Chapter 123 – Joanna’s Solution
"Isn’t that what married people do?" Alex asked, leaving Joanna speechless.
Little did she know that his absence was his way of protecting himself from her. If he stayed close to her, he might compromise his own principles.
Joanna chose not to say anything more and casually made her way to his bathroom, which turned out to be much larger than hers.
Alex followed her in and began to undress in front of her, prompting her to tightly shut her eyes. "Can’t you wait for me to be ready first?" she protested.
Alex chuckled. "Haven’t you noticed? This place was designed to accommodate all needs. There are two shower rooms." He then pressed a button, causing a blind to roll down and shield the glass partition between them, which Joanna had not previously noticed.
"Wow," she whispered in awe, never having encountered such advanced technology before.
After her shower, Joanna found Alex already dressed and waiting for her in the closet. He greeted her with a smile. "You took so long."
Naturally, he picked up a hairdryer and began to help with her hair. "Alex, you don’t have to," Joanna panicked, preferring him to keep his distance, but he was drawn to her like a moth to a flame.
His gentle actions sparked a fire within her, even as he loomed over her with his tall, attractive presence.
"There, much better than before," he said, checking the side of his closet where her clothes were arranged and picking up a casual outfit for her. "This will look good on you."
Joanna was confused by his actions but accepted the dress, expecting him to excuse her, but he didn’t.
