I swallowed saliva and threw a look at Ryan Campbell for help. Ryan Campbell seemed to be deliberately against me, standing behind his mother without saying a word.
Mother walked into the room and was confused for a moment. “Well, Irene, you… don’t sleep all the time separately, do you?”
“No, mom, I…” My mind is blank, and I don’t know what kind of reason to find.
Just when I was in a hurry, Ryan Campbell suddenly came over, sat beside me, stretched out his hand, and put his arm around my shoulder and said, “Irene says she wants to see the stars, so I’m here with her.”
A seemingly absurd excuse that comes out of Ryan Campbell’s mouth is surprisingly credible.
Mom glanced at the sky outside through the big window. There were no stars at all, but it was romantic to think that two people were sitting here and watching the night scene. They had been married for so long, and their children were about to be born. How could they still sleep in separate rooms? She must have thought too much.
Smile with confidence, she said: “Go to bed early, good night.”
“Well, mom, go to sleep, too.”
“OK, I won’t disturb you. Mom will leave first.”
Looking at the door closed again, I breathed a long sigh of relief. Then my eyes fell on the hand on my shoulder. I quickly shove his hand away and asked him, “Now , what shall we do?”
Ryan Campbell said, “Either sleep on the sofa or sleep on the bed together.”
“Why” I twisted my eyebrows, then thought for a moment and said, “You take the quilt, and you cover your winter clothes for me.”
Ryan Campbell lightly reminded: “My mother will definitely sneak back to check later. Seeing that I wronged you so much, my dad will get up and beat me in the middle of the night.”
I didn’t dare to take his words as a joke, just frowned and said to him: “I told you not stay here, and there would be no such things if we went back.”
“But now since we stayed, sofa and bed, choose one.”
How uncomfortable it is for two to squeeze on the sofa, Of course, O choose a spacious big bed.
I stuffy holding the pillow and quilt to the bed, I made a mark in the middle of the bed and said: “Half for each one, neither is allowed to cross the line.”
“Just mind your own business.”
I snorted, then lifted the quilt and lay down by the bed.
Ryan Campbell glanced at me, sat down on the bed, lifted the quilt, and squeezed directly beside me.
“What are you doing?!” I reacted fiercely, but he stretched out his hand and pressed me, easily imprisoning me in his arms.
“Why are you so afraid of me?”
“You let me go!”
Instead of letting go, he hugged me deeply. “Irene, did you hear me?”
” Let go!”
He smiled and said in my ear, “Your heart beats so fast.”
“I am breathless by you!” I deny it outright.
Irene Nadine’s pov
Seeing me blush, he became more energetic, slowly moving his hand down and gently placing it on my slightly raised abdomen.
My whole person is stiff, shrinking to hide, but I can not hide.
My whole person seemed on the verge of burning up, my body temperature rising and my hot chest sticking behind him, which fascinated me.
The little reason I have left tells me not to give in to the tenderness and temptation of this moment, “Ryan Campbell!”
“Hmm?”
“You, a great man, cannot keep your word! Go back and look at the agreement we signed!”
“Is the agreement that important?”
“I signed the handprint!”
He loosened me slightly, “The agreement only said I could not touch you, not that I could not touch the child.”
“You… if you do that again, I will… I’ll…”
Ryan Campbell smiled and waited for my next words. I suppressed it for a long moment and said, “I’ll tell your parents we are a fake marriage!”
“There are marriage certificates. How can you call this a sham marriage?”
I was confused and frustrated and said, “I’ll tell you everything, said you were drunk sleeping with strange women, your father must have beaten you to death!”
“I really did not know you had the guts to do that.” Not only is he not afraid, but he inspires me.
“Hum, do not think you are the only one who’s smart. If you do not stick to the agreement, I am going to tell your parents that you got yourself a mistress while I was pregnant!”
Ryan Campbell frowned, reached out his hand and grudgingly squeezed my chin with a smile, “Pretty smart.”
I shook off his hand and threatened, “If you do not believe me, you can try! Do you think I’ll dare to go… well…”
Before I finished my words, my mouth was seealed by that of a man…
He did not kiss me deeply, but symbolically bullied me, and it was as if he was forcing me to complain, more as if he was disregarding my threats of a moment ago.
I covered my mouth, wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, and looked at him. My eyes suddenly turned red. I pushed him off me hard and wiped back my tears.
Looking at her battered appearance, Ryan Campbell realized he had gone too far. “How old are you that you still cry?”
The answer to him was my crying voice: “If you do not keep to the agreement, I will not play man and wife with you in the future. Explain it to your family yourself, and I will go to school tomorrow.”
Ryan Campbell’s eyes went black. “You do not dare do that?”
“You can break the rule? You are not abiding by the agreement yourself, and I do not have to work with you anymore.”
“Do you only think about the agreement until now?” He said suddenly.
I silently, carrying the body, did not go to him, but firmly replied, “Yes, if I did not have a choice, I would not want to know you at all!”
Ryan Campbell thought his heart was strong enough, but after hearinng “I do not want to know you at all.” his heart was painful.
Was his involvement always anger and disgust for her?
“Do you regret it that much?” He sat up and let go of me completely.
And I was still cowering at the edge of the bed, turning my back to him, not wanting to look at him.
