Chapter 42 A Strong Sense of Security


    The more Janice thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt. Fortunately, she was not seen by


    others when she went downstairs just now, otherwise she would feel so shamed to see others in the


    future!


    It was better to fall asleep before Marcus returned, so as not to let him bring up this topic again.


    After sighing, Janice lifted the quilt and climbed onto the bed. When she was about to turn off the light,


    she suddenly remembered that she had not hidden the saber well.


    If the masked man came to her again, she must teach him a lesson this time. She couldn’t spare him


    lightly!


    Janice quickly took out the folding saber from her bag and tried it as the clerk told her. After confirming


    that it was oaky, she hid it under the pillow.


    She paid attention to the movement around her, so she was in a state of high tension. Lying on the


    bed, tossing and turning, she didn’t fall asleep for a long time.


    However, apart from her heartbeat and breathing, there were no other noises in the room.


    A faint light leaked from the crack in the bedroom door, proving that there was no one outside at this


    time.


    It seemed that there were really no strangers around. She gradually rxed, and then she felt sleepy.


    She covered her mouth and yawned before falling asleep.


    When she was sleeping, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.


    Hearing the movement at the door, Janice opened her eyes abruptly, feeling extremely nervous.


    Was it that mane again?


    She was startled in a cold sweat, and hurriedly took out the saber from under the pillow and held it


    tightly in her hand.


    "Don''t touch me, or don''t me me for being rude!" She shouted, her lips trembling involuntarily.


    Suddenly, a beam of warm yellow light flooded into her vision. She saw Marcus holding the switch of


    the floormp in his hand. The dim light cast a haze on his handsome face.


    "Janice, have you had a nightmare? Or something happened?"

    Marcus'' inquiring tone was extremely gentle. His slightly frowned eyebrows were filled with concerns


    for her.


    It turned out that Marcus was back.


    Janice was really stressed out by the masked man!


    When she was relieved, she hurriedly hid the saber under the pillow and replied softly, "I''m okay. I just


    had a nightmare."


    "Well." He replied softly, turning the wheelchair and gradually approaching her, tentatively asking,


    "Janice, can you push me to take a bath?"


    "Okay, wait a minute."


    Janice immediately got out of bed and pushed him into the bathroom.


    Now for her, the work of helping him take a bath had be a welfare. She could enjoy the free strip


    show without hesitation every time.


    Maybe Marcus was worried that she would sleep toote, so he shortened the bath time.


    When the two returned to the bed, Marcus’ short ck hair was still stained with water drops. His hair


    was softly attached to his full forehead.


    Janice opened her quilt,y in and curled herself up into a ball. She was too scared to close her eyes.


    After a few seconds, the mattress shook abruptly. She felt a warm bodyy down.


    "Good night." Marcus said softly to Janice.


    The breath when he was speaking swept to her ears and neck. The feeling made her very shy. Her


    heart couldn''t help beating wildly.


    She recalled that she had a nightmarest time, then Marcus hugged her from behind. They two stuck


    together almost seamlessly.


    Today, he wouldn''te to hug her, would he?


    She was startled by this thought. Then she sighed inwardly. What was she expecting?


    However, Marcus distanced himself from her after saying "goodnight". Then he got into the quilt on his


    own, and turned his back against her.


    Janice turned her head and nced at Marcus. Her nose was instantly filled with his unique warm


    breath. Her mind buzzed. Then she looked away.


    The man''s even breathing sound came to her ears. The speed of her heartbeat gradually slowed down.


    It was strange that as long as she was by his side, she felt safe inexplicably and infinite warmth.


    At this moment, a certain kind of emotion umted in her chest, as if about to burst out.


    Why did the disabled Marcus give her a strong sense of security?


    She had never felt this way when she was with Ryan before. What kind of magic did Marcus have?


    Janice was troubled by this question. After thinking for a long time but she still didn’t find the answer,


    she finally decided not topete with herself. Soon, she fell asleep in peace of mind.


    The next day.


    Janice strode into thepany, holding the printed leave form in her hand. She was going to spend


    her honeymoon with Marcus soon, so she naturally had to formally ask for a wedding leave with the


    The atmosphere of thepany was a bit weird. She could feel the scrutiny of the people around her.


    Several colleagues huddled together and nced at her seemingly inadvertent. When they saw her


    looking at them, they immediately looked away and pretended that nothing happened.


    She hadn''te to thepany for several days, so she didn’t provoke them, did she? Janice


    scratched her head, not knowing the reason.


    As she walked into the office suspiciously, the quarrel between the two women caught her attention.


    "Fiona, watch yournguage! You cheated on your fiancé and ruin other people''s feelings. You don''t


    even self-examination yourself. Instead, youe here to nder others! Are you shameless?! I''m so


    embarrassed for you." Chloe''s sharp voice came to Janice’s ears.


    Why were these two people quarreling?


    Janice’s heart sank. She stepped forward, and quickly squeezed into the onlookers.
