Without any further discussion, he squatted down once more, his large hand gripping her ankle, furrowing his brows as he closely inspected her injury.

After a while, he slowly said, “Don’t go to the company for the next few days, rest at home.”

Ann Nolan was furious.

“I’m not so delicate that I have to skip work over a sprained ankle. It’s hardly a serious injury. Moreover, I’ve only been at the company for a month. What does it say about a newcomer who keeps taking leaves of absence?”

She thought Zaiden was going to make a big deal out of her work again and was quite upset.

“The Santos family isn’t short of food or clothes, yet you insist on traveling so far for work,” Zaiden pressed down on his emotions.

“You still don’t understand me.”

Ann felt utterly helpless, with a glimmer of disappointment in her eyes.

After all they had discussed and the countless arguments, he still didn’t understand her.

Was it food and clothing she wanted? It was not.

“If you insist on going, then I’ll drive you in the morning,” Zaiden said flatly.

There was not much fluctuation in his expression, just a flicker of light in the depths of his eyes.

Ann was momentarily taken aback, her brows furrowing.

Bowing her head, she spoke slowly, “No need, the driver can take me. You’ve been very busy lately.”

“Not that busy.”

“Still, there’s no need. Have the driver take me,” Ann insisted, “In a day or two, my foot should be better. I’ll just apply the medicine on time.”

“Are you really rejecting me? Rejecting everything about me?” Zaiden held back his emotions.

Ever since he had entered the living room, he had been suppressing his feelings.

Ann didn’t understand where his temper was coming from–she felt so helpless.

“This isn’t rejection; this is considering your situation. You’ve been so busy lately, with a pile of things to handle. Having the driver take me serves both purposes–it won’t delay work nor your matters.”

Zaiden was angered.

“That’s settled then, starting tomorrow, I’ll take you,” he declared.

“No!” Ann firmly refused, giving him a cold look.

“If I say it’s okay, it’s okay,” Zaiden persisted, “I’ll take you up for a nap at noon. I’ll be just getting back and pretty tired, and I can sleep with you.”

With that, Zaiden scooped her up in his arms.

The man was strong, leaving Ann no room to resist.

Carrying her, Zaiden held her as if she were a light, feathery cat.

Although Ann was tall, she was very thin.

An outsider might think the Santos family was neglecting her.

“I’ll sleep in the study,” Ann certainly didn’t want to sleep with him.

They hadn’t seen each other for over ten days, and she had no idea what Zaiden might do.

“Afraid I’ll devour you? Huh?” Zaiden’s sharp gaze landed on her face, “I’m very tired; I don’t have the interest right now. You have an injury on your foot, I won’t touch you.”

Only then did Ann hold her tongue.

This man always had a strong desire, and having not seen each other for more than ten days, it’s possible… women outside had already satisfied him.

Zaiden carried Ann into the bedroom, their room, which was spacious and elegantly decorated.

They hadn’t taken any wedding photos when they got married. Back then, he used being busy as an excuse and had hastily registered their marriage with her.

Consequently, there was not a single wedding photo in the bedroom.

Only on the clean desk at the front was there a photo of Ann. In it, her smile was sweet and her brows and eyes were beautiful.

Actually, they didn’t even have a single photo together.

Zaiden gently placed Ann on the bed, his hands propped on either side of her, gazing at her intently.

Ann didn’t know what had gotten into him and felt very uncomfortable under his gaze, awkwardly turning her head away.
