As if in punishment, Hurley forcefully bit down on Sophie's lips during the peak of the evening. Although he didn't break the skin, it caused the lips to swell, and anyone with keen eyes could tell that something had happened.
After biting, Hurley released Sophie, knowing that she would surely retaliate and bite him even harder. Since it was a public occasion today, he couldn't afford to have his lips damaged, so Hurley made a swift retreat.
However, after releasing Sophie's lips, Hurley quickly sucked and bit down heavily on Sophie's neck. Sophie was originally wearing a short skirt, and her long swan-like neck was incredibly fair. Now, it bore the mark left by Hurley, looking quite conspicuous.
Feeling someone daring to take advantage of her, Sophie instinctively raised her hand. Hurley, having been slapped twice before, could anticipate Sophie's moves. He directly grabbed Sophie's wrist, preventing her slap from landing on his face.
"How can you hit someone? Women shouldn't be so violent," said Hurley with a hoarse voice.
"I'm just beating a dog; some creatures are just in human form but aren't really human at all!" Sophie retorted.
Is Hurley sick, or is he a dog?
"So what if you know they're not human? Are you willing to go along with them?" Hurley didn't think Sophie was insulting him at all.
Sophie couldn't be bothered to explain to Hurley; after all, he wasn't someone significant to her, so why should she explain?
"So, Hurley, what does this have to do with you?"
Hurley spoke with a hoarse voice, as if there was a cotton ball stuck in his throat, making it sore and uncomfortable.
"It's not my concern, but we do have a three-month contract. It's my responsibility to protect you. If anything happens to you and it ends up being blamed on me, what am I going to do?" he continued.
Sophie remained silent.
"Don't worry, it's not like there's no one to take care of me." Grandpa and my brothers are all fighting over who gets to take care of her, and with the money Sophie earns herself, who knows how many of her there could be.
"Sophie, men are not good creatures. Can't you avoid getting involved with a few of them?"
"Mr. Walton, you're a man too. Are you insulting yourself?"
"Do you really understand what I mean?"
"I don't understand! So what's the difference between Mr. Walton and those people? If others have such intentions towards me, why are you angry? Do you also have such thoughts towards me?" Sophie questioned.
Hurley remained silent.
He didn't know why he was angry. When he heard those people disrespecting Sophie and his own words, anger welled up inside Hurley, rendering him unable to articulate his feelings.
"Mr. Walton," Sophie's lips curled up slightly, "you're not falling for me, are you?"
Sophie spoke with a playful tone, clearly joking. Someone like Hurley couldn't possibly have feelings for others; he was like an unfeeling stone.
Matilda was the perfect example. She had been by Hurley's side for so many years, even had a child, and in the end, she didn't gain anything.
Because of Sophie's words, Hurley's heart felt as if it had been struck by a stone.
Falling for her?
Impossible!
Sophie is so fierce, lacking charm, and has no virtues other than being somewhat attractive. But Hurley is not a superficial person; there are plenty of beautiful women around. How could he possibly like Sophie? It would be like seeking trouble.
Hurley sneered, "Why would you think someone like me would like a woman like you?"
"I really don't know what kind of woman I am. And besides, isn't it normal to fall for me? After all, I'm so outstanding. But let me tell you, Mr. Walton, you really shouldn't like me. Otherwise, it won't be fun at all."
Hurley met Sophie's gaze, filled with playful and inscrutable depth. And it seemed like he was indeed a bit captivated.
