Chapter 450

Vivian Bennett was trapped firmly in his embrace.

After struggling a few times to no avail, she simply gave up resisting.

She closed her eyes wearily.

Her voice was cold. "Do whatever you want. I'm tired and need to rest. Don't disturb me."

Having said that, she ignored his reaction and quickly feigned sleep.

Liam Sullivan's gaze lingered on her face for a long time.

Unfathomable emotions churned in the depths of his eyes.

He slowly raised his head and turned to study her sleeping face.

Though her eyes were closed, Vivian could clearly feel that scorching gaze.

She tried to ignore the discomfort but couldn't truly relax no matter what.

Since it had happened so many times already, why care about one more?

She kept persuading herself to accept reality.

Yet that gaze felt like needles piercing her heart.

After tossing and turning for what felt like an eternity, she finally couldn't take it anymore.

She opened her eyes. "What exactly do you want? If you want it, hurry up. Finish and leave quickly. Don't disturb my rest."

His heart stung from her sharp words.

He merely curved his thin lips. "Didn't you say it hurt? Have you forgotten so soon?"

Vivian bit her lower lip. "Would you really stop if I said it hurt?"

"I might. How would you know without trying?"

"Stop playing with me. Do it or get out."

"Like a dead fish. It kills my mood." His voice was lazy, tinged with indifference.

Vivian felt her chest tighten with anger.

Was she supposed to pretend to enjoy it?

This despicable man was utterly outrageous.

She sat up abruptly.

The thin quilt slid from her smooth shoulders, revealing her graceful curves.

Her black hair cascaded down, half-concealing the view of her chest.

"Where are you going?" Liam immediately asked alertly.

A trace of tension was detectable in his voice.

His eyes lingered on her snow-white skin.

His Adam's apple moved unconsciously.

Vivian turned her head and gave him a mocking sneer.

She got out of bed completely naked.

She stood before him without any attempt to cover herself.

"To the restroom. Afraid I'll run away? I can't escape like this, can I?" she said sarcastically.

She walked straight toward the bathroom.

Liam stared at her retreating figure.

His fists clenched unconsciously.

Vivian entered the bathroom.

She braced her hands against the sink.

Her naked reflection was clearly visible in the mirror.
