Chapter 286 – [Bonus Chapter] Taking Advantage!

"Did you like the food so much that i cooked for you, my lord that you finished all of it so early?"

"……"

"Mmm, it was tasty, from today onwards only you will cook the meal for me!" 

"…….." that was not the reply she was expecting from him! She looked at the man with widened eyes and then her eyes narrowed as she looked at him closely. She was even scanning the small details over his face that he rolled his eyes.

"No! I am not a twin or a copy of myself!" he snorted and she pursued her lips. Then how could it be possible that a person changed so much!

He had always been a scrooge who had asked for labor but never paid the reward he had promised! And the way he used to look at her, it was akin to you better do what i say or you would die!

But now! Now he was behaving like a docile husband who would say yes to anything that his wife would say! That did not suit his personality at all.

"Do not put so much pressure on that tiny brain of yours. We still have a lot of pending work to do. Finish your meal while I start working on the files!" he was about to flick her forehead again but she covered it before he could even raise his head and nodded,

"Yes, yes! I am done too!" she stood up and created the distance between both as a devilish smirk formed on his lips. 

He looked at her like a wolf looking at his prey! With a desire to devour her.

She felt like it had suddenly become risky to stay with him under the single roof. She wished that they would have been near his training area. The knights there were very welcoming towards her and she could spend time with them.

Here, she could not even ask for help from anyone. She chose the farthest corner from him and sat down like a curled ball while holding the file in her hands. She did not even dare to raise her head, afraid that she would find him staring at her and the moment would be further awkward.

Leo could read all her thoughts easily. Her every expression was telling of the turmoil of her heart. He had thought that he had assured her that she would never be ill treated in the palace. But it seems like he was wrong!

It must be due to the continuous events with Olivia and then his aunt! He would go and personally talk to all of them to give her the assurance she desired.

He would not rush her until she came to him by her own wish! But that did not mean that he would not lure her to him. An evil smirk formed on his lips when the thought crossed his mind.

'You are too strong! That was why the girls could fawn on you but you will never get their emotions and protective side! Try to look vulnerable and see how the girl would not leave your side!' though he was acting like he was not paying any attention to Aiden when he was babbling nonsense! He had heard all the suggestions carefully and noted it down in his mind.

He remembered how she had emphasized that she would take care of him when he was injured even when he did not feel any pain and scanned the wound on his thigh that had almost been recovered.

He put his whole body pressure on the injured part and even added a few files to it but nothing happened. He frowned as he looked at the strange cloth that was still not red.

He picked up the vase and added it too but it still did not work and he sighed! He was about to give up when his eyes fell on the red ink he was using for the seal and his eyes gleamed!

He gave a quick glimpse to the girl who was still working on the file with a serious face. There was a frown on her lips as she was jotting a few points down on the parchment she was holding.

Keeping an eye on her, he picked up the bottle of ink and spread a bit of it over the cloth and then winced.

"Owww!" 

Evan who was about to write the last part of the report and close the file looked above when she heard the painful grimace! There was a painful frown on the face of Leo and his hands were on his thigh.

She stood up and walked towards him with eyes full of worry but her eyes widened when she noticed that his thigh was once again red! The blood was so much as if he had got another wound!

It was staining the whole paint red again.

"How did this happen! Wasn't the blood flow stopped before?" she asked with a frown as she took quick steps towards him and crouched on the floor.

"Hmmm" a strange smell started to fill her nostrils and she leaned in to sniff his pants when he jerked her away abruptly.

He covered the area she was about to sniff with his hands hastily as if he was hiding something.

"What are you doing? Did you forget that you have not said yes and we are still not in a relationship?" 

"….." Before she could open her mouth and ask what was wrong with him, his shocked voice filled the room and her words died down in her throat!

"I would not bear that you continue to take advantage of me in the name of taking care of me! You have to be sure about us before you take a step further or what would I say to my future wife?"

"……….."
