Chapter 59
Ophelia felt a sense of relief and smiled.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, in the moment when the bouquet was taken away, I was also yanked over by a strong force!
She was caught off guard and instantly fell into the man’s arms.
She raised her head in a hurry and bumped into the man’s aggressive eyes, and immediately goosebumps rose all over her body.
“Old, husband?” Her beautiful eyes widened slightly, like a helpless young creature locked onto by a dangerous beast.
Her instinct for danger made her subconsciously want to get up.
A strong and powerful arm wrapped around her slender waist, unresistably imprisoning her back
“I liked it very much.” The man held her face in his large hands, his gaze deep, and said it again.
In the next moment, before Ophelia could react, her chin was lifted, and then a hot, forceful, and irresistible kiss descended upon her!

Finally able to breathe freely, it had been a few minutes later.
Ophelia, who had been kissed senseless, lay softly in the man’s arms, her heart pounding like a drum, gasping for breath in a flustered state.

Winford raised her face.
I locked eyes with her.
“The words I told you could not be forgotten, otherwise there would be very serious consequences. Did you remember?”
“Ah…?” Ophelia looked somewhat dazed.
…was kissed silly.
It seemed that at any moment, one could utter “Abba Abba.”
“You said you liked me, loved me, and wanted to be with me. I took it seriously.” The man’s eyes were as dark as ink, and his tone was dangerous. “Lia, the words you said, if you dare to forget them-”
“I dared not forget, dared not forget!” Ophelia jolted awake in an instant, shaking her head without a second thought.
Winford was very satisfied with her answer.
He gently kissed the corner of her lips and said, “So good.”
Ophelia’s face turned red.
Although the previous moment had been more intense, this gentle kiss and these two brief words gave her a feeling that was even more intense than before.
The heart seemed as if it was about to jump out.
She quietly covered her chest and looked up at the handsome man, who resembled a god, her gaze unable to help but become infatuated for a
moment.
Ah, her husband was so handsome, sob sob…!
As she gazed at him with her sparkling eyes, Winford’s gaze suddenly darkened, and the hand that rested on her waist tightened.
Just as I was about to continue doing something, suddenly-
“Mr. Winford…”
Elva barged in without saying hello.
Seeing Ophelia being held in a man’s arms, in an extremely intimate posture, her expression changed slightly, and the look in her eyes seemed as if she wanted to tear Ophelia apart!
Disturbed, Winford looked displeased and said, “Who allowed you to come up here?”
Elva felt a bit wronged; in the past, the man had never spoken to her in such a tone…
She only thought about how Winford’s attitude had changed, but she never considered that it hadn’t changed at all; rather, before that, Winford had never really cared about her. That attitude was indifference, not tolerance.
“The previous medicine had cooled down, so I brought up a new one,” she said, holding the bowl of medicine in her hands.
Ophelia’s good mood was gone, she glanced at Elva and said, “With so many servants in Sunset Vista, do you really need to do the work?”
She could allow Elva to just move to the annex, but the condition was that Elva had to be sensible and not keep appearing in front of her.
Elva was unconvinced. Mr. Winford was still here, so could it be decided whether she could do her job just based on what Ophelia said?
“Mr. Winford…”

“Go down!” Winford said with authority, “Ask Bertha if there is anyone else at Sunset Vista who can do the job.”
Elva trembled and said, “Mr. Winford, was it not possible for me to bring you the medicine?”
“Of course not!” Ophelia nestled in the man’s arms, asserting her claim as she tightened her grip around his strong waist. “Sunset Vista didn’t lack for people to get things done. You weren’t a proper servant here, so what were you doing just hanging around every day? Was it really that difficult. to stay over in the annex?”
Did she not see what Elva was thinking?
Elva always considered herself to be of noble status, feeling that she was different from those servants, viewing herself as half a young lady of the Pruitt family. How could she possibly be willing to do the tasks that were meant for servants?
It was just a way to get closer to Winford!
Elva gritted her teeth and said, “I was asking Mr. Winford, not you!”
“The meaning of Lia was just my meaning.”
