Farren Austin was stunned for a moment and hesitantly opened his mouth.
Amelia Bright put the ice in his mouth, instantly relieving the burning sensation on the tip of his tongue, and the slightest coolness penetrated his lungs, as if stretching every pore.
“Don’t you move, just hold it.”
When she let go, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and not waiting for her to look back, her waist tightened, and her upper body was pulled down by a force that caught her unawares.
“Well …”
Her eyes widened, and the cold touch coming from her lips startled her.
Was this him kissing her? Fully awake?
When the tip of her tongue touched the ice in his mouth, she could almost clearly feel it melting at an accelerated rate, and she couldn’t help but shudder as her nerves tensed up.
The hot hand traveled up her thigh, a cool breeze passed through, and Amelia Bright looked stunned and pushed Farren Austin away violently.
The two separated, but remained in a face-to-face position, both breathing a little heavily.
Although Farren Austin was in a wheelchair, his calm gaze overpowered Amelia Bright’s head, making her feel as if she had made a fuss.
“What are you doing?” Her face stiffened.
“Kissing.”
“…”
Amelia Bright thought that Farren Austin must have been spiced up by the chili pepper and didn’t know what he was doing, so he did something like that, but he could look at himself and say “kissing” without changing his face.
So he was serious?
“The last incident was an accident, but that doesn’t mean I can just go with you in the future,” said Amelia Bright, whose brain is a bit confused. … you understand, right?”
Farren Austin looked at her with interest.
“Do you know what you’re talking about?”
“I …”
“I don’t think the word casual is used between couples.”
“But we had an appointment before, didn’t we work together?”
At that, Farren Austin’s gaze deepened a few points, “That doesn’t seem to go against the premise of a husband and wife relationship.”
“Are you going to be a real … real couple with me?”
“You think so?”
For a moment, Amelia Bright’s tongue was like a knot, and she could no longer say a word.
She felt that she had calculated for half a day, but only dug a hole and then jumped into it herself so.
After returning to the bedroom, Farren Austin watched Amelia Bright gather her pillows and blankets.
“What are you doing?”
“I’ll sleep separately from you from now on, just like before.” Amelia Bright sat on the bed and folded the covers, feeling inexplicably panicky.
“Why?”
“…”
What else could it be about? How could she sleep in this situation?
“Just because of what I just said?”
“It was agreed before, as long as everyone can save face,” Amelia Bright tries to explain, “but you’re suddenly like this and I …”
She couldn’t explain, and Farren Austin didn’t stop her from packing up her things, just sat quietly in her wheelchair.
A door opened suddenly, accompanied by Erlina Lee’s puzzled voice
“What are you doing in the middle of the night?”
Amelia Bright moved with a start and stiffened as she turned back.
Erlina Lee walked in with a tray of refreshments in her hand since Chambers, giving Amelia Bright a quizzical look, “What are you doing folding the covers if you’re not sleeping?”
“I …” Amelia Bright glanced at Farren Austin, who did not mean to relieve himself.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw another quilt on the bed and immediately responded, “I thought it was too hot to cover two quilts on this day, so I wanted to take one away and put it inside the cubicle.”
Erlina Lee frowned, “Yeah, I was going to ask you two days ago, what are you doing with two quilts on a hot day.”
Amelia Bright smiled and changed the subject, “Mom, what are you doing here? I thought you were asleep.”
Speaking of which, Erlina Lee’s attention was abruptly drawn back to Amelia Bright and she beckoned.
“Come, come, didn’t you not come back for dinner? The cook gave the herbal soup this morning to nourish your body, come and drink it.”
Amelia Bright hesitantly walked over, “Mom, I’ve already eaten dinner, I’m not hungry.”
“It’s not a question of hunger,” Erlina Lee looked at her meaningfully, “this is a remedy to help you prepare for pregnancy, you have to drink it every morning and evening until you get pregnant.”
“Huh?” Amelia Bright froze with her bowl of soup, “Prepare for pregnancy?”
“Ang, you are not young, if you don’t have a baby, it will be difficult to get pregnant in the future, hurry up, drink it while it’s hot so you can sleep.”
Under Erlina Lee’s eager gaze, Amelia Bright had to pinch her nose and drink the bowl of extremely weird smelling medicinal soup.
“Mom, I finished it.”
“How is it?”
“It’s a little bitter.”
“I’m not asking you about the taste, I mean,” Erlina Lee gestured as she flipped her hands over her chest, “did you feel any physical reaction?”
Amelia Bright tried to push down the flip-flop in her stomach, “A little … revolting.”
“Stomach is right,” Erlina Lee gleefully cleaned up the bowl, “This is to let you get used to the pregnancy vomiting more in advance, the baby can also come a little earlier, you hurry to clean up the bed, Farren, Mom is leaving ah.”
Farren Austin nodded slightly, but his gaze remained on Amelia Bright’s body.
After the sound of the door closing, Amelia Bright covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom, her stomach was fighting, she couldn’t get up and couldn’t get down, she dry heaves for a while, nothing came out, when she came out again, her face was white.
“Is everything okay?”
Farren Austin looked at her with a bit of concern in his eyes.
“Yes,” Amelia Bright waved her hand, “I’m just a little nauseous, I don’t know what was added to the soup, it’s too bad, I can’t, I can’t think about it, I need to sleep.”
I can’t think about it, I want to sleep.” With that, she hugged the blanket and went inside the cubicle.
“Are you sure you want to sleep separately from me?”
“Or what?”
Farren Austin reminded.
“Mom and the maid will knock on the door at any time, and sometimes it’s not uncommon for the door to come in unlocked, so how are you going to explain when you see you sleeping in the cubicle?”
Amelia Bright froze for a moment.
Erlina Lee was so eager for her to carry on the Austin family, and if she knew that she and Farren Austin were sleeping in separate beds, she didn’t even have to think about it to know that she was bound to make a mess.
When they come back to just establish the situation will be lost, but now let her and Farren Austin so sleep together, she really can not pass the psychological level, how can be a real couple?
Seeing her standing in the doorway of the cubicle with her blanket, looking indecisive, Farren Austin found it very interesting and looked at her quietly without saying anything, but to see how she was going to choose.
After a long time, the sound of the door turning in the room, Amelia Bright entered the cubicle with the quilt in her arms.
Just as Farren Austin frowned, she suddenly came out empty-handed, as if she had gathered enough courage to speak, and took two deep breaths in advance.
“Can I talk to you about something?”
Farren Austin closed his magazine and raised his gaze, “What is it?”
“Something about not sleeping in separate beds.”
