Chapter 940
She had too little experience with men, and although she had a cold personality, she was not a person who knew how to hide something or tell lies. So, unconsciously, Lauren lowered her head with guilt and clearly avoided his gaze.
His eyes narrowed, and the heartwarming image of her sitting on his lap back in the prison flashed through his mind. He knew that something was wrong.
Was she not used to it? They were already so close to each other that she even got pregnant with his child. How could she tell him that she was not used to it? What made her become so awkward then?
Was it because of the change in environment?
"Is that so?"
Willy murmured and his rough palm gently touched her delicate face. He softened his voice and said,
"Then shall we get used to it again?"
After he spoke, his lips slowly lowered and fell onto her beautiful lips. Suddenly, Lauren gave him a push. When she realized it, everything felt like just the beginning. She took a big step back and distanced herself from him. The alertness and anger appeared in her eyes again.
When their eyes met, Willy's expression changed instantly.
Without saying a word, he took another step forward. Time seemed to have really returned to when the two of them first met. Like a game of mouse and cat, after a few tries, the result was still the same in the end. Lauren was still one step behind. He put the back of his hand on her and hugged her tightly. All of a sudden, she frowned in anger.
"Let me go!" She yelled.
Why was she always slower than him and why was it that she just couldn't avoid his attack? The strong sense of defeat made her even angrier.
Holding her tightly while he locked her in, Willy leaned his head against her neck that smelled nice and asked, "Why are you trying to get rid of me all of a sudden?"
What had happened? The judgment had not even been passed yet, and she was already stopping him from touching her? Why was she being so cold and difficult? He had barely made her open up to him, and then she was distancing herself again.
"If you don't have any motives, will you approach me? Since your goal has already been achieved, why are you still doing this? I'm out of prison, and I will do what I promised to. I will surely show you the results. After all, is there anyone who can take advantage of Mr. Bowles? I don't like to be too close to strangers!"
Especially men, men like him!
It was pathetic to be a frog at the bottom of the well! The prison was once the "well" that she got stuck in!
Willy was obviously shocked when he heard the coldness and distance in her tone. He turned around and looked at her face to face. He spoke in a low and displeased tone,
"Strangers? Laurie, you're carrying my child in your womb, and yet you are saying that?"
"The child is just a piece of... flesh that temporarily exists and is being used! You're using it, and so am I!"
Lauren's tone was ruthlessly cold. Her expression didn't change at all. She even gave off the impression that she didn't care and might not want to carry on with the pregnancy at any time. However, unconsciously, her fists clenched tightly.
The next second, a burst of anger came, and her shoulder seemed to be crushed with great force suddenly. "How dare you?"
The unprecedented anger made Willy's face turn dark. He yelled angrily, "Don't you dare touch the child. Do you hear me?"
Although her words were unintentional and purely out of anger, Lauren still stubbornly pursed her lips.
She didn't know why, but at that moment, it was as if she was possessed. She only wanted to be on opposite terms with him. She didn't want to go along with what he wanted!
Willy was irritated by her reaction. He gritted his teeth and said, "Lauren! If you dare to hurt my child, I will make sure that you will bear the consequence! I will do what I say!"
Willy was furious, but Lauren was as cool as a cucumber. She didn't make a sound and just turned her head away. Suddenly, a gush of anger rushed into his head, giving him a splitting headache.
"Lauren..."
He put his hand on her jaw.
"Don't show me your temper! I hate women like this the most! Are you ignoring my words? Do you think that I need you, and that's why I can't leave you? Do you think that I dare not do anything to you?"
Clenching his teeth, Willy suddenly increased the strength of his grip, but in an instant, his mind went blank.
It was because at that moment, he really couldn't do anything to her!
As the saying goes, one hand cannot clap. However, at that time, she didn't even look at Willy. The more silent Lauren was, the angrier Willy was. She looked like an old monk who knew exactly how to deal with him. The feeling of being ignored completely made him very displeased.
What kind of attitude was that?
"Say something! Are you trying to make me kick you out?" Her eyes moved, but Lauren once again pressed her lips together, with a touch of shallow grievance flashing in her eyes.
Seeing that she finally had some reactions, Willy once again pressed on, "Don't act like a mute! Either you speak, or..."
"You don't have to chase me out. I'll leave on my own!"

As she shouted, Lauren pushed him away all of a sudden. In front of the wardrobe, she pulled out a bag and quickly changed into the only set of clothes she had when she was released from prison. Within a short while, she packed her things. Then, she swung her hands and threw aside the keys, bank cards and everything that he had given her, be it valuable or not. Then, she
immediately put on her shoes.
It all happened in the blink of an eye, and Willy was stunned, staying in the same spot. He did not move until she left and slammed the door with a loud bang.
"Laurie?" She really left!
That d*mned woman! Why was she acting like that? Where did she want to go so late at night?
With a few big strides, he rushed to the door. He held the doorknob, but then he stopped. He slowly turned back, and his eyes fell on the things that were scattered on the ground and the table.
What was he nervous about? If she didn't have money, how far could she run away to?
He had investigated her before! Her life was too simple. Apart from Zedd, her house was in a poor condition, and her life at the university's research institute, her life was monotonous and she only had books with her!
The investigation had also mentioned that she was a loner and was not good at social interactions!
However, such a person was not only a senior researcher, but also an excellent teacher. She taught very well, and the results of her teachings were agreeable.
What a strange woman!
Why did he develop feelings for such a bad-tempered woman who didn't even talk much, someone who others saw as a monster?
Actually, when she was quiet, her occasional soft-spoken tone when she spoke was cute and charming!
Her voice was very pleasant!
All of a sudden, the image of her
once squatting at the side of the road waiting for him after the party and her miserably saying "I have no money flashed across his mind. In an instant, most of Willy's
nov
nervousness was gone.
"Running away just because of a disagreement! What a bad temper! Who was it who spoiled you so much? I should fix that for you!"
Willy tapped his head and took a deep breath. He thought for a while and slowed down his steps.
