Chapter 276 - Shower 2

Eliot wiped her mouth with a napkin after she finished drinking. He looked at her for a moment and said, "You've lost weight recently. You now have a thinner chin."

Emily had been exercising these past few days. Her originally fleshy face had been slimmed down a bit, making her pair of big eyes exceptionally black and bright. At this moment, she slightly narrowed her eyes that he could not see the gloss in her eyes clearly.

Emily took the napkin and lowered her head. "I'll do it myself."

Eliot was slightly stunned. In the past, Emily had never refused him. Now, she seemed to have her own mind that she would go wherever she wanted. She no longer stayed up late waiting for him, nor she hugged his arms and acted coquettishly when seeing him. It seemed to be a long time since the last time she called him brother.

Since when, exactly, did his little girl seem to have stopped being ...... so intimate with him?

"Do you want to take a bath?" Eliot sat down on the chair and said, "Go ahead. I'll sit here for a while."

Emily put down the cup and looked at him blankly.

Eliot waved his hand and said, "Nothing special. I haven't sat down with you for a long time to have a good chat. You go take a shower first. I'll just read here."

"..."

Emily's expression was somewhat ... subtle. She obediently took the rabbit pajamas and went into the bathroom. As she closed the door, she saw Vincent leaning against the washstand in the bathroom with one leg slightly bent, fiddling with her rabbit headband.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he tilted his head slightly to look over. He was handsome, with deep facial features, black eyebrows and tall nose. He pursed his lips. Probably because it was a little hot in the bathroom, he took off his coat, only wearing a black shirt. He unbuttoned his collar and stood sideways. Emily could see his Adam's apple from that angle.

'Probably because we hadn't seen each other for too long.' Emily thought. 'Otherwise, why would she want to hug Vincent like this?'

Emily pretended to be calm as she took out her phone and texted Sydnee, "Call my brother."

Sydnee was puzzled, but she did not call back, only texting to ask, "Why?"

"Find a topic to chat with him for half an hour." Emily sent another message.

Sydnee broke down, "It's impossible! I can't say more than three sentences to him!"

However, Emily never replied after that message.

Sydnee bit her finger and thought for a moment. She browsed through the address book for a while before she finally found Eliot's name. With determination, she called him.

After Emily finished texting, she leaned against the door, attending to his movements outside. Sure enough, not long after, Eliot stood up, opened the door and walked out.

Emily sighed with relief before she looked up at the man leaning against the washstand. His two long legs were exceptionally attractive, which revealed powerful lines of muscles through his trousers.

From a distance, it was impossible to discover that this leg was injured.

"Aren't you going to take a bath?" Vincent filled the bathtub, then looked at her meaningfully. "What about showering together?"

"..."

Emily knew his principles and was not afraid of him at all.

She stood there and began to undress one by one. Then, she stepped on the carpet barefoot, walked to the bathtub, and slightly leaned over to felt the temperature of the water.

She bent down, revealing her thin back, and her white jade-like skin shone seductively under the light. She lifted her leg and entered, her white and tender feet rippling the clear water.

Vincent stood behind her, gasping. He looked up, only to see the little woman sitting in the bathtub provocatively saying to him, "Come on."

Her smooth black hair draped over her shoulders, against which her small face appeared paler. Her big eyes were black and bright, and had a sly glint in it now. A sparkling droplet of water fell on the tip of her curved nose. Her rosy lips were slightly open, and he could see her pink cute tongue.

Vincent looked at her and gritted his teeth secretly, as if with great determination.

A coquettish woman.

Vincent didn't shower with her, but ... helped her take a bath.

He covered her whole body with bubbles. His large palm with a thin cocoon seemed to be on fire, burning her skin wherever he touched. At first, Emily could endure it, but she couldn't help but laugh later. Because it was too itchy, she dodged. And she fell into it carelessly because of the slippery bathtub.

She sat up after drinking a few mouthfuls of bath water, but before she could breathe, her lips were covered again.

...

When Eliot received Sydnee's phone call, he was nervous for he thought that she had met Marquise again. He asked as he went downstairs, "Where are you now?"

Sydnee, "At home."

Eliot paused, "Is he at your door?"

"Who?" Sydnee was confused.

"... Marquise." Eliot asked hesitantly, "Not Marquise?"

"Oh." Sydnee finally found an excuse. "Yes, it's him. I just met him again, and I was a little scared. I..."

"Where is he now?" Eliot asked.

"He seems to still be at the door." Sydnee lied, covering her face.

"I'll be right there." Eliot took the car keys.

Sydnee was nervous, "Hey, wait a moment!"

According to what Emily said, she only needed to chat with him for half an hour. It shouldn't be like this!

"What's the matter?"

"I mean, what if you come over and fight again?" Sydnee came up with a good excuse, "You'd better not come."

"No." Eliot said, "I won't fight."

"What if he fights? Or what if he forces you to do it?" Sydnee talked sense slowly.

"That's my business, as long as you're not hurt." Eliot thought she was worried about him and smiled gently, "Don't worry about me."

'You thought too much. I really wasn't worried about you."

Sydnee laughed awkwardly, "I'm fine."

"If you're really fine, you won't call me."

'Your sister asked me to do so! It was your sister!'

"You're not a pretentious girl."

'Thank you for your insight.'

"I'll drive over immediately. Wait for me. I'll hang up first." Eliot had arrived at the garage, hung up the phone and got into a car.

"Wait!" Sydnee looked at the hung phone call, thinking to herself worriedly, 'Emily's brother is coming!'

What was going on?

Where could she find Marquise now?

If Eliot came over and saw no one, wouldn't he suspect her?

No. That was not the most serious problem now. What would her parents think if Eliot appeared at their doorstep at night?

She was washed up!

Sydnee's brain was in a mess. She struggled for a moment before calling Emily, trying to get his sister to call Eliot back.

However, nobody answered as she called for many times.

When she was on the edge of breakdown, Emily finally answered. "Emily! Tell you what, your brother is coming to my house soon. Hurry up and call him back..."

"She's taking a bath.." A low, seductive male voice came from the other end of the phone.
