Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 802

Following Vincent back to the bedroom, Elaine drank some of the water in the glass and handed it to Vincent who was behind her. "Here, your water."

Vincent took it but he didn't drink the water.

Seeing that, she asked casually, "Didn't you say you're thirsty?"

Still, he didn't speak and just played with the glass, to which she gradually grew a little anxious. A while later, he finally said, "There's something that I wanna ask you."

Elaine froze. "Wh-what?"

"Earlier, you clearly were angry at me, so why are you acting calmly now?" His eyes were full of doubt. "What are you thinking? Or, what are you planning?"

Without saying anything, she suddenly splashed the water in her cup at him.

Vincent dodged the attack right away.

Then, he frowned and looked at her deeply.

But she just shrugged and said, "Is that how you want me to react?"

He was puzzled.

"If I'm acting like I do normally, you get suspicious. So do you prefer me to shout and make a scene instead?"

With that said, she stared at him with a poker face.

Vincent was surprised a little. Suddenly, he laughed and looked at her with a burning gaze.

Under his laughter, Elaine was a little frightened.

However, he just finished the water in the glass and took her to bed with a smile. "Come sleep with me."

She put up with it.

On the bed, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, which made her a little difficult to breathe. She snorted and pushed him, but he hugged her even tighter as he thought that she wanted to escape. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Hmmm..."

She moaned as her face buried in his solid chest.

Listening to the thumping beat of his heart, she was running out of breath so she pounded on his chest to signal her discomfort.

However, Vincent thought that she was having a temper so he didn't loosen his embrace.

After a few struggles, she stopped moving.

Only then did he realize that something was wrong. He quickly released her and saw that her face had turned red.

Then, she rolled her eyes and snapped, "Are you trying to kill me?"

"Who would hug a person so tight like you? I almost can't breathe!"

She yelled in anger.

"I... I'm sorry.”

She wanted to scold him further, but seeing his apologetic look, she swallowed her anger and said, "Never mind..."

Pouting, she then asked, "Have you never hugged someone? Why are you using so much strength?"

"Well, I haven't. I'll be careful next time."

Elaine was surprised.

He actually had never hugged anyone before?

Although she was curious about that, she didn't ask it out.

Surprisingly, after a pause, Vincent took the initiative to explain, "I don't like to be intimate with others, and neither do I like being disturbed during my sleep. But you're an exception. I like to sleep with you in my arms. You make me calm down."

Hearing that, Elaine took a few glances at him before asking, "That day at Dr. Perkins's house, I woke up and found you awake in the living

room..."

"Yeah, that's me."

As if knowing what she wanted to ask, Vincent nodded. "The first time we met was at Howard's home."

"That was the first time we met?"

"Actually, it's earlier than that day."

"Like when?"

Glancing at her, Vincent hesitated whether he should tell her or not.

Right then, she shot him a glare. "Just say it."

"Well... That day, when I went to Howard's house for the first time, you happened to just come out of the shower with a bath towel. And you were startled to see me in the living room..."

Instantly, Elaine's memories were brought back. She recalled that 'Dr. Perkins' was acting differently from usual that day. He was particularly reticent. But, she didn't think too much back then.

Ah, she was stupid.

Meanwhile, Vincent's gaze slowly deepened. "That day, I kissed you. Lying under my body, you stared at me with a pair of frightened doe eyes."

Hearing that, her body stiffened.

Back then, she thought that it was Howard who had kissed her. As a result, she was quite angry with Howard in the next few days.

But it turned out that it was not Howard...

Instead, it was Vincent...

"Why did you do that?" She was still upset to think about it now.

Vincent pursed his lips, saying nothing.

Under her questioning, she could see the tips of his ears getting a little red.

"Vincent, tell me."

With a snort, he turned his face away.

Eventually, Elaine decided to change the subject. "Why do you look exactly the same as Dr. Perkins?"

Hearing that, Vincent looked at her deeply for a while.

So she guessed, "Are you two twins?"

However, he closed his eyes, saying lightly, "I'm gonna sleep now. Let's talk about this another time."

Elaine didn't mind if he didn't want to speak about it since it was his privacy. But she needed to know the truth, so she could warn Dr. Perkins when she

had a chance.

"Please, tell me what happened first before you go to sleep."

She wanted to know it so much that she even took the initiative to hold his arm.

Sensing her touch, Vincent opened his eyes and glanced at her hand.

However, from the silent look on his face, she reckoned that he would not tell her the truth.

"You're right. Howard and I are twins, but I was abandoned at a young age."

She widened her eyes in surprise because she didn't expect him to have such a past, and what was more, he was willing to tell her.

"What happened after that?"

"Luckily, I was saved by someone, so I get to live until now."

Elaine furrowed her brows upon hearing that. No wonder he killed Bob without even blinking an eye.

Growing up, he must have gone through something that made him the way he was now.

She was lost in thought.

Suddenly, Vincent circled her into his arms again and ordered, "Sing to me."

"I wanna listen to you singing."

"But didn't you say you wanted to sleep just now?"

"I'm not very sleepy yet. Perhaps I'll fall asleep under your singing."

"Alright."

As soon as she heard that he would fall asleep, she began to sing. Her voice was soft and sweet, which was quite pleasing to his ears.

He tilted his head to look at her with a deep gaze.

As time went by, he was overwhelmed by a sense of sleepiness and eventually fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing that, Elaine stopped singing and called out tentatively, "Vincent?"

But he just lay there still.

It seemed that the drug had come into effect.

She immediately came out of his arms and ran towards the door.
