Chapter 694 Pampering and Favoritism
Lincoln nodded
“Then why didn’t you come find me earlier, tell me earlier that the one who saved me was you? That way I wouldn’t have… made a mistake. I wouldn’t have married your nephew…”
“It’s all my fault. I came too late,” he sincerely admitted, lowering his head without any reservations in front of Zayla. This pampering and favoritism were enough to make her fearless and unrestrained.
Zayla heard it but shook her head again. “No, it wasn’t too late, just a little late…” He narrowed his eyes, smile deepening. “Whatever you say.”
“You said it!” Zayla poked his nose. “A gentleman’s word is his bond. Mr. Nash, You have to keep your word.” “Tell me then.” Zayla thought for a moment. “I want you to hold me while we sleep.”
“Am I not already holding you?” He was slightly puzzled. She giggled playfully. “I haven’t finished yet.
“When I said that, I meant forever, not just for this short while.” He chuckled, his dark and intense gaze now replaced by indulgence and warmth. Whispering softly in Zayla’s ear, he said,
“I’ll do as you say.“So, shall we go to sleep?” She immediately turned over and lay beside him, obedient and proper.
Lincoln looked at her, not rushing to rest. Instead, he intentionally spoke up… “It’s platonic this time, but not next time.” After speaking, Lincoln dropped a kiss on her lips and closed his eyes.
Zayla felt her face grow hot. She secretly opened her eyes, turning to look at him. Taking a deep breath, she moved closer and closer to his ear little by little.
“Okay, Lincoln.” Lincoln’s brows knitted, and he suddenly opened his eyes, gazing into hers. Zayla actively kissed his lips. “Why are you looking at me like that?” “Seriously?”NôvelDrama.Org content.
“You had chances but insisted on being a gentleman. If I don’t respond soon, who knows when you’ll make a move…”
Her cheeks turned red, and as soon as she finished speaking, she quickly turned her head away. Lincoln laughed and pulled her into his embrace. “Since sugar mommy said it, her gigolo can only obey.” In the end, Zayla was embraced by him.
The tiny distance between them completely disappeared. In Lincoln’s arms, she slept soundly. Soon, she entered a deep slumber… “Lincoln…” Her occasional murmurs caused Lincoln to open his eyes time and time again. Each time, he patiently responded.
“I’m here.”
Stephen arrived at the hospital with food prepared from the hotel. But he didn’t see Zayla in the ward. Just as he was about to ask the nurse, he noticed a sign on the table. It clearly stated: [The patient is in Ward 06 with her husband.]
Upon reading these words, Stephen set down the thermal box and walked towards Ward 06. He stood at the doorway, peering inside through the small glass pane.
Zayla was sleeping in Lincoln’s embrace, peaceful and beautiful. Stephen quickly turned away, feeling a pang in his chest. But wasn’t this what he wanted to see?
As long as Zayla was happy and well, he could do anything. Stephen looked at his hands. They had been disinfected. From unlocking to undoing the chains,
Lincoln had done most of it alone. Even when Stephen helped, Lincoln pushed him away as much as possible. Stephen knew Lincoln’s impression of him was mediocre.
