Chapter37
Roderick looked down at her and saw that she had closed her eyes, long eyelashes casting a shadow on her pale face.
He tightened his arms as if trying to keep her forever trapped in his world.
“Andie.”
He whispered in her ear, almost pleadingly, “Don’t leave me.‘
Andrea didn’t answer, she just buried her face deeper into his chest.
There was her familiar scent, her cherished warmth, and her unforgivable betrayal.
Love and hate are like two tangled threads, wrapping her tighter and tighter until she can’t breathe.
Roderick carried Andrea to the parking lot.
Quinn stood at the hospital room window, watching them leave. He unconsciously crushed a few baby’s breath petals in his hand, and the white petals fell to the ground like a little snow.
Roderick kicked open the door of his mansion, making a loud “bang” sound.
Roderick at the entrance was like a different person.
Andrea was half–dragged, half–carried into the living room by him, and her ankle hit the door frame hard, but she gritted her teeth and didn’t make a sound.

“What on earth are you going crazy about?”
She struggled to jump out of his arms, landing barefoot on the icy cold. marble floor, her wound stinging.
Roderick didn’t answer, he just calmly took off his suit jacket and hung it on the coat rack, then unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves.
He had done this action a thousand times, but at this moment under the harsh white light, the taut muscles on his forearm sent shivers down Andrea’s spine.
“Give me the phone,” he said calmly, reaching out his hand.
Andrea subconsciously took a step back, fingers clenched around the phone in her pocket, “Why?”
“Just based on your abnormal behavior last night and today.”
Roderick approached, the sound of his leather shoes on the floor ticking like a countdown clock, “Just because Quinn came to see you for no reason, just because you smiled at her.”
His voice got lower and lower, the last few words were almost a whisper, but more chilling than a shout.
Andrea backed up to the edge of the sofa, bumped her shin on the coffee table, the pain made her eyes well up.
“Our relationship was totally normal!”
“Phone.”
Roderick interrupted her, moving his finger, “Don’t make me say it a third time.”
“Unbelievable!”

Andrea suddenly turned around and left.
She walked barefoot across the carpet, heading towards the bedroom upstairs, her heart pounding like crazy in her chest.
Roderick’s heavy footsteps came from behind, like an angry beast.
She rushed into the bedroom and was about to close the door when a bony hand pressed against the door panel.
Roderick was so strong that he pushed the door open forcefully, causing Andrea to stumble back. Her phone slipped out of her pocket and fell onto the bed.
The two of them both jumped onto the big bed.
Andrea’s fingers had just touched the edge of her phone when Roderick pressed her from behind.
His chest pressed tightly against her back, his hot breath spraying in her ear, “Let me see, what secret is worth hiding like this?”
“Get lost!”
Andrea screamed and elbowed hard backwards.
Roderick grunted, loosening his grip for a moment. She took the opportunity to roll over and scratched three bloody marks on his neck with her nails.
Roderick’s pupils shrank suddenly, like he didn’t expect her to resist that much.
His little sister was really naughty.
The brief shock gave Andrea a chance. She grabbed her phone and tried to run, but was pulled back by the ankle and dragged back onto
the bed.
