Chapter 308

"Let's get the paperwork done first."

He chuckled low. "Fine."

"I'm leaving if there's nothing else."

His strong arm suddenly tightened around her waist, trapping her.

Evelyn struggled, but he only pulled her closer against his chest.

"Alexander Hamilton!" she hissed under her breath. "We're in a hospital!"

"Stop moving."

"Are you insane? Let go!"

"..." His breathing grew noticeably heavier. "Keep squirming, and you'll regret it."

She froze.

She could feel the unmistakable change in his body pressed against her.

"Six months," he rasped, voice rough. "Do you have any idea how hard I've held back?"

"Not my problem!"

"Before, I was afraid of scaring you—always restraining myself..." His lips brushed her earlobe. "Not anymore."

Thinking fast, she blurted, "I’ll take you somewhere."

"Oh?"

"Guaranteed to... cool you down."

Alexander narrowed his eyes. "Trying to run again?"

"Don’t believe me? Fine."

He smirked. "Lead the way."

She guided him down a long corridor.

"Where are we going?"

"You’ll see."

They stopped in front of a white door.

He raised a brow. "Urology?"

"Yes." She forced a neutral tone. "There are... educational tools inside."

His gaze lingered on her before he pushed the door open.

Seizing the moment, Evelyn yanked her wrist free and shoved him inside.

Bang!

The door locked behind him.

"Evelyn!" His fist pounded against the wood.

She exhaled in relief. "It’s the anatomy lab. Enjoy bonding with the skeletons!"

Silence.

Just as she frowned, her phone buzzed.

A photo from Alexander—

Him standing in front of a row of human skeletons, flashing a peace sign.

[Perfectly calm now. Care to join the tour?]

She nearly threw her phone across the hall.

This absolute menace!
