The water in the foot basin slowly turned cold, but the temperature of them embracing did not cool down at all. After a long time, only then did Bella release him, and said to Kevin with affection, “I go to pour the water.”
When she came out, Kevin had already opened a bottle of red wine and was sitting alone by the balcony drinking himself. She walked over and without saying a word, picked up the red wine and poured a large glass full of wine into her mouth.
“Can you drink it? You just left the hospital.”
Kevin looked at her lovingly. She wiped the red wine stains on her mouth and nodded, “It’s okay. Red wine is good for the stomach.”
Then, she lifted her head and took another big sip. Kevin snatched her wine glass, “Drink less.”
“It’s okay. You know I can hold my drink. A glass of red wine is not a big deal.”
Bella reached out to take back the wine glass, but Kevin refused to give it to her. He carried the glass behind his back, “I said no more drinking.”
“You’re too overbearing, too.”
She pursed her red lips in great dissatisfaction and feigned anger, standing on the other side of the balcony, having her chin cupped in her hands, looking around a couple or two walking at the beach side not far away.
Kevin drank most of the bottle of red wine by himself, and when he saw that she was still making a fuss, he asked with a smile, “Do you really want to drink that much?”
She rolled her eyes, “What do you think?”
“Okay, come here then.”
Bella ignored him and continued to look around.
“Come over here.”
He waved at her, and she angrily walked over to him. But all she saw was him patting his thigh, “Sit down.”
Bella didn’t know what he wanted to do, but she sat down anyway.
“I’ll feed you a drink.”
Kevin poured a glass of red wine and then asked her to close her eyes. Bella extended her hand, “I’ll drink it myself. I don’t want you to feed me.”
“Then you don’t even think about drinking it.”
He sipped the red wine and slowly tasted it.
Bella was particularly eager to drink tonight for some reason, but Kevin always tantalized her, “Okay, okay, you feed me.”
“Close your eyes.”
“What for?”
“If I tell you to close eyes, you just do it.”
She shook her head speechlessly and closed her eyes in cooperation.
Just waiting for Kevin to put the wine glass to her mouth, but didn’t want to actually wait for a soft and hot lips. She instinctively opened her mouth, then a cool liquid slid into her mouth and flowed down her slender throat.
When she suddenly opened her eyes, her heart thumped and she flushed, as if she was drunk or confused by his ambiguous actions.
“You play rascal.”
She shyly put her arms around his neck, her eyes tender, tempting him.
“I said I feed you.”
“But you didn’t say to feed me with your mouth.”
“If you don’t want it, what do you think I should feed you with? A cup? It’s too flirtless.”
Kevin said, and he took another sip of wine, then kissed Bella’s delicate red lips and slowly feed her the wine.
He was kissing on her soft and tender lips. The harder he kissed her, the more her head tilted back. Her long hair flying, she looked up and squinted at the moon in mid-air.
“I don’t want a drink.” She grumbled coyly while kissing, making a comfortable mumble, pounding him with her fist.
“Then let’s do something more meaningful.” He spread her legs and hugged her arms upward, heading for the stone table by the balcony.
She gasped and blushed. Her pretty face shyly buried in his hair. she pounded him and reminded shyly, “We’re on the balcony!”
“How unflirtatious we are to always be in bed? It’s more exciting to switch it up once in a while.”
“You’re focusing on flirtatious. But I don’t see how flirtatious you usually are.”
“So, I’m working on it.”
She should have known he’d be up to no good in tempting her with red wine, and sure enough! But wasn’t making out at this place too open? There were people walking on the beach outside.
“There’s someone over there.”
She warned urgently.
“Don’t pay any attention to these crazy people, staying up in the middle of the night and disturbing our business.”
“I think you’re the crazy one. Who does that on a balcony? You’re really crazy.”
“I’m also crazy for you. You can appreciate it.”
After taking a hot bath, her stomach growled. She took out her cell phone and dialed the home’s number. The one who answered the phone was her mother-in-law, very happy to hear Bella’s voice, “Bella, how come you have time to call me?”
“Mom, it looks like I didn’t even call you.”
Bella giggled and got back to business, “Have you guys had lunch yet?”
“Not yet, what?”
“Great, then I’ll go home and have lunch with you.”
She hung up the phone with joy and changed into clean clothes, then she left the villa and drove to the Cloud Mansion.
Blanche had already been eagerly waiting in front of the living room door. Seeing her return, she was so happy, “Come in, let mom take a good look. Have you lost weight in these two days?”
She patted Bella’s cheek, “Well, it’s OK. You’re not thinner.”
“Don’t worry. Your son takes me out to eat delicious food every day. I’ve gained a pound more than last month.”
At the mention of her son, Blanche looked sadness, “He still doesn’t want to come home and live with us, right?”
Bella was quite depressed, but could only answer truthfully, “Yes.”
As expected, Blanche was very sad and lowered her head and sobbed.
“Mom, don’t be sad. It’s actually not that bad. He just said harsh words himself that he won’t come back, and he was a bit too embarrassed. Please allow me to persuade him more. He’ll be back soon.”
“Really?”
“Of course. He told me himself last night that he loves you and Dad very much, but he’s just not good at expressing his feelings. So he often tries to save face.”
“Then I can count on you.”
“No problem. As long as I’m here, he won’t be able to leave you sooner or later.”
Blanche listened to Bella’s naughty words and felt much better, pulling her hand, “Let’s have lunch.”
Arriving at the table, seeing a table of sumptuous dishes, she was surprised and raised her eyebrows, “Wow, Kevin and I are not at home. Your standard of living seems to have improved.”
Lena smiled and said, “It’s mom who heard you were coming to have lunch and had the cooks temporarily cook the dishes.”
Patrick also laughed and echoed, “That’s right. We usually follow your mother to eat vegetarian, but today we can have meat due to Bella.”
The family sat down happily. Although there was one less person, compared to the frosty atmosphere of the previous few days, today’s atmosphere was considered to be very good.
“Eat more.”
Blanche vigorously put the food on Bella’s bowl. Bella were gobbling, mainly because she didn’t have breakfast, and she was too hungry.
“Hurry up to persuade your husband to come home. He always eats outside and it’s so unhealthy.”
“I will try.”
Bella nodded with certainty.
They finished the meal happily. After the meal, Bella rubbed her stomach and sat on the sofa, “It’s been a long time since I ate so much. My stomach is about to burst.”
When Blanche heard her say this, her eyes immediately became meaningful. She sat beside Bella and stared at her belly, quietly asking, “Have you been using contraception?”
Bella was embarrassed, blushing and shaking her head, “It’s been a long time since I used contraception.”
“How come you haven’t pregnant? You guys have been married for more than half a year.”
She was also depressed, “I don’t know.”
“Didn’t you go to the hospital to get it checked out?”
“How do I get this checked? How embarrassing!
Blanche frowned, “So, I will accompany you to the hospital later, and you have a good check-up.”
“No, we go with the flow of such things as pregnancy. When you can conceive, you will naturally conceive. But when you can not conceive, checking is useless.”
“That’s not what I said. I was pregnant after I slept with your father-in-law once. You guys didn’t conceive a child for more than half a year. It’s completely abnormal.”
Bella was getting more embarrassed, “That I don’t have to go. I’m still young anyway. There’s no hurry.”
“You’re not anxious, but I’m anxious. I’m watching someone else hold a grandchild and I’m so anxious.”
“There’s nothing I can do about being anxious. It’s not like I can conceive if I want to.”
“That’s why we have to get checked. We have to know what the reason is that you can’t get pregnant, right? And then you receive the right medication and will soon fulfill your dream of being a mother and me a grandmother.”
“….”
Bella rubbed her forehead, and was annoyed with Blanche’s nagging.
“Bella, don’t feel annoyed with my old-fashioned thoughts. I’m is doing this for your own good. In fact, whether I have a grandchild or not is not very important. Anyway, I will have sooner or later, but you’re different. How dangerous you are now? Freya is back, and is full of resentment towards our Jones-Sharp family, hating me for indirectly killing her parents, and hating your father-in-law for playing a conspiracy to force her away back then. She will definitely do everything possible to take Kevin back. It’s fine if Kevin doesn’t like her, but the key is that they have had three years of deep emotional foundation. So that your position is not so secure. If you have a child, it would be relatively much better.”
Bella was nervous, and her fingers tightly held together. She was silent for a while before saying, “If so, then I’ll give up. I don’t want to have a child so that we can be together, and I don’t want such a marriage.”
“It’s not that I want you to use the child as a talisman, but with a child the relationship between you and Kevin will be closer. Even though he once loved Freya, it’s impossible for him to ruin his family for her. The child is not a tool to maintain the family, but is a bond that can bind you tightly together, a love crystallization that belongs to both of you. Don’t you want to have a child like your lover?”
