Chapter 20 I Want To Touch You Too
تر
Josephine was sound asleep on the table, completely unaware of the gaze directed at her. She had spent the entire afternoon busy in the kitchen and waited all evening on an empty stomach, so she was utterly exhausted.
Feeling thirsty, she subconsciously licked her lips in her sleep.
Michael caught that action of hers.
The girl was sprawled across the table, eyes shut. Her raven–black hair cascaded down her shoulders, revealing a stretch of her slender, fair neck. Her delicate collarbone peeked through subtly, and her soft, rosy lips were slightly parted. She was licking her lips.
Michael’s dark eyes flickered, his gaze unreadable.
He wanted to give it another shot.
He extended his hand, reaching for Josephine’s face.
Her skin was soft and smooth, an exquisite sensation under his fingers. When his fingertips brushed her lips his throat felt dry.
His long fingers gently caressed Josephine’s face, sliding down her cheek to her neck. After a brief hesitation, his hand moved further, toward her delicate collarbone.
Michael was stunned beyond belief.
He wasn’t experiencing any symptoms.
Josephine seemed to be his antidote!
He could touch her and freely touch her body, but he wouldn’t have an attack!
The candlelight flickered in Michael’s pupils, his gaze growing intense. His Adam’s apple bobbed heavily as he felt a rising desire.
His breathing became hot as he fixated on the sleeping girl.
Once his suppressed desires found an outlet, they were like a floodgate that had been opened. He couldn’t control himself. Every cell in his body craved her.
Regardless of whether she would resist like she did yesterday, he was determined to have her tonight.
Michael didn’t want to wait any longer. He bent down, scooped Josephine into his arms, and strode upstairs.
Josephine stirred awake, raising her head in confusion.
“Mr. Jaywalker?”
She then realized she was cradled in Michael’s arms. His breath enveloped her defenselessly, his bloodshot eyes staring at her like a predator eyeing its prey, as if he wanted to devour her whole.

Seeing this action, Michael paused, suppressing his desires as he gave her a cold glance.
“You’re awake? Are you afraid of pain? If so, close your eyes later!”
He knew she was scared.

Josephine bit her lip. Of course she was awake. Her eyes were wide open.
Wait, what does he mean by “afraid of pain”
Josephine suddenly snapped out of it, her body jolting realization.
Ihat is he planning to do?
Michael also realized he was making unnecessary conversation. He said coldly. “In the future, don’t wait for me to eat.”
With that, he resumed heading upstairs with large strides.
Josephine struggled, protesting indignantly, “But I made so many dishes. I just wanted you to try them.”
Michael was slightly taken aback. He had noticed that some of the dishes looked different from usual, and now he understood. They were made by her.
The loud sound of her stomach growling broke the silence. Josephine shrank back awkwardly, forcing a sheepish smile.
That stomach growl couldn’t have been more perfectly timed.
Michael glanced at her, then turned around and carried her back downstairs to the dining room.
Even if he wanted her, he’d first have to make sure she was fed. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have the strength.
He pulled out a chair and sat down. Grabbing the utensils, he began eating with Josephine.
go reheat the dishes. Josephine was thrilled and quickly carried the plates to the kitchen.
As he watched her flit about like a little butterfly, Michael’s icy eyes, which had been suppressing his desire, softened slightly.
She was still so young and innocent. She had just turned nineteen today. If not for his illness, he wouldn’t have acted on his impulses tonight.
She’d probably cry later.
Josephine brought over a reheated bowl of pumpkin soup and placed it before Michael, then sat across the
table.
Although Michael liked her sister, everything Josephine was doing now was to thank him for the gifts he had given her.
Michael wasn’t hungry and only intended to take a few bites out of courtesy. However, the pumpkin soup was surprisingly delicious, with a faint medicinal fragrance that he couldn’t identify. It unexpectedly calmed the restlessness in his body. Before he realized, he had finished the entire bowl..

Josephine’s eyes curved into crescents as she quickly took the empty bowl away, wagging her finger at him.
“You can’t drink too much. I’ll make more for you tomorrow!“.
She had added medicinal herbs to the soup to soothe is emotions, but it could only be consumed once a
day.
Michael looked up at her, realizing she had anticipated his thoughts.
Through the flickering candlelight, Josephine beamed at him, her bright eyes sparkling like stars. For a moment, Michael questioned whether his wife was truly a fool.
Josephine also felt she had acted too “normal.” Afraid of being exposed, she quickly fled to the kitchen.
She had barely taken two steps when Michael’s cold voice rang out behind her.
“Stop!”
Josephine turned around nervously. Had he found out?
Michael tilted his head slightly, his voice stern. “What’s wrong with your foot?”
My foot?” Josephine followed his gaze and saw her right ankle, slightly swollen and bruised. She said quietly. “It’s from last night, when you pushed me…
She had fallen into the bathtub and sprained her ankle
At the time, she hadn’t noticed, but after returning from shopping today, the pain in her ankle had grown worse, and she realized it was swollen.
Before she could finish, a shadow loomed over her, blocking the light.
She took an uneasy step back. Is he going to lose his temper again?
Instead, Michael lifted her onto the dining table, pulled a chair over, and sat in front of her. He casually removed her slipper.
Josephine was stunned.
The next second, she snapped back to her senses and quickly tried to pull her foot away.
However, Michael’s large hand gripped her leg firmly. This isn’t the Sommer family. Don’t keep injuries to yourself anymore, understood?”
With that, he leaned slightly forward, placing his hand over her bruised ankle and gently massaging it.
Josephine’s mind went blank.
She wasn’t wearing socks, and her bare foot resting on his black suit pants looked even smaller and fairer in comparison.
Yet, having a man hold her foot like this left her utterly flustered Even her breathing was thrown into disarray. Hastily, she pushed him away.
“Mr lavwalker there’s no need for this. I’ll ask forvan far heln”

Michael paused, a trace of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
“You’re a girl. Don’t let just any man touch your body. Got it?“.
Josephine had only intended to ask Jorvan for some medicine, but Michael had completely misunderstood her.
She blurted out, “Then why were you touching me carer?”

Although she had been asleep earlier, she vaguely sensed someone touching her. When she went to the kitchen, she discovered that the buttons on the front of her dress had been undone, leaving her shocked
She never expected someone as cold and stoic as Michael to act that way toward her.
Michael hadn’t expected her to know. His gaze turned icy as he said, “You’re my wife. Only I can touch
you.”
His domineering explanation left Josephine unable to argue.
In her mind, she added another label to Michael: Possessive.
She raised her eyes and puffed her cheeks in indignation.
“That’s not fair. Then I want to touch you too!
