Chapter 10: Earn Money for Plastic Surgery

　　If Winfred hadn’t asked Vernon to check Alena’s previous hospital and offered to transfer her to another sanatorium after finding it out, no one would have ever found out about Alena’s medication being switched for several years! 　　When Vernon first learnt of this news, he felt furious even if he was an outsider. He could imagine how angry Lainey, Alena’s daughter, would be if she knew it without thinking. 　　“I think we should just tell Miss Warren the truth and let her know what an asshole Rooney is!” 　　“The fact that Rooney is an asshole should have been known to her for a long time.” 　　Winfred replied faintly, looking up from behind his computer, “Or why do you think she got wet that day? Haven’t you guessed yet?” 　　Winfred guessed that Lainey had long known that Rooney wasn’t a good person, but didn’t necessarily know that Alena was drugged and made mentally ill by her father. 　　Even if Lainey had discovered long ago that Rooney was bad, Winfred was not willing to tell her such a cruel fact. 　　She was so innocent, and she shouldn’t be hurt by these cruel truths. 　　Vernon was surprised and seemed to understand something after recalling the image of Lainey getting wet the day before yesterday. 　　After Vernon left, Winfred finished the work at hand and returned to the room to see Lainey. 　　Lainey was browsing job information online. Seeing Winfred back, she smiled sweetly, “You’re back!” 　　“What are you reading?” 　　“Job information.” 　　Lainey replied casually. 　　Winfred frowned, and that half of his already unattractive face looked even more uneven as a result. 　　He walked over, “Why do you think of getting a job?” 　　Was she looking down on him, thinking he couldn’t afford to raise her? 　　“You’ve paid so much money to transfer my mum to the nice sanatorium, then I have to pay you back. How can I make money if I don’t get a job?” 　　Lainey thought his question was a little strange. 　　“Lainey.” 　　Winfred’s face darkened. 　　He turned Lainey’s head to face him and asked, “Have you forgotten that you’ve promised to marry me?” 　　“Of cause not!” 　　Lainey didn’t know what Winfred wanted to say. 　　Winfred frowned more and more tightly, “If you marry me, your mother is my mother. Then I’m supposed to help her transfer to the sanatorium and pay the fees. You don’t need to return the money.” 　　All those women who had escaped tried to get money from him. But Lainey was the only one who actually thought of working to pay him back. 　　That really threw Winfred for a loop. 　　Lainey paused for a while, tilted her head to think for a while before she showed a silly grin, “Oh, that’s it. You are my husband, then my mother is your mother, so I don’t have to pay you back.” 　　Only then did Winfred’s eyebrows relaxed. He smiled, “It seems that we have to develop our relationship, or else what if you always forget about me as your husband?” 　　“How should we develop the relationship?” 　　Lainey asked naively. 　　“Huh. Let me show you. Just like this…” 　　Winfred laughed lowly, lifted her chin and lowered his head to kiss on her lips. 　　Lainey had never had the experience of kissing before, so she was shocked and opened her eyes wide. 　　Winfred’s face was so close that Lainey could clearly see how perfect that uninjured half of his face was, as well as how shocking that injured half was. 　　But right now Lainey’s mind was not on Winfred’s face at all. All of her attention was drawn to the minty coolness on her lips. 　　How could she put this feeling? 　　It was sweet and somewhat sour. Lainey could not describe this feeling of being kissed, but she knew that she didn’t resist Winfred’s kiss. 　　It was because Lainey didn’t resist, Winfred could not help but kiss deeper and deeper, and even had a sex impulse. 　　Fortunately, reason prevailed in the end. Winfred let go of Lainey in his arms in time. 　　“What’s wrong?” 　　Not understanding why Winfred suddenly stopped, Lainey stared at him with her big watery eyes and asked in confusion. 　　Winfred narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lainey, whose red lips were moist and swollen faintly after being kissed by him. He swallowed, turned his head away subconsciously to avoid looking into Lainey’s eyes full of doubt, for fear that he could not control himself and have sex with her. 　　“Ahem...” 　　Awkwardly, Winfred pretended to cough twice. He told Lainey with a stern face deliberately, “This is the way to develop our relationship. We may have frequent emotional exchanges in the future.” 　　Winfred thought that a simple girl like Lainey would have an expression of shyness or embarrassment or something like that after being kissed, but Lainey just nodded to show she got it in a very casual way. 　　“Okay.” 　　Although Lainey had not been in love, she was not an idiot. She had watched films and TV dramas, in which lovers or couples would kiss each other and have other intimate behaviors. That was very normal, so she did not think there was something wrong. 　　In Lainey’’s mind, since she had agreed to marry Winfred, it was only natural for him to kiss her. 　　Lainey’s attention quickly returned to the computer. 　　“Is there nothing you want to say?” 　　Lainey’s reaction surprised Winfred and he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows high and ask. 　　Since the time he appeared and lived with the mask, no woman had ever looked at him in a normal way, let alone get close to him. Lainey was the first girl who was willing to get close to him and was willing to be kissed by him. 　　Therefore, Winfred cared much about Lainey’s reaction. 　　“I have to get a job, so stop it, okay?” 　　Lainey said softly as if she was coaxing a little child, her eyes refusing to leave the computer. 　　“Although I don’t have to pay you back, I have to find a job.” 　　“Why?” 　　Winfred was confused. 　　If Lainey needed money, she could just ask him for it. Why should she look for any job so hard? 　　“To save up money!” Lainey replied brightly, “You used all the money to pay for my mum’s convalescence, so of course I have to work to earn money so that we can save up enough money for you to get plastic surgery!” 　　Winfred was surprised, “Is that why you want to work part-time?” 　　“Yeah! Don’t worry. I’ll definitely find a job and work hard to make money, then I’ll accompany you to Uscein for plastic surgery in the future.” 　　Lainey’s motive for making money had always been very simple. That was, to make money for her mother’s treatment. Now that Winfred had helped her complete this wish, there was only another one left, namely, to save up and take Winfred to get plastic surgery. In that case, he can return to a normal person’s life. 　　Winfred didn’t know how to describe the inexplicably complex emotions in his heart. 　　From the time he decided to continue his life with this mask back then, no one had ever cared about him like Lainey did. Even his father cared about him with a purpose. Except for Lainey, there was no one who had ever treated him so well without selfish ideas.
