All Chapters of Bared To Mr Edmund: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

For a very long moment, Kate just stared at him. Her widened eyes couldn't believe what she was seeing. Was she hallucinating? She asked herself. And maybe it was just that because she still felt like she might have a mild concussion from the fall. But then who had saved her and brought her home.Her mind waved off the obvious reason.For a moment, Kate stumbled, but he held unto her.“Slowly... You're to be resting.” He stated in a neutral tone.Kate felt stiff the moment his large hands touched her. She instantly felt a sense of euphoria, but she couldn't take her eyes off of him. So many things travelled back and forth inside her mind.He was alive. All this years, he was alive and not dead somewhere.And now she looked at his clothes. He was definitely a refined man. He had a full well-trimmed beard. His dark coat fitted perfectly across his broad shoulders. A finely tied cravat lingered at his throat, and his waistcoat was made up of such fine material that she could instantly t

“Melanie is my daughter.” Edmund stated.Kate still couldn't wrap her head around this fact. Was Edmund married? Who was Melanie's mother, and why wasn't she with Edmund and Melanie? Kate had numerous questions.“I see. She's a cute little girl.” Charlotte forced a smile on her face, while Melanie only looked back at her with her tongue sticking out.Edmund continued to feed Melanie, saying. “Princess, you have to eat now, daddy has to return to his research immediately.”Kate saw how Edmund acted around Melanie. So gentle and loving. Edmund really had changed.For a moment, only the sounds of forks and knives were heard, until Charlotte's expression changed suddenly.“What is this?...” Charlotte questioned, her voice scratched with some sort of irritation.“Ahh!...” Charlotte screamed, alerting Kate while Edmund and Melanie just turned to look at her.“What is this!?” Charlotte repeated, louder.Charlotte started coughing, feeling her throat with one hand, and reached out for some wa

While Kate was still awestruck by all of Edmund's accomplishments, she turned around and gasped a little the moment she spotted Melanie staring at her from a little far away.The way Melanie stared at her frightened Kate, and she wondered why the little girl didn't seem to like her. Again, the incident regarding the soup being too spicy played in her mind. Melanie was in the kitchen earlier.Kate walked towards her, got on one knee to be at her level and asked her softly with a smile.“Hello,” Kate wanted to begin a conversation. “Did you put something into the soup from earlier.”But all Melanie did was stick her tongue out and respond harshly with a deep frown. “You stay away from my daddy! Otherwise there'll be consequences.” Then she ran away.Kate blinked in shock. Never would she have imagined she'd threatened by a mere seven year old. And now if she wasn't sure earlier, now she was sure that Melanie pulled a prank on her by causing the soup to be spicy.That afternoon, Kate was

I smiled seeing Melanie having the strawberry ice cream. Taking her to an ice cream store was ideal to get her mind off for a while. She wasn't upset anymore after the incident back at that cursed mansion. I huffed each time I thought about it. I already knew it was all a lie to begin with. It was all absurd that they would dare try to frame Melanie for something as pathetic as stealing a brooch that didn't cost less than a few euros. But then I couldn't say anything. Or rather I chose not to. Anyways I wasn't planning on staying back in this cursed town either. The only reason I was here was for some medical emergency and that was all. I never wanted to return to this town. Everything about it, from the air itself down to the dirt on the ground, I detested it all. This town was awful to me and never understood me. I spot a few eyes on me at the park. Of course a lot of people are surprised that the danger kid is back after these years. And I'm sure they're more surprised that I wasn

I stayed close to the door, with my breath apparently stuck down in my throat. My eyes widened, and I thought I might have heard wrong. But no, Edmund's next words confirmed I wasn't hearing differently.“When I look at you, all I see is a cowardly man, a man who couldn't be faithful, and couldn't man up to admit when he was wrong. Instead, you blamed me constantly, accusing me of ruining your life with my mother. But I was the one who suffered because of you not always being at home. I hate you. I damn well despise you.”The hatred could be felt in his voice, but I was still too shocked to react or even move. Luckily my fingers gripped the tray I was holding because I don't know what would have happened otherwise.“But I am better. I became a well-known man around the world, even more than you could have ever been in all the years you worked hard. Now look at you, all pathetic and can't even move from the bed without an assistant.” Edmund laughed afterwards.I gulped and quietly walk
