Chapter 187: Chapter 187: I Want to Take a Bath

Translator: 549690339

Just as his hand was about to reach out, Emily Walker felt embarrassed and quickly said, “I’m fine, this blood isn’t mine…”

Thinking of the drunken man who had bitten and gnawed at her clavicle, Emily felt an extreme discomfort and disgust.

“I… I want to take a bath…” she said with a trembling voice, because her emotions were not yet completely stable.

Baron Stuart looked at her and whispered softly, “Alright.’

Upon getting his consent, Emily tried to get off the bed and go to the bathroom, but Baron Stuart scooped her up and carried her directly to the bathroom.

Once in the bathroom, Baron Stuart put her in the large bathtub and then took the showerhead to wash the blood stains off her body.

Even in the bathtub, Emily was still reluctant to take off the suit she was wearing. Of course, the main reason was that Baron Stuart hadn’t left, and she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

Even though he had already seen her body, at this moment, she still felt shy. Coupled with the lingering shadow of what had happened, her emotions had not yet fully settled.

“I, I can handle it myself…” After saying that, Emily reached out to take the showerhead from his hand.

Baron Stuart refused, his tone gentle but with an undeniable dominance, “I’ll do it.”

Emily was stubborn and insisted on not letting him help.

If he didn’t give her the showerhead, she simply wouldn’t take off her suit, tightly wrapping herself in it.

Seeing her silent and looking so defiant, Baron Stuart felt defeated for the first time.

“I’ll be outside, call me if you need me,” he said softly as he looked at her.

This time, Emily nodded obediently. As long as he left, everything would be fine, and she wouldn’t need to call for him anyway.

Handing her the showerhead, Baron Stuart turned and left the bathroom.

With him gone, Emily began to wash away the various stains of blood on her body. Just thinking about the drunk man’s saliva made her feel extremely disgusted and no matter how hard she scrubbed, she couldn’t seem to wash away the disgusting feeling.

Half an hour later, after washing with warm water, the bloodstains on her neck were cleaned. However, Emily still didn’t feel it was enough and continued to scrub vigorously with a towel. Her fair skin turned red from the scrubbing, almost breaking the skin.

Baron Stuart, sitting on the sofa outside the door, couldn’t help but worry as she took so long. Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly heard a burst of cellphone ringtone.

Following the sound, he saw the small purse that Emily had been carrying at the wedding banquet lying on the bed.

He got up and walked over, opened the purse, and pulled out the cell phone. He glanced at the caller ID, which showed: Sister Carter.

After a moment of silence, Baron Stuart slid the answer button.

“Hello? Emily, where are you?” Antonio Bailey’s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, as the wedding banquet was about to end and she still couldn’t find Emily.

As she had seen Emily with Baron Stuart earlier and couldn’t find her even after checking the restroom, Antonio couldn’t help but worry.

“She’s fine,” Baron Stuart’s deep voice sounded through the phone.

Without waiting for Antonio to speak, he hung up the call.

Looking at the disconnected cell phone, Antonio was momentarily stunned.

Adrian Nash and Rosanne Nichols, who were by her side, hurriedly asked, “What happened? Did you find Emily?”

As Emily had disappeared during her own wedding banquet, Rosanne was also worried.

Antonio came to her senses and looked at Adrian Nash and Rosanne, saying blankly, “A man answered her phone. He said she’s fine…”

Hearing it was a man, Adrian naturally thought of Baron Stuart.

Indeed, Emily was with him. From the very beginning, Adrian was destined to be the losing side..
