Chapter 360 - FEAR TO BE DISAPPOINTED



Chapter 360 – FEAR TO BE DISAPPOINTED

"I'm sorry. We can't go further unless we are in a legal relationship."

Vincent was startled when he was suddenly pushed away. When he heard her firm rejection, he controlled his expression.

"Catherine, do you think that we don't have a future? Do you not believe in me?"

"It's not like that. I just don't want to do anything that would make me want you more than I already feel. I think I'll take advantage of you."

"It's not like that, Catherine. You can never take advantage of me–"

"Even so, this isn't right. I can't become intimate before marriage. No matter what society allows, in the end, the one who loses value is the woman without purity. We cannot change that fact. I'm sorry I led you on."

Vincent calmed down when he heard that. "I understand. What you said is logical. I cannot argue with you about that. But Catherine, you didn't lead me on. I'm doing it in my free will. Moreover, if you need confirmation for our future, I'm ready for it."

"What do you mean…?" Catherine couldn't understand. She wanted to hope for something and at the same time, she was afraid of being disappointed. 

Vincent knelt before her and took out a purple-colored velvet box. It was a small square-shaped box, only to put a small piece of jewelry.

Catherine covered her mouth. She couldn't believe that he came prepared.

Vincent lovingly stared at her. "Catherine, the moment I saw you, I knew you were the one I was looking for all this time. I want no one other than you. 

"The reason I wanted to become your friend is because I wanted to marry you. I apologize for harboring a hidden intention but my feelings for you aren't hidden. I never hid it from you. That's why I want to ask your hand in–" 

Thumb!

"Ahh!"

Vincent couldn't finish speaking before something fell from the tree. The same tree they were standing under.

Catherine was frightened and screamed. In the middle of the night, a human fell from the tree and dropped to the ground

Vincent embraced Catherine quickly and brought the magic lantern in front of the human. 

The person was wearing black clothes. He was injured. His face was covered with blood.

Catherine gasped the moment she recognized the person despite having blood all over.

"Sebastian?!" She cried out and dashed toward him. She crouched on the ground and carefully rolled his body.

When his back touched the ground, he let out a groan. 

"Who is he? Why is he like that?" Vincent was frightened after seeing the severely injured man. He had never seen someone injured like this before.

With a panicked heart, Catherine replied, "He is Sebastian. My friend. He is badly injured. Please help me take him into a room." 

"But all the rooms are booked!"

Catherine was quick to think. "Then, we can take him to my cottage. He can have privacy there. Help me to move him."

Vincent didn't like the idea of an injured guy staying in Catherine's room. But noticing how she was desperately urging him, he reluctantly agreed to help her.

They took Sebastian into her room and placed her on the bed. After turning on the light, she took off his shirt and realized that his left shoulder and right waist were sliced.

"Oh no! I have to call Ver!" Catherine rushed outside without giving Vincent any explanation. 

She banged the door of Veronica's cottage. "Ver! Open the door!"

Meanwhile, Veronica and Arthur were done with their fourth round. The first round was in the bathroom; the second round was beside the window, the third was on the table and the fourth was on the bed.

They made the whole room messy. Curled close to his chest, Veronica breathed hard.

Her body was twitching. Not a bit of strength was left in her body. Arthur ravaged her like an animal. He didn't restrain himself. He went all out.

'We have done it four times but it feels like it's still not enough,' she thought. 'Furthermore, Arthur is still hard inside me.'

Arthur who just finished filling her up stayed inside her while embracing her tightly.

Hugging each other's sweaty and exhausted bodies, they panted hard. That's when someone banged in their room. They heard Catherine's voice soon after.

The urgency in her voice reached their ears. Despite not having enough strength, Veronica tried to sit up.

"Let me help you," Arthur said. 

With his assistance, she sat up. Arthur used magic to clean their bodies and brought the bathrobe to them. After wearing his bathrobe, he opened the door.

"What happened?" he asked when he saw Catherine's panic-stricken expression.

"Sebastian!" She answered nervously. "He is gravely injured."

"He came fast," Arthur mumbled. He turned around and took a glance at his wife. "Looks like they need your help."

Veronica already heard her friend. "Help me to stand up."

Arthur carried her to Catherine's room. They found Sebastian's unconscious body in Catherine's room. Vincent was standing next to him with a pale face.

"Can he be treated?" Vincent asked them. "I don't want anyone to die in my resort."

"He will be fine. Please leave this room for a while and bring fresh clothes for him. We will pay," Veronica calmly stated. She signaled Arthur to let her sit on the bed.

"All right," Vincent didn't wait any longer.

After he left, Arthur closed the door with magic. Only then did Veronica use her healing power to heal Sebastian. 

The injuries took time to heal. The bleeding stopped. All his scars disappeared from his body.

Veronica was already exhausted. When she was done healing the unconscious Sebastian, she collapsed.

Arthur was quick to catch her. 

"Ver! Are you okay?!" Catherine was concerned. Due to her worry for Sebastian, she didn't notice her friend's condition. She finally noticed her friend's bathrobe and wet hair.

"Oh no! Were you bathing? Did I disturb you?"

"Don't worry about it. Take care of this guy. We will be leaving," Arthur said before carrying Veronica once again.

They teleported to their room. After that, Arthur placed her on the bed and then quickly covered her lips.

Veronica didn't complain. She let him kiss her. Using the power took away her little bit of strength. Even though she wanted to be embraced by her husband one more time, she couldn't.

She closed her eyes and soon after fell asleep.

Arthur noticed that she wasn't moving an inch and realized that she went to the dreamland. The corner of his lips lifted and then he pecked on her forehead. Later, he covered their bodies with the comforter and hugged her to sleep.

In the meantime, Catherine took off Sebastian's shirts. Later, she reached out for his pants and hesitated.

'Should I take it off? What will Vincent think if I do that? But I have to clean Sebastian's body.'

Debating with herself, she finally unbuckled his belt.

"P-pervert!"

Sebastian noticed some movement and opened his eyes only to find out that Catherine was struggling with his belt. 

His mind went completely blank. 'Last thing I remember is her getting proposed by that Vincent guy. And now she is taking off my pants. Is she trying to take advantage of me while I'm unconscious?'

Before he knew it, he blurted out 'Pervert'.

Catherine jumped in surprise. She placed a hand on her chest to calm down. 

When she realized what he meant, she blushed furiously. She threw the wet towel at his face.

"Who are you calling a pervert?! You are a pervert! I was trying to clean your body."

"How am I supposed to react when I open my eyes and see a woman taking off my pants?"

"I haven't taken off your pants yet."

"Yet?!"

"What the hell are you two arguing about?" Someone spoke from the window. 

"Ahh!"

"Ahh! Ghost!"

The sudden appearance of the man in the dark outside the window spooked the pair inside the cottage.

Darius clicked his tongue. "Open the door. It's locked."

Catherine opened the door and he entered the room. He sniffed and twisted his face. "The room stinks of blood. It seems that you were sliced deeply. How did you get injured that badly?"

"The soldiers were chasing after me." Sebastian couldn't speak too much in front of Catherine. 

"I can't believe you let them scratch you." Darius licked the blood that was on Sebastian's skin which was not yet cleaned. "They used poisonous arrows. You are lucky not to be dead."

"I believe so," Sebastian agreed.

Darius stole a glance at the woman beside them. "So, Catherine, I didn't know you were so horny for Sebastian's dick. Do you like his little penis?"

"My penis isn't little!"

"I didn't see anything!"

Two of them answered together.

Darius smirked when he heard their objections.. "How can you say that? Sebastian was sleeping and you were ready to take advantage of that. Who else takes a patient's pants off?"
