William Scott suddenly felt his heart ache. Xenia Lewis had followed him for so long since early in the morning. She did not rest much and fell asleep from exhaustion.
Xenia Lewis’ head slipped and her body tilted in William Scott’s arms.
He gently held her head and placed it on his lap so that she could sleep more comfortably.
Looking down at Xenia Lewis’ face, William Scott suddenly felt an indescribable peace in his heart. He also felt a quiet sense of relaxation.
Although he seemed very relaxed after returning to the city, his mental state had been too tense over the years. Even when he returned home, he hadn’t been able to breathe and relax freely.
However, at this moment, he really felt completely relaxed. There was no more life and death in his mind right now. His entire body was surrounded by serenity.
He had been severely injured last time. Even though his external injuries had healed, his internal injuries were very serious. That was also the main reason he had returned. Although he had been recuperating these days, the result was not obvious.
At this moment, the chaos inside of him actually seemed to have calmed down a little. His blood could actually circulate slowly and smoothly.
This surprised William Scott. He didn’t dare to dwell too much or take the initiative to regulate his body. He chose to allow his body to act freely on its own.
This feeling was really amazing, causing William Scott to unknowingly become immersed in it. He forgot about the time, forgot where he was, and forgot that there was a sleeping Xenia Lewis on his lap.
After an unknown period of time, Xenia Lewis suddenly sat up. Only then did William Scott break free from that strange feeling. However, that feeling still enveloped him, and he couldn’t help but reveal an extremely enjoyable expression.
“William Scott!” Xenia Lewis suddenly glared at him and roared angrily.
“Ah… Xenia, what’s wrong?” William Scott was stunned and looked at her in confusion.
“What’s wrong with me?” Xenia Lewis’ eyes widened even more. She crossed one hand in front of her chest and pointed at William Scott with the other. She hissed angrily, “Are you still human for treating me like this? Why are you asking me what’s wrong?”
“What did I do to you?” William Scott was even more confused.
Xenia Lewis suddenly leaped to her feet and spluttered angrily, “You’re still pretending… to be confused. To think that I trusted you so much. And… I treated you as my family. I really didn’t expect you to take advantage of me when I was asleep… You… You…”
At this point, Xenia Lewis raised her leg and kicked William Scott’s waist.
From Xenia Lewis’ accusation, William Scott had already roughly guessed that he must have been too engrossed at that time and completely ignored her, who was on his lap. His hand might have been accidentally placed on her body that he shouldn’t have.
However, before he could explain, Xenia Lewis’ kick had already arrived. William Scott did not dodge and allowed himself to be kicked. To him, the pain was no different from an itch.
However, Xenia Lewis was the one who suffered. She kicked too hard, and the rock was not flat. She slipped and lost her balance. With a cry, her body swayed and she fell towards the water.
William Scott hurriedly reached out and grabbed Xenia Lewis’ ankle. With a strong pull, her body drew a perfect arc in the air before lying in his arms again.
“Ah, you… What are you doing? Let go of me!” Xenia Lewis immediately struggled.
Afraid that she would fall into the water, William Scott hurriedly grabbed her arm and said in one breath, “Xenia, I was regulating my body just now and was completely immersed in it, so I didn’t know where my hand was. I might have touched something I shouldn’t have touched, but I definitely didn’t mean it.”
“Do you think I’ll believe you?” Xenia Lewis gritted her teeth and struggled.
“My dear lady, if I really wanted to, would I let you off now? We’ve been alone so many times. Wouldn’t I have attacked you long ago?”
“When a man makes a mistake, it’s often an impulse. You weren’t that impulsive in the past, but when I was lying on your lap just now, I sparked that impulse within you and turned you into a beast. Moreover, when I woke up, I clearly saw that lewd expression on your face. You still said you had no idea. Do you think I’m an idiot?”
“This… I still have a lewd expression…” William Scott thought for a moment and said, torn between laughing and crying, “I really entered a very strange state just now. That’s why I have such an expression. Xenia, the fault lies with me, but I have to clarify. I really didn’t mean it.”
“Let go of me!” Xenia Lewis glared at him.
“I’ll let go of you. Be careful not to fall into the water,” William Scott reminded her before relinquishing his grip.
Xenia Lewis snorted and stood properly. She stood beside William Scott and stared at him. She suddenly raised her leg and kicked him again.
“You’re doing it again.” William Scott did not know whether to laugh or cry. He stretched out his arm, not to block her foot, but to prevent her from falling into the water again.
“Hmph, whether you did it on purpose or not, you took advantage of me too. How dare you touch my chest, you terrible jerk! I haven’t had a man touch me yet. I’m saving myself for my future husband. Yet you took advantage of me. I’ll kill you!”
William Scott actually felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. To a man, perhaps a girl’s first kiss or touch would always make a man feel proud.
“If you kick me again, I’ll let you kick me till I die.” William Scott pretended to be in pain after being kicked a few times. Actually, he knew that Xenia Lewis’ kicks were getting lighter and less aggressive, but he had to give her a reason to stop.
As expected, Xenia Lewis stopped and hissed aggressively, “You assh*le, you’re shameless and despicable!”
William Scott replied with a bitter expression, “Actually, I’m innocent too. You said that I touched you, but I didn’t feel anything at all. I even had to be beaten up and scolded by you.”
“Then do you mean that you have to feel it?” Xenia Lewis lowered her head, her eyes filled with danger.
“No, no. How would I dare?”
“So you don’t dare to, not because you don’t want to?” Xenia Lewis lowered her body even more and gritted her teeth, looking like she wanted to murder William Scott.
William Scott hurriedly retreated a little and said, “I wouldn’t dare to think about it. I’ve always treated you as my younger sister.”
Xenia Lewis widened her eyes and said, “Aha, you’re even more shameless! You actually attacked your sister.”
