I will Love You Forever - Chapter 154
Kara stayed indoors all through because of some obvious reasons, she didn’t want to bump into Qin. She sat up on the bed and wondered, ‘Why did he become nice all of a sudden? I think I prefer his serious face that this pitiful gaze.’ she widened her eyes and looked furious. “Wait! Is he pitying me because of my condition? Tsk how dare he?” she scoffed.
If there was anything she hated, it was someone pitying her because of her condition. It made her feel weak and inferior.
She hugged her pillow and squinted her eyes while in deep thought. ‘Then why does my heart beat so fast when I see him?’ she wondered.
Frustrated, she groaned and hit her bed repeatedly like a child. Her hair soon spread all over the place and her lips pouted.
“Ha! You want to be nice to me now?” she scoffed looking like the devil plotting her next skim. The side of her lips curled upwards and her eyes looked determined.
“Let’s see how long you can hold up.” she smiled like a maniac then laid back on her bed with the pillow over her head.
Qin sat in the living room with Johnathan. He anxiously waited for Gerard to come home with something useful. Although Gerard had told them that he was going to Salem, he never said why he was going to that far rural place.
He was getting nervous because it was already evening and he feared that Kel would be back for Kara as soon as the sun disappeared from the sky.
“Calm down. I’m sure Gerard would come as soon as possible with something tangible.” Johnathan was equally worried but he didn’t want to make it obvious.
Qin stood up abruptly, “I should watch her from now. We can’t be sure when Kel would visit.” he didn’t want to say that waiting was killing him and that was why he made up an excuse to stay with her.
Johnathan simply nodded and Qin walked to her room. He knocked on the door but go no response which was strange. He knocked again but still got no response. He got worried that something bad might have happened to her and Immediately opened the door without thinking.
Qin searched around the room but couldn’t find her anywhere. He panicked and wondered what could have happened.
He sighed then focused to sense her smell but her scent was all over the room. This was harder than he thought just as he opened his eyes, he heard the sound of water dripping.
Kel liked water and she was probably already feasting on Kara in the bathroom. Without thinking twice, he walked into the bathroom only to find Kara with a towel barely covering her legs and one on her head.
Kara turned around only to find him standing there with a shocked expression. She looked at her him then at her towel and yelled at him. “What the f… What are you doing here?” she ran behind the bathtub curtain and glared daggers at him.
” I’m sorry. I didn’t think…” he turned around and was about to leave when he heard a knock on the bathroom door. His eyes widened and so did hers.
He didn’t know what people would think if they saw the two of them in the bathroom like this. He didn’t know where to hide either.
“Maam Kara… Are you still there? You shouldn’t stay in the bathtub for too long or else you’ll catch a cold.” Grace spoke from outside.
“Oh yes, and I brought the honey you requested for. I’ll come in now.” Grace placed her hand on the doorknob and was about to open it.
Kara’s eyes widened and Qin didn’t know where to run. To make matters worse, he was about to sneeze and didn’t know how to prevent it from happening.
Kara ran out of the curtain and locked the door then covered Qin’s mouth with her hand.
He was caught off guard because of her swift movement and the fact that they were close to each other.
Because he was taller, he could see the space between her towel and her bright skin. This made him even more uncomfortable. He looked away to avoid the temptation his demon was craving.
“Don’t come in. I’m not putting on any clothes.” Kara spoke to Grace from the other side.
Her words were too direct and this made Qin even more uncomfortable. Who says they are completely naked in front of their potential mate?
Grace nodded. “Okay, I’ll just leave this here.” she dropped the honey and turned to leave but then, the bomb exploded.
“Achu…” Qin sneezed from inside the bathroom and grace turned around surprised to have heard a masculine voice.
Kara looked at Qin with a death glare. How could he just blow their cover with such a clumsy mistake? Left with no other option, Kara began to sneeze repeatedly.
“Maam, are you fine? You must have caught a cold.” grace became worried for Kara hearing her sneeze like that.
“Ah… Never mind me. I’ll be out in a minute.” Kara assured while glaring at Qin.
“Okay. I’ll have some hot tea sent to you right away.” Grace hurried out to get some tea ready for Kara.
As soon as she heard the door close, she glared at Qin angrily. It was his fault for coming here without knocking and also sneezing and causing so much problem.
“Why…” she wanted to say something but was too angry to say anything. She turned to leave but Qin held her back and because he pulled her, she lost her footing and fell on him.
She blinked twice then looked up at him. ‘Why does this seem to happen way too often than to be called an accident?’ she wondered.
He had pulled her back to apologise to her but was speechless now feeling her body close to him with just the towel separating them.
“Have you lost your mind? What did you do that for?” she was furious but that was just a mask that concealed what she really felt inside.
“Marry me.” Qin blurted out causing her to go silent. She didn’t know whether or not this was one of his pranks.
They stared at each other for a long time until she pushed him away. “I have no words for you.” after saying this? She walked out of the bathroom and locked the door to her room. It would be best if no one came in for now.
Soon after, she went back to the bathroom and spoke from the door. “No one is here. You can go now.” she didn’t get a response and went in to see what he was doing but couldn’t find him anywhere.
Her brow furrowed and she searched the room as well but couldn’t find him. “Huh? Did he disappear?” she wondered after checking everywhere.
“Sigh…” she sat on her bed then hit her chest to console it. “What is that? Am I in a romance series or what?” she murmured then recalled what he said?
“Who pops such a question out of the blues?” she whispered to herself then sighed and rubbed her burning cheeks.
“I almost said yes back there. What’s wrong with you Kara? Did you get possessed or what?” she lamented in self-pity.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on her face and she placed her elbow on her leg then placed her palm on her face. “This heart of mine shall not be possessed by his charms. I’ll start a plan as soon as possible.” she smiled thinking about just how well this would go.
After taking her tea which was given to her by Grace, she stood in front of the mirror and tied a bandana on her face then did a smoky makeup that made her look like a badass terrorist.
She smiled at herself in the mirror then spoke. “Let’s see if you’ll still want to marry this side of me. Dr Qin, this is the beginning of your marriage from hell.”
It was surprising that she could even still do this after her traumatic experience with Kel last night. Most people would stay in bed all day and think of nothing other than what happened.
“I’ll hold this needle in my hand just so I don’t forget this character I’m portraying.” she smiled as she looked at the needle then walked out dawned in black clothes with the bandana on her nose.
As she walked down the stairs, everyone that came across her made way for her as she looked more like an evil ghost than a human.
She got to the living room and sat down with her leg crossed. As soon as Qin saw her, he jerked back a little. He was too surprised to see her like that as she had never dressed like that before.
Johnathan coughed slightly. “Kara… What’s going on?” he asked equally surprised.
She smiled slightly and responded, “It’s showdown.”
