บททั้งหมดของ Marrying Without You: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Eric was asleep for the entirety of the flight.Rosalyn had no idea if he was still embarrassed about being caught fearing the darkness, or if he feared flying on planes.Either way, he was sleeping comfortably, although his head was on her shoulders, and his hand was holding hers—basically pressing himself against her.If it wasn't on purpose, then it was really…Rosalyn couldn't help remembering that they had shared a bed last night—did he sleep like this too?It was such a shame that she wouldn't know, since she had been asleep.Still, as their flight landed, Eric was suddenly no different from before, but he kept leaning toward her on his own accord."Are you afraid of flying?" Rosalyn asked in curiosity."Yeah. I have aviophobia."Eric's answer really surprised Rosalyn—if a bigwig like him feared flying around, what would he do for international business talks?"Are you saying you don't usually fly much?" she asked uncertainly.Eric himself sought her help. Unlike when

Well, that was awkward.And as if not afraid of killing her with embarrassment, Eric asked in amusement, "I didn't know you suck your fingers despite your age, Mrs. Hammond."Rosalyn's body was already heating up from the spice, and her nose was now perspiring from the embarrassment, the beads of sweat glistening against the light."Well… The sauce is more savory, and it's the soul of the dish," she defended herself, though it was the truth too—the best moment was when the flesh went in, followed by the succulent sauce.Eric could see that she was flustered, but he wasn't letting up. "Just admit it already."At this point, Rosalyn gave up—how could she still eat at that point?Still, just as she plucked off her gloves, Eric picked his up and peeled a crayfish, shoving it into her mouth.As Rosalyn's eyes widened, he started peeling another, sighing in exasperation as he did. "They all say that wives are difficult—see? Just say one thing that rubs her the wrong way, and now, she'

Eric ignored her, and Rosalyn knew what that meant.Even so, she strode over and sat opposite him. "You brought me here to see her, and I really want to see her right now. Can't we go right now?"She was being earnest, and her tears were threatening to roll even as she spoke.There was repression, grief, and just as much anticipation to see a long lost friend.That was when Eric asked casually, "And you think it's appropriate to drop in at the hospital for a visit near midnight?"Hearing that, Rosalyn knew they weren't going tonight.Still, back in Mediana, he brought her here on a plane as soon as she asked.That Eric was certainly different from the Eric now. If he didn't have multiple personalities, this could only mean he was messing with her on purpose—like how a cat would toy with a rat instead of killing it outright.And truth be told, that felt horrible.Rosalyn had come here after going seven years not seeing Laura, only for Laura to be out of reach when she was so cl

Rosalyn was left in a daze, but Eric was already on top of her, propping himself up with one hand while loosening his necktie with the other, his dark eyes sharp as a tiger's, ready to pounce.At that moment, Rosalyn got her answer. He wasn't teasing—he would really devour her.Even though she was prepared, she still couldn't help feeling repulsed and terrified deep inside her heart when it was really happening.She wouldn't mind giving herself to him if they were a normal married couple—she was already prepared to get over her past and start anew.But that was not the case for Eric.He married her for revenge, and his resentment was based on a misunderstanding."Are you sure about this, Mr. Hammond? Aren't you worried about letting Laura down?" Rosalyn asked.That simply left him chuckling coolly, and he threw his necktie to a corner of the bed while loosening his collar, revealing his alluring Adam's apple. "Are you scared? Is that it?"Knowing that quips didn't work against

Rosalyn blinked.If she was willing? So for Eric's revenge, he didn't just want her body, but he wanted her heart too? Wasn't he getting too arrogant?Nonetheless, Eric left, leaving Rosalyn alone just in the spacious room.It was breezy, causing goosebumps to appear on her exposed skin.She quickly pulled the blanket over herself and turned off the phone that was still ringing.-"We're sorry, the number you have dialed cannot be reached at the moment…"On the other end, Carl flung his phone violently away when his call reached the automated reply.Zoe sat nearby, watching as he snapped as if she were a mere bystander while twirling her wine glass stylishly. "I'm surprised Rosalyn is that good, making Eric Hammond fall head over heels for her in just a couple of days.""Shut up!" Carl wheeled on her, his eyes red.Zoe simply took a sip of her red wine before saying, "Do I really have to spell it out for you? You heard it yourself—Eric had Rosalyn beneath him. You've comple
