At first, Alison wanted to irritate Drake and release her frustration by saying a few harsh words. But when she saw that the typical domineering Drake was now carefully and lovingly treating her, she felt a pang in her heart. She could not bring herself to be mean, As she reflected on today’s incident, she realized that what happened was a miscommunication that could be solved if they communicated with each other. However, neither wanted to give. They could have easily made up, yet they continued to hold a -grudge against each other. Alison suddenly felt extremely upset. As her anger intensified, she began to weep. A teardrop landed on Drake’s palm as he applied the medication to her arm. Upon seeing her tear–streaked face, he was taken aback. He feared he had been too hard and hurt her. “Does it hurt a lot? I promise to be more gentle. ” She felt terribly aggrieved and grumbled, “It hurts a lot! This is all your fault, you jerk! I was terrified of you this afternoon. ” Just as Drake was about to speak, she began to cry even louder. “I happened to run into Liam when I went to buy you lunch. He invited me for lunch and wanted to go for a walk, which I declined. Then, he even took advantage of my vulnerability and stroked my hand. “I rushed to the bathroom to wash my hands till they were practically red because I was so disgusted. When I eventually got the food and came to find you, you misunderstood me and assumed I was cheating and even wasted the fo Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates… od I bought for you. Do you realize how hurt I am by this?” Alison was running out of words to express her rage, so she pounded his chest with her fist and let out all the emotions that had been building inside of her. Drake pieced together the truth via her outburst. It turned out she indeed accidentally ran into Liam, who took advantage of her. But she rejected and was repulsed by him. Thus, what he saw was just an out–of–context scene. At the thought of this, he was still skeptical and asked, “Didn’t you want to marry Liam? Why are you disgusted by him?” Alison was utterly stunned by his question because she, too, couldn’t understand why she acted like this before. In the end, she grumbled, “Let’s just say I was blind before this. ” He scowled at her simple answer but didn’t inquire further as she seemed reluctant to discuss the matter. Since he was done attending to her wound, he stood up and stated calmly, “It’s done. ” She took a glance at it and felt that the pain had decreased but made no comment. While Drake handed the medical box to a maid, he glanced at Alison, who was still resting on the couch. He remembered the maid saying that she hadn’t gone downstairs since coming home in the afternoon. He couldn’t help but care about her. “Have you eaten?” She answered honestly, “No. ” “Let’s go and eat. ” Alison wondered how he could still think about eating after wasting all that food in the afternoon. Hence, she stubbornly said, “I don’t want to eat. I’m not hungry. ” As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach growled loudly. She became instantly embarrassed. “Are you really not hungry?” Drake asked again, finding it funny. Feeling irritated and ashamed, she rebutted, “I don’t need you to worry about me!” Upon hearing this, he was taken aback slightly. He then chuckled before saying self–deprecatingly, “You’re right. I shouldn’t worry about you. ” At that moment, Alison realized she had gone overboard. In her past life, she always told him that he had no right to worry about her. Drake would always get so enraged hearing this that he would leave and never care for her again. She instantly regretted her words and wanted to make amends, but it was too late. Drake had already turned to leave, having taken her words to heart. Act Fast Free Bonus Time is Running Out!
