Candice looked at Robert embarrassedly. Her husband was a gentleman. Yet yesterday night, her husband behaved as if he was another person, crazy and full of strength, and made her unsure of how she managed to fall asleep yesterday night.
Alice Brown had told her that men were like professors with clothes on, but without them they would be like beasts. She was so true!
Robert lovingly pinched Candice’s tiny face, “You must be tired from last night. It’s still early, sleep for a while more.”
The more tender Robert said this, the more Candice’s face burned.
She had been so tired from last night. Yes, she was indeed tired from last night, but who to blame though? If it were not for this guy’s never ending wants?
“We are not the only ones living here, what about your elder brother? I rather not oversleep, I’ll wake up now to make breakfast for you two,” Candice Page said as she got off the bed.
“Candice, sleep more if you’re tired. The Stewart Family does not lack of a maid for cooking. I married you for you to be my wife, not a maid who waits on me.” Robert Stewart said warmly, his words extremely loving. Candice Page who heard it felt her heart warmed, and she could not help but lean on Robert Stewart’s shoulder.
Robert Stewart froze against his wife’s affections. He raised a hand to push her away, but could not bring himself to do it as he did so. At last, he put his hand down slowly, stopping at her bared back. So weird, he did not feel disgusted, and even felt good about touching. His eyes swept towards the smears of red in the middle of the bed, and his heart sunk like it just got hit by a hammer.
Robert Stewart silently clenched his teeth. For a man to ask another man to sleep with his wife and still felt great about it, he might be the only one in this world.
Candice Page endured the discomfort between her legs while getting down the stairs, and saw Emerson Stewart, her brother-in-law, sitting on the couch reading the newspapers.
“Good morning, brother-in-law,” Candice Page greeted him quietly.
“Morning,” Emerson Stewart did not even lift his head. His eyes never left the newspapers either.
Candice Page replied, as she carefully got across the couch past Emerson Stewart and went into the kitchen.
Her brother-in-law was always like this, with his solemn face on every day, not showing whether he was in a good or bad mood. Over a month that she had been married to Robert Stewart, she had never saw him smile once. But Robert Stewart was the complete opposite of his brother. Robert Stewart was warm, considerate, romantic, and always smiled to her. No wonder although Emerson was a few years older than Robert, he had no girlfriend even now. With a solemn face like this, any girl who stood a chance to be near him would be frozen to death.
Candice only dared to think complaining about the master of the family in her heart. Even if she had a hundred times more of courage, she would not have dared to tell her brother-in-law about this.
According to Robert, his parents passed away early, so his brother had to take over the family and its business when he was eighteen. If it was not for Emerson’s iron fist ruling, an unstable company could not have been expanded and strengthened, to the point where no one dared to look down upon them.
She respected and looked up to her brother-in-law like a god, so she would rather just worship him.
Candice Page worked for a while with Kim in the kitchen, then she brought out breakfast to set it on the dining table. Robert and Emerson came to the dining room and took their seats.
“Robert, you have been married for a month, and your honeymoon is over, you should recollect your wandering mind now. Go to the company to report yourself today, I have left the position of manager for you,” Emerson told Robert.
Robert Stewart looked reluctant, but yet he nodded his head obediently. This was part of the deal he made with his brother. His brother would help him in consummating his marriage, in exchange, he would attend work at the company.
Candice silently glanced between her brother-in-law and her husband. Weird, before this, every time her brother-in-law tried to get Robert to attend work, he would have found a myriad of reasons against it. Why did he agree with his brother so quickly today? Is it because he thought that after consummating their marriage, he should be more responsible and start living properly?
“Sister-in-law.”
Candice was in a trance when she heard her brother-in-law greet her, and she quickly raised her head to look at Emerson, “Brother-in-law.”
