Chapter 540 It'S My Turn To Protect You
Chapter 540 It's my turn to protect you
Douglas heard this and looked at Martha. It was very rare for Martha to have such a delicate appearance.
Douglas immediately blamed himself. What did he do in the past seven years, and what did he bring to Martha?
It was clear that she was not a stuffy and boring girl, but for the past seven years, she had disguised herself as that kind of person.
Douglas felt a strong heartache.
Martha didn't hear Douglas' answer, so she looked up at him, meeting his complex eyes.
In his eyes, she saw too much distress, which made her dazed for a moment.
She started to have random thoughts uncontrollably again, making her wonder if what she was thinking was correct, but she couldn't control herself at all.
Martha was inexplicably nervous. She wanted to ask about many things, but she couldn't.
She just looked at Douglas, hoping, at least before she lost his composure, that Douglas could give her a good answer.
However, no.
Nothing at all.
Douglas just looked at her like this for a long time, and said, "Let's eat. I happen to be hungry too."
For so many dishes, even if a chef was invited to cook, it still took some effort, not to mention Martha who didn't cook often.
In addition to the injury on her finger, it was conceivable that she put in much effort on cooking those.
Douglas was not willing to let her down.
He can perceive the reason why Martha cooked these.
In this way, Douglas didn't want to disappoint Martha even more.
Martha nodded and said, "Go and wash your hands first. I'll serve the meal."
Douglas responded, then went to the table and sat down.
Martha's cooking skills were very good, and every dish was delicious.
Just looking at the dishes was enough to arouse Douglas' appetite.
In fact, he came back after dinner, and it was rare for him to go home, so he was naturally kept.
He didn't expect that he would see those dishes when he came back. Otherwise, he would have come back early to prevent Martha from waiting for him. Martha quickly came over with two bowls of rice and sat down opposite Douglas.
She said, "During this time, you have been cooking for me. Today I will let you taste the food I cook."
Douglas looked at Martha. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. And he was pretending to be relaxed and teased, "Do you want to compete with me?" Martha tilted her head and said, "If you think about it that way, it's not impossible."
Douglas said, "You have already won."
Martha was amused by his words, and a little embarrassed.
The tips of her ears turned red. She looked down and used the spoon to stir the rice in the bowl, and her tone was full of coquettish anger, "Don't say that about me."
Douglas' eyes flashed with a stream of light. Martha in this appearance was very agile, like a little girl who had been praised, so cute.
Inexplicably, he really wanted to hide this girl in his own world, to prevent anyone from discovering her, and not to let anyone covet her. This beauty was only cherished by him alone. Such emotions surged up, but in fact there was no need to ask more. Douglas knew exactly what he wanted. Douglas laughed lowly and said, "What should I say? Should I give you a candy? Or give you a flower?" Martha frowned and said, "Actually, I'm allergic to hay fever, so I might not be able to afford the flower." Mentioning this, Martha felt a little lonely.
There was no girl who didn't like beautiful flowers, but Martha was that unlucky one, and her allergy was quite serious. These years, in order not to be discovered by Douglas that she was delicate, she had been taking anti-allergic drugs.
In fact, she had developed drug resistance, and many anti-allergic drugs had no effect on her.
The doctor had also reminded her that if this continued, her body will really have serious problems. However, Martha was still stubborn and insisted on taking anti-allergic drugs.
Now, just blurting out like this, Martha was actually very worried about what Douglas will think of herself.
Martha felt that she had really let herself free. In front of Douglas, she no longer hid anything. It was completely a kind of attitude that she was already like this, so it could not be worse. After hearing Martha's words, Douglas thought about all the things Martha had been exposed to in the past seven years. Flowers were common.
He didn't know if she had all the pollen allergies, or just one.
However, in the past seven years, whether she was attending events or simply giving gifts, it was not easy to avoid such common things as flowers. But, in the past seven years, Martha had never shown the slightest hay fever in front of him.
No need to ask, Douglas already knew why.
Douglas looked at Martha, and finally said, "You have worked hard for the past seven years."
Martha said she came to repay his favor, and Douglas believed it.
But he was not stupid enough not to understand what Martha thought of him.
He cherished it very much, and even felt extremely lucky because Martha did this to him.
However, Douglas will not be complacent because of this. For him, what was more important was that he cared about Martha and what she had done to him.
If she hadn't been forced to reveal her original face, Douglas didn't even know how long she would keep hiding herself like this.
Just thinking about it made Douglas feel bad.
Martha sensed the sourness in Douglas' eyes, and the deep regret.
She bit her lip and said, "Mr. Torres, you don't have to think that I sacrificed something. In fact, I'm fine. From my own point of view, I need to take those medicines not for work. After all, I can't hide myself in a sterile room."
She said it very easily, as if this matter should be like this.
Douglas, however, didn't think so.
In his view, there were better options for everything.
If Martha didn't work for him, she wouldn't have to bear these.
But, because she had to work for him, she took on these.
Douglas said, "Don't make this so simple. You and I are very clear, between you and me, you are the one who pays, and I am the one who gains. I'm not going to take any credit away from you, and you don't need to take all credit away from yourself by saying so."
When Martha heard this, she was inevitably touched.
Douglas' words were undoubtedly an affirmation of her past seven years, which was really very important to her.
It was also because of Douglas' words that Martha believed that her thirteen years of dedication had not been in vain.
Her eyes were moist and hot for a moment. Martha suppressed the tears welling up, and said to Douglas, "What I did is nothing compared to you saving my life."
If it wasn't for Douglas, she didn't know which swamp she was living in, and she might have been played to death long ago.
But now, she was alive and these were far more important than the thirteen years she had paid.
Therefore, Martha didn't think that she had anything to praise after working with Douglas for seven years.
To her, being by Douglas's side was the best thing that could have happened to her.
Douglas ached at the thought of her.
He said, "If you want to leave, I'll not agree, but in the future, I will protect you."
