Since her husband cared so much about her, Candice had no choice but to put down the thesis, and took another huge gulp of the milk. There was not much left of the milk, Robert put down his book and came to kiss Candice on her forehead, “Candice, be a good girl, I’ll go take my bath now.”
Robert had dropped such a hint, that Candice’s face burned, she nodded obediently but embarrassedly, “Okay, go take your bath, I’ll wait.”
When Candice saw that Robert had gone into the bathroom, she reached to touch her face, and it was burning.
When she thought of Robert’s craziness and strength last night, her body began to soften. She was a little afraid but a little looking forward to it, but her eyes were getting heavier, as if she had not slept in three days and nights.
When Robert came out of the bathroom, he saw that Candice was already sleeping soundly against the bedpost. He picked up Candice’s open notebook, and put her body down on the bed carefully. His finger slide over Candice’s tiny face, and could not help but said quietly, “Candice, you are so beautiful, unfortunately you are not my cup of tea.”
Robert changed his clothes, turned off the lights and left the room.
At downstairs, Emerson called Robert and pulled him into his room, and said quietly, “Robert, are you going to find Peter again? Since you married Candice, you should be responsible towards her. You leave Candice like this every day, are you not afraid of getting exposed?”
Robert said confidently, “Brother, it will never be exposed. Candice had drunk the spiked milk, she’ll sleep until the morning.”
Emerson’s face was dark with anger, “That’s medicine, not supplements. To drink every day like this, what sort of body could handle it? Robert, how could you be so selfish, you didn’t use to be like that!”
Robert ignored his brother’s anger. He even looked into the mirror to fix his already perfect hair, “I’ve consulted the doctor, taking the sedative is fine even for a year or so. Did you not help me consummate my marriage? Then you should go sleep with her a few times more, when Candice is pregnant with a baby, she’ll not be able to think about doing it for a long time, then I would not have to sedate her.”
Emerson was so angry that he was about to slap his useless brother. But Robert came closer, and whispered, “Brother, don’t lie about this. I know you liked Candice pretty much, it must have been great to sleep with her last night. Since you don’t have any women, just help me out and sleep with my wife, you’re not at loss for this, when she has the baby it’ll still be the Stewart family’s offspring. How nice, killing two birds with one stone.”
Emerson could not help himself, he still slapped his brother. He had reared his brother ever since he was eighteen years old, it has been ten years and he had never hit his brother once. This time, his brother had been too over the top.
Robert never thought that his brother would actually hit him, he held his slapped cheek, and clenched his jaw, “If you want to you can just go sleep with her, if you don’t I’m not asking you to. I would rather just divorce Candice in a year or so!”
Robert left slamming the door. Emerson looked at his hand, and stood in the room quite a while without moving.
Candice was deep in sleep, when at her side the bed sunk in, then a strong pair of arms circled her waist from the back.
The sedative must be increased after taking for a period, if not the effectiveness would decrease.
Candice felt a hot pair of hands touching her all over, she woke up drunkenly, and mumbled, “Husband, did you had a cigarette…”
Candice never got to say what was after that, as it was all swallowed by someone else. When she opened her eyes, at one moment all she could see was darkness.
