Marrying His Nemesis: Kicking My Scumbag Fiancé Away!-Chapter 44: What I Taught You Isn’t Called Kissing!

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: What I Taught You Isn’t Called Kissing!

Seraphina sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to sit down and eat with him.

Seeing Ethan Sterling put down his chopsticks, she immediately repacked the ice bucket and led him into the master bedroom.

Ethan cooperatively took off his shirt and lay face down on the bed.

Wrapping the ice cubes in a towel, Seraphina carefully applied the towel to his wound.

Compared to just now at the hospital, his injury was clearly more swollen.

The redness and swelling before had turned into a bluish-purple color, looking even more serious.

With one hand gently supporting his waist, Seraphina carefully moved the towel wrapped with ice cubes to a different spot.

When she touched the most painful area, Ethan’s waist visibly tensed.

Seraphina quickly removed the ice.

"Does it hurt?"

"A little."

"How about... I get you a painkiller?"

"No need!" Ethan adjusted his breathing and turned his face to her, "Just a kiss from you will do!"

Thinking he was pretending, Seraphina lightly patted his back with her hand.

"Lie down properly!"

Following the doctor’s instructions, she applied the ice for fifteen minutes, using a towel to wipe the moisture from his back. Seraphina carefully sprayed an anti-inflammatory and bruise healing mist on his injury.

After tidying up the towel and ice bucket, she saw Ethan trying to prop himself up.

She quickly came over to steady his shoulder.

"What are you doing? Didn’t the doctor say you should rest in bed?"

There was still a pile of work unfinished, and he really didn’t have time to just lie around.

"It’s boring lying here alone." Ethan shifted to a side-lying position, patted the pillow, teasing her on purpose, "Unless... my wife keeps me company!"

Seraphina turned around, pursing her lips.

Ethan chuckled inwardly, thinking she was leaving.

But unexpectedly...

Seraphina didn’t leave. Instead, she took off her sweater, back facing him, and removed the hair tie from her hair.

Wearing only a black base layer, she walked over, eyelashes lowered, and lay down beside him.

Extending her arm, she gently embraced his neck.

With her face reddened, her heart pounding with nerves, Seraphina bravely lifted her face and softly kissed his lips.

"Is this okay?"

He had done so much for her; this was the only thing she could do for him!

Ethan raised his left hand, brushing away the stray hair beside her forehead, his voice slightly husky.

"I taught you before, that’s not a kiss!"

He lowered his head, enveloping her lips.

Seraphina didn’t flinch, only closed her eyes, embracing his neck, parting her lips, allowing him indulgence, even trying to respond.

Such a response, albeit a bit clumsy and inexperienced, managed to make Ethan lose control.

His whole body pressed against her, his kisses growing heavier.

He pushed aside her clothing, their skin touching.

Exploring without hesitation, he ventured into areas on her body no one else had ever trespassed...

Seraphina panted, clinging tightly to him, her hands instinctively brushing across his back, accidentally grazing his wound.

Ethan let out a low groan, pulling back his hand.

Noticing his discomfort, Seraphina opened her eyes in worry.

"Did I touch your wound?"

"No!" Ethan lay on his side next to her, arm still around her, "It’s just some back pain."

"Do you want to go to the hospital again?"

"No need." Ethan tightened his arm, their skin touching, "My Mrs. Sterling is more effective than medicine."

Seraphina was so embarrassed, she buried her face in his neck, not daring to move.

After a while, she mustered the courage to ask the question she had been wanting to ask.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

Seraphina lifted her face, meeting his gaze.

"Why... risk your life to save me?"

Their marriage was for expanding his business in Galecrest, which she could understand.

Him being nice to her was probably just a playful whim, which she could also accept.

But...

The recent situation was different.

It was a situation that could have been fatal, was he willing to throw his life away for her?

This little fool!

Ethan raised his hand, pressing her head back to his chest.

"How could I let someone else ruin what’s mine before I’ve had a taste?!"

His tone was lazy and smiling, acting carefree.

"Who would’ve thought, those bastards... really dared to act!"

Seraphina didn’t speak again.

It seemed...

She had overthought it!

He wasn’t truly in love with her.

That’s good... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

When they part ways in the future, she won’t have a hard time.

Seraphina sighed in relief, but a strange emotion flashed across her heart.

The feeling passed quickly, and Seraphina didn’t dwell on it.

This hard-won opportunity with the orchestra, she couldn’t lose it.

She needed to think carefully about how to resolve this crisis.

...

...

Inside the apartment.

Felicity Shaw curled up on the sofa, watching the video uploaded by netizens on the screen, showing Seraphina’s car being smashed and her being chased and beaten, with a cold smile on her face.

"Seraphina, this is the price you pay for crossing me..."

That’s right!

The one who leaked the story to the reporters was her.

The door clicked softly, and seeing Adrian Chamberlain walk in, Felicity grabbed her phone and went to greet him.

She proactively helped him take off his coat, affectionately wrapping her arms around his waist to show goodwill.

"You’re back, I made some chicken soup, do you want to try it?"

Adrian glanced at her sidelong.

"Not causing trouble anymore?"

"It was my fault last time, don’t be mad, okay?" Felicity hooked her hand around his tie, "I also have a surprise for you, do you want to see it?"

Adrian chuckled softly and pinched her waist, "Did you buy another new nightgown?"

"No way!" Felicity lifted her phone, bringing it to his face, "Today... I took revenge for you!"

She raised her hand and pressed the play button on the video, and the video on the screen started playing immediately.

"She’s the daughter of the president of Zenith Group!"

"Catch her, don’t let her get away."

"Beat her to death..."

Watching the video on the screen, of Seraphina being chased and falling to the ground, Adrian’s brow furrowed tighter and tighter.

"Was it you who tipped off the reporters?"

The online news was spreading like wildfire, and Adrian had also gotten word.

"Of course, she’s in our orchestra now."

In the joy of her successful plot, Felicity was completely submerged in the satisfaction of revenge.

She didn’t notice the change in the man’s emotions at all.

"This time, I just gave her a little lesson, who told her to betray President Chamberlain, right? Adrian, since I’m helping you like this, about that bag I had my eye on last time... is it...

Seraphina publicly broke off the engagement and even hooked up with another man.

Felicity had ample reason to believe that Adrian must hate her to death, too.

Before she could finish, Adrian had already raised his hand to grip her neck and shoved her away.

Felicity was thrown, crashing onto the dining table.

The painstakingly brewed chicken soup was thrown down along with the pot, spilling everywhere.

Holding her bruised forehead, Felicity raised her face, seeing Adrian’s expression of madness fueled by rage.

"Who told you to touch her, who the hell told you to touch her?!"

He cursed angrily, charging over and viciously kicking her on.

"What the hell are you, what gives you the right to touch my Seraphina... die... just die..."

Screaming miserably, Felicity hugged her head, curling up on the floor.

The leather shoes struck her body again and again, and only then did she finally understand.

She was wrong!

Adrian didn’t hate, he truly loved Seraphina!

No wonder, he liked her playing innocent and weak in bed, liked seeing her play the violin in a white dress...

It was because, in those moments, she resembled Seraphina the most!

Seeing Adrian grabbing a chair, Felicity was scared out of her wits and hurriedly pleaded.

"Seraphina... Seraphina is fine, she... she was rescued."

Adrian stopped with the chair gripping, looking like he could explode at any moment.

"If you don’t believe me, watch the video..."

Felicity hurriedly grabbed her phone and pressed play again.

Adrian looked to the side at the phone, and the subsequent video was a bit chaotic, not clearly showing Ethan Sterling’s face.

However, Adrian could guess that the person who took Seraphina away was Ethan Sterling.

Adrian’s anger flared up again, kicking Felicity away fiercely, and he tore off his belt.

"Adrian!" Felicity cried and begged for mercy, "I beg you, I... I dare not anymore, I really don’t..."

Adrian ignored her, grabbed her hair, and threw her on the table.

Enduring the pain, Felicity supported herself with her arms from the table.

"You like Seraphina, don’t you?"

Hearing the name "Seraphina", Adrian’s hand holding her hair paused.

"What did you say?"

Felicity’s face, covered in blood and dirt, smiled ingratiatingly.

"I can help you... I can help you get Seraphina!"
