Chapter 26 I''ll Dress You Myself


    Being upset, Ca had forgotten that her underwear was inside that bundle of clothes she had thrown


    at Terence. Feeling embarrassed she blushed, as she watched Terence pulling her bra out in front of


    her.


    He folded her clothes neatly and stacked them on her bed ording to wearing sequence, just like a


    good housemaid.


    Ca felt her cheeks burning with anger when she saw that he hadid her underwear on top of the


    stack of clothes. She breathed in deeply to calm herself down and said, "If someone is going to put my


    clothes on for me, it will be my future husband! Who do you think you are to touch my clothes?"


    She never expected that he would be irritated by what she said.


    Terence stopped what he was doing and straightened up, ring at her angrily.


    "I beg your pardon?"


    Ca put her hands on her hips. "I said it will only be my future husband who has the right to dress me


    and you are not him!"


    She ignored his angry expression and took the clothes from the bed turning to go into the bathroom to


    change.


    But before she had the chance, she was grabbed by two strong hands.


    "ording to what you just said, then it''s my job to dress you. Just enjoy it, sweetheart." Terence held


    the sides of her white pajama top and was about to pull it over her head.


    Realizing that he wasn''t just joking, Ca suddenly felt nervous. She tried to grasp the top with her


    hands, but he was more powerful.


    "Terence, stop! I''ll call the police and tell them that you''re harassing me. Just stop!" she said in a loud


    desperate voice. Ca scowled at him. They had flirted, caressed and kissed, but they had never made


    love. She was afraid of what was going to happen.


    If this scenario had happened before she found out who he really was, she would probably have


    indulged herself and allowed him to dress her or have even been intimate with him. Because at that


    time, she thought they were from the same world.


    But now things were different. They would most likely break up sooner orter, so she didn''t want to


    cross that line with him and make things moreplicated.


    "Harass, huh? That''s a minor charge. I want to make it a bit more severe if you know what I mean."


    Terence smiled wickedly. The thin material of the pajamas was nothing for his strong hands.


    With one tug, the pajama was torn off.


    It happened so fast that Ca hadn''t even realized until her skin felt cooler.


    She looked down and saw that her pajamay in tatters around her waist. Her bar was unhooked the


    next second, and then he put the new one on her and hooked it carefully.


    Then the scent of freshly washed clothes dropped over her head. She was being dressed as a baby


    would be. One of her arms was lifted and inserted into a sleeve and then the other. The top was then


    adjusted and smoothed down around her body.


    "That''s my girl,"


    Terence said, satisfied. Then he frowned, looking at her pajama bottoms, thinking of how to change


    them quickly.


    Realizing what Terence was nning on doing, Ca quickly grabbed a pair of pants and rushed into


    the bathroom and locked herself inside. She rested her back against the door to catch her breath.


    Terenceughed out loud when he saw her run off. He bent down and scooped up her torn pajama


    from the floor and brought the material to his nose. He closed his eyes and breathed in her lovely


    scent.


    Ca finally came out panting as if she had just escaped from some sort of danger.


    ''He has finally shown his true colors. What a jerk! But why do I feel like I keep falling into his trap?'' she


    thought.


    Afterposing herself, Ca checked her watch. If she didn''t hurry up she would bete for work.


    Late in the evening that day


    when she had just finished work, even though Ca was really tired, she didn''t want to go home. So


    she stalled by riding her scooter around the streets.


    Thinking about the incident with Terence that morning, her heart suddenly began to beat faster. She felt


    nervous but excited as well.


    The phone in her pocket kept vibrating, so she finally pulled over to the side to check the phone. The


    number disyed on the screen was her home number. She was reluctant to answer because she


    didn''t know if it was Sean or Terence and she didn''t know how to deal with Terence just yet.


    "Hello..." she answered.


    "Ca, it''s me. Are you still at work?"


    "I''m nearly off duty. I''ll being home shortly,"


    feeling relieved that it was only Sean, she rxed.


    "Okay. Please be as quick as you can. We are both waiting for you so we can all enjoy this deliciously


    cooked meal that Terence has prepared. He won''t let me start without you. He says we have to wait for


    you. Please hurry. I''m starving,"


    Sean said while he nced at Terence who was listening to their conversation.


    After hanging up the phone, Ca sat on her scooter for a moment to collect her thoughts. There was


    only one ce for her to go now and that was home. She heaved a deep sigh and turned the scooter


    around.


    She arrived home and grudgingly went inside.


    Seeing that Ca was back, Sean quickly brought her slippers to her. He couldn''t wait to have dinner.


    Terence walked over to her, taking her coat. He hung it up like he usually did and said, "Ca, wee


    home. Wash your hands and let''s have dinner."


    Ca had been used to this routine and in the past, it hadn''t seemed out of ce. But now, it felt


    strange to Ca and made her feel ufortable. Knowing that the man who was staying with them,


    cooked their meals and did meaningless household chores was not used to that sort of lifestyle. He


    was used to having things done for him instead. For goodness sake, he had a chauffeur-driven Rolls-


    Royce limousine!


    She couldn''t understand why he had chosen to do all of that for her. Since when did a privileged


    wealthy childe like to serve the poor? It just didn''t make any sense and it was very hard for her to


    ept.


    "Ca, I told you that Terence wasn''t an ungrateful man. It turns out that I am right," said Sean pouting


    at his sister. The previous night, when Ca had told him that Terence would be staying with his family


    Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    and wouldn''t return, he didn''t believe her.


    So when Terence came back today, he finally proved to Ca that he was right.


    "Yes, let''s eat," Ca replied quietly. She put a spoonful of rice in her te and bowed her head down


    to eat. She avoided meeting Terence''s eyes.


    Terence furrowed his eyebrows. "Don''t just eat the rice. I have made a few different dishes for you.


    Here, try them," he said as he


    got the chopsticks and piled fish, her favorite, stir-fried vegetables and shelled shrimp, of which he


    shelled himself onto her te. Soon, her te was so full of food that she didn''t know where to begin.


    Sean watched and felt jealous that Ca was getting all of the attention.


    "Terence, I''m still a kid, but Ca is an adult. Why are you picking dishes for her instead of me? It''s


    unfair,"


    Terence realized that he was favoring Ca over Sean so he put some shrimp onto his te as well.


    "This is for you. Your sister has worked hard all day, so we should take more care of her. Besides, there


    is plenty of food for you to eat. Help yourself," Terence exined.


    Sean was satisfied with Terence''s exnation. He then nced at Ca and then back at him and


    asked, "Terence, did you and my sister have a row?


    I was scared because I thought you weren''t going toe back anymore. I am so d that you are


    with us now."


    Terence paused for a moment to wipe his hands on a napkin. "That''s not going to happen. But you


    have reminded me of something. Sean, how would you like toe to my city and study there?


    There are many schools where Ie from. Some of which have a very good reputation. If you study


    at one of these schools, you will have a much better education. What do you say?"


    Sean was Ca''s weak spot and Terence was taking advantage of that. He knew that if Sean were to


    attend a school there, she would follow to be with him.


    However, he wasn''t expecting her reaction. Before Sean had a chance to say anything, Ca spoke


    up, "Definitely not!" Ca tly refused on behalf of her little brother. "Sean has lived here for many


    years. He has made a lot of friends and gets along well with his ssmates. It''s not a good idea for him


    to separate from them."


    With a mouth full of shrimp, Sean looked at Ca''s angry face and said, "That sounds good to me.


    When you two get married someday, I will surely be living with you, so it''s not a bad idea if I move


    there."


    Just like some of the kids from his ss, when their parents moved to another city they naturally went


    with them. It was verymon.


    Family was much more important to him than his ssmates, so he didn''t have a problem with


    epting Terence''s suggestion.


    "Ahem!"


    Ca cleared her throat in shock. She turned to Sean and frowned. She felt like kicking him under the


    table. ''What an unreliable sibling he turns out to be!''
