The second day, Candice went down for breakfast looking unwell, her face pale and bloodless.
Emerson's jaw clenched and he said unpleased, "Robert, why is Candice not looking well?"
Robert said a little guiltily, "Candice vomited again last night. And… Candice wants to sleep in the guest room at night."
"Why?" Emerson's jawline tightened more.
Robert did not know how to put it, so he looked at Candice. Candice hung her head and said quietly, "It might be due to I was pregnant, but I didn't like Robert's cologne, and I vomited seriously last night. So I thought that I should live alone from now on."
Candice needed more care now, and Emerson could have said 'Robert, stop using cologne for now', but he opened his mouth to say, "If that's so, ask Kim to tidy up the guest room for you, and you shall move there tonight."
After Emerson said this, he realised on an afterthought that he had subconsciously not hoped for Candice and his brother to live together so badly. Even if he knew that his brother would not do anything with Candice. But once he thought of the two together, he still felt uncomfortable.
He finally knew about the greediness of humanity, and that self-discipline was really fragile in a man's desires.
A day passed groggily.
Candice slept easily when she was in the guest room. The few nights before of not being able to sleep well and the pregnancy had really exhausted her, and she was fast asleep.
When she slept until midnight, the side of Candice's bed sunk in a bit. Candice was tired, but she was even more sensitive. Then, a strong arm circled Candice's shoulder across the blanket.
Candice preferred to sleep on her side, thus she was in the position that her back was facing the man. The man smelt fresh, no sign of Robert's cologne. She clenched her jaw, tolerated and forced herself to sleep.
But after a while, the man behind her was getting greedier, his breath right down on Candice's neck, and his lips touched her after.
Before, the two had been ten times as close, but that was because she had thought he was Robert. Now that Candice found out that he was the elder of the family, a person that still came disturbing her even after she had locked the door and hid from him, Candice wanted to keep on tolerating, but she was just imitating wood and was not real wood. She finally snapped, and on reflex turned herself around.
In the dark, Candice stared with hatred at the eyes of Emerson.
Emerson did not have the embarrassment of being caught in the act, he had not ran away not knowing what to do, scared, and wanting to hide in a hole, instead he caressed Candice's head, and said lightly, "Sorry that I woke you up."
Candice was going insane, the fact that Robert was a two faced person had exhausted her every day. Now Emerson was just the same, he had slept with her, and fathered his brother a child, what more did he want?
Candice's body quivered like a falling leaf in the wind, her voice shook even harder, "Brother-in-law…"
Emerson was touching Candice's face when he stunned, and looked at the moistness and redness of Candice's eyes, he reached over and pulled Candice into a hug, "Since you knew about everything, why did you insisted on calling me brother-in-law?"
When the two bodies touched, there was a moment of blankness in Candice's mind, Emerson knew that she had found out about everything!
When she came to her senses, she found her face and her body stuck to Emerson's heated muscular chest, and she begin to push away on reflex as if she had been shocked, all tolerance and indifference out of the window, and she screamed crazily on instinct, "Let me go! Let go, what do you want! You…"
Emerson tightened his grip and stopped Candice from struggling furiously. His large palm was against Candice's head, and he lowered her head to use his lips blocking whatever that came after. Emerson was not a sweet talker like Robert, he was not good with words, he only had a wide chest, strong arms, and a barbaric, almost rough method to get Candice to be quiet.
