Chapter 4 Too Exhausted Last Night

• Yvonne was in deep sleep when she heard a continuous knock at the door the next morning.
• Annoyed, she tried to cut herself off from the noises by burying her head into the arms of the soft ‘body pillow’ next to her.
• The knock at the door stopped after a little while, but the noise in the room grew louder.
• Yvonne sat up with her head drooping. Getting up on the wrong side of the bed, she mumbled angrily, “I’m on leave! I’m not taking on any more projects!”
• Then, she slowly opened her eyes with great difficulty and was surprised to see a bunch of strangers before her.
• They were looking at her like she was a pervert; Mr. Statham, the Kingston Family’s butler who was leading them, looked like he wished he could kill her with the look in his eyes.
• Yvonne was speechless. Did she do something outrageous?
• While in a state of stupefaction, she vaguely sensed that something was wrong with what her hand was touching…
• She lowered her head to take a look at her hand and was stunned to see it resting on a man’s chest. Not only that, the man’s upper body was naked as well!
• Flustered, she instantly kept a distance from the half-naked man as if she had just touched something burning hot. “Why is this guy underneath my hand?”
• Mr. Statham gave the hideous Yvonne a long stare. Suppressing the indignation within him, he kept a straight face and stated the facts curtly, “Miss Page, Young Master Henry can’t move his limbs. Please don’t strip off the Young Master’s clothes in the future, or it’ll be bad if he catches a cold.”
• Yvonne looked appalled upon listening to his words.
• Henry was a vegetable—why were his pajamas stripped off for no reason? It seemed like nobody else in the room but Yvonne would be able to pull off such a perverse thing.
• Did she momentarily lose control of her inner lust and made sexual advances on a vegetable after sleeping in the bed last night?
• In an instant, Yvonne understood why these people were looking at her like she was a pervert. It was indeed despicable of her to lay her hands on a person in a vegetative state!
• Feeling terribly ashamed, she jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom with her face buried in her hands.
• After she had gone out of the room, a servant behind Mr. Statham said with a look of disgust, “In any case, the Young Master is the eldest grandson of the Kingston Family. Wouldn’t making him marry such a person be an insult to him? Those people have gone too far!”
• Mr. Statham’s heart was filled with indignation as well. Who dared to insult Young Master Henry like this before the accident?
• Suppressing his emotions, he shot a glance at the speaking servant with a stern look on his face. “Shut up!” he bellowed.
• The servant reluctantly hung her head and shut her mouth.
• …
• Yvonne entered the bathroom and was too ashamed to show her face.
• When did she become so horny to the point of taking off a man’s pajamas?
• Depressed, she patted her already-swollen face and brainwashed herself in an act of self-comfort. She said, “My face is swollen anyway, so it doesn’t matter if I lose face or not. I’ll just assume that nothing has happened! I’ll be a well-behaved and decent lady again after going out of the bathroom!”
• As she comforted herself, her eyes fell upon her knotted shirt and pants. A look of bemusement spread across her face as she said, “I didn’t knot my clothes last night, did I?”
• Why would her shirt and pants be knotted tightly right now?
• However, she was the only person in the room who could move; who else could have knotted her clothes? It couldn’t have been the vegetable who did it!
• Yvonne rubbed her aching neck as she muttered, “I must have been too exhausted last night; I can’t remember anything I did at all.”
• Getting married was so exhausting. She felt so tired as if her body had been crushed by the weight of someone else. Also, her neck was so painful as if she had been seized by the throat!
