Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle! - Chapter 296

“……..”

“I mean I can not drink the water comfortably! What if it got stuck in my windpipe and it only worsened my situation!?”

The way he said that, she did not have any report as concern filled her eyes. With pursed lips, she stood up but when she was about to turn she heard another snap and this time her hands moved instinctively towards her dress with the speed of lightning as she felt it leaving her skin,

The glass in her hands fell on the floor with the sound of “clink!” and her eyes widened. Horror filled her eyes when she realized that the threads of the dress that was keeping everything at her place was torn and she could not tie her dress again.

Her eyes turned instantly teary as she looked around with fear.

Leo, who felt she was going to make an excuse and play a trick on him, was stunned when he saw her eyes welled up.

“Evan.. what happened?” he stood up abruptly, completely forgetting that he was acting to be hurt and injured.

But just as he took a step forward, she took a step back with horror. Last time she was under the effect of drugs, so her diluted mind had not touched her clothes and the condition she was in.

But right now, she was in her senses and scared. She was standing in an office with a torn dress with only him and her alone!

The man stopped in his tracks when he felt the fear crawling in her eyes. The way she took a step back was defensive!

“Evan!” he had noticed the peculiar way she held her dress. He knew that there was something wrong with her clothes but if she would not let him help, how would he? Did she not trust her enough? He had thought that they had already crossed that stage.

His eyes darkened with that thought but a list of helplessness could be felt in them.

He stopped and took out his coat and instead of walking towards her, he forwarded the coat to her!

But she only looked at him with frail eyes and took no initiative to hold it. She was holding the back of her dress with both of her hands!

She was not sure if the front part of her dress would stay at its place if she let go of any of her hands.

They both locked their eyes but did not say a word for long. As if their hearts were talking to each other.

Leo’s gaze was so darkened, if anyone would see him, they would think he wanted to kill the entire world while her eyes had turned red due to the tears and embarrassment.

“Evan! Stay right there!” Though it sounded dominating, it was filled with worry and a lot of emotions she could not even understand but she closed her eyes and did not reply.

This time when he took a step towards her, she did not move but closed her eyes. Taking a deep breath he reached his back and red filled his eyes when he saw all the threads were torn, not a single one was left and her corset and dress had fallen completely.

Her white and blemish free skin was visible to his eyes. He could even see the structure of her backbone and the little flesh she had around her waist.

His Adam apple bobbed up and down when his heated gaze lingered on him for more than required and he started to feel hot but remembering how her eyes were full of fear, he controlled his emotions and closed his eyes.

Evan could feel the intensity of his look but did not utter a word. Her eyes were rummaging so hard in her chest that she could not explain her thoughts.

But the wait was killing her! Just when she thought that she should ask him for a coat, his cold hands touched her warm skin and she shivered.

But soon the touch of his skin was replaced by the clothing. He had wrapped her in his coat.

His oversized coat was reaching upto her thighs and had covered her back completely, yet she was still afraid to let go.

“If I moved my hands away, the front of my dress would fall too!” her trembling voice filled him with rage.

He ran a hand in his hair and scanned around to see if there was something that could help her!

“Do you have a spare dress?” he asked as he did not find anything appropriate. They only have a single spare dress of his father there!

Though he already knew it, he still felt disappointed when she shook her head.

“I am sorry!” feeling his anger, she couldn’t help but apologize. Though she was a free spirited girl, she was still very conscious of making mistakes as she remembered how she could be punished!

And this.. How would she even leave the office! Everyone would look at them with wide eyes and rumors started to spread if they asked for another dress to be brought or she walked out this way!

Even Leo was at the end of his wits as he did not have any girl that could help him. He hardly knew girls there.

“Can you arrange a needle and thread for me?” Just when he was thinking of arranging a knight’s uniform for her, her voice rang in his ears and he nodded his head.

“Hmm, every office keeps it in case the buttons turn loose but I do not think it would be enough to hold your dress!” if those strong threats were torn how would these weak would be able to hold it!

“Can you give me your clothes for a while?”
