Chapter 47: Chapter 47

"Get out of the car!"

His cold command echoed in her ears. Flora snapped back to reality and pushed open the car door to get out. Standing at the entrance of the house, she didn't know where to go or what to do. Her room on the second floor was no longer hers, and there was no place for her in the backyard!

Before she could come up with a plan, Maxwell forcefully grabbed her arm and dragged her towards the second floor. Once he pulled her into his room, he threw her onto the big bed.

Flora was horrified! She struggled to climb off the bed and angrily shouted, "Maxwell! What do you want? Why won't you let me go? If you want to have sex, there are plenty of women willing to accompany you. Ouch..."

Flora screamed as she was pushed back onto the bed, with Maxwell's strong body pressing on top of her. A flash of silver appeared, and a sparkling gold necklace was in front of her. It was the one she had given to Maxwell earlier today! Flora's heart skipped a beat, forgetting to struggle, staring at him breathlessly. Did he notice anything unusual about the necklace?

Sure enough! Maxwell glared at her angrily and gritted his teeth, "Do you dare deceive me with this trick? Hand over the other half!"

Flora froze for a moment, her mind quickly spinning, then decided to play dumb, "I don't understand what you're talking about. What other half?"

"The necklace is repaired! Do you still want to deny it?" Maxwell tightened his grip on her chin. He couldn't understand why Flora would do such a thing, and there was no reason for it. But for the sake of precaution, he still forced the question on her.

"When I got this necklace, it was already like this. I had no idea what happened!" Flora stubbornly replied. She couldn't admit it, as it would put Henry in danger again. Besides, she wasn't sure if she could retrieve the other half!

"You're saying you haven't touched the necklace?" Maxwell pressed again.

Flora shook her head and said with difficulty, "This necklace looks so ugly. I wore it for three days and then threw it at home. I never touched it again!" Except for the repair yesterday morning, she added to her mind.

"Hope you're telling the truth, or else...! You should know, I hate being deceived!" Maxwell gritted his teeth and finished his words. He released her jaw, stood up straight, and commanded coldly, "Go inside and take a shower!"

Flora hurriedly climbed off the bed, turned around, and rushed into the bathroom, afraid that he would see any traces on her face.

This scoundrel has been cheated by women many times, right? Otherwise, why would he hate deceiving so much?

She turned on the tap of the bathtub and unbuttoned her shirt one by one. The upcoming events made her heart pounding. Wasn't that curly-haired beauty enough for him? Why did he bring her into the room so eagerly?

Her small hand reached into her pocket, and an unusual touch made Flora freeze for a moment. She took out what was inside the pocket and held it up to her eyes, feeling so angry that she almost passed out! Oh my god! It turned out to be the half of the necklace!

The necklace was on her, and she had absolutely no idea. She stupidly went to repair the necklace and even told such a big lie! The lie had been told, should she still give him this half of the necklace? He just said he hates being deceived!

If he found out that she had just deceived him, with his personality, he would not let her off easily. He might even punish her severely! To save her life, she should carry on with the lie!

Thinking this, Flora hid the necklace back in her pocket. After taking off her clothes, she stepped into the bathtub. Nestling comfortably in the warm water, she lazily played with it, purposely making the process as slow as possible. Hopefully, he would be asleep by the time she got out!

However, her wish didn't come true. Half an hour later, the bathroom door was forcefully pushed open. Flora was startled and looked up to see Maxwell's icy handsome face staring at her with annoyance in his eyes!

Flora let out a low exclamation and instinctively grabbed a towel to cover her exposed chest above the water. With a flushed face, she glared at him and scolded, "Pervert! What are you doing coming in here?!"

"How do I know if you're not playing suicide here again?" Maxwell scornfully spoke, his gaze lingering on her delicate figure concealed in the water. Just by looking at her, a wave of intense desire surged within him!

He, who had never lacked beautiful women, unexpectedly had such a deep attachment and longing for this body that could not be considered perfect and had a hint of immaturity. This made even himself feel ridiculous and puzzled!

"Now that you've seen it, I'm not dead, so get out already?!" Flora angrily shouted, her face growing even redder from his scrutiny. She hunched her body, not letting him see her completely naked. Even though he had already seen her fully exposed, being this vulnerable made her very uncomfortable!

Maxwell took a step forward, leaning over the edge of the bathtub, ready to lift her out of the water. However, Flora forcefully pushed him to the side, shouting, "Get away from me! Don't touch me!"

Maxwell was pushed to the side by her sudden shove, stabilizing himself by holding onto the edge of the bathtub. Unluckily, the water from the shower happened to splash all over him. He stood up in anger, suppressing his rage and sneering, "Do you want us to have sex in the water? I don't mind!"

As he spoke, he started unbuttoning his black shirt, revealing his muscular chest, quickly discarding his wet clothes! Flora screamed as she stood up from the bathtub, wanting to escape in panic.

But as soon as one of her legs crossed over, she fell back into the water, along with his sturdy embrace. He had entered the water, was he planning to make love to her in the water? No way!
