Chapter 16: Gentle and Indulgent Morning _ 1
[Margaret’s POV]
When I opened my eyes, Donald was sleeping beside me.
This experience was new. His arm was around my waist, and my hand was pressed against his strong chest. In front of me was his tall nose and handsome face. I saw that he had opened his eyes too. I liked Donald’s eyes. He always had eyes for me.
“Morning, Margaret,” I hear Donald say vaguely, with a hint of laziness that he hadn’t regained consciousness in the morning.
“Morning, Donald.”
Morning time was always precious. We knew we couldn’t stay in bed too long. Especially Donald. He had things to do the entire day. In fact, I had a lot to deal with. I left with Donald like that last night. I couldn’t leave the rest of the preparations to Elizabeth. Elizabeth would kill me.
“Oh…” I looked at the clothes I removed yesterday and fell into a predicament. Yesterday, Donald refused to let me go back. I didn’t have clothes I could replace now. I couldn’t wear that rag anymore. It really looked terrible. I even thought that even if I went back wrapped in a sheet, it would be better than wearing the clothes from yesterday.
“Well, I’ll get someone to bring you some clothes.” Donald obviously saw what was going on with me, but damn, he didn’t look guilty. He didn’t seem to realize at all that it was all his fault that I was stuck in my room like this and couldn’t get out.
I looked at him angrily. I had no choice but to wrap myself in the blanket. Thanks to him, I only had a camisole and a pair of panties on me now. There was no way I could get out of here.
“Oh, Margaret, don’t look at me like that.” Donald, who had already changed, winked at me. “I can’t not go today. You’ll delay me.”
I saw a big bulge under his pants and quickly turned to look out the window. Okay, I had to admit, I kind of wanted it too. How could I reject Donald? But we couldn’t be in bed all day. We couldn’t.
I felt a kiss on my cheek. It was Donald.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you.”
Donald said to me.
When there was a knock at the door, I put on the clothes I had worn yesterday to open the door for the other party. I had no choice. I couldn’t meet a stranger in a camisole and underwear. But I didn’t expect that the person Donald had sent to give me clothes was Elizabeth.
I did keep telling him yesterday that I wanted to see Elizabeth. But meeting Elizabeth in the house where it was obvious what Donald and I had done was embarrassing.
When Elizabeth saw me, she frowned. “Oh my god, why are you still wearing this?!”
She strutted into the house and looked around. She looked at me in disbelief. “You and the Lycan King really…? Oh my god!”
I knew she was going to say this. Before I could figure out how to answer her, I reached for the things she had brought me. I opened the bag and rummaged through the contents.
I was thankful that she didn’t bring me her over-the-top clothes. They were all my usual style. But before I could finish talking, I saw something that didn’t belong to me in the bag.
It was a pair of four-inch pink high heels! Their pink diamonds reflected a different color under the light, and they were dazzling. I looked at them like I was looking at a devil.
“What is this!?”
I shouted to Elizabeth.
“I brought you shoes.” Elizabeth shrugged. “The Lycan King asked me to bring a set of clothes. I thought you needed shoes too. I also brought you some toiletries. It took me a while to find my shoes. If I had found them yesterday morning, I wouldn’t have had to wear your pink flats. Aren’t they much better looking than yours?”
I looked at her in disbelief. She had actually given me her shoes. What the hell was she thinking?
“I’m not going to wear these shoes,” I replied stiffly. I began to change into the clothes Elizabeth had brought for me. I took out the cleansing milk, skincare tonic, and moisturizer she had brought for me and went into the bathroom to wash up.
“Alright, do as you wish. Then wear your Cinderella straw sandals and wait for the Lycan King to turn them into crystal shoes.” Elizabeth said angrily, “You know how busy I’ve been since yesterday. I’ve had to handle so many things that came my way, but I still have to deliver clothes here and listen to your nitpicking.”i
“So what did you deal with?” I asked as I applied the cream on my face in a circular motion with my fingers.
“Nothing! I don’t know anything. I didn’t interfere with anything from the beginning to the end. Now everyone is asking me, how would I know what to do?” Elizabeth was as self-righteous as ever. “Margaret, you have to go back and deal with these things. You can’t throw them to me like this.”
