Chapter 353 She Was Tired


    … “Are you still running?”


    “No! Miyamoto, please, don’t do this!”


    Vincent didn’t save Pippa after all. He was punched a few times due to his own carelessness and yet,


    his chin and the corner of his lips were injured.


    What Miyamoto had said when he was leaving and what Arthur had said put Vincent into deep thought


    that drove him to the Pearl Community as he felt that Le was there even though he didn’t know why.


    He knew that matters between husband and wife should be dealt with by themselves and for matters


    that involved Pippa and Miyamoto, Miyamotohad entangled her for six year but Pippa had repeatedly


    evaded and even he didn’t know why?


    It was just that he could clearly see how much Miyamoto cared for Pippa and it was like a mirror of


    himself where he found himself caring for Le too. How could he not care? Even if that kind of caring


    was more like possession! Or even it had nothing to do with love, yet, it was caring as if she was his toy


    which no one could own and she could only be his own.


    The way Miyamoto treated Pippa was like the way he treated Le. At this moment, Vincent was dazed


    as the car glided through the night and turned into the Pearl Community where the lights of the condo


    were on. She was here.


    Looking at the small window with flickering warm light inside, his eyes showed a trace of fondness.


    Perhaps, there was something wrong with the way he treated Le. Subconsciously, he didn’t want


    Le to evade himself like the way Pippa evaded Miyamoto.


    He then went upstairs and knocked on the door but there was no sound and no one came to open the


    door for a long time.


    Le was in the bathroom when the doorbell rang. She was dazing in the bath momentarily when she


    just felt that the bath water was cold by the time she was awakened by the doorbell suddenly.


    Wasn’t it Vincent?


    Le sighed secretly, then got up, draping herself in her bathrobe and unhurriedly went to change her


    clothes into her pajamas.


    The doorbell was still ringing as if it would keep on ringing if she didn’t open the door.


    Le walked to the door and saw it was Vincent through the peephole but when she opened the door


    for him, she could only see that his handsome face was injured with bruises on his chin and blood


    seeped from the corner of his mouth. She was expressionless but her heart twitched actually.

    Vincent stood at the doorway and he was relieved when he saw Le opening the door. He raised the


    corner of his lips gently but the pain at the corners of his mouth made him wince. “Le…”


    He was about to enter but Le blocked the doorway. Her calm eyes showed a mncholy that


    seemed unable to be dissolved and she faintly parted her eyes, “Go back, I don’t want to see you.


    Don’t disturb the neighbors as it’s toote!”


    Upon hearing her calmly driving him away, Vincent’s handsome face tightened up, he didn’t turn angry


    but just sighed. “Le, I know you are angry, but…”


    “I’m not angry!” Le raised her eyes calmly, “Go away!”


    “Le! I’m injured!” His tone was full of aggrievance as if he wanted to seekfort from Le.


    “Go to the hospital if you are injured. I’m not a nurse!” She didn’t look at him and tried to close the door.


    He reacted swiftly by reaching out to block between the door and the door frame but the back of his


    hand was squeezed by the door. Le had no choice but to open the door. Looking at the back of his


    hand that had been swollen with redness, she said in a deep voice, “What do you want?”


    “Let me in, Le!” Vincent’s voice was low and he was not angry at all. In the past, he would have been


    furious but this time, he looked like a child who had done something wrong and looked at Le


    tteringly.


    Le shook her head, “I need to prepare for my defense. Can you leave me alone?”


    Vincent was slightly stunned and shook his head. “But how can you do well in your defense if you have


    something in your mind?”


    Le was in a trance and she was instantly startled when Vincent had already walked up to her. He


    grabbed her wrist straight away and pushed the door in violently. He then closed it behind him and


    tugged her towards the sofa. He pressed her down dominatingly and she exhaled anxiously, “You…”


    “Don’t move.” He stopped in a hard voice, “Le, listen to me, do you think that Pippa is important in my


    heart and that’s why you are angry? Because I always leave you behind?”


    “It has nothing to do with me!” She panicked and he was right as those words pointed to her heart.


    “Don’t be childish.” Vincent’s tone was a little serious but pampered while reaching out to hold her small


    hand.


    She looked coldly at his face, and his bruised chin and blood-stained corners of his lips made him look


    different. She didn’t expect that he who was such an arrogant would get beaten up too before he came


    over here!


    “Feel sorry?” He stared at her whose eyes showed a trace of care.


    Le turned embarrassed and denied nervously, “No way!”


    “Why are you embarrassed if you don’t feel sorry for me?” Vincent smiled again and his handsome face


    which was slightly deformed by the beating looked very awkward but had a touch of indescribable


    charm.


    Realizing that the corner of his lips was still bleeding, Le finally could not bear with it and stood up. “I


    go and take the medicine box!”


    “No! Le, it is alright!” Vincent showed a miserable smile, “Don’t worry, I won’t die!”


    Le stood up and took the medicine box without saying anything. Looking at the bruised Vincent


    whose handsome face had already deformed, Le didn’t choose to argue with him but sat down with


    an obscure face, “Leave immediately after applying the medicine!”


    “Then I don’t want to apply the medicine!” Vincent said immediately.


    Ignoring him, Le then took the alcohol cotton ball with a tweezer and pressed it directly on the corner


    of his mouth. “Don’t move!”


    “It hurts!” Vincent grunted but he still felt very sweet as Le was willing to help him with the medicine


    even though it was painful.


    After helping him to deal with his injuries quickly, Le then stood up and said in a cold voice, “You can


    go now!”


    “Le…”


    “Don’t you go?” Her voice was even colder.


    She had already done her humanitarian spirit by helping him to apply the medicine, so naturally she


    won’t take him in as it was too tiring! Yet, she was tired!


    “No way! Why should I leave? I’ll be where my wife is!” Vincent turned shameless.


    Le was not annoyed but looked expressionless. She then picked up the phone and dialed the


    number.


    Vincent was stunned as he didn’t know what she was doing. “Le, who are you calling?”


    Le said to the phone when it was connected, “Hello, is it themunity security department? There’s


    a burr in my house, pleasee and help me to catch him and send him to the police station!”


    “Damn it!” Vincent roared in a low voice, then stood up, immediately ran over and grabbed the phone,


    and said anxiously to the other end of the phone, “My wife is mistaken. There is no burr here!”


    After hanging up the phone, Vincent immediately bent down his body to pick Le up and walked


    towards her bedroom. Although his face was cold, yet his movement was soft and gentle enough.


    By the time she tried to resist, she confronted his cold eyes that would make Le cower in fear of


    death, but then she said coldly, “Let go of me, Vincent! You’ve lost the right to hold me!”


    His thick eyebrows furrowed and his ck eyes were cold and sharp, yet, Vincent’s tightly pursed thin


    lips was changed into a sly smile. “Whatever you say, I’m not leaving anyway!”


    “Get lost!” Le said in a stern voice.


    “I won’t leave!”


    “You’re a rascal!”


    “Yeah, I’m a rascal. What can you do?”


    Without giving Le a chance to say anything, Vincent quickly put her on the bed and covered her with


    the quilt that made Le feel unusually warm while Vincent just said, “Just sleep, I’m not leaving. I will


    sleep on the sofa in the living room for the night!”


    He just carried her into the bedroom and put her on the bed before he walked out. His gentle tone


    made Le’s already dead heart flutter slightly. If he hadn’t left her tonight, then she would have been


    happily snuggled up in his arms, but…


    When he reached the door, he turned around, met Le’s puzzled eyes and said softly, “Good night! I


    know you don’t want to see me, but do sleep well as the defense is important!”


    Vincent sat on the sofa alone after closing the door as he stayed here shamelessly. His heart softened


    up inexplicably when his sight turned to Le’s room door. Perhaps he really did something wrong this


    time that made Le really angry!


    He seemed awakened by Arthur’s words that the real harm was not the quarrel but the warmth he gave


    to others which made his woman get hurt and misunderstand. Perhaps he really cared too much for


    Pippa but he thought that it was only a simple care for his family. As for him, he had only his mother,


    Pippa and Owen as his family in this world.


    Le thought that she would not fall asleep as Vincent was outside, but not knowing why, she fell


    asleep quickly.


    Undoubtedly, this night’s sleep was unusually deep and heavy. When the early hours of the morning


    came, Le felt a warm hand caressing her cheek and rubbing it warmly before recovering her with the


    nket and walked out.


    In the quiet, the warmth of the nket was still there, Le opened her eyes indifferently, was he


    feeling guilty? So he didn’t sleep in the middle of the night but came to see her? She didn’t say


    anything but closed her eyes and going back to sleep.


    Vincent didn’t sleep all night, and when Le got up early in the morning, he was just asleep. Looking


    at the tall figure huddled on the sofa, Le frowned. She then went into the bathroom, washed and


    changed her clothes and left without disturbing him.


    The moment the door closed, Vincent opened his eyes and stood up. He opened the door and walked


    out. She really ignored him which made Vincent have a feeling of frustration and he had never been


    this frustrated before.


    ***


    At the entrance of themunity, Le was striding out when a harsh voice came from behind her


    suddenly, “Get in.”


    The car window was lowered and Vincent spoke in a cold and deep voice while looking at Le with an


    irresistible gaze.


    “Vincent, we have nothing to say.” Le gave a discontented nce at the domineering Vincent, then


    stepped away and continued to walk forward as she had nothing to say to him.


    “It seems that you need me to get out of the car myself.” The car was driving slowly while Vincent


    looked at a few morning exercisers. He could conclude that Le won’t argue with him as he saw her


    greeting with those people who were actually her old neighbors.
