Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 774

After Mark finished his words, the three men who had gathered around the bed took a few steps back at the same time.

When he saw that, he was speechless.

What was the identity of the woman on the bed? Why did the three men hold her in such high regard?

It made him even more curious.

With a glance, Mark saw that a petite girl was lying on the bed, with gauze wrapped around her head, so he checked her breathing.

"She's asleep," Softly, Mark said to the three men behind him. "There's no need to make a fuss..."

As Mark said that, he continued to stare at the girl's face. The more he looked at her, the more he felt like he had seen her somewhere before.

When Ruben saw that Mark had suddenly stopped talking, Ruben cleared his throat and said, "Why don't we go out first and let her sleep well?"

Immediately, Vincent nodded in agreement.

As soon as they all left the room, Mark got hold of Ruben and asked in a low voice, "Who is that girl?"

"I knew you would be curious."

"Don't keep me guessing. Hurry up and tell me!"

"Why don't you ask Vincent?"

"I know that he definitely wouldn't tell me."

In fact, Mark knew Vincent's character well. As Mark rolled his eyes, he suddenly thought of something and raised his voice, "Oh, I remember it now. I know who she is."

Surprised, Ruben looked at him asked, "You know Elaine?"

Immediately, Mark's face darkened. "That girl is one of Howard's subordinates, isn't she?"

"It seems that you really do know about her." Slowly, Ruben yawned. "How do you know that?"

"Why did you guys bring her here?" With an expression of disapproval, Mark asked, "Is Vincent really planning to mess with the Perkins Family? Why didn't you at least try to stop him?"

"Well, tell me how did you get to know about Elaine first."

"The King Family and the Perkins Family have known each other for a long time, so Howard and I know each other too. You also know that Howard has invited his friends to hang out at his place several times, and I once saw Elaine in my friend's photo, so when I saw her earlier, I felt that she seemed a little familiar. Then, I remembered who she is."

"You really do have an extraordinary retentive memory."

A moment later, Ruben went downstairs and decided to stay for the night since it was already so late at night. As Ruben lay on the sofa and watched television, he said in a faint but helpless voice, "You know Vincent well, and if he were to do something, no one would be able to stop him."

After a pause, Ruben sighed once more and said, "After all these years, Vincent had always had a hard time. The Perkins Family had indeed done many things that have wronged him, and if he didn't vent his anger on the Perkins Family, he would always feel troubled in his heart, so just let him do what he wants."

When Mark that, he didn't know what to say.

Meanwhile, Morgan had just come downstairs, and when Ruben saw that there was no sight of Vincent, he turned to ask, "Where's Vincent?"

"Mr. Vincent said that he was tired, so he went to bed after he took a shower." Slowly, Morgan walked toward them and said, "Mr. Bradbury said that you should stay here for the night. It's already very late, so it's better to head back by tomorrow morning."

It was exactly what Ruben was thinking, so he had no problem with it.

Meanwhile, Mark was still thinking about what Ruben had told him just now, and he was still a little worried, so he said, "Morgan, Vincent is not asleep yet, right? I'll go and have a word with him."

"Sigh." When Morgan saw that Mark was about to head upstairs, he quickly stopped Mark. "Dr. King, I think you should talk to Mr. Bradbury tomorrow. If you were to head upstairs, you would disturb Miss Jacob."

In a daze, Mark asked, "Vincent is sleeping in the same room as Elaine? They are... sleeping together?"

However, Ruben's next words surprised Mark even more. "Not only did they sleep together, but yesterday, Vincent also went over to Elaine's place and had a good night's sleep."

After that, Ruben turned to ask, "Morgan, did Vincent ask you for sleeping pills?"

As Morgan shook his head, he said, "No. Mr. Bradbury only told me to come downstairs to welcome you guys before he closed the door and went to wash up. Also, he didn't ask me for sleeping pills either."

After Ruben stroked his chin and thought for a while, he said, "We shall not give him his sleeping pills today and see if he can fall asleep then."

Immediately, Morgan's face flushed with excitement. "Would Mr. Bradbury really be able to fall asleep if he didn't take his pills?"

In all these years, the most tormenting thing for Vincent was his insomnia.

Although Morgan felt sorry for Vincent, there was nothing he could do about it.

Then, Ruben smiled and said, "I have no idea for now. Let's see how it turns out tomorrow. If he really were able to sleep well tonight, then Elaine would be the best thing he has ever encountered in his life."

Happily, Morgan went to prepare two rooms for Mark and Ruben.

After a long time, Mark came back to his senses, but he still couldn't believe it. "Wait... What you've just said, is it true? Vincent was able to fall asleep without taking his pills?"

"I guess. Anyway, that was what happened last night. You can ask him when he wakes up tomorrow morning. Okay, that's all for today. I'm so sleepy. Goodnight."

When Ruben first got to know about it, he was just as surprised as Mark. At that moment, Ruben had long since accepted the fact that Elaine could help with Vincent's insomnia.

However, Mark sat back on the sofa in a daze and was still unable to come to his sense after a long

time.

In the meantime, in the bedroom upstairs.

After Vincent showered, he stared at Elaine, who was on the bed, for a while, and then he turned around and went back to his bedroom.

In fact, he was not used to sharing the same bed with others.

Last night at Howard's place, Vincent had hugged Elaine to sleep the whole night on the couch, but it was an accident.

At that moment, he lay on the spacious and soft bed and stared at the ceiling, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

For a long time, he tossed and turned in bed, but he still couldn't fall asleep.

In the end, he sat up, but he seemed to be hesitating about something. Then, he seemed to have made up his mind as he got off the bed, went to the guest room, closed the door, and lay down next to Elaine.

All these years, Vincent had been known for his sense of cleanliness, and Elaine was yet to take a shower, so he thought that he would not be able to stay for more than a few seconds.

However, after ten minutes, he was still sleeping All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

beside her.

Under the faint light, he tilted his head to look at Elaine, who was in a deep sleep. Curiously, he stared at her and took a good look at her facial features.

In fact, she was quite good-looking, and her facial features were delicate. Other than that, her pink cheeks were chubby and smooth.

Unexpectedly, he stroked her chubby face, and the smooth feeling made his gaze suddenly deepened...

It turned out that he was lying a little far from her, and he could not help but slowly lean close to her.

The moment Vincent got closer, he was able to smell the faint fragrance on Elaine's body.

A moment later, he realized that he wasn't against that kind of smell at all. On the contrary, he liked it a little bit.

In the darkness, he lay still and stared at her as he wondered how she was able to sleep so soundly. Even when he was carrying her out of the car, she didn't wake up.

As time went by, Vincent began to feel drowsy, and his eyes slowly shut...

It was already the next morning when Elaine woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she found herself in an unfamiliar room.

Suddenly, Elaine sat up from the bed, but it all happened too fast that she felt a little dizzy. After a few seconds, she felt better, so she turned her head and began to look around.

The room was huge and well designed with luxurious decors.

Where was she at?

There was no one in the bedroom, so Elaine got out of bed and carefully walked toward the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a servant who had her hand raised as if she was about to knock on the door.

At that moment, Elaine was stunned.

Even the servant was also stunned.

In the end, Elaine came to her senses. "Hello, may I ask, who are you?"

"Oh, Miss Jacob. You're awake?" In the hands of the servant was a set of clothes. "Morgan asked me to come upstairs to see if you're awake. Also, here are some clothes to change into in case you want to shower. I hope you like them."

Puzzled, Elaine asked, "Uh... this place... where is this place? Also, have you seen Dr. Perkins?"

Since the servant had already been reminded of this, so she responded appropriately. "Miss Jacob, are you asking for mister? He is waiting downstairs for you to go have breakfast with him."

Then, the servant placed the clothes on the bed and politely exited the room. "I will be right outside the door, and if you need anything, feel free to call me."

After that, the servant closed the door as she exited.

Still in a daze, Elaine was tongue-tied.

All this time, she had always been the one to take care of others, and that was the first time she was taken care by others.
