Chapter 96 - Miranda's Shame

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Clarence followed the sound to the kitchen, only to see Miranda crouching on the floor, looking a little distressed.

There was also an overturned frying pan on the floor.

Miranda was wearing a short pair of shorts. Her fair and beautiful legs were exposed, and she had a burn on her calf.

Clarence rushed over to turn off the gas and pick Miranda up off the floor.

“What are you doing?” Miranda was resisting him a little.

Clarence ignored her. He put one arm around Miranda’s tiny waist, wrapping the other around her legs. He walked out of the kitchen and put Miranda on the couch.

He took some ice out of the fridge and took out medicated oil and iodine.

Clarence crouched at Miranda’s feet while one hand took hold of her beautiful leg. Her skin was cold, smooth, and soft as silk.

Clarence felt a strange feeling overcome him.

However, he rubbed some iodine and medicated oil on her leg without giving it another thought.

“Ah… Ouch.”

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Miranda’s face, and she subconsciously grabbed Clarence’s shoulder.

“Just bear with it.” Clarence did not look up.

He put ice on her and carefully bandaged up her burn.

From where Miranda looked down, she could see Clarence’s serious profile. The woman’s heart throbbed.

Once he finished bandaging it, Clarence got up. “Be careful next time. Fortunately, the oil wasn’t very hot. The swelling should go down in a day or two.

“There’s nothing wrong with the skin, so there won’t be any scarring.

“Why didn’t you just wake me up if you wanted breakfast?

“Now this has happened after you entered the kitchen.

“What if the burn had left a scar?

“You’re too careless.”

Listening to Clarence’s mutters, Miranda’s heart warmed, but her mouth was still unforgiving. “Hmph! Aren’t you supposed to be the patient?

“I wouldn’t dare bother you!

“Maybe we would’ve gotten into an argument again if I made you get up and make breakfast.

“I might as well have done it myself!”

Without speaking, Clarence went into the kitchen, cleaned up the mess, and cooked up a breakfast feast.

Miranda was about to get up after breakfast, but her burn was hurting her.

“Ahh…”

Miranda’s calf lost strength. She was about to fall to the ground.

Like a swift whirlwind, Clarence lunged up to Miranda and put his arm around her tiny waist.

“What are you doing…”

Miranda pushed Clarence out of the way but could not keep her footing. She was about to fall again.

She subconsciously jumped into Clarence’s arms.

Clarence felt nothing but softness against his chest as he circled his arm back around her. “What else can I do? I’m just scared you’ll fall.”

He felt a fire in his heart.

His heart had started beating wildly.

“You…” Miranda was a little embarrassed. She subconsciously thought that Clarence was trying to take advantage of her. “Let me go.”

Clarence slowly let Miranda go.

Miranda held on to the table, looking helpless. “What do we do? Look at what’s happened to my leg. I have to meet an important client today.”

“Can’t you take a rain check?” Clarence frowned.

Miranda shook her head. “I’m afraid I can’t. They’re the project manager of Horizontal River Property Development Group, and this meeting is very important for my company.

“I’ll be able to hold my head high in the Murphy family once I ace this.

“Unfortunately, this happened.

“I’ll never get a chance like this again if I don’t go today.”

Clarence knew that Miranda had always been competitive. She looked like a strong woman to outsiders.

“Oh, I’ll take you there,” Clarence sighed.

He had nothing to do anyway. Thirteen Hall was still under renovation, so it was alright for him to meet a client with Miranda.

“Okay.”

Miranda nodded, looking a little hesitant. “I can’t go there dressed like this, can I? I’m going to the second floor to change first.”

She was wearing short white sleeves and short shorts, showing off her impressive S-shaped figure.

“Yeah.”

Without saying much, Clarence turned around and lowered himself into a half-squat. “Get on me.”

“Oh.”

Miranda hesitated for a second before getting on Clarence’s back and wrapping her arms around his neck.

Clarence grabbed the woman’s thighs and picked her up on his back.

He could feel the woman tremble.

Without thinking much about it, Clarence carried the woman to the room on the second floor and put her down on the bed.

“Turn around while I change,” requested Miranda.

Clarence went straight to the door, walked out of the room, and closed the door.

After a few minutes, Miranda’s voice came from the room. “Clarence, come in and help me.”

“What’s the matter?”

“I can’t use my feet, so I can’t get my pants on.” Miranda was a little embarrassed.

Clarence pushed the door open to find Miranda sitting on the edge of the bed, her upper torso already in a woman’s suit.

However, she could not put on her pants, and they were stuck.

Miranda’s suit had been custom-made to fit her figure.

She had to get up to put it on.

However, she had burnt her calf. The pain was so intense that she could not stand up and put her pants on.

She had wanted to wear a hip-hugging skirt but now could not, with her burnt calf. Wearing a skirt would ruin the aesthetic of her outfit, so she could only wear pants.

Clarence stood in the doorway, looking at Miranda in surprise.

Miranda was wearing only a pair of black lace underwear. Her suit pants were stuck around her thighs.

“What are you still doing standing there? Come here and help me.” Miranda blushed.

“Oh.”

Clarence nodded somewhat stiffly, walked up to Miranda, and slowly crouched down.

From Clarence’s position, he looked straight forward and saw something he should not have seen.

To make matters worse, Clarence had focused subconsciously and had instantly used his x-ray vision.

Miranda brought her legs together and snapped, “What are you looking at? Why aren’t you helping me with my pants?!”

Clarence smiled awkwardly and blushed a little.

He had Miranda lie flat on her back and slowly pulled her pants up.

Clarence’s hand touched Miranda’s thigh.

The woman’s beautiful body trembled as if she had received an electric shock.
