Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption novel Chapter 365

Chapter 365: Scaling through...

~Earlier~

After Davis noticed the change in the room, he took a deep breath, forcing himself to retain his consciousness and keep his thoughts straight.

Yet, with the lady’s act of trying to cling to him, keeping his consciousness became pensively difficult.

But with so many issues at stake, he forced himself to act normal and remain in charge of his thoughts.

With no one around, and with the aphrodisiac seemingly inhaled, he made a decision to seek the origin and how it dispersed.

A quick recollection of the series of actions he had taken since he arrived.

Since he hadn’t taken anything since his arrival into the box, and this scent had circulated in the room just when the lady stepped in.

It was clear she was the source of the smell, but where was it placed? This was a question he needed to answer really fast.

Taking a quick glance around the room, he decided to take a major gamble. "You wait for me for a second, I want to get something," he said.

Her hand slowly traced his distinct facial features, her voice low and charming. "What did you want? I will go a long way to make sure you are comfortable tonight."

Davis felt the veins of his body pulsating, yet he kept reminding himself he could not fail and that all was a plot to see him fail.

Slowly, he got his hand on the centre table and lunged forward, his intention to inflict pain on himself.

The lady felt scared and hurried to hold him back.

The wine in the tray she had served nearly fell from the table, but she hurriedly held it in place, her brow furrowed in contemplation as she stared at Davis.

Davis took a deep breath, his senses stirred more clearly as his legs numbed from the impact and pain coursed through his body.

With so much pain in his leg, he stood up and staggered to the door, his hand holding on the wall as though he clung onto life.

Carefully, he pulled the key of the door, holding it in his hand as the lady rushed forward. "Just a moment and I will be back," he said, casting a fleeting glance at her.

Without any further action, he yanked the door open and stepped into the hallway, clicking the door shut behind him. The fresh air washed over his face, patting it gently.

The lady, not expecting him to be swift, pounded hard on the door, but Davis, with the key in his hand, locked up the room.

He stood with his hand holding the knob with quiet strength and one motive clear—to keep her indoors.

After a bit, he staggered to the restroom. After splashing his face with water, he returned to the hallway.

Just in time for a waiter walking past him, Davis requested a tie and the waiter willingly sold it to him.

Seeing him leave, Davis unlocked the door and went in. This time, his goals were clear.

He swiftly adjusted the air conditioner to the maximum as it recirculated the air.

Certain the scent had been from her skin, yet she wasn’t affected, meant just one thing—she had resistance.

Then, it simply meant the drink she brought in might also be drugged, and she might not be resistant to infused aphrodisiac.
