"W... well," replied Lydia stiffly, to William. Then she hurried to grab her nightgown and go into the bathroom.
The maid walked into the bathroom, put on some hot water for Lydia, and she left the bathroom. Lydia saw that the maid had gone, and immediately closed the bathroom door. When Lydia remembered that William was still outside, so then she closed the bathroom door from within.
But right after Lydia turned the handle, William spoke from the outside, "You have nothing to worry about, your body is of no interest to me. I won't suddenly barge in to see you showering. You don't need to lock it. There's nothing for me to see."
Lydia quickly blinked her eyes and took a deep breath. She didn't expect William's hearing to be so good. He could even heard the sound of a key from inside. Although William said he wouldn't see it, but Lydia was still feeling uncomfortable. That was because her first experience in a room with a man, when she was wearing nothing on her body. Even if they were separated by the door, Lydia till her face was red, quietly explained, "I..., I just want to see if this lock works or not. I don't want to lock it."
Just finished speaking, Lydia frowned nervously, why did she feel weird about what she said earlier? How do you not want to lock the door? She was like a sloppy, over-indulgent woman.
In the depths of her mind, she suddenly heard William snorting outside the door. Lydia imagined the current expression of William, who must have scorned her. She was shaking her head in annoyance. But what was she able to do? After all, that was William's bedroom.
"Never mind, William always looks down on me. What's the problem with him continuing to belittle me?" Lydia murmured under her breath, then opened the faucet of the shower and began to shower.
Then she showered as quick as she could, dried her hair, and put the nightgown lying on her side. As she was preparing to leave the bathroom, Lydia could not help sighing. Though she knew that William would despise her, Lydia could not help being agitated. Who feels comfortable when people always despise and belittle them? So, Lydia tried to get ready to deal with William who was just outside the door.
Lydia with her lips plucked and her brow still wrinkled came out of the bathroom. As she left the washroom, she saw William sitting and working in the reading room. When she walked into that room, Lydia had seen William's room, but had not noticed that there was still a reading room hidden in that room.
William was wearing dark glasses, saw Lydia come out, and then said, "It seems that you are not really concerned with the child. Even under the rain, you're not wearing an umbrella? If you want to get rid of the kid right now, why keep protecting the kid in front of me? You're no more than a two-face girl."
The truth was that Lydia had just become a mother. Because she was pregnant as a result of artificial insemination. Although she knows a little bit about being a mother, Lydia is still not familiar with the responsibilities of being a mother. Lydia totally overlooked the rain problem. At the time, she met a carefree and odd man. It also messed up her mood, making her completely forget about taking care of her own child.
Lydia felt guilty, she looked below and said. "I had forgotten about it. Sorry, I was wrong..."
Lydia was feeling really bad about it. She did not feel guilty for William, but she felt guilty for the child in her stomach. She was still not qualified to be a parent, much less to look after a child. Since she lost her mother a long time ago, there was no motherly figured around her. Lydia must have learned everything from being a mother on her own.
"Sorry?" said William, in a low tone, "Don't feel guilty about me, as I also hope that the child in your stomach will disappear. If you're the reason this child disappear, Grandmother and I may be released from the deal to help the Ahn Family. This may also reduce a lot of problems."
Lydia, with furrowed eyebrows, looked at William, she pressed her lips and lowered her head. Then, William suddenly got up and approached her. Lydia immediately alerted and took a few steps back. Ever since what William told her, she felt unsafe and had no idea what he would do. But instead, William went through Lydia, and he took the glass to drink the water that was on the closet behind Lydia.
Having taken a drink of water, William turned to Lydia. And then he said, "What do you think I'm doing to you? As long as you have no misunderstanding that I like you, I'll never hurt you. Just so you know, I have zero interest in women like you. And remember this, don't try to attract me, the thought of that already disgusts me. Because this is a plan from Grandma, you can use this room. If you want, you can sleep on this bed. But you need to remember your status, you are only a tool to deliver and raise that child."
Lydia put her head down and responded, "I understand."
William glared coldly at Lydia, and said, "It's dinner time now. Hurry up and get dressed."
After William was done talking, while wearing a tie, he told Lydia. "Wear the black dress that's in the closet, this way it's going to match my black suit. This evening, the Second Uncle will also return home, the Second Aunt will certainly call other members of the Chang Family. They will seize the opportunity while I am still recovering, to come and see me who cannot bear this blow. My Second Aunt is Maddison, you've already met her, she's not a great character, can only think small tricks. She may give you a little trouble, but she's not really going to hurt you."
Speaking thus far, he stopped slow for a moment. Then he went on with his words to Lydia, "Somebody you should be watching is my second Uncle Andrew, who looks friendly to make you careless. There will be times when he will make you feel, he is the one who stands next to you. You'll find him really nice, a friendly elder. However, the person you have to keep an eye on at all times is him. He's the person who could want your life. He likes a wolf wearing sheep's clothing."
