Cornell’s words were somewhat rude. It was in total contrast to his abstinent image.
After washing her face with cold water, Audrey’s face had already returned to its normal color. But after hearing Cornell’s words now, it turned red again. She stood rooted to the spot, not knowing whether to stay or leave.
Cornell leaned against the headboard and looked at Audrey lazily. He could stay in the hospital as long as he wanted, so he was not in a hurry at all.
“You know that I am injured, right? Do you think I can do it again?”
With a flushed face, Audrey didn’t hesitate anymore. She walked to the bed.
She realized there was nothing wrong with Cornell’s request. After all, they were still a couple. It was not against the morality, even if they slept together in the same bed.
Besides, Cornell was right. He was injured, so he couldn’t do it again. Also, she was pregnant. She couldn’t sit on the chair all night and make her baby suffer.
As soon as Audrey lay on the bed, Cornell held her tightly in his arms. He asked, “Did you come just now?”
He was so close to her ear that she felt his low voice sounded seductive and lustful.
Audrey was so thin-skinned that Cornell’s words made her face instantly flush.
She was so embarrassed that she clenched the quilt tightly and said angrily, “Cornell, stop it.”
Cornell chuckled.
“I’ve already made you happy. Aren’t you going to thank me? Don’t you think you should call me more affectionately?”
Audrey knew what he meant, but she couldn’t say it out loud. What they were doing now?
She wanted to avoid it, so she found an excuse.
“I’m sleepy.”
After this, she closed her eyes and pretended to be languid.
Cornell’s hand on Audrey’s waist stiffened for a moment. Then, the heat of his body seemed to cool down a bit.
Audrey knew he was angry, but she still didn’t dare to open her eyes.
There was a slight trace of fear in her heart.
Every time Cornell treated her a little better, she could feel her heart flutter.
Indeed, one could forget the pain after the wound healed. And she was the perfect example of it.
Actually, Audrey didn’t want to continue being like this with Cornell.
She feared that if she allowed him to continue treating her well, the affection she had struggled to suppress in her heart would resurface.
She knew that too much expectation led to desperation. She had experienced it before, and she didn’t want to suffer from it again.
Maybe too many things had happened today, which made Audrey exhausted.
The moment she set these thoughts aside, she immediately fell asleep.
Cornell was a little annoyed. And he was even more annoyed when he saw her fall asleep so quickly.
But he couldn’t do anything to her, so he could only let it pass.
Cornell watched Audrey sleep. He thought she looked more docile when she was asleep than when she was awake.
He wasn’t sure if she was dreaming, but her slender arm clung to his waist tightly. He couldn’t help lowering his eyes. Then he saw her lips slightly parted. There were also some bite marks on her collarbone.
Audrey looked so alluring that Cornell had the urge to kiss her again.
But he didn’t want to disturb her sleep, so he had to restrain himself. His jawline tightened, and he suddenly felt a bit restless and agitated. It seemed that inviting her to sleep beside him was not a good idea at all.
When he could no longer hold back, he held her in his arms and gently nibbled at her earlobe, causing her to move.
However, she didn’t wake up.
Cornell was patient. He kept nibbling at her ear.
Finally, Audrey woke up and opened her eyes. Her watery eyes lacked vitality, and she was a bit muddled. It was as if she was still in a dream.
It was only then that Cornell stopped biting her earlobe. But it didn’t end there. The next moment, he started sucking it. Then he said hoarsely, “Since you’ve been satisfied, it’s my turn now.”
“Help me…” Cornell whispered.
That night, Audrey regretted being softhearted.
They didn’t have sex, but it felt more draining than they had.
She learned the hard way never to buy a man’s shitty sweets. Audrey was kicking herself for this.
Exhausted from the previous night, Audrey was still asleep at 10 a.m.
Even when Matteo walked in, Audrey was still in a deep sleep.
Matteo had come into the ward to deliver some clothes for them to get changed.
The moment Matteo entered the ward, he saw Audrey, snug as a bug in Cornell’s arms. Her hair was a little tousled, and her bare shoulders were peeking out. Both of them looked attractive and alluring, making the whole scene look erotic.
Wait a minute. Wasn’t Cornell injured? How in the world did they sleep in this position?
But then, Matteo sensed a sharp gaze on him. So, he kept his head down, quickly set the clothes and breakfast on the table, and left.
Although he was on his tiptoes, the noise seemed to rouse Audrey.
Still caught between sleep and wakefulness, Audrey snuggled even closer to Cornell.
Her action undoubtedly pleased Cornell.
With a smile on his thin lips, Cornell pulled Audrey closer.
When Audrey finally woke up, she saw him fiddling with a tablet with one hand.
Upon realizing she was lying on his lap, she was stunned for a few seconds and then tried to move away.
Cornell, however, held her shoulders in place, rendering her unable to move.
He set the tablet aside and leaned down. Then he gave Audrey a light kiss on her forehead.
“Hungry?”
Such intimacy made Audrey a little shy. She shook her head and answered in a low voice, “No… I’m not hungry.”
“But I am,” Cornell whispered in her ear.
His words threw her for a loop. She had a feeling that Cornell’s hunger was for something other than food.
“I’ll get you some food.” Audrey got up. That was when she noticed she was wearing Cornell’s shirt, and her own clothes lay in a heap on the floor.
