Chapter 717
"Mr. Green, can you leave and let me sleep here?"
"No, I''ll be staying here to watch over you," Adam declined gently.
"I can shout your name if I need you."
Adam didn''t want to leave Emmeline''s side, but he didn''t want to cross her either. Before he left, he
caressed Emmeline''s cheek. Almost instinctively, Emmeline tried to grab hold of Adam''s wrist. But
Adam was quick enough to withdraw his hand.
"Emma!"
"Don''t call me that, pervert!" Now that Emmeline regained some of her vigor, she decided to defend
herself.
"Dammit!" Adam dodged but did not retaliate, even though Emmeline would never stand a chance
against him. As Emmeline lurched forward, she tripped over.

"Ah!"
Adam caught Emmeline in his embrace. But the next thing he knew, Emmeline had already dug her
teeth into his shoulder.
"Ouch!" Adam raised his palm to p Emmeline, but he decided against it. He allowed Emmeline to
bite him.
"Emma, do you feel better now?" Emmeline only let go after she tasted blood in her mouth. "You bit
me. But I don''t mind it. As long as you didn''t hurt yourself."
If Emmeline could see, she would notice that Adam was trying his best to be the sweetest person there
was. Adam left Emmeline alone after the short brawl. He couldn''t take another tantrum anymore.
"Are you all right, Mr. Anthony?" asked a servant when she saw the blood on Adam''s shirt.
"Find me a doctor now."
"Yes, Mr. Anthony."
"And let me know once the soup is ready. I will feed her myself."
"Yes, sir."
The doctor came and treated Adam''s wound. As Adam changed his bloodied shirt, he suddenly
recalled something. Moments ago, when Emmeline fell into his embrace, she was mere inches away
from his beard. Fortunately, he had turned his head away. Otherwise, Emmeline would have easily
guessed who he was through his voice and beard. After this realization, Adam shaved his beard. His
clean-shaven face made him look younger. Now maybe that would be enough to impress Emmeline.
