Brandan Hyde saw her behaving so obediently, and finally couldn't help himself; he leaned over and gently kissed her lips.
As soon as he kissed her, he felt her body shake violently, and her complexion visibly turned pale, even somewhat bluish.
Brandan was stunned, looking at her eyes filled with obvious fear, feeling as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, chilling him to the core.
He naturally still remembered his own past vile behavior.
Yet at this moment, seeing her in this state, Brandan felt like he couldn't say a single word.
"Don't be afraid..." His voice was a bit hoarse, as he rolled off Iris Harris, "I won't hurt you again."
This was once the closeness she had dreamed of.
But now, it scared her to the point of not daring to sleep all night.
She certainly should fear him.
What he had done to her in the past was enough to make her flee in terror a hundred times over.
