Chapter 25 The Wildcat and Leech


    Chapter 25 The Wildcat and Leech


    The storm was raging strong, and the howling winds rattled the windows.


    The neighborhood roads were closed, and the weather station issued repeated warnings. Thus,


    Edmond and Alicia were stuck in their apartment, unable to go anywhere.


    Alicia''s condo apartment had only one bedroom.


    Although her fever had gone down, her body was still very weak.


    Edmond had not caught a wink sincest night, and after making sure Alicia''s fever had gone down,


    he was exhausted. Hey down on the bed,pletely ignoring Alicia''s protesting.


    "Fine. Edmond Agos, you can sleep here as you please, but don''t you dare to touch me." Alicia


    warned.


    Edmond wrapped his hands around Alicia as he embraced her from behind. He buried his face in


    the nest of her neck and said hoarsely, "Shh, stop talking."


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    His hot breath exhaled onto Alicia''s corbone, sending a tingling sensation throughout her body


    before she stiffened up.


    At first, Alicia nned to make Edmond sleep on the living room sofa.


    However, when she heard his smooth rhythmic breathing, she could not bear to chase him out to


    the living room, so Alicia let Edmond hug her to sleep.


    The scent that belonged to him lingered around her nose.


    Alicia was very ufortable as, after all, they were a fake married couple. They had never been


    so intimated before.


    However, she had to admit that the hug from Edmond was veryfortable, as he had a broad and


    muscr torso that was enough to provide her with warmth and security.


    After a while, Alicia also drifted off to her dream.


    Around 2 a.m., the phone rang.


    Alicia was annoyed and whacked Edmond before ordering, "Hey! Go and pick up your phone. It''s so


    noisy."


    Edmond nuzzled his head against her shoulder and went back to sleep,pletely ignoring her.


    "Ring..." The phone continued ringing.


    After three consecutive calls, Alicia was irritated and awakened by the annoying calls. She huffed


    angrily and took away Edmond''s phone to pick up the calls.


    Her voice was extremely annoyed as she answered the call, "Who is it? Why do you have to call so


    many times in the middle of the night? Are you not letting other people sleep?"


    There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.


    Alicia looked down at the phone screen and realized it was an unknown number, making her even


    more furious.


    Just when she was about to hang up the call, a condescending and delicate voice answered in


    disbelief.


    "Why are you the one answering Ed''s phone?"


    It turned out the unknown caller was Diane Gold.


    Before Alicia could rebut, Edmond raised his head suddenly and narrowed his eyes as he inched


    closer to her ear.


    His low and captivating husky voice rang out as he warned.


    "Go to sleep now, or shall we have another round if you can''t sleep?"


    As soon as he finished his sentences, his other hand reached over and hung up the call.


    He switched off the phone and threw it aside.


    Edmond held Alicia''s chin and kissed her twice before she nudged him with her elbow and warned


    with slight annoyance, "Behave yourself, and don''t y with fire."


    He chuckled as he closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around Alicia again before returning to


    sleep.


    The rain gradually lightened in the early morning.


    When Alicia woke up, Edmond had just finished showering and walked out of the bathroom with a


    bath towel hung around his waist.


    Indeed, just like Alicia''s mother had said before, Edmond had a very well-toned figure with a


    muscr waist and abs... However, a faint red scratch on his body made Alicia freeze for a few


    seconds.


    Edmond could sense her gaze as he smirked and chuckled before teasing.


    "Your scratching ability is quite simr to a wildcat."


    Alicia was speechless and embarrassed.


    She ran into the bathroom to clean herself up and saw hickeys all over her neck and corbone in


    the mirror. It instantly made her blood boil.


    "Edmond Agos must be a leech!" Alicia thought fumingly.


    After she finished her shower and came out, Alicia finally felt more bnced when she saw several


    bite marks on the back of Edmond, who was back facing her.


    It seemed like the both of them were tied neck to neck for the battlest night.


    Alicia grabbed a set of men''s pajamas from her closet, threw them on the bed, andmanded,


    "Put these on and pass me your dirtyundry fromst night. I''ll wash them for you."


    Edmond nced at the dark blue pajamas on the bed, and his gaze darkened as it had the same


    design as Alicia''s dark red nightgown.


    After a while, he asked coldly, "That man often sleeps over at your house?"


    Alicia was blow-drying her hair, and she could not help but frown upon hearing his questioning as


    she looked at him through the mirror.


    Edmond''s expression seemed slightly darkened as he lifted his phone and showed her the hot


    trending gossip for her to see.
