Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Evan still looked at the couple with a look of apology on her face. Leo was still cold and aloof when it comes to the emotions of others and did not give a damn to them.

"And here I thought that you have changed!" she sighed once she came back after they left in their carriage.

The man was already cleaning the table and Jenna was washing the dishes.

She did not have the heart to complain about his behavior when she noticed how diligently he was working.,

She slumped on the bed and closed her eyes when he brought a glass of warm milk for her. She felt nauseated just by looking at it. She raised her head and stared at him with a misty look in her big animated eyes.

She looked like a drenched puppy that needed the sympathy and love of her master but he knew her every trick.

She has been using them since the start.

"Evan! Even if you look at me with those eyes, you have to finish the whole glass!" He stared hard at her with no emotions telling her that he was not going to fall for her trick when she grumbled.

She muttered a few words and then looked back at him but he was standing there like a mountain that was not going to barge no matter what she did.

"I do not want to drink it." she said with an awful look on her face.

"You know how important it is to keep you healthy. Or you want to take medicines instead, hmm?" he raised a brow and to show that he was serious, he took out a small box of medicine from the table drawer and placed it beside the milk

Evan blinked. She looked at the medicine and then at the milk. Though she hated the smell of it for a few months, she picked it up instantly and even took a few sips hurriedly to show him that she was an obedient kid.

She raised her head when she finished the glass. She looked at him with an aggrieved look on her face but he still smiled and patted her head like she was a small kid.

She harrumphed coldly as she looked away when he left after taking the glass from her hands. But even when he came back, she did not pass him a single glance as if she could not see him.

Not liking the cold treatment he was getting. He took her in his arms and then placed her on his lap.

His father had already gone to sleep and Jenna would slip away after cleaning the kitchen so he was not worried of any intrusion.

He raised a brow at his surprised squall and how she tried to struggle in his arms.

"You know that I am not letting you go even if you struggle!" he said in a dominant voice as he bit her neck gently when she yelped and elbowed his chest.

But her anger was just like the pinch of the mosquito. He did not care much about it.

"Why are you in such a foul mood?" he asked as he licked the place on her neck where he had bit her and then rubbed her nose on the crook of her neck while bowling softly in her ears.

From the long time they have spent together, he knew her every weakness. He felt her melting in his arms and smirked when she leaned to feel more of his warmth.

"You were too cold and rude to Arden and Olivia. Olivia will feel that it was because of your past with her." she explain when he frowned. His perfect eyebrows scrunched as he looked at her as if he did not understand what she was talking about.

"We do not have any past together!" He said it with such a serious face that she did not know how to reply to him.

"If Olivia would hear it, she would choke to death!" she muttered with a pitiful voice as she shook her head.

"But you were cold when you refused to go to their party." she did not let the main matter go when he sighed.

"It is not like I am against them. I a happy if they get married but you know it is crucial time for both you and father." he said in a worried tone,

"Did you forget that we have already been attacked thrice. Someone is trying to kill you or your father. I do not know but it would be better if we wait until father returns to the palace where he is safe and you give birth to the child." he explained when she closed her eyes.

She knew that it was a difficult period for both of them and Leo was bearing too much for them.

"Fine! But once our daughter is big enough, you are going to take care of her all the time while I will go and enjoy the pirates and social gatherings." she said with fake anger but he chuckled and nodded his head.

"Yes, you do not need to worry about her. I am qualified enough to take care of her on my own. I am sure I will love and care enough for her that she would not even miss your absence." he said with a smirk on his face when she raised a brow as if asking how did you get so delusional but then only scoffed and leaned on to his warmth again.

"At least you should go!" she said after a pause, "if you are worried about us, you can leave Reynold and others for us. Please!" she smiled and blinked her puppy eyes when he shook his head.

He sighed as he knew that he could never win against her.

"Fine but then you have to drink three glasses of milk from tomorrow and have all the medicines on time too."
