Chapter 90

Stephanie knew that Vincent’s endurance had reached its limit.

She then said, “I have a condominium nearby. I’ll take you there for acupuncture.”

Vincent grunted in response and clenched his fists. Blue veins bulged on the back of his hands.

Stephanie started the car and drove straight to the condominium.

Looking at the back of the car, Julianna snickered quietly.

“You’re so broad-minded. How could you smile after what you’ve just gone through?” Julianna heard a familiar voice and turned around. “Graham, I told

to be quiet. I suspect you have a severe case of chauvinism!”

you

With his hands in his pockets, Graham looked like a nobleman, different from how bloodthirsty he was earlier.

“I saved you last night and have just saved you again. Is this how you treat your savior?” Graham said.

Julianna pursed her lips. What Graham said was true, but it didn’t hinder her from not accepting the truth!

“Well, thank you!” After saying that, she was about to walk past him when Graham held her wrist and said, “Keep your eyes peeled when you’re looking for a boyfriend in the future. Don’t be deceived again!”

Julianna knew Graham wouldn’t have anything nice to say. She snorted and shook off his hand. “You just can’t say anything nice, can you?”

It wasn’t because she wasn’t grateful but felt embarrassed when Graham advised her in that manner publicly.

She was so annoyed that she gritted her teeth and walked into the seafood restaurant.

Graham took a cigarette from its case, held it in his mouth, and lit it.

The smoke rose and blurred his vision. One would vaguely see the smile in his eyes.

As Julianna entered the seafood restaurant angrily, she saw Giovanni and Joseph surrounding Stephen. She walked over and asked, “What are you looking at?”

While pointing at Stephen’s hand, Joseph said, “That took some serious muscle to penetrate a hand and one-inch table with a table knife.”

Julianna bent down and saw the tip of the table knife through the table and the dark red blood dripping on the ground.

She straightened her back and asked, “Did my friend do this?”

Stephen nodded and cried, “It f**g hurts!”

“You deserve it for your evil deeds!” said Julianna, slapping him twice.

She grabbed a fork and jabbed it hard on the back of his hand.

Since Stephen was still traumatized after being stabbed by Stephanie, he howled when he saw the fork touching the back of his hand.

Julianna was not as strong as Stephanie, so she barely poked the back of the hand.

Stephen was relieved and let Julianna poke his hand as she liked.

However, before Stephen could take a breather, Giovanni grabbed a fork and said, “I’ll have a go too.”

Seeing that, Joseph followed suit.

Stephen prayed silently for the courage to deal with his trauma.

After the police arrived, they discovered that Stephen’s hand had been stabbed through with a fork. Bewildered and curious, they flocked to witness the phenomenon firsthand.

Norman asked, “Who did this?”

“My friend, but right now, she’s on her way to treat a patient. She will head to the police station to record her statement later,” said Julianna.

Norman frowned and said, “That’s not how the protocol works.”

Graham looked at him and said, “The patient is Mr. Vincent Fletcher.”

Norman cleared his throat and ordered, “Bring those who were involved to the police station, along with the surveillance footage from the restaurant and cameras installed along the way.”

It wasn’t until then Stephen realized the beautiful woman was Vincent’s fiancée.

‘D a m n it! I’ve actually offended Mr. Fletcher?’ thought Stephen.

“What happened to Vincent?” Joseph asked curiously.

Raising his eyebrows, Graham said, “Ask Julianna. She knows.”

Joseph turned to Julianna and asked, “What happened to Vincent?”

Julianna glared at Graham and found he was indeed a hypocritical p s c h o. She roared, “Don’t you worry about adults’ affairs!”

‘Why am I a child? But what happened to Vincent?’ Joseph wondered.

Meanwhile, Vincent and Stephanie had just entered the condominium.

Before the door was closed, Vincent pushed her against the wall.

Vincent’s fingertips were burning, and he trembled as he kissed Stephanie

Her hands were on Vincent’s chest, and she turned her head to gasp for air, moaning, “Stop, stop please.”

“Should I?” Vincent asked.

The sun shone into the floor-to-ceiling window and on the two people.

“The wound on your stomach hasn’t healed yet. You can’t do strenuous exercise,” Stephanie said, looking up at Vincent.

“I want you, Stephie. I don’t want the acupuncture. Let me have you, please?” Vincent begged as he brushed his nose against hers.

His alluring voice shot through her ears and spread to her heart, rendering her spellbound.

“We shouldn’t do this in broad daylight,” Stephanie whispered.

Vincent ignored this and pressed her hand on the buttons of his shirt and said in a bewitching voice, “Unbutton it, please,”

Stephanie’s eyelashes fluttered as she unbuttoned his shirt.

Vincent kissed her fingers. The wetness felt like a bolt of electricity passing through her body and veins.

He kissed her wrist, feeling her pulse through her skin. His kisses wandered up to her tanned neck.

Stephanie trembled as he engulfed her in lingering kisses.

A chick echoed in the air, adding an ambiguity to the stillness of the space.

Vincent looked at Stephanie with burning eyes. He picked her up and put her on the chest of drawers, squeezing himself between her legs and kissing her passionately.

Stephanie’d seen how passionate Vincent was, but it was the first time she’d experienced a rather eager Vincent trying to swallow her whole.

They got lost in their passionate labyrinth. Each piece of clothing fell along the hallway to the master bedroom.

Vincent looked at Stephanie pinned under him, looking desirable and enticing. He kissed her forehead, nose, lips, chin, and collarbone almost worshipfully. Stephanie moaned in

response.

She combed Vincent’s thick and shiny hair with her hands, moaning, “Stop, I need to shower.”

Vincent moved up and said h o r s e y , “I can’t hold back anymore.”

Seeing that Vincent was about to kiss her, Stephanie turned away.

Vincent teased, “You despise your scent?”

He turned her to face him and took her passionately.

It was true that a woman’s first time was painful. She felt as if her whole body was torn apart.

Yet later, the pain was gradually replaced by overwhelming ecstasy.

She felt the sweat dripping on her collarbone from the tip of Vincent’s nose, and her eyelashes quivered.

Stephanie felt like the world was spinning. The crystal chandelier on the ceiling seemed to shine too brightly.

Soon, the afterglow of the setting sun gilded the snow-white sheets in gold.

Finally, everything stopped spinning. She was so exhausted that she fell asleep.

Vincent went into the bathroom and filled the bathtub with warm water. Then, he carried Stephanie in to clean her.

Afterward, Stephanie was wrapped up and carried to the guestroom. Vincent dried her hair and covered her with a blanket.

Vincent kissed her forehead and left the guestroom to tidy the master bedroom.

When he saw the bloodstain on the sheets, he felt content.

He wasn’t conservative, but the fact that Stephanie let him have her virginity made him rejoice.

After cleaning up, he took a shower. He walked out of the bathroom wearing Stephanie’s bathrobe. He saw her draped in a blanket and asked, “Why are

you awake?”

Stephanie yawned and said h r e l y, “Let me check your wound.”

She walked over awkwardly and took off his bathrobe.

As expected, the wound on Vincent’s abdomen had opened up a quarter inch.

Stephanie looked at him askance and said, “I told you not to over-exert yourself.”

Vincent held her in his arms and said, “I’m willing to give my life to you.”

“Don’t be silly!” exclaimed Stephanie.

When they entered the bedroom, Stephanie saw that the sheets had been changed. She didn’t bother asking because he’d likely thrown them away.

She sat him on the bed, took out the medical kit from the nightstand, and tended to his wound.

“Fortunately, the tear isn’t too big, or I’ll have to send you to the hospital for a CT scan to check if your intestines are ruptured,” Stephanie complained.

Her tone was clipped, but there was no mistaking the distress in it.

“Are you hungry?” Vincent asked.

Stephanie realized she was indeed hungry. Stephanie nodded and asked, “What do you feel like? I’ll order.”

“I’ll have anything you like,” Vincent replied.

“Alright then,” Stephanie smiled.

When Stephanie came to the hall, she took her phone out of her bag, which she placed in the chest of drawers. She saw a text from Julianna.

Julianna: [Stephie, don’t look for me. I’m going to have my beauty sleep. It’s been a horrible day. I reckon you’re still busy. Good night! By the way, the police chief has agreed to let you go to the police station tomorrow. Congratulations on your transition to womanhood! Remember how it feels and tell me all about it later!]

Stephanie smiled and murmured, “What a p e r v!”

She exited the chat and ordered food and contraceptive pills. After all, they didn’t take precautions, and it wasn’t the right time to get pregnant.

Half an hour later, the takeout and medicine were delivered.

When Vincent saw the box of contraceptive pills, he said guiltily, “I’ll take measures in the future. After dealing with the Skull Corps remnants, let’s prepare for our wedding ceremony. We’ll have babies. But if you don’t want any…”

“Who said I don’t want any?” Stephanie said, covering his mouth.

Vincent smiled, held her in his arms, and said, “Okay, we’ll have a football team.”

“I’m not a sow!” Stephanie exclaimed.

They laughed and beamed like children.

The two of them had dinner while watching a movie. Their weariness was completely gone.

Meanwhile, Douglas was sent to the hospital as he’d been badly beaten.

Upon learning the news, Raphael and Lorelai were devastated.

Lorelai looked at the police guarding the door of the ward with reddened eyes and grumbled at Raphael, “Vincent beat our son, and we’re just going to live with it?”

Raphael narrowed his eyes and replied, “No way! We’d better hurry with the plan tonight to avoid unforeseen circumstances.”
