She didn't want to quarrel with him or mention what happened before.
Even if she questioned him, he would only taunt her.
He might even blame her for disgracing him and hit her. Now she was too weak to withstand it.
He always hated her and didn’t pity her.
So why should she say that?
She had learned lessons the hard way.
She said evenly, "I was tired, while you and that woman were staying upstairs. I thought you might have something to do, s o I left." "That's like you to do so. Tired? What have you done today?" Luke was burning with anger.
Eileen closed her eyes without replying.
Brad was next door. He was very sensitive and couldn’t have slept.
If they spoke louder, he could hear it clearly. She didn't want to quarrel.
"But I'm already back. What are you going t o do?" she said.
"You've become bold and bad-tempered. Are you pushing your luck? You used to be scared of me. Why have you changed?”
Luke was provoked by her attitude.
Without telling him, she left so casually, and now she gave him the cold shoulder. How dared she?
Had she forgotten herself?
Eileen repeated, "I'm tired!"
"Tired?"
Luke couldn't stand hearing this.
He snorted, clutched her wrist, and said coldly, "I haven't vented my anger yet. You say you’re tired. I'll make you even more tired in bed!"
He carried her into his arms.
Eileen struggled and squirmed but was no match for the strong man.
Did it hurt?
Yes. She curled up in a ball in pain, but her heart was numb.
