Chapter 6

The atmosphere in the villa grew tense.

Elijah scanned the bottles of medicine that were arranged on the table. His eyes were several degrees colder. “So, Mrs. Moses did that for me. It is I who have misjudged Mrs. Moses.”

Sally was not an idiot. She understood the insult as clear as day from Elijah’s words and his eyes.

The man simply gave the butler standing next to him a gesture.

The butler jogged over hurriedly and removed all of the bottles.

Sally felt somewhat guilty. “You asked the butler to take all of them… It is because you don’t want to eat them?”

She thought he was unhappy.

The corner of Elijah’s lips curved upward in a smile that did not look like a smile. He said, “Eat first.”

His voice was low and piercingly low. Sally felt like the air surrounding them became cold.

It looked like he was truly angry.

Sally held her right hand in her left hand anxiously.

Considering how it was just the second day after they got married, was it inappropriate for her to get him medicine?

Did he think that Sally resented him because she got him medicine right after they got married?

Evonne’s words echoed inside Sally’s ears, that disabled people were especially sensitive.

Sally could not help but blame Evonne. That brat, if she knew that disabled people were fragile, why did she let Sally bring him medicine at this time!

Of course, Sally was at fault too. She should not have overlooked this.

“Eat.”

The man’s low voice spat out one word.

Sally picked up a pair of chopsticks instantly and started to eat obediently.

Sally was extremely stressed out and anxious throughout the entire meal.

After the meal, the butler approached her. “Madam, Mr. Moses’ grandfather just called. He invited Mr. Moses and you to go over for dinner tonight. The driver will pick you up after school. Please refrain from arranging other activities after school.”

“Got it!”

Sally smiled politely. “I have no plans at night anyway!”

Sally’s eyes curved into two crescent moons whenever she smiled. They were sincere and adorable. They made her look like a person who was unlikely to scheme.

After saying that, she picked up her bag and gave Elijah a big wave. “I’m leaving!”

The butler waited for the young girl’s figure to disappear from everyone’s line of sight before approaching Elijah from the back. “The medicine has been sent for inspection. The results will be out soon.”

He could not help to add, “Somehow, I don’t think Madam is a scheming person.”

Elijah stared indifferently in the general direction where Sally took off. “Investigate the doctor who invited her for lunch.”

The butler pressed his lips together and reminded Elijah. “The driver said Madam’s friend was the one who passed the medicine to her. I think Madam’s friend is more suspicious…”

His sentence was interrupted by a suffocating coldness that emanated from Elijah.

With an ambiguous smile playing around his lips, Elijah responded, “I want to investigate the person who asked my wife out for lunch. Is there a problem?”

“None… None, sir!”

…

As Sally walked out of her school after class, she saw the driver waiting for her at the main gate.

A Rolls-Royce was parked somewhere not so distant from the school gate.

Sally heard her heart skip a beat.

She dashed toward the driver and said, “Let’s go!”

If any of her classmates saw her going into a luxurious car, all sorts of rumors would fly around the school!

Yet, the more worried she was about the matter, the more likely it was to happen.

The moment when Sally got into the car, she clearly saw one of her classmates, Joan Lewis’ shocked face.

She was done for…

Sally fell into utter despair.

Joan Lewis could be compared to a megaphone speaker in school. The whole school would know what she knew in less than a day.

“Sit tight.”

As Sally nearly slammed her head thinking about ways to salvage the situation, a man’s throaty voice came from her back.

She froze and turned around.

The man with a black ribbon around his eyes sat in the backseat of the car with a face as cold as a glacier.

She was shocked. “Why are you here?”

The plan was for the driver to pick her up so that they could join Grandpa Moses for dinner, right?

“Was passing by.”

The man leaned against the leather seat as he casually spat out the three words.

It felt like he was not keen on talking to her.

She guessed that he had not gotten over the anger he felt in the afternoon…

Sally looked out the window dejectedly.

After the car departed for a while, she noticed something was wrong.

The car… was not heading in the direction of Grandpa Moses’ house. Were they… heading home?

She furrowed her brows. “Aren’t we heading to Grandpa’s place?”

There was disdain in the voice belonging to the man at Sally’s side. “You plan to wear this?”

At that moment, Sally realized that she wore her jeans that faded from overwashing and a white T-shirt with ‘We fairies have no conscience’ in black print.

Uh…

It did not seem like she was dressed appropriately for the occasion.

Yet… “How do you know what I’m wearing?”

He was blind, was he not?

The man responded with a cold tsk. “I have no comments on your taste.”

Sally was rendered speechless. “...”

No matter how patient she was, Sally would be unhappy if he insulted her one after the other!

Hence, Sally rolled her eyes at him.

When it occurred to her that he would not be able to see it, she rolled her eyes a few more times.

After that emotional outlet, Sally pursed her lips and continued looking out the window. “If you want me to get changed, you could’ve waited for me at home, right? Why tag along?”

Going out should be a rather inconvenient task for a person who was blind, should it not?

Elijah let out a cold laugh and called out to the driver indifferently, “Ol’ Joe.”

Soon, the partition in the middle of the car descended. The interior of the car was now divided into two closed spaces.

In an elegant motion, Elijah handed Sally a document. “Read it.”

Sally did not understand the purpose, but she opened it up anyway.

It was a lab inspection report.

The items of inspection were a few bottles of unlabeled drugs.

Unlabelled drugs?

The same ones that Evonne gave Sally at noon?

She was dumbstruck. He went so far as to send the medicine she gave him for lab inspection?

After a short ponder, she reasoned that it was not wrong of him to do so.

He had a weak constitution, after all. He probably could not take any form of drugs as he wished.

It would be problematic if he had an allergy.

Only the rich would be so thorough!

As her thoughts ran wild, her gaze skipped to the result of the inspection.

“Eh...”

The words printed on the inspection result baffled Sally greatly.

‘Test results indicate the drug is meant to treat diseases related to the male reproductive system, targeting erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.’

“...” Sally was speechless.

What was happening?

With a shudder of her hand, the document fell directly onto the carpet with a flap.

The man’s husky voice was tinged with a sense of danger. “So, Mrs. Moses takes me as a man who’s incapable in that aspect?”

“I don’t… I’m not… I…”

Sally was so flustered that she could not utter a complete sentence.

When Evonne passed her the medicine, she told Sally those were meant for his eyes!

Considering how close she was to Evonne, it never occurred to her that Evonne would troll her!

If she knew what the medicine was for, she would not have given them to Elijah even if her life depended on it!

The man with a black ribbon over his eyes extended his long arm, lifted her, and placed her on his thighs.

The man emanated a dangerous but sexy aura.

Mush to her dismay, Sally blushed. “I…”

“It seems like Mrs. Moses is rather dissatisfied with what happened on our wedding night yesterday.”

His gigantic hand clasped onto Sally’s jaw. His thin lips slowly parting to form words. “On her second day after marriage, Mrs. Moses went to the hospital personally to prepare these for me. How thoughtful of you.”

The black silk ribbon tied around his eyes only made him seem sexier and alluring.

With her jaw locked in his grasp, her eyes darted away involuntarily to avoid eye contact. “I… I don’t know that the medicine is meant for this!”

“I thought they were meant for…”

“Umph…”
