Chapter 418


    The Melendez family had Leah still around. What if ra’s visit to Emmett was misconstrued yet


    again?


    To get her hands on the antidote, ra had tried her best to avoid any encounters with Emmett, but he


    seemed determined to seek her out.


    “Enough with the chatter! If the young master calls for you, you better get moving!” the butler grumbled,


    a look of impatience on his face. “Remember, don’t upset the young master. If he’s unhappy, I’ll make


    sure you’re not having a good time either. In the Melendez house, you’re a maid, and when orders


    come your way, there’s no room for refusal!”


    Knowing there was no way to evade the situation, ra nodded reluctantly.


    She deliberately took a detour through the back yard to Emmett’s room. As soon as she stepped


    inside, before she could even approach Emmett…


    Suddenly, there was a knock on the door!


    Startled, ra instinctively hid behind the door, holding her breath.


    “Emmett, it’s me, Leah. Sophia sent me over with some hangover remedy.”


    Upon hearing Leah’s voice, ra didn’t dare breathe a word! If Leah were to walk right in and see her


    in Emmett’s room, there would be no way she could exin herself!


    “Emmett, are you there?” Leah knocked again.


    Just as ra’s heart was about to leap out of her chest, Emmett suddenly sat up on his bed, his


    handsome face clouded in a drunken haze, his expression grim. “Beat it. I don’t need any hangover


    remedy, and I don’t want to be disturbed!”


    Hearing Emmett’s voice, Leah responded in disappointment, “Alright then, sorry for interrupting your


    rest! I’ll leave the hangover remedy at your doorstep. If you need it, take it inside. I won’t disturb your


    rest anymore.”


    Listening to Leah’s fading footsteps, ra only allowed herself to breathe a sigh of relief once they


    werepletely out of earshot.


    With a thud, Emmetty back down on the bed, his slender finger motioning. “Water, give me water!”


    ra froze, was he talking to her?


    She hurriedly poured Emmett a ss of water and handed it to him. Emmett didn’t open his eyes yet


    he knew her direction.


    “You… decided toe back?”


    Those words made ra’s heart ache, “Yeah… Emmett, I’m sorry…”


    ra reached out to gently stroke his cheek. Maybe only at times like this could she get close to him.


    Perhaps this would be the only time in her life!

    “Here, I poured you water, have a sip!”


    She gently moved the ss closer to Emmett’s lips, but he suddenly tossed his hand and the ss hit


    the floor!


    ra instinctively moved to pick it up, but lost her bnce andnded on the bed.


    Emmett had a firm grip on her arm!


    “You… let go of me. If there’s nothing else, I need to go.”


    If Leah couldn’t find her soon, she would realize that ra was in Emmett’s room.


    In the Melendez household, she had to be cautious at all times. Only by not angering Leah could she


    get her hands on the antidote.


    Seeing that Emmett had no reaction, she gently pushed him, “Could you let go of my hand? Can you


    let…”


    Before ra could finish her sentence, Emmett rolled onto her, sealing her lips with his.


    For a moment, ra didn’t know if he was genuinely drunk or pretending.


    How could he so urately kiss her?


    “You… you need to… you can’t do this, let me go! Emmett!”
