The Undefined Love - Chapter 377
Lifen felt like she should crush the man’s head when she looked at herself in the mirror. Her cheeks went all red when her eyes fell on her neck. She has never thought that wearing a low cut top for the coming week will become a dream to her.
She just wanted to retaliate for the torture that Devil has done to her early in the morning. She never thought that it would be her at the lower point again. The man was simply a devil. To restrain her from wearing the lower cut top, he has completely made her neck his canvas to pain.
“Arghh!! Deming, you are really a beast”, she yelled from inside the closet.
When the man who was sitting outside heard her scream, he could not control his laughter. He himself has overestimated his self – control. When he has started, he has only thought to leave one or two marks on her, so that she has to just go and change her clothes. But not a time he has thought that his suppressed desire will easily break the lease of his control, the moment he will get near her.
He even felt bad for her. He didn’t intend to give pain to her. At a time, he has even got the reins of his control but it was her m.o.a.n that made him lose his grip on it over again.
“Little Cat, I thought you too enjoyed it that time. If I was a beast then moments before you, yourself have become my prey with all your heart. Then why are you complaining now?”, he teased.
“You … you … who said I enjoyed. How can anyone enjoy these ugly marks? Hmph!” she yelled from inside again.
“Then what does your sensual m.o.a.ns from before mean? Did they have some different meaning? You even said that we should continue. That we should go to another leve …”
Before his words could get to completed words, Lifen yelled again from inside making the whole air go silent, “Shut up! You will not be getting to come near me for a week now”
Deming was all dumbfounded with her words. What was that? Was her word serious? No that can’t be. She can ask him something like that, not after knowing his feelings and desires for her!
He was a little doubtful of her words. But all her doubts got cleared when Lifen came out of her closet. Just a look of her expression and he knew that she was not joking. This time she was dressed in a turtle neck full sleeved top. Her neck was fully covered but her cheeks were still blushing red, still giving the hints of embarrassment she has been feeling because of his words.
Looking at him one last time, she did not say anything but scrunched up her nose and turned to walk out.
Seeing her leave, without giving him any word, Deming hastily walked ahead to her and tried to grab her but the woman stepped back to avoid it.
“You better not ignore my words or else the span of time will only increase instead of decreasing it”, she warned again.
For the first time in his life, the man was scared of crossing someone’s words. He has never cared too much according to anyone’s rule but looking at her so angry, he really thought that it won’t be better to provoke her anymore.
Stepping back, he asked in a very loving and caring voice. “You can’t be serious with such things right? You know I can stay away from you”. His eyes were clearly pleading with her. For a moment she was about to give in to her when suddenly she remembered the way he had tortured her from early morning.
Her eyes shone with excitement. Finally, she has come to know the way she could torture him. Now she will let him taste that same bitter medicine, he has forced her to.
“I am very much serious this time with my words. So don’t take it easy”, she said and walked off.
Deming was all stumped. He was just at her back when she left. Now he was really feeling punished for teasing her to such extents. It’s going to be really hard for him.
After composing himself back into his composure, he went down to have his breakfast.
*****
Few days passed, Lifen has remained all serious with her words and has not let Deming come near her. She knew it was a torture for him and she was enjoying it.
Due to such treatment, Deming’s mostly remained in the foul mood but still would consistently try to coax her daily. He would happily pamper her even when it was becoming a torture for him.
Rebecca has almost recovered with her injuries and was enjoying her time in the house. Looking at her no one can say that she was living there with some ill motives.
Li Liaoyuan had his eye fixed on her, in order to get to know her moves beforehand. Though he has said that he won’t be stopping her, he did not mean that he won’t protect her granddaughter.
“Father … oops sorry. I guess it came out of habit. Mr. Li, I wanted to ask you something”, Rebecca said, when she found the old man sitting in the living room and reading some book.
Elder Li did not say anything. He just raised brows at her to the least. The woman smiled at him knowingly. This reaction was not new for her. The only thing that was new for her was the essay of words the old man had said on the night she arrived at the house.
After living with them for more than six years before Lifen’s birth, she already knew how less usable words were in Elder Li’s dictionary.
“Haha … you will never change. Fine, I wanted to ask. Are your eyes not tired yet? You have kept it on me for like so many days now. I am almost tired looking at you like this and even pity you that all your rigorous efforts have already gone to waste. I have already made my move but it still has not got into your eyes. Seems like your eyes have gone all weak and aged now. Tsk … tsk”
“Is that so? I never knew that your eyes were so sharp. But don’t worry, I might have missed your moves but I am sure that someone might have got it”, Elder Li said without giving any hints of nervousness or shock.
Rebecca’s jaws clenched in irritation. The nonchalance of the old man has now started getting on her nerves. Every time she felt that she was winning her move the old man would disappoint her by showing his belief in the youngsters.
“Believing someone will only disappoint your belief. But it’s up to you. If you want to overestimate granddaughter luck, then you can. It’s not that I will stop you. But don’t say it in front of others nor when you will be proved wrong then you won’t be only losing your belief but also the face and reputation that you have hard earned all these years”.
She said, her frustration visible on her face. Looking at her like that the old man did not control his laughter. Soon a loud laughter rang in the hall like it was some kind of celebratory tune.
“Haha … How wrong will people think, if they see you like this. They might be mistaken in thinking that you are her trying to take care of me when in the exact scenario, you are here to take revenge. Sigh! you can truly mislead anyone easily. Don’t worry too much about me. I am sure that at the end of the story, it won’t be me who will be disappointed rather it will be you who will get to know the truth. The truth where you lacked 19 years ago”
The old man said and stood up to walk back to his room, leaving the woman to stand and grit her teeth.
Rebecca really felt like she should not wait and just go and end the life of Lifen. But she knew that now she was no more interested in taking her life, especially after knowing that it was not her life she held precious to her heart, rather was the love and emotions.
Pulling her phone out she dialed a number. Her eyes turned dark with evil intent. “How are things going? Did you make it?” she asked as soon as the phone got connected.
“Yes Mam! Everything is done. I think these days I am really getting good chances to get near our goal. It will be all fine in a few days” the person from the other side of the connection replied.
“Good! Get everything done quickly. I can’t wait to end things at a peaceful ending”, she said and disconnected the call.
‘Lifen, daughter … It has been really tough for me to look at you so happy every day. I just can’t take your happiness anymore. So let your mother end it quickly for you!’ she said in a deep low voice which sounded more like her internal voice, restrained to get into other’s ears.
