Chapter 44 She Lucked Out

Penulis: Rosie Steppe
Eric quickly shot back, "Oh, and you get to blame me all you want?"

His deep voice sounded aggrieved, leaving Rosalyn at a loss for words.

Was he a drama queen? He certainly knew how to make a fuss!

Clink! Clink!

Eric tapped his clean fingers on the plate before him, gesturing at the many crayfish he had peeled. "I've peeled plenty of crayfish in my lifetime, but you're the only one who gets to eat it aside from me."

Was he trying to defend himself? But why?

Rosalyn had no idea what he was getting at and simply replied, "I guess I lucked out."

"You certainly did when you married me."

He really could boast without feeling bashful at all.

Even if Rosalyn couldn't read Eric's mind, he did tell her why he married her.

Still, she said, "Mr. Hammond, if all you really want is to destroy a woman like me, it's far easier than setting up such an elaborate scheme."

And with those words, she stood up and left the restaurant.

As it turned out, the nights in Celdona were very cold, and

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 264 Only If She's Lucky

    "Eric, you should change your name to Copperhead. That move was evil."Luke hadn't gone inside Zayne's estate. With Jim involved, he knew that he'd get skinned alive when he got home if he stepped through that door. Still, all the things Eric had ordered delivered earlier were sourced by him."Evil? I almost had a heart attack with what he did. What I did was already merciful." Eric scoffed unapologetically.Luke glanced at him. "It's rare that you're actually afraid of something."He then added, "I've had people prepare another house. You and Rosalyn can move there.""Probably won't be staying," Eric said before glancing at the sky. It was already getting bright.Luke paused. "Why? Are you heading back?""This place is turning into a dog-eat-dog world. I don't want to get caught in the crossfire," Eric said vaguely.Luke narrowed his eyes. "Eric, you're the most dangerous one here."As their car drove off, inside the villa, Zayne looked at the snakes slithering everywhere. Th

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 263 She Wouldn't Suffer for Nothing

    In the middle of the night, Rosalyn was sound asleep.Eric slipped out quietly and glanced at the men Luke had brought with him. "I want airtight security. No one gets in.""Rest assured, Mr. Hammond!" the two bodyguards replied in unison.Luke slung an arm around Eric's shoulder. "Don't you trust the people I brought?""It's exactly because I trusted them too much that this happened," Eric said. All the playfulness he showed Rosalyn was gone."This one's on me." Luke was clearly embarrassed.Pulling something like this on his friend was no different from slapping him in the face."Have they found him?" Eric asked as he got into the car. Dressed head to toe in black casual wear, he looked cold and enigmatic."We traced it through the kid's game console. That person has already confessed who was behind it," Luke said and paused. "Care to guess who?"Eric stared into the endless darkness. He already had his answer. "I'd like to hear how he plans to explain himself."When Zayne

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 262 Forcing Her to Leave

    Eric closed his eyes until he heard Rosalyn say, "It's a toy."'Huh?'He slowly opened them and saw Rosalyn gripping the snake's head with one hand and cradling its body with the other. The snake stared straight at Eric, and he jolted before retreating another step toward the door.This was clearly a living being. How could it be a toy?Seeing how terrified he looked, Rosalyn suddenly played a prank by tossing it toward him. Eric leaped three steps away in one go. Where was the bravery he once had when he'd protected her from a caterpillar?"It's just a realistic toy. It's not real," Rosalyn explained.She had to admit that modern 3D and 4D technologies were impressive. The toy looked indistinguishable from the real thing.Eric stared at the golden python toy on the floor for a few seconds. Only after he was sure it wasn't real did he finally sigh in relief, but his expression still looked awful.It wasn't just from the scare. The real problem was that something like this appea

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 261 A Sudden Fallout

    "No!"Rosalyn was absolutely certain. She understood exactly what Eric meant by asking that. "Do you think she's coming after me for revenge?"Eric's gaze was fixed on her. "What kind of grudge do you think she could possibly have with you?""If there is one, it's probably because my mother was once in a relationship with her man." That wasn't exactly a secret, and with Eric, she didn't feel the need to hide anything.But her mother had already passed away.Zayne said Naomi was only doing this to find the person he had always kept hidden in his heart. At first glance, that explanation sounded plausible. Any woman would feel jealous knowing her husband shared a bed with her while loving someone else. But the more Rosalyn thought about it, the more absurd it felt.Zayne and Naomi had been married for over twenty years, and she had tolerated it all this time. And now, she suddenly had some kind of awakening in her old age?"I need you to do me a favor," Rosalyn said suddenly.Eric

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 260 Aimed at You

    Rosalyn knew he was injured, having seen it in the video. But now, standing so close to him, she realized his wounds were far worse than the camera had shown.It was all for an act, but he had gone too far with it.Rosalyn felt a pang in her chest. Eric then lowered his voice and muttered weakly, "It really hurts."Upon hearing that, Rosalyn looked up at him. "You brought this on yourself."She turned and went inside. Eric followed right behind her while saying, "Yes. I deserve it."Rosalyn opened the door but stood in the way. "Eric, is this another one of your tricks to gain my sympathy?" She no longer trusted him. Knowing that it would take time to change that, he did not argue. "You can take it that way."Even if it was a play to gain sympathy, the injury was real. Rosalyn's jaw tightened. "I've already been punished," he continued softly.Self-punishment was still punishment. Rosalyn went inside. He immediately tried to follow, but she said flatly, "I don't have any

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 259 You're Gross

    Eric looked at him and asked, "Luke, have you been chatting with Sean a lot lately?"Luke replied, "Uh, not really. Why?"Eric fixed his gaze on Luke's head. "Your IQ's dropped a lot. You should take more vitamins for your brain." The corner of Luke's mouth twitched. At this point, he fully understood how miserable Sean's life must be, having to deal with this asshole.But right now, Luke wasn't bothered about Eric's mockery. His eyes were burning with gossip. "Are you planning to use that incident to warn her? Looks like something really did happen that night, huh?"Eric tugged at his collar and said, "Find me a nice house here—one that has a yard."At a moment like this, Luke couldn't care less about houses."No, wait. Eric, that night you and—""Do you know whose mouth is the tightest?" Eric cut him off.Luke fell silent.When Rosalyn saw Luke again, he was holding a bouquet of roses, smiling as brightly as the flowers themselves. "Welcome to Salenbourg, Mrs. Hammond. I'm
