422 Don’t Be in Such a Hurry
When Timothy’s lips came close, Samantha pressed her hands against his chest and stopped him. “Don’t be in such a hurry!”
The man raised his eyebrows and spoke in an extremely hoarse voice. “What’s wrong? Still feeling reluctant?”
“No.”
Samantha’s cheeks turned red and she said a little awkwardly, “I just...wanted to...take a shower first.”
She then pushed him again as soon as she said that.
Timothy stared right at her and looking at her kittenish attitude and let go of her with a smile. “Go ahead then. I can wait for you since...we still have a long night ahead of us anyway...”
Samantha glanced at him with equal parts shyness and annoyance. She then turned around and dashed upstairs like a panicked bunny before running into the master bedroom.
She went into the bathroom, closed the door, and locked it.
With her back pressed against the door panel, she listened quietly to the movement outside and breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that he did not follow her.
At the same time, the shyness on her face disappeared instantly and was replaced by a grave expression.
She previously could not determine whether Timothy was the main personality or the second, but after interacting with him earlier, she was more than certain that he was still the second character!
Anyone in her shoes might have been deceived, but she loved Timothy for many years and knew him inside out. She was almost deceived when the second personality tried to imitate the main personality.
However, feelings could never deceive her.
She did not feel her heart skip for Timothy’s second personality.
If the second personality still dominated his body, could the final hypnosis have succeeded?
Was the main personality completely killed?
It did not feel right.
The first reason was the factor of time. It was completely wrong.
The second was a question of why the second personality would pretend to be the main personality if the latter had been destroyed.
Samantha’s mind was a little confused at that moment.
All she knew was that the second personality had always placed himself above all else. Anyone who gets in its way would be killed directly.
Why would it pretend to be the main personality when interacting with her?
What else did she have that it wanted?
It was odd for a character like him to pretend to be gentle to her, expend so much effort to propose to her, and even wanting to spend a ‘first night like newlyweds’ with her...
Samantha gave it some serious thought but could not think of what use she would have for him.
Could it be for the shares that Old Madam Barker held in her hands?
Why should he want that when he never bothered about that in the first place?
She was still coming up with all sorts of guesses when there were a couple of knocks on the door.
The man’s voice came from the other side, “Sammy?”
Samantha was so frightened that she immediately returned to her senses. After gulping twice, she replied softly, “What’s wrong?”
“Are you alright? I was worried because I didn’t hear anything inside?”
The man’s voice was faint, but Samantha somehow picked out a somewhat inquisitive tone from him.
She took a deep breath.
Despite knowing that Timothy was pretending, she could not just uncover his lies like that.
Matthew was still with him, and she had to cooperate with him so that she could save Matthew from his clutches.
For the moment at least, that was the only chance and method she had!
“Ah, I’m fine. I’ll be done soon. Don’t worry.”
Samantha raised her pitch and deliberately put on a kittenish show. She then turned on the shower quickly and there was the sound of flowing water.
She then heard his soft chuckling, followed by the sound of his footsteps as he walked away.
Samantha was a little upset.
It seemed that the second personality was adamant to get her that night, and judging from the way he wanted to kiss her earlier, it was all but certain that he wanted to sleep with her.
Perhaps he believed doing so would be more convincing when he pretended to be the main personality.
Although she wanted to save Matthew, she was unwilling to offer up her body to him. Although Timothy’s body was still...Timothy, the soul inside it was not Timothy’s main personality!
If she refused, then the extremely suspicious nature of the second personality would not trust her!
What should she do?
Samantha bit her lower lip and was unable to do anything.
Time passed by the minute and she knew that she could not stay inside the whole night. She would have to go out and face him sooner or later.
It seemed that there was only one other option left!
Although she did not know if it would succeed, that was the only thing she could bet on!
She took off her clothes and stood under the shower head to take a hot shower.
Once Samantha was done, she wrapped herself in a bathrobe and took a few deep breaths to prepare herself mentally. She then opened the bathroom door and walked out.
