Terence stood in front of the big bed and sized up Esther for a while. Then he stepped forward and bent down. He reached to her collar and unbuttoned the vintage dress.
He slowly pulled off the dress and saw two rows of ugly teeth marks. His face changed.
It was her ... the woman who broke into his bedroom that night and got bitten by him!
Feeling that someone was touching her, Esther wriggled and grabbed his hand while saying, "James, you can't do that to me. Please don't leave me...."
After saying that, she quieted down.
This woman was calling another man's name in her sleep and the man was James! Terence frowned slightly and pulled his hand back.
However, Esther was faster. She grabbed his hand tightly and put it under her cheek. She murmured sadly, "James ... don't go...."
Although Terence needed to get married now, he was still very picky. He never wanted a woman who still loved another man.
This Esther loved another man and that man was his nephew! Terence simply couldn't bear it.
Terence took his hand away from her embrace. He turned around and walked out without looking back.
When Esther woke up, it was already eight the next morning.
She felt uncomfortable in the tight wedding dress. So, she turned around with great difficulty, trying to get comfortable. But it made her even more uncomfortable.
She could only open her eyes and frown at all the red things in the room.
It was a strange bedroom to her. Even the air smelled different.
Then she remembered everything and totally woke up.
Yesterday was her wedding, a simple one with many complicated proprieties. No guests, no blessings, no groom.
She remembered that she had returned to the room early after dinner. She fell asleep on the wedding bed without taking a bath. She did not know what had happened afterwards.
It should be the wedding night between her and that terrible Mr. Sickly. Esther shivered and immediately lowered her head to look at herself.
When she saw that half of her red dress was taken off, she was so shocked that she sat up from the bed.
Yesterday, Terence unbuttoned half of the wedding dress. The left fell off after she writhed on bed all night. Therefore, her dress gaped open and she was almost naked. It just seemed that she had sex with someone last night.
Esther's face flushed red, wondering if Terence had come in last night. Did he sleep with her?
But why didn't she feel anything? She was so tired that she couldn't even wake up during that?
In order to figure out if she had sex last night, Esther lowered her head and carefully examined her body. Other than the scarred teeth marks, there were no signs of sex.
