Her Secret Mate

Chapter 13 An Acquaintance

The man's breath was very close. She suddenly opened her eyes and found that his lips were very

close to hers. What was he doing?

"I still want to feed you." Jeremy felt a little disappointed.

Fiona took over the pills from his hand as soon as she could. She then took a deep breath as if she

faced death calmly. After gulping down half a glass of water, she fell asleep again.

Jeremy was really upset. Was he that terrible?

He didn't fall asleep the whole night and didn't leave until her fever was brought down. When he walked

out, he almost fell to the ground.

While seeing this, Ella quickly came over to help him. But Jeremy refused, "Go take care of her."

"Okay."

Ella frowned, as always, Mr. Jeremy was not close to others.

'Maybe he has to pretend to be strong even if he doesn't feel well. Perhaps he just doesn't want to

show his fragility in front of his bride. Perhaps he is in true love with her.' Ella thought to herself.

It was hard to be a man like him, but it was also affectionate. It was so great that the cold young master

finally had warmth.

The next day, as soon as she opened her eyes, Fiona saw that Ella was sitting at the bedside and

looking at her with admiration. She wrapped herself tightly with the quilt and shrank vigilantly to a

corner.

After seeing all this, Ella smiled and said, "Madam, don't be so nervous. No one dares to bully you in

this family."

"Really?"

It was weird if there was no one. Jeremy was exactly the one. Last night, if she hadn't woken up in

time, he might have fed her with the pills in a shameful way... She was right.

"Mr. Jeremy had looked after you the whole night. He was exhausted and almost fainted. It was

extremely too hard to find a man like him."

Ella said seriously. No wonder she looked at her in such envious eyes.

Feeling hot on her face, Fiona apparently didn't believe what she said. "He took care of me the whole

night?"

Then, she looked at her clothes carefully. It was not the dress she wore yesterday, but her nightdress!

Who changed her clothes?

Her voice was a little flustered. She gripped Ella and tried to seek comfort from her. "Did you help me

change my clothes last night?"

But Ella hesitated in speaking, "well... You'd better ask Mr. Jeremy. "

Since they were married, it was normal for a husband to help his wife change clothes.

"Are you feeling better?"

Jeremy stood at the door, his face flushed unnaturally. He looked at her carefully, with concern in his

eyes.

With shyness and shame, Fiona asked angrily, "Did you help me change my clothes?"

"Well..." Jeremy sat on the bed in a calm manner and put his hand on her forehead.

Fiona asked seriously, "I'm asking you."

Seeing that the newly married couple were flirting, Ella guessed that they would say something

inappropriate for children later. So she said sensibly, "Sir and madam, please excuse me."

The door was closed gently. Fiona wanted to explain, but she couldn't. She swore that she had nothing

to do with this man. She lowered her head in depression.

Jeremy asked bluntly, "Have you thought about it?"

"Think about what?" Hearing his words, Fiona was dazed for a second. Then she was suddenly Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

enlightened and spoke in a voice that was totally in a mess: "You said you would give me time. I need

time to think over it."

Too many things had happened in a day, and she still had no time to digest them, let alone to think

about this difficult question.

"I know. I'll give you some time." But his patience was limited.

"You, you go out first. I need to change my clothes and go to school," said Fiona.

"Okay."

Jeremy stood up and felt dizzy. He gently touched his forehead and his mind went blank in an instant.

Seeing that the man didn't leave, he just held one of his hands against the wall and his face was

flushed unnaturally. Noticing that something was wrong, Fiona asked with curiosity, "Do you feel

uncomfortable?"

The man walked away in silence. With her lips curled, she thought, "don't think that I care about you. I

asked just because you saved me last night. I can't think about it anymore. It's none of my business. I

haven't settled with you yet.".

He changed her clothes? Thinking of this, she couldn't help yelling to the sky, feeling very

embarrassed.

Fiona tidied up and went to the school. She heard loud noises far away on her way back to the

dormitory.

"Rita. How dare you speak ill of Fiona behind her back! I don't even know you until today!"

"Yes? If I didn't accidentally see her account, I wouldn't know that she had done so many bad things

behind back in the name of best friend. "

It was her roommates Gail and Nanette who put in a good word for her. Because of working, Fiona had

less communication with them and just kept a general relationship with them.

But what surprised her was Rita's words.

The clamor was still not over yet, but what she was going to hear was destructive. She found that she

had become cold all over.

She shook her head desperately and couldn't believe it.

"I'm just jealous of her? She stole my prince charming. And now she is pretending to know nothing.

Shameless! I am irreconcilable with her. If you two defend her, you will be dragged into trouble.

"
