Once Bitten, Twice Shy-Chapter 400 - Marrying Her on One Condition

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Harmony’s red lips were within centimeters of contact.

Timothy’s expression seemed strongly repulsed. He never enjoyed being in close contact with anyone, especially when it came to any intimate behavior.

He did not understand where the fun was in that. Other men might enjoy it when women flocked to them, but he did not have the slightest interest regardless of who was showering their affection on him!

He raised his hand, pushed her away mercilessly, and said coldly, “Don’t overstep the line, Bunny.” ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m

Harmony did not expect that to happen and staggered back a couple of steps. Her eyes widened and they turned red as she looked at him, “Tim... We… We’re already going to get married... Are you that unwilling to let me…kiss you?”

The man glanced at her with a cold expression. Instead of answering, he asked, “Did you forget what I said to you?”

Harmony’s body shook when she heard that.

After Samantha ‘died’ three years ago, Timothy promised her that he would marry her, allow her to be Mrs. Barker, and give her all the glory and wealth she deserved after the three-year period expired.

His condition was...that he would not touch her!

He abhorred all forms of physical contact and was extremely repulsed to it. The reason was that he was a highly sensitive and very self-protective personality who could not tolerate such intimacy.

He trusted no one but himself.

Being overly intimate made him feel danger and it would also open an opportunity for his enemy.

Harmony agreed immediately at the time.

She promised him only because she was very confident in her hypnotism skills as well as her charm. Furthermore, a man—especially one that was as young as him—would always have physical needs.

He might be able to endure for awhile, but not forever.

She waited patiently for him to take the initiative and ask her.

Little did she expect that three years came and went without him ever touching her.

During that period, she thought of countless ways—both expressive and implied— to make him touch her. She did so many things, including deliberately seducing him, but he never once glanced at her from the corner of his eye.

However, she noticed that there had been quite a lot of intimacy with Samantha ever since Samantha came back.

Harmony saw that and thought that perhaps he was finally not too averse to intimacy anymore, but he continued to push her away mercilessly as always!

Why was Samantha always different?

Harmony found it a little difficult to calm down and her mental fortitude had shattered almost immediately!

If she could not get him, she was going to make sure that Samantha would not get him either!

Harmony bit her lower lip so hard that her lips had turned pale. She stared at the man’s indifferent face and suddenly thought of something when she said, “Tim, if you can’t accept intimacy, then there shouldn’t be any exceptions. Why can you accept it if it’s from Samantha even though you can’t accept it from me? Have you ever considered that the main personality is trying to control your body again now that Samantha’s back?”

Just like earlier, when the main personality woke up all of a sudden.

Had it not been for Harmony’s presence as well as the second personality’s resolve, it was possible that the main personality could not be suppressed anymore.

There were layers of darkness in Timothy’s eyes.

When Harmony felt the dangerous aura emanating from the man all of a sudden, Harmony sneered secretly and continued her efforts. She said, “Tim, we all thought that the main personality had been completely suppressed in the past three years, and perhaps even disappeared from this body. Now it’s obvious that the main personality is still waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.”

“You’re not averse to Samantha when she tried to get close to you, and you even saved her without hesitation even though you knew it was dangerous and you’ll get injured. It’s certain that none of these actions are what you intended. It’s the main personality that’s affecting you!” 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

“With my current hypnotism skills, I’m afraid I can’t help you to completely suppress the main personality, but...my master has already come to Capital City.”

“He contacted me and told me that he’s developed a new type of hypnosis after years of dedicated research. As long as you’re willing to accept it, you can eradicate your main personality completely. From now on, this body will be yours. You’ll be the only Timothy left!”

“Tim, this solution will settle things once and for all. If you agree, I’ll make arrangements for you immediately so Samantha won’t be able to affect you again!”

After saying that, Harmony’s voice slowed down a bit and she spoke seductively, “Tim… I’m doing it for your good.”

Timothy’s black eyes glanced across her and his expression became much heavier. There was an almost mocking look in his eyes and his words were merciless as he said, “Spare me your little tricks!”

Harmony had a somewhat embarrassed look on her face.

Whether it was the main personality or the second, he would always see through the actions of everyone before him.

Harmony gulped but still managed to squeeze out a sentence, “Think about it, Tim. I’ll wait for your news.”

Destroying the main personality would make Timothy hers.

He would no longer be influenced by Samantha and would only look at Harmony. The two of them would then have an entire lifetime together, and Harmony was confident that he would not go his entire life without ever touching her.

…

When Samantha regained consciousness, it was already very late at night. She looked at the white ceiling and realized that she was in a hospital.

Her entire body was in pain and her face tensed up uncontrollably as she gasped slightly.

Fortunately, she still managed to save her own life. Even though the entire disaster was planned by her, being alive was the luckiest thing that could happen to her amidst all that misfortune.

She only did that because she had no choice. There was no way for her to deal with the second personality because he was very extreme, and she had to use extreme methods to clinch victory by surprise.

Since she was still alive, it proved that Timothy saved her and her method did work!

The door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and there was the sound of footsteps.

Samantha’s throat was dry and hoarse. She was worried that she could not get up to get some water, so she hurriedly asked in a low voice, “Hello, Nurse, I’d like to drink some water please.”

The footsteps walked in the direction of the coffee table and poured a glass of water before coming to the bed.

One hand reached across her back and lifted her slightly while the other held a cup and raised it to Samantha’s mouth.

Samantha was just about to say thank you when she realized that something was not quite right. She immediately raised her eyes to look at the person.

The person holding her up turned out to be Timothy, not a nurse.

She was stunned for half a second before returning to her senses. With the help of his hand, she drank the water and said with satisfaction, “Thank you hubby~”

The word ‘hubby’ caused Timothy’s eyes to darken but it was very fleeting.

He put the cup on the bedside table but did not let Samantha go. He leaned down slightly, almost as if to hug her, and narrowed the distance between the two of them.

His eyes stared straight at Samantha, and she was both confused in addition to feeling a little chill coming down her spine.

Why was Timothy looking at her like that?

Could he have found out that she was behind the tampering of the car?

She had no way of escaping if he attacked her at that moment!

Just as Samantha was imagining all sorts of possibilities, Timothy finally asked, “Why did you risk your life to stop the car for me?”

Samantha breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she heard that.

That was all he wanted to ask, it seemed.

She was prepared for that long ago and her black and beautiful eyes met with his. She then said very sincerely and affectionately, “Remember when you previously asked me why I chose to go on a date with you? I can answer you now.”

“Timothy, I have loved you from the beginning until the end. I blocked bullets for you in the past and I can still risk my life for you now. It’s the same instinct.”

As she said that, she laughed self-deprecatingly, “I’ve never learned my lesson even after so many years, but...I did this willingly!”

The man’s expression did not change and he obviously did not believe her. He curled his lips coldly and sneered, “Can you really still love me even after I tried to kill you?”

Samantha’s eyes became a little sad, “Holding that against you isn’t love. If you ask me why, I can honestly tell you that I don’t know why.”

Timothy looked at her and a glow flashed in the bottom of his eyes. Samantha did not know what he was thinking.

The two of them were so close that their breaths were intertwined.

He looked at Samantha’s pale face and could not help but imagine the scene when she stopped the car for him without hesitation.

Timothy’s heart throbbed violently.. His big palm clasped the back of Samantha’s head as he planted his thin lips on her pale lips for a kiss.
