Since home delivery was fast and convenient in this day and age, I was worried that the bed would arrive at our doorsteps even before I got to dissuade Ashton.

By that time, I would have no choice but to sleep in the same bed with him.

As my mind wandered off, I didn’t notice that John had called me several times.

The latter raised his voice as he called out, “Letty, yoo-hoo! What’s in your mind?”

“Huh?” John’s voice brought me back to my senses. “What were you saying?”

With his brows knitted, John shot daggers at Ashton, casting blame at him for my absent-mindedness. “You never for once asked about Letty when she went missing for the past six years. Once she came back, you exhausted her in bed. Can’t you take care of her body and take it easy? You should be more considerate to her and control your desire. If anything happens to her, I will make you pay!”

 

Meanwhile, Ashton had paused eating while listening to John. He remained calm and impassive all the while.

I cast my gaze at him and then at John, realizing that the latter had misunderstood us. With my cheeks burning, I called out, “John! Don’t talk nonsense in front of the kids!”
