Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 845

Save him?

How could she save him?

How could she save a man who had his hands stained with blood since a young age and has no feelings?

She couldn't.

His world was hopeless.

Feeling that Morgan was trying to make things hard for her, she kindly declined, "Morgan, I'm afraid that I can't do anything about your request..."

"How would you know if you didn't even try?" Morgan smiled hopefully.

"I don't need to try. I just know I can't."

Why would someone like Vincent listen to her?

Giving her a thoughtful look, Morgan spoke again, "Miss Jacob, after all these years I've been by Mr. Bradbury's side, you are the first and only person who made him give up on everything and follow you to this small city."

Pursing her lips, she asked, "Didn't he come here because I escaped from his villa that day?"

"Do you really think that's the case?" NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Hearing that, Elaine was a little puzzled.

Not giving up, Morgan tried again, "Let's just give it a try. If you succeed, I promise that you'll be able to leave his sight."

"Really?" she asked with twinkling eyes.

"Of course!" Morgan promised.

Feeling hopeful, she thought that this might be the best way for her to get away from Vincent.

"Morgan, what should I do so that you can help me escape from him?"

"Well..." he pondered for a moment before suggesting, "As long as you can change his mind so that he can control himself from killing people in the future, I will help you. What do you say?"

That was too difficult...

To Vincent, killing was probably as normal as eating and drinking. How could he change his mind overnight?

It wouldn't be easy to change a person's habits and thoughts...

Upon hearing his condition, Elaine hesitated.

Morgan then tried to encourage her, "Let's just try, shall we? What if you succeed? If you don't try, you won't even stand a chance."

Elaine pondered for a moment.

Those words made sense.

Nodding her head, she accepted the challenge, "In that case, I'll give it a try..."

If it didn't work out, she could always run away!

Heaving a sigh of relief, Morgan exclaimed, "Great! Shall we go back now?"

Staying at her spot, Elaine demanded, "I have one more request."

"What is it?"

"I want to stay alone in a room."

"Well..." Morgan was a little flustered. "Miss Jacob, why don't you make do with it? With you by his side, Mr. Bradbury will be able to sleep well. If he doesn't sleep well, he gets irritated. That won't do you any good, Miss Jacob."

Frowning, she retorted, "If I don't get to stay alone in a room, I won't go back to the hotel."

Leaving him with no choice, Morgan muttered, "...Okay, I'll talk to him."

Only then she was willing to follow him.

In the hotel room.

After a shower, Vincent came out and watched some TV to pass the time while he waited.

However, Elaine still wasn't back.

How long has it been since she left? Why wasn't she back yet?

Though he knew that nothing would happen to her when she was outside, he still felt a little worried.

In the end, he got up and walked towards the window. After opening it, he checked the outside.

Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Instinctively, Vincent went to open the door with a cold face.

When the door opened, Elaine and Morgan appeared outside. With a smile, Morgan informed, "Mr. Bradbury, Miss Jacob is back."

Moving to the side, he said, "Come in."

After a moment of hesitation, Elaine entered the room.

Glancing at her in surprise, he intended to close the door, but before he could, Morgan stopped him then and cleared his throat, "Mr. Bradbury."

"Is there anything else?"

"Well, Miss Jacob said that she would stay in the hotel, but she wants a room to herself, so I was thinking..."

Hearing that, Vincent shut the door without a word.

Standing outside, Morgan was speechless.

Well, guess it was impossible to convince him.

He kept his promise, but there was nothing he could do if his request was declined!

Watching Vincent close the door, she thought he had agreed to her request, so she asked, "Is Morgan preparing an extra room?"

Walking towards her instead of answering her question, Vincent questioned, "Where have you been and what have you been up to for so long?"

"...I took a stroll outside."

"Did you have fun?"

"Yeah, I guess... There is a square nearby..." Glancing at the door, Elaine asked again, "Is

Morgan preparing the extra room for me?"

"No."

"What?!" Elaine widened her eyes in shock. "He said that he would give me a separate room!"

"He was the one who promised you, but I have the final say."

"How could you..."

As anger welled up her chest, she wanted to leave the room immediately. However, when she thought of Morgan's words, Elaine held back.

Taking a deep breath, she tried to persuade him in a gentle voice, "Isn't it a little inappropriate for a single man and woman to stay in a room together? Why can't you just have Morgan prepare another room? I wouldn't mind if it's just next door. I won't run away, I promise."

With an expressionless face, Vincent asked, "Do you think I'm willing to waste money to book another room?"

What? It didn't even cost much for an extra room!

So, he'd rather spend millions to hire gang members to mess with her parents, but he wasn't willing to pay a cent for an extra room?!

Fuming with anger, Elaine paced up and down the room. "If you're not going to get me a room, I'll do it myself!"

"Sure, go ahead. It's the same thing if I come over."

She totally did not expect him to say that.

At that moment, she was too furious to say a word.

He sure was pretty thick-skinned.

Closing her eyes and opening them again, she calmed down, "Okay then. You can take the bed. I'll sleep on the couch."

Though she didn't want to stay in a room with him, Elaine wouldn't take advantage of the situation. He was the one who paid for the hotel room, so it was only fair if she took the couch instead of the bed.

She would have to squeeze on the tiny couch for the night.

Glancing at her, Vincent picked up a set of clothes and handed it to her, "Go take a shower and freshen up."

After getting pushed into the bathroom, she realized there was gum stuck on her pants when she was changing. It was disgusting!

After taking a shower, she found out that there was only a nightgown to be changed into, without a bra.

Frowning, she had no choice but to put on her used bra.

Looking at her dirty pants, she decided to wash it.

The water tap in the bathroom sounded like it was turned on and off repeatedly. It had been almost 30 minutes. What was she doing inside?

Why was she taking such a long time to bathe?

Using up his patience, Vincent got up and intended to knock on the door. Just then, the bathroom door opened.

When Elaine stepped out, she almost bumped straight onto him. Fortunately, she was quick to react and took a step back. "Do... do you need to use the bathroom?"

Lowering his eyes, he scanned her up and down. Her cheeks were a little flushed from the shower, and her neck was slender. Some baby hairs stuck on the corners of her mouth, and her moist red lips were glowing. With her lips pursed, he could see the sense of alert in her eyes.

In an unhappy tone, he asked, "What are you doing inside?"

"Well..." A little flustered by his question, she tried to block the door with her body. "No... nothing, I was just taking a bath..."

Stuttering, she felt anxious.

With a cold face, Vincent demanded, "Get out of the way!"

Biting her lips, she tried to explain, "I really wasn't doing anything else. If you want to use the bathroom, use the smaller one over there..."

Before he could finish his words, she was pushed aside.

Finally, Vincent saw what Elaine was doing in the bathroom.

In the bathroom sink, both of their clothes were dripping wet.

What an unexpected sight.

For a moment, Vincent was stunned, then he looked at her.

Being stared at, Elaine cleared her throat and said, "I was washing mine, and your clothes happen to be there, so I thought I'd wash it all at once! Don't think too much..."
