Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 757

"How dare you!"

Howard smirked, then grabbed Elaine's hand and tossed her onto the couch. He pulled on his necktie as he leaned on him, holding her face when she was staring at him in disbelief and kissing her.

The moment he kissed her, Howard felt as if he was electrocuted, and a numbing sensation spread throughout his entire body.

He didn't expect her lips to be so soft.

He didn't expect her breath to be so sweet.

All the sensations he received from her gave him a thrill of desire.

His initial plan was to kiss her lightly only to scare her a little, but to his surprise, he did not feel like letting her go.

Shocked by the abrupt kiss, Elaine was in a daze as her mind suddenly became blank.

It wasn't until she felt pain on her lips that she instantly came to her senses. Everything that happened last night flooded her mind. She remembered Sharon and Ariah told her to defend herself whenever someone forced her to do something against her will.

Unlike last night when she could only cry, she began to resist.

Frantically, she began to swing her arms at Howard, hitting him and struggling her way out with all her might.

While she was struggling, she slapped Howard's face.

The crisp and loud slapping sound echoed the room.

With that, Howard went stiff and stopped moving. There was shock and astound in his eyes as he let go of her and looked at her in disbelief.

Instantly, her face turned red. She bit her lip and kicked him away.

Her kick was so precise that Howard fell from the sofa to the floor.

Without looking at him, she climbed up and ran, as if she was avoiding some fierce beasts.

Howard sat on the ground in a daze and didn't have the time to react. It wasn't until Elaine was about to run out of the room that he rushed over and caught her back.

"Let me go!"

Elaine flung her limbs frantically to beat him.

Agitated, Howard stared at her and wondered if this was the same pure and innocent girl that he knew.

She had suddenly turned into a shrew!

While they were fighting, they accidentally kicked the table that the table fell directly to the floor with a loud bang.

This sound made Howard calm down for a moment, and he rebuked with a cold face, "Stop!" Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

In spite of that, Elaine was still hitting him as if she couldn't hear anything he said.

Infuriated, Howard grabbed her viciously, "I tell you to stop! Elaine, if you go on like this, I may really force myself on you! I mean it!"

After all, Howard was a man. He wasn't drunk nor was he handicapped. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been able to slap him so hard.

She was no match to his strength if he was really pissed off.

The cold and stern roar frightened Elaine so much that she huddled up on the sofa and stared at him timidly with tears in her eyes.

Howard sneered, "Why do you cry? Did I hit you?"

He was the one who was getting beaten up!

He should be the one crying!

Growing up, Howard was adored and pampered by his family that he never received any ill- treatment by anyone, not even a scold.

Her slap had truly infuriated him.

Looking coldly at Elaine whom he pressed against the sofa, Howard gnashed his teeth and thought about what to do to her regarding her slap.

Yet, before he could think of a way to teach her a lesson, she started to cry and the tears fell down from her eyes like running tap water.

Howard stared at her in disbelief. He hadn't done anything yet. What the hell was she crying for!

On the other hand, Elaine was sobbing quietly. She cried differently from others since young. She could only shed tears silently without a sound whenever she felt sorrowful.

If he hadn't seen her shed tears with his own eyes, she didn't look like she was crying at all.

Howard's brows gradually furrowed. "Stop crying. I won't hit you."

He admitted defeat and considered himself unlucky to be slapped by her.

At this moment, she shrunk onto the sofa and didn't dare to move, neither did she dare to push him, as if she was afraid that he would get angry. She moved her lips and said something weakly.

"What did you say?"

Howard couldn't hear her clearly. He bent down and wanted to hear what she said clearly, but as soon as he leaned closer, he could clearly feel that her body went stiff.

Taking a deep breath, Howard stepped away from her. "Okay, I won't touch you. What did you say? I can't hear you."

Her mouth moved, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's.

"Speak louder!"

"Don't touch me," she finally talked louder, sounding a little hoarse and shaky. "I don't like the way you treat me, so please don't do this to me. It was my fault for what happened last night. I promised you that I wouldn't tell anyone, but I still spilled them to Sharon and Ariah. Anyway, I promise you that I won't mention anything about tonight. Can you please let me go..."

Shocked and astounded, Howard didn't know that he was such a person in her eyes.

Her tone and tone made it sound as if he was a despicable guy.

At this moment, Howard was utterly upset. Couldn't she see that he had feelings for her?

If he didn't like her, he wouldn't even bat an eye on her.

Letting go of his hand that was grabbing her arm, he got down from her and sat quietly by the sofa.

After a long while, he said hoarsely, "Okay, I won't touch you."

After a moment of hesitation, she glanced at him and felt a little relieved as it didn't seem like he was lying.

Howard gave a wry smile and said, "Tidy up your clothes."

Lowering her head in confusion, she turned red when she saw her clothes. She looked haggard after the series of struggles and fights.

Thus, she quickly tidied herself up.

Suddenly, Howard thought of what she had just said and scratched his hair in annoyance. "What do you mean by what happened last night? Did something happen to us last night?"

He wasn't at home last night. He stayed at the hospital all night and didn't go home until dawn. When he got up, he found that she looked at him strangely, ignored him, and even skipped making breakfast for him.

At that time, he thought that she was getting more and more unruly.

But now, after pondering what she had just said and thought of what had happened this morning, he concluded that he must have pissed her off somehow last night, and that was why she ignored him.

Silently, she lowered her gaze and mumbled, "Nothing happened last night. I won't tell anyone about what happened last night. Don't worry."
