Chapter 614 Can''t Help Himself


    "Why are you looking at me like this? Martin asked as he touched his face and eyed Rosa up and


    down. earlier, she was out of the shower and in her pyjamas, but she had changed into the outfit she


    had worn during the day. Martin restrained from a burst ofughter and said, ""Look at you. You don''t


    even have a nice body. Why are you covering yourself up? No one will even bother to look at you."


    Martin gave her a sideways nce. He was clearly asking for a fight.


    Rosa was pissed off.


    "Anger surged within her. She was chilling in her room after a shower. Not only did he barge into her


    room and peek at her in such a revealing manner, he also criticized her with such harsh remarks. That


    was too much of him."


    It was not her personality to let someone bully her like that.


    "Rosa''s face sank as she red at him with her almond-shaped eyes wide open and said, ""Martin, I


    could have kicked you out for breaking into my bedroom, but I didn''t, and it was out of respect for


    Grandma. You should be apologizing, not mocking me like this. What do you even think of me?"""


    "Martin noticed the flush in her cheeks and the rage in her eyes. He knew that she was angry. Thus, he


    said with a chuckle, ""Rosa, I''m just messing with you. You don''t have to be that serious."""


    You''re annoying. Rosa snorted with a furious expression.


    "Look at you. You''ll age faster if you continue to be angry. You''re already 26. Stop acting like a


    teenager, or else you''ll end up scaring every suitor away. Martin chuckled and patted her on the head


    as he said in a gentle tone."


    "Scaring everyone away? Rosa was even more annoyed to hear that. Wasn''t it because of him that she


    was still single at her age? How dare he make fun of her? He was too much. She shoved his hand


    away and said, ""Men will be lining up for me if I give them a chance. Take Sergio for an example. He''s


    a better man than you''ll ever be, yet I''m not interested in him at all. I am an attractive woman. I am not


    in a rush to get married."""


    "Martin choked a little upon hearing her words. He was in a daze. Then, he said, ""No matter what, you


    will end up being married to me. You are mine. Although you are much older now, don''t worry. I will still


    keep to my word."" "


    Martin spoke with deep affection and without shame.


    "Rosa was greatly annoyed and said, ""Martin, I told you that we won''t work. I''d rather die alone than


    marry you. You should give up."""


    "Rosa wanted to walk away after saying that, but Martin blocked her path."


    "Get out of my way, Rosa said in a rude manner."


    Martin was hurt by her cold and harsh words. His heart ached. He could only freeze in ce and


    inspect her with his head tilted to one side. He didn''t intend to step out of her way.


    Rosa grew impatient. She shoved him away and stepped out to her bedroom.


    "Martin was shoved a couple of steps back. In a hurry, he grabbed her hand and caught up to her."


    "Let me go, Rosa said. They were already by the couch, and Martin was still grabbing her hand. She


    could not shove him away at all. He was stuck onto her like a piece of chewing gum. She got impatient


    and annoyed. So, she punched him in the chest as she yelled in rage."


    "Martin was somehow in a daze. As if he was addicted to it, he didn''t want to let go of Rosa''s hand at


    all. Heatwaves were spreading within his body, and his cheeks were flushed."


    "Just as Rosanded a punch on his chest, Martin took the opportunity to grab that arm. With his other


    free hand, he held her waist. After losing bnce, Rosa fell on the couch, with Martin falling on top of


    her."


    "His body was lying on top of hers. Their gazes met, and their noses were almost touching."


    "Rosa, don''t treat me like this, Martin said with his breathing heavy. His gaze was drifting to and fro."


    "Rosa was pressed onto the couch by Martin. She couldn''t move at all. She was flustered as she


    stared at him with her widened eyes. Martin''s cheeks were flushed, and he was staring at her with his


    dark and hazy gaze. She couldn''t read his expression at all, but she felt a sense of danger. She


    panicked."


    "Martin, get lost, Rosa shouted out of panic. She wanted to shove him away, but he was holding her


    hand, and he was lying right on top of her. She could only yell at him like that."


    "Meanwhile, Martin could no longer restrain himself. He finally, got the woman whom he had always


    been thinking of for a few years, underneath him, and he couldn''t hold back his desires at all."


    "Martin stared at Rosa''s red lips, as his mind got blurry and hot-headed. He couldn''t help himself but to


    lower his head and lock lips with her."


    Rosa widened her eyes in shock.


    She couldn''t evene up with anything before her lips were caught in a soft and gentle kiss by


    Martin. He found his way to break in her lips and explore further in the kiss.


    There was a loud rumble in Rosa''s head as her mind went nk.


    "His kiss was aggressive and reckless but also gentle. He took her breath away within just a couple of


    seconds, and Rosa couldn''t even tell the time anymore."


    "Rosa, I love you, Martin whispered in her ear after kissing her wildly and passionately, as if he wanted


    to inhale all of her scent."


    "He caught her Tristanobe in his lips, sucking and nibbling on it. His hot breath slowly moved down her


    neckline. There was no end to his passion in iming her."


    "It was not until his hand was on her chest that Rosa finally came back to her senses. She shoved him


    away with all of her strength as she cried out, ""Martin, you''ve gone too far. I will not forgive you for this.


    I''ll tell Uncle Hudson that you took advantage of me."""


    "The agony in Rosa''s tone gradually awakened Martin, who had already fallen into a deep slumber. He


    finally returned to his senses and stared at the crying woman in front of him with a nk expression."


    "Let me go, Rosa cried in shame as she punched and shoved him away with all of her might."


    "In a daze, Martin was finally shoved aside. Rosa quickly got up. She covered her mouth and ran away


    in tears."


    "Rosa. Martin let out a weak cry as he watched Rosa escape the room in panicked tears. Hey on the


    couch, and had lost all of his energy. He shut his eyes and punched hard on the couch."


    "D*mn it, what the h*ll was he doing?!"


    "Rosa was running away in tears, and as she rushed into the corridor, she ran into Belle, who was in


    deep thought and was heading back to her bedroom."


    "Rosa, what''s wrong? Belle asked in surprise as she saw Rosa running away in tears."


    "Rosa was ashamed and anxious, and her mind was in a daze. She ignored Belle and simply ran


    outside in tears."


    "Rosa, Belle called out. She was in shock. She had never seen Rosa like that. She immediately ran


    after Rosa. It was nighttime and dark outside. She was concerned if Rosa would run into danger."


    "Belle, don''t worry. Leave her to me. Martin''s anxious voice could be heard from behind Belle. She


    paused midway upon hearing his voice. Belle could roughly figure out what had happened. She stood


    on the spot and saw Martin walking over with a guilty expression."


    "Martin, what happened? Did you make her cry like that? Belle asked with a stern tone."


    "Martin''s face turned pale. He gaped, but no words came out of his mouth."


    Belle shook her head after taking in his reaction.


    "Martin, a girl is to be coaxed. Haste makes waste. You shouldn''t break her heart like this, no matter


    what, Belle said. She was worried that Martin was pushing Rosa to her limit. That would only make


    things worse for him. Rosa was from a noble family. She wasn''t a seasoned veteran, and she had high


    self-esteem. She could never ept Martin if he was acting too aggressive."


    "Martin was blushing, down to his neck. The darkness in his gaze terrified Belle."


    "In reality, although Martin had a wed past, he was neither a pervert, nor did he attract many women


    like Calvin."


    "Martin''s good looks didn''t pale inparison with Calvin. However, due to his gloomy personality, he


    didn''t get to attract many women in his life. Martin was someone who would keep everything to himself.


    He always walked with his head down and never opened himself up to anyone else. Back in those days


    when he liked her, he was stubborn and aggressive, even knowing that it was wrong to do so. It took a


    long time for him to turn around in the end."


    "Now that he was in love with Rosa, it was assumed that he would be as stubborn and aggressive as


    before. He wouldn''t be able to move on until Rosa got married and started a family with another man."


    "Flirting might not be Martin''s strength. On top of that, his gloomy personality would make people


    around him feel that he would sooner orter abandon the whole world. If he fell for Rosa using his own


    approaches, would Rosa ept him for being that way?"


    "With so many obstacles between them, could they get a happy ending?"


    "Even if Rosa were to fall for Martin, it wouldn''t be enough too without getting General Perry''s approval.


    General Perry had always been strict in maintaining their family structure. He was from the military and


    would always stand by his words. Rosa was aware of that as well, or else she wouldn''t have agreed to


    marry Sergio."


    "Belle, please help mefort Rosa. I was out of control. Martin begged Belle with his mortified


    expression. His eyes were sorrowful and lonely as he said, ""I am not in the right ce to beg for her


    forgiveness."""


    He then turned around and walked away.


    "Belle stood there watching him leave. He was a man, yet he looked like a child at that moment as he


    seemed lonely and helpless. In every man''s heart, there would always be a child. Belle could only


    agree to that saying after seeing Martin''s reaction. He looked dejected, like a child who had admitted


    his defeat for not winning Rosa''s trust and understanding."


    "After walking away for a few steps, Martin turned around and said to Belle stubbornly, ""Belle, I love


    Rosa. I don''t think there''s any wrong with this."" He then walked away without chasing after Rosa."


    Belle froze in ce.


    "Indeed, no one could tell what was right or wrong in love. Only the involved parties could tell if they


    were a perfect match or not."


    "Rosa had a bright and easygoing personality, whereas Martin was gloomy and quiet. She was an


    extrovert, while he was an introvert. They wouldplement each other if they were together."


    "Belle had that thought. Perhaps Sophia had already seen it this way before Belle did. After all, Sophia


    approved of their union, whereas Calvin and Belle were somehow forced into a marriage."


    "However, it was apparent that Rosa and Martin were still trapped in a maze and couldn''t notice that."


    "Belle pondered for a while before shaking her head, toe back to her senses. Out of concern for


    Rosa, Belle headed towards the direction she ran off to."Original from N?velDrama.Org.
