It was then followed by sounds of unsteady and heavy footsteps. It sounded as if the person would fall over soon. Thomas was locked in the guest room and it was only Colten who was able to move around freely. Estelle cursed under her breath as she forgot to lock Colten’s room door. Skyler did not expect that there was someone else in the house. He immediately froze and came back to his senses. With a frown, Skyler moved Estelle behind him and whispered to her, “Is there an intruder?”The heaty atmosphere that lingered around the bathroom vanished almost immediately. Estelle moved away from his grip to pick up the towel on the floor and was thinking of explaining the situation to Skyler after making sure that she was covered. However, who could have guessed that in just a few seconds, Colten stood outside the bathroom door? Colten was looking for the toilet. He drank a little too much and he felt the aftereffects of it as he wanted to throw up.He located the bathroom and tried

Estelle felt chills run down her spine. Both Thomas and Colten expressed their feelings for her. The latter purposely flew back to the country just to grab a drink with Skyler while the former was bold enough to get into the house through the windows…Estelle was not that clueless and of course, she knew what the two guys had in mind. Perhaps that was just the way it was in the adult world. As long as they show respect to each other and avoid bringing up the obvious, everyone were able to get along well. She was already married and the guys took a step back. If they gave it enough time, they would be able to move on. However, who knew that Colten and Thomas would have been introduced to each other, and what was even worse was that Skyler happened to be around. The more she thought about what happened that night, the more Estelle felt dumbfounded by the situation. With the lights turned on, the living room was bright and Estelle's micro-expressions were shown clearly under th

Estelle’s sleepiness disappeared completely after listening to what Skyler told her. She turned her body over to face him and asked instead, “Well, do you think I’d do that?”“I don’t know.”Skyler laid down on the bed next to her. He smelled of clean soap but his skin felt cold. “Did you take a cold shower?”“Yeah.”“You’ll get a cold.”“It’s alright,” Skyler said as he smiled but it soon faded away quickly as he added, “Stellie, will you promise me something?”“What is it?”“Even if… even if there ever comes a day that you regret getting married to me and don’t want to stay with me anymore, promise me that you’ll be frank with me and not hide anything, okay?”Estelle sighed before softening her tone. “Skyler, you know me well, don’t you? I’m not someone who’d lie. Even if I’m placed in a desperate situation, I won’t be able to lie.”Skyler nodded and smiled bitterly. “I remember the times you acted tough. I won’t be able to forget that.”“I don’t know what I should say to

“Okay, bear with me then, I’ll be using more strength.”Estelle tied up her long hair and got on her knees instead of sitting down. She almost had half of her body weight pressed against his body but Skyler did not seem to be satisfied. He asked, “Can you use a bit more strength?”More?Estelle felt like her hands were going to break. She got up on her feet and placed one foot on top of his leg before saying, “You asked for this. If it’s too painful, let me know.”“Don’t worry. You’re so gentle, it’s going to be fine for me.” Skyler replied confidently. Even though she did give Skyler a heads up, Estelle did not put her whole weight onto Skyler’s leg while she stepped on his leg. Instead, she stepped on him while controlling her strength and with that method, she was able to help him relieve his pain and could also avoid any mistakes in case she accidentally worsened his injury. After having his legs stepped on for a while, Skyler flipped on his back so that Estelle could he

Seeing how Estelle’s face was glowing after a good night’s sleep, Skyler stared at her plump lips and teased half-jokingly, “Since you’re too sleepy to wake up, I guess I’ll help you shower instead.”Estelle who was feeling sleepy and tired just a minute ago was immediately wide awake when she heard Skyler, and cried out, “No! Please don’t! I can shower on my own! I’m old enough to take care of myself!”“Fine then,” Skyler finally achieved his goal. He had been in a good mood since the minute that he woke up. Skyler put her down gently back onto the bed. As soon as she was put down on the bed, Estelle sat up. Just as she was about to head to the bathroom to wash up, her legs gave her away and she nearly tripped over when Skyler caught her just in time and kept his hands around her waist until she put on the room slippers.Estelle was extremely embarrassed. “My leg caught onto the bedsheet.”“Mm, I saw.”“I… It’s got nothing to do with my legs.”Skyler pulled into a half-hearted
