Chapter 22 Ring on Her Finger
The little pretty reclining on the bed had already fell into sound sleep. Charles Mu couldn't help staring at her delicate and fairly white face for a long while, As if he was enjoying a beautiful scenery.
Yet he had no intention of spoiling such a moment.
It seemed that Linda Xia was dreaming of something sweet since there was a smile on her lips.
After an eager glance at Linda Xia, Charles Mu then took a deep sigh. He tucked her in and headed to the bathroom to take a long shower until the icy cold water finally quenched the desire burning inside.
The last thing Charles Mu dared to confess was that he was losing the self-control that he was once proud of to a woman who he had known for barely a week.
Ten minutes of cold shower was enough for Charles Mu to calm himself down. He then left the bathroom and lay down on the other side of the bed.
At midnight, Linda probably felt cold and unconsciously cuddled into Charles Mu's arms. Focusing on Linda Xia, his eyes were gleaming faintly in the dark.
After quite a while, he took a deep sigh and held Linda in his arms, trying to get some sleep.
Linda woke up at noon the next day when sunshine filled up the room with warmness.
Linda Xia had slept tight last night, therefore she felt quite refreshing at the moment.
She forgot the wound in her arm for a second and sat up to stretch herself. The pain instantly brought her wide awake in tears.
Then she heard a knock at the door.
"Come in."
It's Bun.
"My Lady, you're up. Please get dressed and have some breakfast." Bun was standing at the door with a sweet smile.
"Ok, just a second. Where's your Young Master?" Linda Xia asked without thinking.
Even Linda herself didn't notice the fact that it had become her daily habit to ask the question of "Where's your Young Master".
"Young Master left for the company early in the morning, for business. But he said he will pick you up tonight to the Xia clan." Bun replied.
"Back to the Xia clan? What for?" Linda was completely baffled about the situation.
Bun was surprised, "It's your father Johnson Xia's 50th birthday, My Lady. Don't you know that? Lady Lisa came yesterday with the invitation."
"..."
Linda had not a single clue, as no one told her before.
"That's it. You were asleep when Lady Lisa came yesterday afternoon, I suppose the maid just gave the invitation to Paul."
As Johnson Xia's eldest daughter, naturally Linda had to attend her father's birthday party.
However Linda felt a little upset about the idea of meeting her nasty stepmother and stepsister again.
Bun took out some replacement from the medical kit, "Young Master told me to clean up your wound and change the bandages when you're up."
Linda agreed with a nod and let Bun finish her job. She took out her phone to check the time and was surprised by the fact that it's already 12 o'clock. She slept until this hour of the day.
"Damn it, how long have I been sleeping! Why don't you wake me up?"
Bun chuckled with a sudden blush on her fair pretty face, "Young Master told me not to before he left this morning. He said you were worn out last night..."
Damn Charles Mu.
Linda knew exactly what Bun had been thinking about, but she could manage no replies other than secretly scolding Charles Mu in both anger and embarrassment.
After the wound had been clean up and changed into new bandages, Linda got up for her late breakfast.
