Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife-Chapter 526

"I’ll take you to get this sorted." Romeo cradled her in his arms as he made his way to another penthouse suite.

The manager on duty on that floor caught sight of them, his eyes bulging in surprise. Mr. McMillian was rumored to be a private man, so it was quite a shock to see him so affectionate with a young girl.

Could the whispers be true? Was Mr. McMillian secretly dating someone?

Was this girl the one he was rumored to be dating?

She didn’t look more than seventeen or eighteen, probably still in high school.

Mr. McMillian certainly didn’t seem to mind.

Not having time to contemplate the situation further, the manager hastily walked over to them, pulling out his master key card to unlock another suite.

"Fetch the first-aid kit," Romeo instructed, his voice calm.

"Yes, sir."

Only then did the manager notice the faint scratches on the girl’s shin. Upon closer inspection, they seemed to be just a few minor cuts, probably from small stones or the like.

The manager thought, Oh, how vulnerable these young girls are nowadays.

A tiny scratch and she needs Mr. McMillian to carry her. She can’t even walk on her own. Such a spoiled girl.

As Romeo entered the room, he noticed the manager’s lingering gaze and turned back to ask coldly,

"Still staring?"

"I was just checking Miss Rose’s injuries to see if we need more medical supplies. I’ll go get them right away."

The manager, scared out of his wits, hurriedly left.

Romeo placed Rosemary gently on the couch, noticing the scratches on her shin and arm.

This girl was always getting hurt. He would have to look into getting some sort of on-the-go first aid kit.

"Don’t worry, they’re just minor scratches," Rose assured him with one glance.

"It’s nothing serious."

"You always say it’s nothing." Romeo looked at her injuries, his mind flashing back to when she’d plunged into the lake to save someone. Despite his frantic efforts to reach her, she’d swum faster than him. Thankfully.

He remembered the fear that gripped him as he chased after her, terrified that at any moment she might disappear from his sight.

"Next time, try not to get hurt, okay?" Although Romeo knew that Rosemary always put herself in harm’s way without a second thought, he still wanted to hear her promise to be more careful. Every scratch avoided was a victory.

Rosemary smiled at him. "Are you worried?"

"Yes. Every time I see you hurt, I wish the injuries were on me instead."

Romeo crouched down, cradling her injured foot.

"Look at your soft, delicate skin. These cuts will take days to heal."

"This kind of pain is nothing to me. It’s like a tickle. If it worries you, I’ll be more careful next time."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Moved and overjoyed, Romeo leaned in, gently pressing his lips against hers.

"Mr. McMillian, I’ve got the first-aid kit!"

The manager burst in like a whirlwind, stopping short when he saw Romeo and Rosemary kissing. He regretted his hasty entrance, realizing he’d interrupted a tender moment.

Romeo glared at him mildly. "You’re quite quick."

"I-I was just concerned about Miss Rose’s injuries."

The manager quickly set down the first-aid kit. "I’ll leave you alone now. Call me if you need anything."

Watching the manager retreat hastily, Rosemary couldn’t help but laugh.

"You scared him off again."

"He has no sense of timing." Romeo opened the first-aid kit and carefully placed Rose’s injured foot on his lap. He attentively cleaned and bandaged her wounds.

Watching him diligently tend to her injuries, Rose teased, "You’re getting quite good at this."

"That’s because you keep getting hurt."

Romeo was gentle and careful with his ministrations. He looked up at her, his handsome face filled with concern.

"Does it hurt?"

Rosemary shook her head.

"The resort stocks only the usual over-the-counter medicines. They don’t have any special stuff. Some might sting your wound. If it hurts, let me know. I’ll have someone fetch different ones."

"No need to go to all that trouble." Rosemary smiled. "I’ll be heading back soon."

"You’re already here. Why don’t you invite your friends for dinner before you leave?"

Romeo wrapped up the wound on her calf, then disinfected the one on her arm.

Holding her soft hand, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of discomfort seeing the wound on her delicate, fair skin.

Rosemary thought of her two friends enjoying the hot springs. By now, they must be starving.

"Alright, we’ll grab something to eat before we leave."

There probably won’t be much to eat when they return to the campus.

After Romeo finished dressing her wounds, he pulled her into a warm embrace.

"I haven’t seen you much these past few days." He looked into her eyes, a hint of regret in his voice.

"You’ve been really busy."

"Aren’t we together now?" Rosemary smiled at him. "Get up. The floor is cold."

Romeo remained kneeling on the floor, greedily inhaling her scent, unwilling to let her go.

Rosemary lightly patted his back.

"The hairpin you gave me is really useful. I’ll always keep it with me."

"I’d prefer if you kept me with you." Romeo lowered his gaze to look at her, once again succumbing to the urge to kiss her lips.

"Rose."

Joyce, helping a limping Mavis, found them in this intimate moment and was instantly stunned.

She quickly recovered and said, "We must have gotten the rooms mixed up.

Manager, could you show us the way? We were enjoying the hot springs in which room again?"

The manager outside the door was confused. Weren’t these girls just asking him for directions to find Ms. Rose?

Ignoring Joyce’s frantic eye signals, he heard Rosemary’s voice from inside the room.

"Let’s all go grab a bite to eat."

Romeo looked at the girl in front of him, struggling with a sudden longing for some alone time with her.

"No need, we’re not hungry."

Mavis didn’t want to intrude. She realized now why Rosemary had excused herself from the hot springs earlier. She’d come to be with Romeo!

The image of Romeo kneeling and kissing Rosemary filled Mavis with a rush of envy. She had no idea the two were so attached in private.

And the surprising part was, Romeo wasn’t the overbearing CEO type, but more like a lovestruck puppy in private. His affectionate demeanor was incredibly charming.

In comparison, Rosemary was like a queen, sitting back and enjoying his adoration.

"You guys carry on, we’ll head back. We haven’t finished our hot spring bath."

Mavis, still limping, hurriedly pulled Joyce away.

"Your friend said we could continue."

Romeo once again leaned in to kiss Rosemary, their passion deepening.

Meanwhile, Joyce and Mavis returned to their presidential suite, hearts still racing.

For the uninitiated in love, the scene they’d just witnessed was shockingly intimate and sweet.

"Rose is so impressive, capturing such an outstanding man. Romeo’s eyes were full of her just now. It’s clear he really likes her," Mavis commented sincerely.
