Chapter 62

When Aurelia saw that he was in an excellent mood, she was even more annoyed by her misunderstanding. Not only was she taken advantage of, but she was only allowed to follow Jacob’s orders.

It was completely different from what Aurelia had planned to achieve. No longer having the mood to socialize with him, she even glared at him with slight resentment.

“I’m just an ordinary woman. How dare I get angry at Mr. Miller?”

“Didn’t you say that you’re not angry? Your words sound resentful. That’s not something Aurelia would say. Weren’t you going to take a shower? I’ll carry you! Let’s go.”

“No! I can walk on foot!”

“Are you sure you want to walk on foot?” Jacob raised his voice and asked as his eyes blatantly roved over her body.

Aurelia couldn’t help but feel a cold feeling in the pit of her stomach when she noticed his gaze that was fraught with hunger and greed.

They had done it for a long time, but still, he looked dissatisfied. Aurelia hoped that she would not end up being pressed under him on the bed all night.

Despite that, her pride would not allow her to ask him to carry her to the shower. Even if Aurelia was willing to occasionally compromise, there were some things that her pride would not allow her to set down.

Besides, she had already felt that she had suffered enough from what happened today. Jacob, who was greedy and tireless, had gotten the upper hand. Still, how could he be reluctant to let her have this bit of freedom?

Aurelia was so angry that she felt speechless. She immediately ignored his reaction and bit her lips, unwilling to look at him.

Unexpectedly, her actions caused Jacob to burst into laughter immediately.

The next second, the water bed vibrated violently, and Aurelia suddenly felt her body being lifted into the air.

“Okay, I’ll go take a shower now. I will carry you and won’t bully you anymore, okay? Don’t be angry. We’ll go eat later. We didn’t have anything for lunch. After drinking and engaging in so much physical exercise in the afternoon, I’m feeling.

ravenous!”

Jacob’s tone made Aurelia even more speechless. She rolled her eyes and refused to talk to him.

“Physical exercise? He makes it sound like I begged him to do it. He was the one who refused to let me go! But he’s making it sound like I was the one who was super willing to go at it!” Aurelia thought.

The shower in the presidential suite was specially customized. No matter when the water came out, it was adjusted to a constant temperature, so there was no need to wait.

Jacob placed Aurelia’s body under the shower. The warm water immediately sprinkled it carefully and evenly, and then the shameless man squeezed himself in the next second.

Pushing at him, Aurelia complained, “Can’t you wait until I finish washing? It’s too crowded for two in here!”

“Is it crowded? Feels spacious to me.”

Jacob smiled as if he didn’t hear Aurelia’s complaint at all.

Aurelia glared at him angrily. “I just want to take a quiet shower. Mr. Miller, can you please let me finish my shower alone?”

Jacob looked at Aurelia with deep eyes. He suddenly reached out his hand and stroked the center of Aurelia’s eyebrows. The playful expression on his face disappeared, and he told her seriously, “Aurelia, I like you very much. You should come with me!”

Finally, he had said the words.

Although Aurelia had a premonition in her heart, she still couldn’t help but shrink away violently when she heard the words.

She looked up at Jacob, who was also naked in front of her. He had a high and broad forehead and full features. His eyebrows were not sharp like the eyebrows of most handsome men. In fact, they were far darker and denser.

Beside his eyebrows, there were almost no cluttered hairs. His eyes were also dark and deep, which looked very attractive.

Except for his eyes and eyebrows, the other features on his face were not as attractive. He did not have a pretty boy’s skin, and he was roughly five feet eight inches. Strictly speaking, his height was not top tier.

Perhaps it was due to his aristocratic family background, good environment, and childhood education, his temperament was far better than most people’s.

Standing in front of her like this, Aurelia had to agree with Jacob’s offer. In fact, it was very good.

Even without such a family background, his outgoing and leisurely personality was enough to attract the pursuit and love of many young girls. Not only did he have an attractive appearance, but his father was also the state governor of Nuthana.

Currently, Jacob was looking at her with a serious face. He had even asked her to come with him. If it had been another woman, they would surely be overjoyed. However, Aurelia found herself unable to accept this kind of blessing.

The life she wanted to live was a free and independent life. It wasn’t just physical freedom she sought, but also spiritual freedom.

She didn’t want to be regarded as some precious treasure by a man. Even if the man was so powerful that she didn’t have to work to get anything.

If the end result was going to be like this, it would not prove that her life was more valuable than others. She could only fall back into dependence and believe in a man, so she would be more imprisoned by both mental and material constraints.

Blind dependence and trust in Marcellus were the mistakes she had once made.

Being someone else’s lover and living behind the aura of another man turned her into a doll whereupon the man vented his desire. That was not the goal Aurelia had after her rebirth.

She knew that her body could be used as a bargaining chip and capital in exchange for certain benefits, and she did not disregard such an exchange.

However, it was only an exchange. Aurelia hoped to retain her full mental and physical autonomy of herself.

That was the bottom–line Aurelia set for herself.

Therefore, Jacob’s request was unacceptable to Aurelia. Almost immediately, she shook her head slowly but firmly in the warm curtain of water. “I’m sorry, Mr. Miller. I’m afraid I can’t agree to that.”
