My Quick-witted Baby (Arabella and Kenneth) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9
Kenneth was shocked. He quickly took out the medical kit and used a cotton swab stained with alcohol to help Arabella treat the wound, "Remember what happened. This is the consequence of making me repeat my words for the third time."
Arabella was looking at his sharp jawline, "The consequence that Mr. Lucero is referring to is domestic violence?"
Kenneth helped Arabella to put on a band-aid. There was a light smile on his cold and thin lips, "Knowing that I would be abusive, you still dared to come in? You're pretty courageous."
Arabella looked at Kenneth with her beautiful eyes, "Mr. Lucero, others are afraid of you, but I'm not."
Kenneth's slender fingers halted. He looked at Arabella's face, which seemed a little pity because of the band-aid, "Go out. Just leave me alone."
After that, Kenneth helped Arabella to stand up.
Arabella quickly stretched her slender and fair arms to straightforwardly hug Kenneth's strong waist.
Kenneth's tall and sturdy body instantly went stiffened as Arabella hugged him. Arabella's body was soft as though she was boneless. Her face was pressing against his firm chest, like a soft and docile kitty clinging to him.
Again, Kenneth could smell Arabella's pleasant body fragrance. The scent was slowly alluring his mind.
Arabella whispered in his arms, "Mr. Lucero, don't be alone. You can have a companion. Let me accompany you."
Kenneth's bulging blue veins calmed down slowly. The atrocious expression was also disappearing. He raised his arms and hugged Arabella.
Kenneth rubbed his handsome face against Arabella's soft hair. Arabella's body fragrance made Kenneth feel... déjà vu.
Probably because Arabella had just eaten strawberry jam, she was stained with the fruity aroma of the dessert.
Arabella hugged Kenneth quietly for a while. Then, she moved her hands up across his strong waist and caressed his shoulder blades, "If you're still feeling uncomfortable, we can try biting."
Proper emotional catharsis was necessary.
"Biting you? Are you not afraid of pain?"
"Stop dreaming. What I'm saying is..."
Arabella tiptoed and bit on Kenneth's sturdy shoulder.
The way she bit was so fast and fierce that it was impossible for Kenneth to defend. Blood quickly seeped out of Kenneth's white shirt.
She bit him until bleeding.
Almost biting off a piece of his flesh.
Kenneth's muscles turned tense because of the sudden pain. He took a few steps backward while hugging Arabella in his arms. Arabella's lower leg tripped on the sofa edges, causing them to fall on the soft couch.
"Mrs. Lucero, are you retaliating?" Kenneth was pressing Arabella with his body. The immense pain had helped him slowly relieve his emotions and restored some clarity in his mind.
Arabella raised her delicately arched eyebrow, "Just now, you pushed me. Now, I bite you. It's fair."
Arabella wanted to get up, but Kenneth pressed her shoulders and pushed her back to the sofa.
Their current posture was somewhat ambiguous.
Arabella looked into Kenneth's eyes. There seemed to be flames jumping at the bottom of his eyes. He was staring at her like his delicious prey.
"Mr. Lucero, what are you doing?"
"You smell nice. You haven't told me what perfume you're using since last time?"
Arabella smiled and joked, "Mr. Lucero, I've told you that I'm not using perfume. Your kept asking me about this, so I think that your are trying to hit on me. Perhaps... you're planning to develop an intimate relationship with me?"
Kenneth always knew that Arabella's eyes were beautiful. Especially now, when arguing with him, her eyes looked energetic and gorgeous. Kenneth closed his eyes and gently dropped a kiss by pressing his thin lips onto the band-aid on her forehead, "Does it hurt? I'm sorry for what happened earlier. I'm sorry..."
For having such a domineering man saying "I'm sorry" to her with his low and hoarse voice, Arabella felt numb.
This man!
"We're even already. So, it doesn't matter. Mr. Lucero, please let go of me." Arabella pressed her hands against Kenneth's chest, trying to push him away.
However, Kenneth didn't move. He even reached out and held Arabella's face.
His slender fingers ran across her cheeks and went through her dark hair. He moved his thin lips down from Arabella's forehead...
Arabella's thick eyelashes were trembling. She didn't dare to move. "What... What is he planning to do?" she thought.
As Kenneth slowly approached Arabella, their breaths became entangled.
When Kenneth got closer and closer, Arabella took out a silver needle and quickly pierced it into Kenneth's acupuncture point.
Kenneth closed his eyes and fell to her side.
While looking at the bright crystal chandelier on the ceiling, Arabella closed her eyes hard. Even a fool knew what Kenneth was planning to do earlier... kiss her.
Earlier, he didn't answer when she asked whether he wanted to develop an intimate relationship. However, he seemed to have proven something through his actions.
Arabella quickly opened her eyes. "No!" she thought.
No matter what he meant, their relationship was nothing more than an agreement. She had a lot of things to do and couldn't be enchanted by him.
Arabella wanted to get up, but she was held by a strong arm suddenly. The arm was wrapping around her shoulders.
Arabella raised her head. Kenneth wasn't awake.
He was asleep, but he was unwilling to let Arabella leave even in his dream.
Arabella tried to break free from him, but his arms were strong and powerful. As she was afraid of waking him up and wasting the effort that she made, Arabella could only lie back down.
The sofa in the study room wasn't large. It was a little crowded for two people to sleep together. Arabella could only lie sideways to prevent occupying more space.
After lying down for a while, Arabella heard a melodious ringtone. She had received a call.
Arabella quickly grabbed her phone. At first, she wasn't planning on answering the call. However, it was a call from Seth.
It was her father.
Arabella was lying sideways in Kenneth's arms. She answered the call and said with a low voice, "Hello, father."
Seth's scolding came quickly, "Bella, what exactly happened today? Mr. Weber had originally promised to inject capital into the Snyder Medical Group, but I heard you had offended him. Mr. Weber said that he would inject the funds, but only with the condition of you apologizing to him. Otherwise, nothing's going to happen."
"Father, did Caitlin not tell you what happened today? If I say that this investment was exchanged with your daughter's body, would you still want it?" Arabella asked back.
In the Snyder family, when Caitlin heard Arabella's words, she quickly responded, "Seth, yes, it's true that I want to send Bella to Mr. Weber's bed today. However, the Snyder Medical Group is now suffering from capital chain shortages and is in need of capital injections. Bella is the daughter of the Synder family. She should absolutely do something to help the family get through the difficulty."
Arabella sneered, "Caitlin, you have two daughters. In addition to Leia, there is also the eldest daughter, Stephany. We're all the daughters of the Snyder family. Why didn't you let them do it?"
Mentioning Stephany, Caitlin couldn't help but feel proud and pleased.
The Snyders was a scholarly family that specialized in medicine for years. Stephany was talented in medicine since she was young. She was the most valued and loved child by Seth.
Stephany had also inherited Caitlin's beauty. She was beautiful and sweet and was honored as the first socialite of Hardgrad. A beautiful and talented woman. Whoever saw Caitlin would praise her for giving birth to an excellent daughter.
This was also the main reason why Caitlin was favored by the Snyder family over the past few years.
When they were young, Arabella and Stephany were besties. At that time, Arabella was brilliant and had surpassed Stephany in various aspects. However, Arabella had been left in the countryside for nearly ten years and was raised poorly. Caitlin thought Arabella was no longer competent to be compared with her daughter.
"Seth, how can Bella say such a thing? How can she humiliate our Stephany?"
Sure enough, Seth was also very displeased. He said in a deep voice, "Bella, One Night Bar. Come and meet Mr. Weber tomorrow night on time!"
