My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 177

Chapter 177: Let’s Share The Bed
Kace arrived at his house, noticing it was quiet with only his housekeeper who seemed to be in his kitchen making a few sounds.

When the middle-aged woman noticed his presence, she welcomed him and Kace responded.

“Allison hasn’t returned yet?” He asked.

“Not yet. When I called her, she said she was on her way. She should be back soon,” the woman responded.

Kace nodded in understanding and marched towards his room. He needed to make himself look bedridden again.

Allison had arrived in the morning before going to college. When she left, he visited Selene and silently hoped she hadn’t returned yet.

Hearing the housekeeper say she was just on her way made him feel relieved.

Kace kicked off his shoes and kept them hidden. His clothes were next. He changed into his home clothes, not before wearing his bandage again.

Then, he ruffled his hair in front of the mirror before him, making him look more natural. When he was satisfied with his look, he hopped on the bed and pulled the duvet.

A few minutes later, the door to his room opened, revealing a white-haired beauty, dressed in casual jeans and a top.

“Why did you cover yourself completely with the duvet? Do you have a cold?” She asked with concern laced in her tone as she checked his temperature by placing the back of her palm on his forehead.

“I don’t have a cold,” Kace responded. Instantly, he regretted his words when Allison pulled her hand off his face. “You look tired,” he stated.

“And whose fault is that?” She questioned, almost glaring at him.

“I have no idea,” Kace responded.

Internally, he felt bad for stressing Allison out. The ride from college to his place took almost half an hour. He’d suggested getting a driver to take her anywhere, but she immediately refused before he could finish his sentence, so she had to take the bus.

He could see the black bags under her eyes.

‘Should I stop acting sick and let her rest?’ He wondered. Unfortunately, he loved having her around so much, he wanted her to move in with him.

But he knew Allison would smack him if he suggested that.

He remembered giving her a hard time when it came to her giving him his drugs. Everything was intentional, even though the drugs were ordinary vitamins he’d asked Mark to prescribe for him.

“Do you have anything you want me to do for you?” She asked, yawning softly as she covered her mouth with her palm.

Kace parted his lips to speak, but was interrupted by Allison’s ringtone.

He noticed her gaze darken when she saw the caller’s name.

“Excuse me,” she said before exiting the room.

Immediately, Kace got up and placed his ear on the door to hear her conversation. He had a very good idea who could be calling her, and he couldn’t wait to punch a hole in that person’s face.

“Where did you rush off to?” Derek’s voice stormed as soon as the call connected, which had Allison’s heart racing in fear for a second.

Placing her hand on her chest, she tried to calm her heartbeat as she exhaled.

“I’m home,” she responded.

“Are you sure about that?” Derek questioned.

“I’m home, Derek. You can go ahead and call my mother if you want to confirm,” she responded.

Since Allison was on good terms with her mother all because the middle-aged woman believed she was dating Kace, her mother had agreed to cover up for her while she spent some time with Kace at his house.

If Derek was to call her mother to confirm, the woman would gladly say she would home without stuttering.

“You’d better be, Allison. Now that I think about it, you’ve been disappearing quite a lot lately. Where have you been going all this while?” He asked.

Even though they weren’t in the same location, Allison could already visualize Derek spitting saliva everywhere.

‘I’m not your property,’ she thought to herself.

“I have a job, Derek, which I have to attend to. Do you understand now?” she retorted sharply, surprising not only Derek but also Kace, who was eavesdropping on their conversation.

“How dare you use such a tone on me?!”

“Look, Derek, if you don’t have anything important to say, then I’m just going to hang up. I’m exhausted. Dealing with you is the last thing I want to do tonight, goodbye.” She didn’t wait for him to respond, she hung up on the call.

Allison released a long sigh, trying to calm her nerves.

“The worst he can do is threaten to release the tape,” she mumbled.

Kace frowned, wondering what tape she was talking about.

He’d already done his assignment on Derek, and just like he thought, the latter was a school bully. From kindergarten to college, he’d always been a delinquent, belittling other students.

He’s had a few criminal records which ended him up in jail a few times, but he was immediately bailed out by his father.

Other than that, Kace didn’t find any sort of tape Allison was mumbling to herself about.

His curiosity piqued.

‘He’s threatening Allison with a tape,’ he concluded.

When he saw Allison walking back to the room, Kace immediately turned his heels and got under the covers again.

“Sorry it that took so long,” Allison said as she walked in.

“It’s alright,” he responded, his gaze on her. “I’m a little curious about your relationship with Derek…” he trailed, waiting for her to interrupt him as she always did whenever he spoke about her relationship. “How did it all start? When did you find out you loved him so much you were willing to be with him even when he beat you up?”

Allison stared at Kace, wondering what suddenly got into him to be asking her such a question all of a sudden.

Nevertheless, she cleared her throat, releasing a sigh before she responded, “Derek helped me in the past and I fell in love with him.”

“Do you still love him?” Kace asked.

“What did you want me to do for you before?” She asked, ignoring his question.

Kace was slightly relieved when Allison ignored his question since it only meant one thing.

“I want us to share this bed tonight,” he answered.
