"I...I'm supposed to sleep with you ? Together?" Sky's face turned even redder, and he almost bit his tongue.
How could he sleep in the same bed as Dray?
"No, I...I don't want to..." Without hesitation, Sky immediately rejected
Dray's proposal.
He hadn't forgotten how he looked down on him.
Nor had he forgotten how he smashed the ring that was so important to him without even asking.
He had just managed to escape and didn't want to fall into the trap again!
Sky pushed Dray hard. "The relationship between Mr. Li and me has already ended. If you need someone to play the role of Mr. Li, you can find someone else. I'm sorry, I can't play this game..."
However, Sky had just stood up when a long, slender hand stopped him at the waist and pushed him back onto the bed.
Before he could resist, his petite body was tightly held between the arms of the tall man.
He stared at her panicked eyes with a cold tone. "Sky, it seems you haven't realized that this role-playing game was never yours to end."
"Why...why..." He was about to retort, but Dray's long fingers pinched his chin.
The man's cold and narrow eyes revealed an inexplicable depth. His slightly calloused fingertips grazed lightly over the soft flesh of Sky's chin, neither too heavy nor too light. Sky's body trembled uncontrollably. This man...he had been too close for too long. This Dray was dangerous and unfamiliar.
At that moment, Dray's cold and relaxed breath, tinged with a hint of smoke, suddenly invaded Sky's nostrils. His thin lips kissed away the tears that had gathered at the corners of Sky's eyes.
"Good boy, be obedient and don't make things difficult for me," Dray said.
Sky blinked, deliberately ignoring the strange feeling in his heart from Dray's kiss. His cheeks were flushed, but he still didn't want to give up struggling. He still wanted to leave this place.
Seeing that he still refused to compromise, Dray's slender fingers gently brushed over the bandaged wound on Sky's forehead, then over his swollen cheek that had been iced while he slept. Finally, his calloused fingertips stopped on his trembling lips.
His dark eyes were filled with a deep darkness as he looked down at him, his voice soft and soothing but devoid of warmth.
"You don't want to see your mother's hard-won surgery suddenly cancelled by the hospital. You also don't want to see her exhausted and alone outside the hospital after you've been imprisoned for fraud and she's been kicked out because of it."
Sky remained silent.
The icy calm tone pierced Sky's heart deeply. He stood there, stunned, holding his breath in disbelief, his blood freezing in his veins. How could Dray... how could he be so despicable!
"You checked on me?!" he asked hoarsely.
Sky was certain that Dray had no idea about his mother's scheduled surgery before this. He didn't know anything about his past!
"Checking on the goods you bought is perfectly normal," Dray said, his tone indifferent and quiet, as if he were discussing a matter of course. "During your coma, I had someone look into your information. Considering your mother's hospitalization and the need for money, I won't hold it against you for the tricks you played before. From now on, as long as you play the role of Mr. Li well and satisfy my grandfather, not only will the 1.2 million belong to you, but I can also arrange for the best experts to perform the surgery on your mother. Otherwise..."
"You'll go to jail, and your mother will be homeless. I guarantee that no hospital in Jin City will take her in!"
