It's a good thing that heaven gave me a second chance at life. Staring at the handsome face so close to mine, I blushed and felt tears welling up in my eyes.
Evander Whitmore's face before his death had deeply scarred my heart. The pain still gnawed at me, making me wince.
A warm hand gently stroked my cheek, wiping away the tears at the corner of my eyes, little by little.
"Does your wound hurt again?"
The car accident wasn't severe, and I only had superficial injuries. Compared to the wounds I had in my past life, this was nothing.
I wasn't in pain anymore.
I didn't want Evander to know about my rebirth.
I nodded, greedily savoring the warmth of Evander's touch.
"It hurts, it hurts so much. Only a kiss will make it better."
"You're spoiled."
Evander licked his lips, his dark pupils sparkling.
"Just a kiss, will that be enough?"
Before I could respond, my head was held gently, and a kiss descended upon me forcefully, as if trying to crush me entirely.
I was kissed breathless.
Just then, the phone rang at the most inopportune time—it was from Leopold Kensington.
I didn't want to pick up. But Leopold seemed relentless, as if he wouldn't stop calling. Annoyed, I almost hung up, but I accidentally pressed the answer button.
"Larissa, I've thought about it. You should go back home and stay. It's better with the nanny taking care of you."
"Hmm…"
A soft grunt escaped my lips. Leopold had gone mad.
"Larissa, what are you doing? Answer me!"
"Don't be distracted."
I couldn't reply, as my hand was being held and the call ended with a press of Evander's fingers. Half an hour later, I still couldn't pull myself away from him.
The sound of a door being slammed, followed by curses, came from outside.
"Evander, who allowed you to touch her???"
