The force on her wrist pulled Everleigh's whole body and made her do a 180-degree rotation. When she looked up in surprise, her lower back was already pressed against the sink.
Theodore's hands lightly rested on the marble counter on both sides of her body. He leaned down a little over and breathed into her neck. Everleigh's pupils contracted, and she leaned backward instinctively. However, she slipped.
"Ah..."
Amidst a cry of surprise, the man stretched out his long arms and wrapped them around her waist.
"What are you doing?" Everleigh raised her hand quickly, but she accidentally patted the man's chest instead.
His strong and sturdy chest was muscular, and her right palm could clearly feel the heartbeat of his heart.
Everleigh's eyes widened suddenly, and she swallowed subconsciously.
"Have you touched enough?" A cold voice came from above her head.
Everleigh immediately wanted to draw back her hand, but at this time, her hands were hanging between the two of them and she had nowhere to put her hands. She was so nervous that she couldn't even breathe, and the feeling of suffocation made her sweat.
"Let... Let go of me first."
Theodore acted as if he didn't hear her words. He casually placed his hand on the counter behind her, forming an area that she couldn't escape from. Suppressing his voice, he asked, "Why are you here again?"
Everleigh only felt her throat tighten and the way she tried leaning back really made her waist a little unbearable. After a long time, she found her voice. "I did something wrong, so it's not good to leave without taking responsibility. I feel sorry."
Theodore's eyes darkened when he heard her words. "Is that so? You only feel sorry? What if there weren't any matters with your family?" If it hadn't been for the Trevino family's incident and this misunderstanding, no matter how severe his injuries were, it still had nothing to do with her.
Everleigh was a little stunned and speechless for a moment.
The bathroom was extremely quiet, as if one could hear the sound of a strand of hair falling to the ground.
Everleigh looked up. "No..."
"Mr. Godfrey, you..." The sound of the door opening came from outside the washroom, accompanied by Moses' voice. Everleigh and Theodore both raised their heads and looked towards the source of the voice.
Moses pushed the bedroom door with one hand and his foot was still half hanging into the room. He was also looking in the direction of the bathroom. At the moment when he saw this scene, his eyes widened.
The air was almost frozen.
"I'm... I'm sorry, Mr. Godfrey and Dr. Trevino. It's not the right time for me to come here. Please continue. I'm leaving now!"
After saying this, Moses closed the door hurriedly.
With a bang, the sound of the door closing echoed in the room. The frozen atmosphere was not broken, and they looked at each other even more awkwardly.
Looking at the still-shaking door, Theodore suppressed the anger in his eyes. After a while, he straightened up and withdrew his arms from Everleigh's sides.
Before he could open his mouth to speak.
"Well... I... I'll go out first. Call me if you need anything," Everleigh said and ran out of the bathroom in a hurry, her face burning.
After Everleigh left, Theodore looked back into the mirror on the opposite side. He stared at the person in the mirror for a long time, but his eyes seemed to look through this person to see someone else. He was lost in thought.
Outside the bedroom, Moses was setting the breakfast he had brought on the table.
Hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, he looked at Everleigh and asked, "Dr. Trevino, why did you come out?"
This question made Everleigh twitch the corners of her mouth. She waved her hands as if nothing had happened and explained awkwardly, "I just wanted to help him use the bathroom. Don't misunderstand."
"What am I misunderstanding about? Isn't all this normal?" Moses said with an 'I understand' expression. "Mr. Godfrey hurt his head, not his legs..."
