Chapter 19 Enchantment
Warren’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He breathed heavily when her soft body got close to him.
He narrowed his eyes.
Isabelle’s face was flushed. His silence made her feel embarrassed.
Seeing this, Alex knew Warren’s heart softened. He was disappointed and decided to pick on Isabelle. “You’d do whatever Warren wants? Ms. Spencer, since you’re a barfly, you must be a good dancer. Dance for Warren to make him happy.”
With a pale face, Isabelle stared at Alex, disdaining to explain.
She intertwined his tie around her slender fingers and pulled him closer. Lowering her eyes in embarrassment, she said, “Mr. L, I’ll dance for you at home, OK?”
Her fragrance got into his nose. Clearly, she was reluctant but was still trying to please him. It aroused him.
Noticing her low voice, he surveyed her. She was almost beaten by those men tonight. Was she hurt?
Thinking of the baby, he decided to let it go. A lesson would suffice.
He grabbed her chin with his big hand and looked up. “Will you let me get up first?”
Isabelle was finally aware of her position and stepped back.
He got up and glanced at her. When they left, he held her hand.

Everyone in the room was surprised.
Alex said, “Warren, you forgave her? She almost cheated on you.”
“Do you want to watch her dance?” With a cold aura, Warren got mad. “Get lost!”
Alex and Marin didn’t dare to speak.
They could only watch Warren leave with Isabelle.
Alex smacked his tongue. “What a femme fatale. Isabelle is good. They’ve been married for only several days. Warren is already attracted to her. If that girl knows about this, she’ll be pissed…”
Marin wore a serious look. “Don’t talk nonsense. Isabelle may hear
you.”
Realizing what he meant, Alex shut up. But he couldn’t be quiet for long. “Isabelle signed a contract with Warren to give him a baby. Their marriage will last for a year. In the end, Warren and that girl will still…”
Marin narrowed his eyes. He didn’t understand Warren’s conduct tonight. Warren was hard to figure out.
When the car reached the villa, Isabelle got out first. Enduring the pain in her back, she asked Maggie to get her an ointment.
Watching her go upstairs, Warren was displeased. She asked him to come home, and now she left him alone?
Gloomily, he asked Maggie, “What did she say?”
“Ms. Spencer was hurt. She wants an ointment. Sir, please give this to her. Her face has gone pale from pain!”

Maggie could see that Warren and Isabelle seemed to have had a fight.
Warren was surprised by Maggie’s words. His thick brows knitted.
In the bedroom upstairs.
Isabelle was lying on her stomach. It hurt so much she could hardly get up. Hearing the footsteps, she thought it was Maggie. She lifted her clothes and said, “Maggie, I can’t bandage the injury. You’ll have to do it for me…”
With the clothes lifted, he could see her fair skin.
The look in his eyes got intense. Then, he noticed the big bruise and trauma on her waist.
“Didn’t you say they failed to kick you?” he asked coldly.
Hearing his voice, she looked back in surprise. Then, blushing, she hurriedly covered her back with her clothes.
Warren sat on the edge of the bed to stop her. He said angrily, “You were so badly injured. Why didn’t you tell me?”
Biting her lip, Isabelle said with reddening eyes, “Did you give me a chance?
“You turned around and walked away as soon as you were certain the baby was OK.
“I tried to explain, but you wouldn’t listen.”
Warren was lost for words.
Warren was still mad. “What did you want to explain? I told you to stay home, but you didn’t listen and went to the bar for pleasure. Had you imagined this before you went?”

Isabelle finally understood why he was mad. But there were things he didn’t know!
“I didn’t defy you. Mr. L, I didn’t go to the bar for pleasure. I was…deceived by George.
“The bartender called me, saying he fell after having an attack of high blood pressure, and that no one was there to get him back.
“I was too soft–hearted and stupid, so I went. George and Julia were waiting for me there. Those men were their musclemen. It was about Tonya. They wanted to scare me and make me have a miscarriage by kicking me in the belly.
“Yes, I regretted it. I deserved it.
“It’s not what your friend said.”
Her eyes were bloodshot. Tears streamed down her face. She turned her head sadly and stubbornly to wipe them off.
She didn’t want him to see her fragile side.
What she didn’t know was that her weakness had softened his heart.
Astonishment appeared in his eyes. He said in a low voice, “Why didn’t you tell me? I thought…”
“You didn’t give me a chance.” Now that his tone had softened, she felt even sadder. With a pout, she continued, “George wasn’t the only one that bullied me tonight. You embarrassed me before finding out what happened.”
Warren couldn’t retort to that.
Scowling, he asked, “Does it hurt?”

“Lie down. I’ll help you apply the ointment.”
“No…”
“Quiet!”
He was too bossy. Before Isabelle could refuse, he lifted her clothes and held her slender waist.
When he touched her, she trembled. They hardly knew each other. Although he was helping her, such intimacy made her blush. “Mr. L. be gentle…
His fingers were long and firm.
Warren paused. The look in his eyes became intense. At his touch, her skin became red immediately.
His Adam’s apple bobbed. He said, “Ms. Spencer, some words can be misleading.”
“Such as?” She was confused.
“The naughty ones,” he said in a sexy, deep voice.
Isabelle blushed from embarrassment when she finally understood
“I meant literally. Be gentle. It hurts,” she explained in a soft voice.
“Are you doing it on purpose?” His voice had become husky!
Isabelle also saw that she had made it worse.
Embarrassed, she covered her head with the quilt.
When she moved, his hand slid and accidentally held her hip.

Bending over her, he felt her waist was soft like silk as if it could be folded.
His eyes darkened. Suppressing his urges, he stood up and said, “Done.”
“Thanks…”
Isabelle shivered, feeling that touched by him, her back and waist seemed to be on fire.
The atmosphere became erotic, and he was breathing heavily.
She got up with her heart racing and straightened her clothes. “Well, go to bed!”
“I saved you and helped you with the ointment. Is this how you thank me?” Warren was unhappy.
Isabelle was baffled. She was only trying to spare each other the awkwardness.
“Mr. L, what do you want?”
In fact, he wanted nothing in return. He was just upset. She didn’t even thank him.
Seeing the innocent look in her eyes, he said intentionally, “Didn’t you promise to dance for me? Are you gonna go back on your word?”
Isabelle blushed immediately.
She only said that to coax him. Did he take it seriously?
Isabelle looked him in the eye. When she imagined dancing for him, her heart raced.

She shook her head and said, “I was injured. How can I dance?”
“Then, sing.” Her voice was so soft. Her singing voice must be beautiful.
Warren walked to the sofa and sat.
It seemed he wouldn’t leave until he was satisfied.
Biting her lip, Isabelle haggled, “Close your eyes…”
Warren smiled and closed his eyes.
Isabelle awkwardly began. Her voice was ethereal and comforting.
But soon after she began singing, he froze.
He grabbed her arms abruptly and asked with red eyes, “How did you know this song?”
