Chapter 229 Nothing but Adult Affairs
Penny was feeling a little embarrassed at the moment, as she had no clothes underneath her bathrobe and was completely bare down there. She felt on fire when Orlando saw her in this state.
Orlando held a tube of ointment in his hand and only wore a shirt with several buttons undone, revealing his collarbone. There were bandages visible further down.
Penny figured he had come to ask her to apply ointment on him. Their rooms were nearby, and she had previously helped him with his injuries. She wasn't sure where Zane's room was, and Orlando didn't need to go out of his way.
Orlando's gaze fell upon her for a moment before he turned to go back to his room.
However, Penny was worried that if she didn't apply the ointment, his wound might become worse. After all, he had been whipped because of her.
"Is it the ointment? Come in," she said, stepping aside.
Orlando paused for a moment, his furrowed brows indicating his hesitation.
If it were any other woman dressed like this and inviting him inside, he would have thought it was an invitation for something else.
But this was Penny, and the reason he had been hit by the bug that night was because her gaze was too pure.
Now, she was just concerned about his injury and inviting him in, and that was all.
Orlando hesitated for a moment. He heard footsteps coming from the other side. It seemed someone was approaching.
"Orlando!"
When he heard Grace's call, he furrowed his brows tighter and walked straight into Penny's room.
Just as the door closed, the footsteps outside became louder, and someone stopped outside his door.
"Orlando! Do you want some fruit? Dad grows strawberries, and they're huge!"
It was clear that Grace's intention of bringing strawberries so late at night was not sincere.
She had noticed that, with Orlando's attractive appearance and status, almost every woman he encountered seemed enthusiastic towards him. As his supposed wife, however, she often avoided him and wanted to distance herself from him as quickly as possible.
She found it amusing but also became conscious that she wasn't wearing any clothes underneath the bathrobe, her body heating up.
Moreover, Orlando was now very close to her.
To ease the awkwardness, she gestured towards the sofa inside the room.
"Mr. Fletcher, please have a seat on the sofa."
Orlando didn't look at her, but the scent emanating from her kept wafting into his nostrils.
It was a delicate and fragrant scent, just like her.
If Grace hadn't waited outside, he would have opened the door and left.
Penny had already made her way towards the sofa, with the bathrobe only covering her chest to her thighs, revealing her beautiful collarbones above and long, slender legs below.
Orlando squinted his eyes. Was it okay for them to be in such proximity in this state?
Was it okay for a married woman dressing like this to stay with her client in a room? Orlando silently walked over and unbuttoned the remaining buttons on his shirt.
They were both dressed so minimally. Penny felt a slight blush creeping onto her face as she observed his movements.
His attractive appearance was too captivating. As he unfastened the buttons with his slender fingertips, there was a sense of suppressed desire, as if something long-buried would be brought to chaos and debauchery.
Grace's persistent calls continued outside the door, "Orlando, Orlando!"
The subtle atmosphere within the room dissipated significantly due to that voice.
Penny hurriedly took the ointment and removed the bandages on his body.
Round after round, as she finally caught sight of the wound, her breath became lighter.
The wound still appeared gruesome despite slowly healing. It was a bloody sight.
Gently squeezing some ointment onto her fingertips, Penny carefully applied it to the wound.
When her fingertips touched his skin, Orlando's body stiffened briefly, and there was a faint twitch at the corners of his mouth.
