Chapter 109

Doris sat on the sofa and patted the cushions. “I’ll sleep here.”

She thought, ‘What? Does he really think I’d go sleep in his room?”

The last time Laura stayed over, it wasn’t her idea to sleep with Lewis.

“Good choice.” Lewis raised an eyebrow.

He went to the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, and took a few sips.

He walked back to the living room, where Doris was focused on the TV, eating fruit. “I’m going to bed. Goodnight.”

Doris nodded without looking at him. Once Lewis was gone, she flopped onto the sofa like a deflated fish.

The house was quiet, with only the sound of the TV filling the living room.

Doris watched TV alone, losing track of time. She didn’t even notice when Laura appeared.

Laura stood between Doris and the TV. “Doris, it’s 10 PM. Why aren’t you going to bed?”

“I’m not tired. I want to watch a bit more,” Doris said, hugging her knees.

“You’re not planning to sleep on the sofa, are you?” Laura sat beside her, speaking earnestly. “Doris, whatever issues you and Lewis have, newlyweds shouldn’t sleep apart. Men can be turned on if you just act cute.”

“We don’t have any issues,” Doris said, so there was no need to act cute.

“Get up.” Laura turned off the TV. “Come with me.”

Doris‘ eyes lit up. It seemed Laura couldn’t bear to let her sleep on the sofa.

Doris‘ heart leapt with joy.

Laura took her hand and led her to the bedroom door, where she knocked.

“Laura, why are you knocking? You’ll wake Ari,” Doris whispered.

As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened, and Lewis stood there.

“Laura, what are you doing?” Doris tried to pull her hand free.

“Lewis, I’ve brought your wife back. You two have a good night. I won’t disturb you,” Laura said, giving Doris a gentle push.
