Chapter 40: Sex was inevitable in marriage
"Didn’t you agree to keep an open mind? As husband and wife, sleeping in separate rooms is weird. That is why I thought I should stay in your room from now on! That’s okay, right?"
No. It wasn’t.
Just as Dominic’s lips parted, Heaven patted his biceps and spoke. "Thanks. I’ll go wash up." And then happily walked past him, shutting the door immediately as if she refused to hear his response.
Dominic looked back at the door in disbelief. He fixed his eyes on it until he heard the shower, confirming he wasn’t just hallucinating.
’Stay in my room from now on?’ he wondered, and then frowned. ’I wonder what she meant by that.’
Everything she said was clear, and she made sure of that. But somehow, he didn’t understand it. Or rather, it was too hard to believe. Them? Sharing a room? Because having separate rooms was weird?
Who was the person who proposed to sleep separately? Heaven. How dare she say it was weird when it was her idea?
Dominic shook his head, drying his hair with a small towel as he marched to the other door where his closet was. He didn’t dwell on Heaven’s ridiculous idea, thinking she probably wanted to try to stay with him just to get used to him for a little while. He changed into a casual shirt and pajamas and then returned to his room.
When he returned to his bedroom, the shower was still running. He folded his arms under his chest, leaning against the jamb, feet crossed.
