Chapter 138 Ethan Tricks Jasmine into Taking the Initiative...

Back in the hotel, Jasmine woke up feeling groggy; the warmth beside her was comforting.

Instinctively, she snuggled closer to the warmth, only to snap awake abruptly. Looking up, she bumped right into Ethan's chin.

"Mmm..." Ethan winced in pain, his jaw turning a shade of red.

Jasmine was terrified and instinctively cupped Ethan's cheek. "Ethan, Ethan... Mr. Douglas, I'm so, so sorry."

Ethan reluctantly looked down at Jasmine; their posture was undeniably suggestive.

"I'm sorry...I didn't mean to; I don't know how I..." Tears were about to spill from Jasmine's eyes; she had no idea how she had ended up in Ethan's embrace while asleep.

"We're legally married now; didn't we also share a bed last night?" Ethan pointed out directly, his breath growing hotter.

In the past, he never had such a strong urge toward women; he had even thought his rationality could conquer his hormones.

To his surprise, once having a taste, he found himself irresistibly drawn to it.

"I..." Jasmine was so scared she tried to sit up, but since Ethan was holding her, she didn't dare move.

Ethan knew it was her last night, not Harper.

Jasmine wondered if he had always known.

Her eyes rimmed red; Jasmine anxiously looked at Ethan. "Mr. Douglas, last night, it wasn't intentional..."

She was on the verge of crying, unsure how to explain herself, afraid that Ethan would misunderstand or dislike her.

"I heard that if a husband doesn't sleep with his wife after getting a marriage license, it's considered domestic abuse and a neglect of his duties. That is against the law," Ethan explained seriously to Jasmine.

Jasmine shrank back. "Ah?"

"Mhm." Ethan nodded.

"So..." Jasmine bit the corner of her lip, wondering if they were obligated to fulfill their marital duties. "Is that mentioned in the prenup?"

"It isn't." Ethan coughed slightly, careful not to rush and scare her. "Let's get up; it's time to go."

Jasmine looked down, feeling a little panicked.

Ethan was a normal man, never lacking women's company; if Harper could manipulate him once, twice, there could be a third time.

"Can I...?" Jasmine feared Ethan might disdain her for feeling valueless or think she was tainted.
