My Husband Is My Professor And Boss - Volume 2 Chapter 147 Ch 147
When she realized that there was no point in trying, she grabbed his shoulder and buried her face in the crook of his neck and began to cry. Max said nothing to her and continued his step. After going into the room, he laid her on the bed. He began to get out of bed but the grip was too tight on him and she was not ready to let him go.
“Why did you break your promise? You know Alcohol is not good for your health. Then why you…?” Instead of answering her question, he forcibly removed her wrapped arms around his neck. He went straight to the bathroom leaving her on the bed.
At that time, he needed to get rid of intoxication on him. He took off his clothes and stood under the cold shower. His intoxication was subsiding as the cold water was running from his toned body. A few moments later he closed the tab and wrapped a towel around his waist. He ran both his hands through his messy wet hair and set the hair on the backside.
After coming out of the bathroom, his eyes fell on the pathetic body in a curled position on the king-size bed. His heart ached at the sight of her trembling body. He realized that he had made a big mistake. He knew that the last time he drank, his health had worsened. And seeing him in that state of hospitalization, how much terrible her condition was. He knew she had no one but him. He went into the closet. There were already new sets of clothes arranged for them. He pulled loose pants with the pair of black t-shirt out of the closet and put them on.
He came into the bedroom and climbed on the bed. He folded one of his arms and placed his head on his hand. He put his other hand on the shoulder of his princess who was still crying, hiding her face in the pillow. “Princess!” He called. But she did not respond. Seeing that she was not ready to listen, he grabbed her shoulder and turned her around. She turned but her eyes were still closed.
He moved his face closer to hers. He put his hand on her cheek and began to rub. His hair was still wet and drops of water fell on her face from them. A shiver ran in her spine as some cold drops touched her throat.
“Raina please open your eyes. I know I did it wrong. I shouldn’t have done that. Please…” But instead of opening her eyes, she turned her face to his chest in the same position. And started crying louder than before. Seeing her like that, he knew she needed him the most. Without a moment’s delay, he put one of his arms under her head and the other on her small waist. He pulled her and hugged her very tightly. soon after her sob decreased and she wrapped one of her arms around his waist and placed the other hand on his chest. And finally, she stopped crying and let the darkness swallow her.

Meanwhile
Alex and Noah went inside the room and saw that Avery and Emily were sleeping peacefully on the bed. Alex leaned closer to the bed and bend down a bit. He grabbed Avery’s head with one hand and put another hand on her back and then he put his arm under her knees and lifted her into his arms.
He picked her up so her sleep was a little disturbed and she m.o.a.ned. He holds her close to his warm chest just before she opened her eyes. After feeling his warmth, she grabbed his shirt and snuggled herself in his chest.
Wishing Noah a goodnight, he went towards the door. Noah stopped him as he was about to step out of the room. “Alex wait.”
Alex stopped his step and in the next moment, Noah stood in front of him. “What happened?” Alex asked.
“I just want to kiss her.” And with that, he brought his face to Avery’s head and kissed her on her hair. “Good night baby girl.” He whispered in her ear and stepped back…
Alex took her into the bedroom and laid her on the bed. He then brought a comfortable nightgown from the closet. He sat down next to her and began to remove her top. When the top was removed, his gaze fell on her arm. Seeing the bruises on her arm reminded him, how badly he treated her in college.
He closed his head and suppressed his anger about himself. He changed her into a nightgown and then went to the bathroom. After taking a shower he came back. He lay down next to her after getting dressed.
…..
After Alex went, Noah changed the dressing of Emily’s wrist and he also took a cold shower. After taking her in his arms he fell asleep. This night was a peaceful night after many nights for him.
Emily slowly opened her eyes. She tried to turn around but could not because of the tight grip on her waist. She rolled her eyes and saw a strong hand on her waist. Seeing that hand, a sweet smile formed on her lips and she looked at the owner of that hand. Who was sleeping very peacefully beside her?
Seeing him so close to her, tears brought to her eyes. Last time when refused to recognize her, she was completely broken from the inside. She didn’t want to experience that feeling again. She put her hand on his cheek. “Do you still remember your promise? Will you marry me?”
“Why? Do you have any doubts?” He said opening his eyes which made Emily a little nervous. She thought Noah was asleep. But now she understood that only his eyes were closed. Nervousness caused her to bite her lip and she tried to get up. “I want to go to the bathroom.”
“Why so hurry?” He grabbed her arm and pulled her to his chest. He placed her head on his chest and said very lovingly. “I remember my promise and I will fulfil it.”
