Chapter 920 Behaving Like A Wolf.

Carla felt that Steven was being unusually cold. She came up closer to him and examined him from head to toe.

"Steven, are you sure you are okay?" Carla asked in a concerned tone. "What kind of drug did Lori give you? Should I look for an antidote for you?" Carla asked again when she found that Steven did not answer.

Steven closed his eyes and let out a slow, deep breath. His chest moved up and down.

"What do you think, Carla?" Steven asked.

Then all of a sudden, he opened his eyes and sprang up to stand right in front of Carla. He pulled Carla into his arms and held her tight so that she could feel the heat from his body. Unexpectedly, Carla found herself much too close to Steven for comfort, downright inappropriate.

"What do you expect from Lori considering she is Lucia's sister?"

Steven said in a hoarse voice looking down at her. His warm breath spread over her forehead.

Carla's heart jolted at this sudden and unanticipated gesture by Steven. For a moment she was too shocked to even react to it. Then she tried to push away his hand and asked, "Do you mean she put the same drug in your drink again?" She helped Lori drug him earlier.

Carla struggled hard to free herself from his grasp.

"I'm afraid there's nothing I can do for you, Steven. Now let me go, please. It's time for me to leave."

Carla said trying with all her might to get rid of his hands around her waist but failed. Steven's fingers almost dug into her skin making it difficult for her to even make a slight movement.

"Callie, I can't take this anymore. What should I do?"

Steven whispered into her ear. He suddenly remembered hearing someone calling her Callie. He felt it was a rather cute name for her.

Carla gave him a perplexed look and retorted, "What should you do? You should know how to solve it by yourself! You are a grown-up man. By now, you should've learned how to please yourself."

Carla said in a stern and indifferent tone, just like she used to talk to him earlier.

Steven had his eyes fixed on her as he marked the usual detached attitude that Carla always used to keep him away. He felt the same sting in his heart that he had always been hiding behind his noble smile. Now, he was tired of it. A smile spread on his face. And then he lifted Carla and carried her to the bed. He wrapped her with a quilt, and then pressed her on the bed.

"Steven! What are you doing? Stop it!"

Carla didn't see it coming and was completely taken aback. She stared at him in utter disbelief and anger.

Steven turned a deaf ear to her protest and even avoided making eye contact with her. Instead, he picked up a long bandage and wrapped Carla along with the quilt.

He had a strong urge to tie her up directly, but he wa

on her shoes without even trying to get the socks. Then she walked towards the door, snorting, "No, I'm afraid you would be suffocated by the smell!"

Seeing her leave, Steven looked at the socks in his hand and chuckled.

At the door, Carol was pacing up and down anxiously. She let out a sigh of relief as soon as she saw Carla coming out of Steven's room.

"… Oh, Ma'am, you scared the hell out of me!"

Looking at the closed door of Steven's room Carol had almost believed that Carla was really going to stay there for the night. And if she had to return to JA City alone, how could she explain this to Terence?

"What? Don't you have faith in me?"

Carla asked, adjusting her clothes.

"It's not that I don't have faith you. I'm just afraid that you won't be able to resist the temptation from Mr. Su."

Carol forced a smiled on her otherwise petrified face and wiped the sweat that had formed on her forehead. Indeed, it was hard for women to be able to resist a handsome man like Steven.

Carla took brisk strides ahead and asked, "Carol, who according to you is more attractive, Terence or Steven?"

"Err..." Carol paused for a while and said, "Unquestionably, Ma'am, Mr. An is very handsome. And not only that, he is also intelligent and wealthy. Most of all, he loves you deeply. I think he is truly unmatched in every aspect.

As for Mr. Su, although he doesn't have a rich and powerful background, even he is very talented, bright and charming. There must be so many women swooning over him."

"There is no room for any comparison between the two of them. Each brilliant in his way." Carol added.

Carla stopped and turned to look at Carol. "But for me, they are poles apart from each other. The difference indeed is too big."

"Oh? Really, ma'am? What's the difference?"

Carol asked curiously.
