Ever since Olivia got pregnant, her daily routine had become quite disciplined. She would sleep at 10.00PM and wake up at 6.00AM without fail.
It was truly way past her usual bedtime when she made it home after 11.00PM last night. She was so tired that the last thing she remembered before she fell asleep was Eugene kissing her in the car. So, she had totally no idea how she made it back to the room.
As she opened her eyes, her mood instantly brightened as she saw her husband’s familiar yet handsome face. They had just gotten hitched yesterday and Eugene was now her husband. A smile unconsciously formed on her lips at that thought.
It was just that yesterday was a special day, but it seemed like it was no different than an ordinary day. She felt sorry for her husband because despite them being married, they still could not consummate the marriage.
Then, she gently touched his eyebrows and well-shaped nose and couldn’t deny that her husband was truly handsome from all angles. Suddenly, Eugene held her hand and effortlessly pulled her into his embrace.
“Let’s sleep for a little while longer.”
He sounded sleepy yet seductive. After a while, Olivia could sense a particular change regarding Eugene’s body. Since she was a doctor, she honestly wasn’t all that surprised by his morning wood.
Still, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat sorry for him. It was a strange feeling, especially when he hadn’t even uttered a single complaint. Perhaps it was precisely due to the lack of his protest that made her feel all the more guilty.
Fine. She had to admit, at least to herself, that she was someone who preferred gentleness over harshness.
Her soft body contrasted with his firm one, but she couldn’t help the little bubble of hesitance welling in her heart. As she moved closer, she gently whispered, “Do you want me to help you out?”
Although Eugene was still feeling rather groggy, her gentle voice definitely did wonders for his mood.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at her in disbelief, as if wondering whether he was hallucinating the entire exchange. Then, he asked with a tinge of uncertainty lacing his voice, “Are you… saying what I think you are saying?”
Olivia blushed as she scooted away from him and shot him an annoyed look. Then, she replied, “Forget about it.”
Alas, her reaction only confirmed his suspicions that his hallucination was far from one.
So, he quickly grabbed her hand as she tried to get away before he started coaxing her since he was thrilled she was willing to go this far. “Come on. Why not?”
Even though Olivia would only be providing a helping hand, it was better than nothing. In the past, she wouldn’t even offer such a thing and they would need a very long negotiation every single time before she finally relented to his wishes. Moreover, her temper became rather unpredictable with her current pregnancy. So, he truly never imagined that she would willingly offer to help.
This was honestly… straight out of his fantasies at the moment. Meanwhile, Olivia shied away as she looked into Eugene’s eyes which were full of intense desire.
By the time they emerged from the bathroom, one of them looked energetic while the other suffered from an aching hand… and a sore arm.
Olivia secretly despised herself for falling victim to her husband’s charms. Otherwise, how would she have ever voluntarily agreed to offer such help to him?
Yet, Eugene was in a fantastic mood. In fact, he had a great deal of energy to burn now as he carried her straight to the bed and proactively helped her to change her clothes-all while gently pressing his ear to her belly and sharing some little anecdotes with his ‘daughter’.
She used to think that he was being silly for talking to her baby when it was still no bigger than the size of a peanut. However, now that he was doing it frequently, she couldn’t deny that she had been infected by his behavior as she no longer found him silly. Instead, she only thought that his actions were nothing but endearing.
Eugene remained oblivious to her change of heart as he helped Olivia to change her clothes. Once that was done, he went into the closet to do the same for himself.
Thus, it was a rather bored Olivia who was sitting on her bed as she started to scroll through her phone. Suddenly, a headline caught her attention. ‘Baker Enterprise and Snow Group have formed a strategic partnership. Nathan and Lexie were seen leaving the hotel together. Will there be wedding bells on the horizon soon?”
