Chapter: 573
She could feel his warmth on her fingertips. After a brief pause, she heard Victor's deep, husky voice.
“I'm not burning up, right?
Whenever I'm drunk, I get hot. But since I'm not hot, that means I'm not drunk.”
Rachel was rendered speechless. He was practically burning up right now.
“Fine, you're not drunk. But I still want to rest, so get off me,"
Rachel replied, withdrawing her hand.
"No." Victor's face turned grim.
Rachel was starting to get annoyed that he was being so persistent.
Just when she was about to chastise him, Victor swept her off her feet.
Then, he carried her into the bedroom without even giving her a warning.
Instinctively, Rachel wrapped her arms around his neck. And before she could even get a word in, Victor gently put her on the bed.
“What are you planning to do, Victor?" Rachel became vigilant. She immediately sat upright, ready to get out of bed.
Her feet hadn't even touched the floor when Victor approached her and pressed her shoulders down, preventing her from getting up. Then, he leaned over and held her in his arms, effectively shackling her to the bed.
Rachel's eyes widened as she tried to push him away.
"What are you trying to do to me, Victor? Let go of me!" Her voice quivered as she thought of how Victor almost forced her into having sex with him in the car.
Upon noticing that she was trembling in his arms, Victor's heart ached.
‘Is she afraid of me?' he wondered.
“Wie...”
“Don't move." Victor cut her off and buried his face on her neck.
Rachel was feeling tense right now, so she couldn't move.
It worried her that if she moved again and annoyed him, he would hurt her. After all, drunk people were prone to irrationality.
As Victor embraced her, he slowly closed his eyes.
After a long time, Rachel's body started to feel numb. Victor was just hugging her and he didn't do anything else. The room fell into absolute silence, and all she could hear were the waves outside the window.
"Victor?" Rachel called out his name, wondering if he was still awake.
“Victor? Are you asleep?" She repeatedly called his attention, but he still didn't response.
