Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 795

Wrath and rage filled Vincent's eyes, but upon seeing Elaine's look of terror, he gradually calmed down.

After a long while, he said, "He is fine and alive."

Elaine breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, he did something wrong, and I hate him for it, but no matter what, he is my brother. I can never change this fact."

The incident revealed Paul's character clearly. She decided that she would not do anything to him anymore, but she couldn't ignore him.

"Mr. Bradbury, please let me see him and let him go. I will bring him back to my hometown." She sat upright and stared at him. "Please."

Mr. Bradbury?

Vincent narrowed his eyes at the title. "What did you just call me?"

Expressionless, Elaine repeated, "Mr. Bradbury."

After staring at her for a long while, Vincent finally smirked but the coldness in his eyes sent chills down her spine.

Upon hearing his creepy laugh, Elaine felt edgy and unsettled.

He seemed to be angry.

But there was a smile on his face, although it was a sneer.

Darting her eyes as she didn't dare to look straight at him, she pursed her lips and pleaded softly, "He is my only brother. I can't let anything happen to him, or my parents will kill me. Please, let me

see him. I'm begging you..."

She begged him over and over again, but he remained unmoved.

He had been sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her expressionlessly.

Gradually, Elaine felt as if her hope dwindled.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door followed by a maid's voice, "Sir, the food is ready."

"Come in."

Said Vincent.

With that, the maid opened the door and came in with a tray in her hand.

Then, she put the tray on the table and quietly went out.

Getting up from the bed, he beckoned, "Come and eat."

This time, it was Elaine's turn to remain unmoved.

Turning to look at her, Vincent squinted and spat,

"Do you want me to bring the food to you?"

After that, he chuckled, "I haven't served anyone else food in bed. You are the first one."

Then, he lifted the tray and went straight to her.

She shouted, "I don't want to eat. Put it there!"

He frowned at her reaction. The eyebrows of Vincent slightly sank. "What is this? A hunger strike?"

Elaine glared at him quietly. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Of course, she didn't think about starving herself as it would do harm to her own health, but she didn't want to eat anything from him.

It felt as if she would somehow be connected to him if she did, and she didn't want that to happen.

Therefore, she would rather starve for a whole day than eat anything in this house.

Instead, Vincent came over with the tray in his hand and stood in front of her. "Get up and eat. Don't let me repeat it."

Silently, she turned her head away and did not look at him.

Vincent slightly raised his brows. This was a sign before he got angry.

If it were someone else, he would have thrown the tray to her directly, or let someone tie her up, pry open her mouth, and poured all the food into her

mouth.

Anyone who went against him would come to no good end.

But this person in front of him wasn't someone else.

She was the woman he was interested in now.

If he really did use such a crude method on her, she would not be able to withstand it.

She was so petite and fragile as if a gust of wind could carry her away easily. Brute force would certainly harm her.

Staring at her for a moment, Vincent found that he was very patient with her. In the past, he wouldn't give a damn to anyone, but now he cared so much about her whether she was hungry or injured.

Thinking of this, he was silent for a moment before blurting, "Eat this, and I'll let you meet your brother."

Elaine who ignored him earlier suddenly got up, snatched the tray from his hand, and gobbled the food down like a greased lightning.

Vincent:

She had been starving for too long, and now that she finally ate something so delicious, she wolfed down the food in a hurry and choked after a few bites.

Grabbing her neck frantically with one hand, she tried to grab the glass of water with the other, her face as red as a tomato.

Instead of grabbing the glass, she touched his delicate hand and immediately withdrew her hand as if she was scalded.

With a snort, Vincent reassured, "Slow down. No one will take the food away from you."

As he said that, he handed over the glass to her.

She took it, drank a few mouthfuls of water, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, when she started eating again, she was obviously slower than earlier.

Vincent sensed that she was treating him like a stranger as she focused on eating and did not bat an eye on him.

On the contrary, he stared at her until she finished her meal, and then he looked away.

After she finished her meal, she broke out in a cold sweat.

The eyes behind her were too intense that it was hard for her to ignore them.

Finally, she put down the utensils and stared straight at him. "Okay, I'm done. Take me to my brother."

Without a word, Vincent suddenly extended his hand towards her. She was so shocked by his action that she shrieked frightfully.

"Hey!"

Upon hearing her cry, Vincent froze and his hand hung in the air.

Her body was trembling, and her eyes were full of fear as she looked at him.

Grimacing agitatedly, Vincent huffed, "What are you afraid of? There's something on the corner of your mouth and I want to wipe it away."

However, he did not expect that she would be so frightened as soon as he moved.

Was he that scary?

With a stiff body, Elaine shook her head repeatedly and relented, "l-l'm sorry. I didn't mean to."

"Tell me, what are you scared of?" Vincent was still annoyed and he wouldn't let her muddle through this.

Shivering, Elaine uttered with a shaky voice, "l-l'm not scared of anything! Mr. Bradbury, please take me to my brother, please!"

Vincent's eyes were as sharp as the ice blades that scared Elaine, but she could only look straight at him.

As he stared at her, Vincent suddenly realized something and asked, "Do you think that I'll kill

you?"

Upon hearing his remark, she froze, and then denied, "N-No..."

From her look, it was obvious that she had admitted it.

But she didn't admit it.

Only now did Vincent understand why she had been looking at him with wary eyes ever since she returned yesterday.

It turned out that she was afraid of him.

His silent glare brought goosebumps to her arms and her heart was thumping violently.

Finally, she suppressed the fear and stammered weakly, "M-Mr. Bradbury..."

Vincent didn't say anything, but he approached him. She subconsciously wanted to stay away from him, but when she thought of the unhappy look in his eyes, she finally stopped.

Standing in front of her, Vincent looked down and wiped away the smear on her face.

Elaine blushed timidly.

"It's too late today. I'll take you to meet him tomorrow."

With that, he took her by the wrist and said, "Sleep tight."

All of a sudden, she flung his hands away and hissed angrily, "Did you just lie to me?"

He said that he would take her to see Paul as long as she ate something, but now he told him to sleep! He didn't intend to let her see Paul at all!

"No, I'm not sleeping or doing anything until you take me to Paul!" she demanded as she stared straight into his deep eyes.
