Benjamin <b>sounded </b><b>excited </b>as he <b>spoke </b><b>to </b>Carlisle with <b>admiration</b>.
Carlisle’s <b>move </b><b>not </b><b>only </b><b>kept </b>Benjamin <b>out of </b><b>trouble</b><b>, </b><b>but </b>also <b>caused </b>Titan <b>and</b>
Jalen to <b>fight </b>it <b>out</b>.
Carlisle <b>had </b><b>predicted </b><b>such </b><b>a </b><b>result</b>, <b>and he did </b><b>not </b><b>appear overly </b><b>delighted</b><b>. </b>He <b>said </b><b>in </b>a low voice<b>, </b><b>“</b><b>Ben</b><b>, </b>you should <b>know </b>what to say <b>and </b><b>what </b><b>not </b>to say in front of my <b>parents</b><b>, </b><b>right</b><b>?</b><b>”</b>
<b>Benjamin </b>grinned. <b>“</b><b>Carl</b>, although I’m not as smart as Heath, I’m not <b>a </b>fool. I won’t let
your <b>parents </b>learn about our identities. During dinner, <b>I </b>told them that we’re your business partners and Heath was harmed by an assassin hired by <b>a </b>business rival.”
Hearing this, Carlisle was relieved. “Take good care of Heath. It’s gettingte, and I
should sleep soon.”
“Okay. Goodbye, Carl.”
“Bye.” Carlisle hung up the phone and put it aside.
Carlisle felt more at ease with Benjamin staying with his parents. After all, Benjamin
had experienced a lot, and the local tyrants of Rainville may not necessarily be able to suppress him even if they tried.
Queenie came in at this moment with the herbal medicine in hand. “Carlisle, the
medicine has cooled down. Wake Wanda up, and I’ll feed this to her.”Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
Carlisle turned to look at Wanda and said gently, “Wanda, wake up and take the
medicine.”
Wanda slowly opened her eyes and spread her arms coquettishly. “Hug me.”
Queenie’s jaw dropped in surprise. She suddenly regretted acting cute to Zachary in
front of Wanda. She even told Wanda that men were defenseless against coquettish
acts.
Wanda had learned everything and used it on Carlisle in front of her!
Carlisle was just as stunned. Still, he leaned forward to hug Wanda with a smile. He
then lifted her to an upright position.
Wanda sat against the <b>bed’s </b>headboard. Her eyes were dull, <b>and </b>she was
expressionless as if she <b>was </b>an <b>empty </b>shell <b>without </b>a <b>soul</b>,
<b>Queenie </b><b>scooped </b><b>a spoonful </b><b>of </b><b>medicine </b><b>and </b><b>fed </b><b>it </b><b>to </b><b>Wanda</b><b>, </b><b>whispering</b>, “<b>Wanda</b><b>, </b><b>open </b><b>your </b>mouth.”
<b>Wanda </b>did <b>not </b><b>respond</b>. <b>It </b><b>was </b>as <b>if </b><b>she </b><b>had </b><b>not </b><b>heard </b><b>Queenie</b>.
“<b>Let </b><b>me </b><b>do </b><b>it</b><b>,</b><b>” </b><b>Carlisle </b>said.
<b>Queenie </b><b>passed </b>the medicine to Carlisle, who also scooped a spoonful of medicine <b>and </b><b>fed </b>it to Wanda. “Wanda<b>, </b>open your mouth,” he tried.
<b>Wanda </b>blinked and looked up at Carlisle, then she imitated Carlisle in opening her
<b>mouth</b>.
Carlisle fed the medicine to Wanda and she swallowed.
“It’s bitter.” Wanda frowned as she looked at Carlisle with a resentful gaze.
“You’ll recover after having this.” Carlisle smiled and tried to feed her again.
Wanda, however, shut her mouth tight and shook her head vigorously.
Queenie was growing a little annoyed. “Wanda, I won’t like you anymore if you don’t
behave.”
But Wanda still refused to open her mouth, regardless of how Queenie coaxed her.
Carlisle was also helpless.
Queenie suddenly suggested, “Why don’t you feed her with your mouth?”
Carlisle gave Queenie a confused look. “What do you mean by ‘mouth“?<b>”</b>
Queenie smirked. “Aren’t you supposed to be very smart? You know exactly what I
mean.”
Only then did Carlisle understand. That said, he was more confused than ever.
Zachary would have asked Queenie to keep an eye on him and Wanda so that he
wouldn’t do anything out of bounds to Wanda.
<b>Yet</b><b>, </b><b>she </b><b>was </b>asking <b>him to </b><b>feed </b><b>the </b><b>medicine </b><b>to </b><b>Wanda </b><b>with </b><b>his </b><b>mouth</b><b>?</b>
“<b>It’s</b>. <b>It’s </b><b>inappropriate</b><b>.</b><b>” </b><b>Carlisle </b><b>pretended </b><b>to </b><b>be </b><b>embarrassed</b>.
<b>Queenie </b>snorted. <b>“</b>Stop <b>pretending</b><b>. </b>I know what you’re thinking. Before <b>Wanda </b><b>is </b><b>fully </b>recovered, I won’t stop the physical intimacy between you both. <b>But </b><b>only </b><b>kissing </b><b>is </b><b>allowed</b>!”
Queenie left the bedroom and closed the door after that.
Carlisle touched his nose and carefully said, “Wanda, I’ll feed you the medicine with my mouth.”
Wanda tilted her head and stared at Carlisle, as if she was wondering what he meant
by that.
Meanwhile, Carlisle had already put the medicine into his mouth.
