Chapter 53- liar
She had just undergone surgery, and considering how weak her body was, Charles decided to wait until she recovered a bit before taking her abroad. This accident was a fatal blow for both of them, but it also made Charles even more certain of his feelings. No matter what the future held, it wouldn’t change his determination to have her by his side.
"I... I want to go to the restroom," Janet said softly, biting her lip shyly, her cheeks flushing as she lowered her head. Surrounded closely by his presence, that comforting feeling instantly returned.
During the two days he was gone, nurses had been taking care of her in every way. Even though they were women, Janet still felt uncomfortable exposing her most private parts to others, so she wanted to do it herself.
"You look well, your recovery seems good," Charles said, gently stroking her porcelain skin, which glowed with a healthy blush. Thankfully, their home stairs were covered with thick electric carpets, so they didn’t affect Janet’s body.
Charles scooped Janet up horizontally in his arms, striding confidently into the bathroom. He gently set her down, and Janet widened her eyes as she looked at him. Charles raised a teasing smile, placing a sanitary pad in her hand from the vanity. Leaning close to her ear, he whispered flirtatiously, "Need help?"
"No, no, you don’t. You go out first!" Janet’s face turned bright red all the way down to her neck. They’d only been together one night, but he was always so familiar with every sensitive spot on her body. His suggestive gaze and subtle hints made her both embarrassed and annoyed — yet secretly she longed for him.
Charles affectionately pinched her flushed cheek, then turned and left the bathroom. After five minutes, without waiting for Janet to call him, he swaggered back in and carried her back to bed.
For the following days, Charles stayed at the hospital. Janet asked him to go back to the company, but he just smiled lightly. Even when he wasn’t at the company, he was still familiar with every process there.
A strange warmth flowed through Janet’s heart. Every time he looked at her with that focused, dark, and stubborn gaze, a subtle sweetness surged inside her. She realized that, without noticing when it happened, she had already grown used to his commands.
