in amusement. Even his black eyes were filled with mockery.
• What he said left her in a greater panic. This is the only idea I could think of! What am I to do if he won’t agree to it?! “I—”
• “Summer, did you think you would get a second chance to play your tricks on me again?” Then, his lips strongly pressed against her lips again without any warmth. “Hah! You should have prepared yourself for the consequences when you dared to provoke me back then!”
• His scent—a mixture of red wine and the shower gel that also enveloped her body—rushed toward her flushed face once again. His kiss was too forceful, making her unable to even breathe. Thus, she could only suffer his kiss powerlessly. Even though she wanted to resist his advances, her lips were sealed while his large hands pressed against the back of her head. He held her tightly as he sucked on her lips fiercely.
• “No! Let go of me! Please… Don’t do this to me, please—” Summer couldn’t help it anymore; she began to beg Edward not to treat her in that manner.
• However, Edward not only ignored her pleas, but he also increased the force he exerted on her when he heard her begging him. He kissed her even more ferociously as if doing it on purpose—it felt like he was trying to swallow all her cries. I don’t want to hear a single word coming from her. This pretentious woman only makes me sick!
• “Edward, don’t do this to me! No! Please, I’m begging you!” Her shocked gasp made both of their breaths mingle with each other tightly.
• “Beg me? It’s too late!” The ambiguous atmosphere surrounding the large bed that aroused all sorts of fantasies began to grow stronger—so much so that even the surrounding air burned with passion.
• She stared at his expressionless yet handsome face nervously. At the same time, the panic in her heart grew stronger and stronger. Even though she had tried to prepare herself mentally for this back in the bathroom just now, she discovered that she couldn’t go through with it now that she was at his mercy again!
• “Please, I will do anything you ask of me. Just… please, don’t do this to me.” I can’t do this. I really can’t…
• “Haha. Don’t do this to you?” It was clear that he had failed to notice that something was wrong with her. All he could think about was the hatred and disgust he held for her. Such a pretentious woman should never be allowed to exist on this earth in the first place.
• When he saw the red and swollen eyes of the woman lying under him as she wept out of fear, his black eyes narrowed and the look in his eyes became grimmer. Even so, the movements of his hands did not stop in the slightest. In his opinion, her struggles were just part of her strategy of playing hard to get. Wasn’t everything she did in the past just a ploy in hopes of making me come back? And now, she even slyly tried to use IVF to attract my attention. What a scheming woman! Damn it!
• Scowling coldly, he moved his lower body and penetrated her!
• By the time Summer woke up again, it was already midnight. She sat up with a body that felt like it had been run over by a car. Then, she heard Edward’s deep voice saying without a single trace of emotion, “Get lost if you’re awake.”
• Only then did she get a clear glimpse of Edward. He had put on his bathrobe at some point and was holding a cigarette in his hand. Turning around, he sneered at the sight of her expression—she had yet to recover from her shock. “It looks like just now wasn’t enough for you!”
• Upon hearing those words, she raised her head abruptly and glanced in the direction he was looking. She reacted instantly, hurriedly grabbing the blankets beside her to cover herself up. However, he was completely unaware that she, who was hiding under the blankets, was already trembling uncontrollably from the ordeal just now.
• She was pale-faced, weak, and as wretched as a ghost. She looked even weirder under the dim evening light coming in through the windows. I should be happy to see her expression and her tears. So, why am I feeling so frustrated instead?! “You pretentious woman! I’ve told you before; don’t let me see your dirty tears!”
• Subconsciously lifting her head from under the blankets at those words, she looked at the man standing by the bedside. He was exuding a cold aura. She could tell that those tightly pursed lips of his were cold and lacking in warmth without even touching them.
• “Get the f*ck out immediately!”
• He wants me to leave? God knows how much I want to leave right now! But, I can’t! I can’t leave until he promises me that he will go for the operation! Summer looked at those eyes that were so similar to her son’s and felt her heart clenching painfully. He met Charlie today. Didn’t he feel anything? Not even the slightest bit of love for Charlie?
• “Summer Woods, are you finally revealing your true colors now? Did I fail to satisfy you just now?” Edward curled his lips into a mocking smile and spoke with a hint of disdain mixed into his insulting words.
