According to schedule, today Edward decided to go horseback riding and shooting with Samuel and other friends. Although Julia had whined, asking him to stay in the room so they could cherish each other’s company.
Around seven in the evening, Edward was seen returning home. Just as he stepped inside, Julia immediately pulled him, inviting him to the dining room so they could enjoy dinner together.
“Julia, I haven’t showered yet. I can eat later after-”
“No.” Julia shook her head. “You have to eat now while the food is still hot. Besides, Bella cooked dinner tonight.”
Upon hearing Bella’s name mentioned, Edward reacted immediately. Moreover, he had already seen Bella sitting in the dining room.
Complying with Julia’s request, Edward followed his wife into the dining room. Even when Julia helped herself to some dishes and offered them to him, Edward accepted. After all, he thought it was Bella who had cooked. So, it would be a waste not to eat.
“I’ve already tasted it,” said Julia. “I just found out that Bella is very good at cooking.”
Julia took a spoonful of smoked meat with barbecue sauce from her plate. Then, she deliberately directed it towards Edward and fed him.
“Give it a try. It’s really delicious.”
“Julia.”
“Come on, darling! Seriously, you have to try it.”
Meanwhile, Bella observed silently how Julia tried to feed Edward. For some reason, she felt uncomfortable seeing it.
“Julia, I can feed myself.” Edward continued to refuse. Aware that Bella was watching, Edward tried to spare the pregnant woman’s feelings. Yet, he also knew that Julia was his wife.
“Come on, Darling. Why do you always refuse my offerings?”
Feeling uneasy, Edward accepted Julia’s spoonful. Reluctantly, he finished all the spoonfuls that his wife gave him.
“That’s enough,” Edward said again. “I’m full now.”
“Okay. In that case, let’s go to the bedroom. I haven’t even showered because I intentionally wanted to invite you to soak and play with bubbles as usual. Don’t forget, you also promised to spend this evening having sex with me.”
“Oh my God, Julia. You don’t have to say that here, do you?”
Julia laughed.
“Oops, sorry. But I think it’s okay. After all, only Bella heard it.” Then Julia turned to face Bella. “Bella, do you feel uncomfortable seeing my intimacy with Edward?”
Bella shook her head.
“No, ma’am.”
“See,” Julia said again, looking at Edward. “Besides, we are husband and wife. Why should we be embarrassed?”
Edward didn’t bother to respond. He quickly got up from his seat.
“Come on, darling! Let’s go to the bedroom right now. I can’t wait to cuddle and make love with you tonight.”
Julia pulled Edward to follow her steps to the bedroom. While Bella just looked annoyed and a bit frustrated seeing Julia’s behavior, which was so forceful towards Edward.
Shortly afterward, she grumbled softly. Imagining Edward spending the night making love to Julia made her angry at herself.
Damn!!!
Edward himself went straight to the bathroom to clean up. To avoid arousing suspicion in Julia, he reluctantly agreed to his wife’s request to soak and bathe together.
Knowing Julia was tired after returning from a long journey, Edward intentionally invited her to soak for a long time, hoping that she would fall asleep soon after finishing, especially since Julia had asked for fun in the evening.
Regarding lovemaking matters, Edward tried to find excuses to avoid it. He made up an excuse of having a deadline report to work on and asked for Julia’s permission to finish his work first.
However, while sitting on the sofa, Edward did nothing but play games. He deliberately lingered until exactly 12:30, when Edward found Julia had fallen asleep on her own.
Smiling, Edward felt relieved. Somehow, he had no interest in making love at all. Previously, even when angry, he was still willing to serve his wife.
Thirsty, Edward decided to get a drink first in the dining room. Walking slowly, Edward descended the stairs to the first floor. Entering the dining room, he was surprised to find Bella making milk.
Without hesitation, Edward approached. He immediately hugged Bella from behind.
“I missed you.”
Bella turned around immediately. Smiling, she returned Edward’s embrace. They even took a moment to kiss each other for a few seconds.
“Weren’t we just in the dining room earlier?” Bella asked when their kiss ended.
“But we couldn’t hug each other, Bella. So, why haven’t you slept yet? It’s already late,” Edward asked, still occasionally kissing Bella’s lips.
“Maybe I couldn’t sleep because I wasn’t accompanied to soak and make love earlier.”
Edward chuckled softly. He knew Bella was sulking and intentionally teasing him.
“Don’t worry. I didn’t do anything with Julia. She has been asleep since 10 o’clock.”
“You’re lying!”
“I swear. I didn’t even touch Julia.”
“Really?”
Edward nodded, trying to convince Bella to trust him.
“I didn’t do anything, Bella.”
“Maybe you didn’t do it tonight. But who can guarantee tomorrow night, the night after tomorrow, or any other night you two will make love? Yes, even though I realize that I’m nobody and have no right to stop you.”
“Bella, don’t talk like that.”
“Let’s just forget it.”
Bella chose to end the conversation. She grabbed the glass of milk, intending to return to her room.
However, as she was about to step away, Edward pulled her towards him. Cupping her cheeks, he gave her a long kiss to soothe Bella’s continuous annoyance and anger towards him.
“Never think about it that way. You have to trust me.”
Bella nodded. Her heart melted at Edward’s sweet gesture. She responded by giving him a brief kiss on the lips. Before they heard someone interrupting.
“What are you two doing here?”
