Billionaire ’s Unforgettable First Love novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21 Need I Put Out the Fire for You?

Somehow, Gwenyth's heart sank onto the ground.

Even if she knew Eddison was using her to win Nancy back, looking at how nervous he got about Nancy still set her vexed for no reason.

It'd been four years.

He didn't even remember who she was.

Given that, the crush they'd had on each other when they had been teens, the first times they shared meant nothing to him.

The burning curtains in the house were torn down and several waiters poured water from basins to have the fire under control.

Eddison held Nancy in his arms and went back to the house and put her on a couch.

Her eye sockets were red with tears brimming, and she covered her mouth with a hand while pain pushed a sob out of her throat.

Having no experience dealing with this kind of situation, Eddison turned his face to Estella who was stunned aside, and spoke, "Come over and stanch the flow of her blood!"

"I... I don't know how to handle oral hemorrhage!"

"Then take her to the hospital."

Finishing that, he stood up, ready to leave.

But Nancy gripped one of his fingers, so tightly. Tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down.

"Eddie, don't go."

She was shedding tears out of pain, and her full mouth tasted rusty.

Having bumped down suddenly and gotten stepped on many times in the mayhem, she was at the edge of swearing, but she saw Eddison leave Gwenyth for her.

That was the moment she held back his impulse.

When he pushed away those crazy zombies and nervously embraced her, she, for the first time, felt his concern.

She asserted he cared about her.

After all, they'd known each other for three years and dated for six months.

She was pretty and hell-bent on him. It was impossible that he had no response to her love.

"Please, don't go."

Tears couldn't stop streaming down from that pair of puppy eyes.

Staring at her for a while, he broke her fingers away from his hand one by one.

"Sorry, my girlfriend is waiting for me."

He left Nancy here and went outside.

The rest of the people swarmed back into the house one after another and began surrounding Nancy after they found out the fire was put out.

She was crying her heart out, and people were comforting her softly.

But she didn't need help from them. All she needed was Eddison's stay with her.

...

Gwenyth was waiting in the car, which she couldn't get off since the door was locked.

The pills had kicked in and she felt waves of heat surging in her body.

Apart from her, the driver was in the car, too. The AC was cooling the temperature at full capability, but she felt no coldness but her face and body burning.

She felt her mouth parched and tongue scorched and her heart was going to pump out of her throat.

When Eddison opened the door and got in, he immediately noticed something went wrong with her.

Knowing it was the pills, he gestured to the driver to drive.

"I'm kind of under the weather."

Gwenyth turned her face to him and swallowed but couldn't assuage the thirst in her throat.

She laid her eyes on the profile of this handsome man, running them down his chiseled chin. Catching her sight, he loosed his tie and smoothly undid two buttons on the neckline of his shirt to reveal his sexy clavicles.

"Why are you fixing your eyes on me like that? Am I that good-looking?"

He turned his face to her suddenly to meet her eyes.

She looked away instantly, and her heart raced. But only two seconds after, she looked back at him.

He raised an arm and wrapped her shoulders, lightly pulling her into his hug.

He was caressing her, teasing her body. She wanted to dodge, but he grabbed her shoulder and intentionally pushed her down on his thighs.

She was trying so hard to repress herself.

Sensing her body was shaking, he stroked her on the back and asked, "What made you uncomfortable?"

"I..."

Gwenyth couldn't define this feeling while craziness was eating at her.

Eddison leaned down to her ears and whispered, "You want to do it now, don't you?"
