Chapter 203

Juliette’s heart skipped a beat at his words. Where did Patrick learn to talk like that she wondered

But when she looked into his face, she realized that he wasn’t going to do anything

His expression was serious, a stark contrast to his words. She stifled a laugh and asked, “What are you waiting for? Don’t you

know how?

Patrick pressed his lips together, then leaned in carefully, his face brushing against Juliette’s. He moved with such tender

caution

Juliette suddenly remembered the countless times Patrick had gently cared for her in the hospital undressing and cleaning

her every day.

But he was so focused on the task that he never let his hands stray. He treated her like a goddess someone too sacred to be disrespected.

Looking back, she was surprised at how cautious he had been. When Jubette wrapped her arms around Patrick’s neck, she felt his body hovering above her. He was afraid of hurting her.

“It’s okay if you’re all over me. The doctor let me out of the hospital which means I’m all good” she said.

Patrick’s voice was hoarse, and Juliette couldn’t see his eyes were red with emotion

“But I always feel like you need more time to recover, he mumbled.

Time seemed to stand still from the moment he hurt her. He couldn’t move on feeling as if she never truly healed.

Juliette cupped his face and made him look at her. “Nope, that’s not true. Thanks to you taking care of me day and night, I’ve recovered better than anyone else. We can test it out with a French kiss”

Patrick was stunned as Juliette made the first move, kissing him and slipping her tongue into his mouth.

His mind went blank, and he was turned on

On the verge of losing control, he grabbed her hand and said. “No

Then he rolled over and rushed to the bathroom for a cold shower Juliette was lying on the bed, cooling off. It was too hot.

The sound of water came from the bathroom. We were so close, and yet he managed to take a cold shower? she thought, looking all puzzled

When Patrick came back, she was lying on her side with her back to him, ignoring him

Patrick looked at her back, thinking she was asleep. He drew close and gently covered her with a thin blanket. Knowing she couldn’t stand the heat, he always made sure to keep her comfortable this way.

After all the excitement and the sudden cooldown, he was wide awake. Remembering the mountain of work waiting for him, he decided to go to the study.

Juliette knew he wasn’t planning to nap with her. Is he doing this on purpose? she wondered.

She threw off the blanket and stayed lying on her side. Patrick assumed she was feeling hot.

He covered her again, but this time pulled the blanket down a bit.

He waned five seconds. Seeing that Juliette didn’t throw it off again, he turned to leave.

be reached the door, Juliette did it again, this time flinging the blanket right off the bed.

He had to walk around to the other side of the bed to pick it up.

Patrick wiched, thinking maybe she was missing her bed and blanket.

He bent down to pick up the blanket, but as he stood up, he was met with Juliette’s wide–open eyes. She wasn’t asleep at all.

He was stunned, his breath caught in his throat. He stood up and whispered, “I thought you were asleep

“So?” Juliette sat up with her legs crossed. “So you’re going to another room?”

I’ve got a ton of work piled up, and I need to tackle it.”

Jube felt a be angry. This was her first time at the Clarke mansion, and she thought Patrick should be by her side.

Patrick went for a cold shower after she said she had healed. That was already hurtful enough.

Patrick went for a cold shower after she said she had healed. That alone was hurtful enough.

Don’t you think you should stay while I take a nap?” she asked.

Juliette was startled by the question herself. Have I become too dependent on Patrick? Am I being needy? she wondered.

She wasn’t like this before. Even when she was dating Finn, she was always gentle and dignified, never behaving like this.

Reflecting on this, Juliette tried to dial back this unfamiliar side of her. “Go ahead and get your work done. Don’t overdo it.

I just catch some sleep.”

But her words only made Patrick more convinced that she was mad.

He immediately sat down beside her. “No, I’ll stay here with you. I’ll lie down with you. If I can’t sleep, I’ll watch over you.”

“Work’s important. There are so many employees at Clarke Group who need their–paychecks. Just go to the study, Juliette said sincerely

To show her determination, she turned away from him again. But to Patrick, it sounded like she was furious.

He blurted out, “You’re more important to me than anything else.”

“Huh? How could chilling with me be more important than work?” Juliette asked, genuinely.

“It’s not like I’m in a life–or–death situation, I don’t need you around all the time. But work’s really important. If you don’t get it done, the company will tank, and people will lose their jobs. I get it, work comes first.”

Juliette’s tone was calm, and she felt she was being very rational. Having someone just lie next to her wasn’t the same as actually getting the rest she needed.

Besides, she was a grown–up and perfectly capable of taking care of herself. Juliette really meant what she said.

Patrick pressed his lips into a thin line, watching her silently. To him, Juliette’s words showed she was at the peak of her anger, just trying to push him away.
