Mireya seemed to know what Rodney was planning to do.
Her instinct told her to kick him away. However, after struggling between pain and shame, the pain turned out to be more intense.
Ultimately, she let him be. Nevertheless, her chest heaved so much that her body felt unusual.
Rodney secretly looked up and found her eyelashes fluttering under the moonlight.
Was she awake?
She was not pushing him away despite being awake?
After a thought entered his mind, Rodney came up with an idea.
He took a deep breath before approaching her and kissing her lips.
Mireya’s heart began thumping at that moment. What did this mean?
How dare he jump at the chance to secretly kiss her when she was asleep?!
What should she do now? Should she wake up or continue to pretend to be asleep?
Upon noticing that he was pushing his luck, Mireya had no choice but to open her eyes and act as if she was awakened by the noise. She gnashed her teeth and pounded on him. “Rodney Snow, what the hell are you doing in the middle of the night…”
“Wifey, stop pretending.” Rodney grabbed both her wrists and said with a deep voice, “I knew you weren’t asleep. You were already awake just now…”
Barn.
Mireya was extremely shamefaced.
“No. I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“You’re acting opposite to your feelings.” Rodney had seen through her. When he saw her flushed face, he felt a tingling sensation. “You can’t get rid of me just because you’ve exploited me. I want you to compensate.”
“Compensate…”
Mireya’s lips were locked once again.
Rodney kissed her until she felt weak. He then said, “Don’t wake Dani. It took me some time to put her to bed.”
The second Mireya glanced at Dani who was sleeping soundly, she did not dare to breathe hard.
Nevertheless, once she gave in, Rodney pushed his luck.
The next day.
She was awakened by the baby’s cries. She was alone in the bedroom.
Mireya quickly carried Dani. However, the moment she caught sight of the hickeys on her skin, she wished the ground would swallow her up.
How wicked of Rodney!
Although they did not make it to the last step, he had touched the parts where he should not have.
What irked her more was that she was actually aroused…
Ahhh. She must stop thinking about it, or her head would explode.
After washing up, she had no choice but to put on a turtleneck sweater.
By the time she came out, Rodney was playing with Dani. When he raised his head and saw that her neck was covered, a trace of smugness flashed across his face.
“Wifey, you look good in this turtleneck sweater. “
Mireya glared at him in embarrassment and headed downstairs without replying to him.
In the dining room, the sitter pointed at the breakfast and said smilingly, “Young Master Snow woke up early this morning to prepare this meal.”
The breakfast on the table was not as great as what she had during her confinement period. There were only fruit juice, sweetcorn fritters, salad, boiled eggs, and meatballs.
If this sort of breakfast was served on any other day, Mireya would not have commented on it. At the thought that he interrupted her sleep for a long time last night, she was unspeakably grumpy.
“This is all?” Mireya purposely found fault with him. “They look unappetizing. I want to eat pasta and—“
“Aren’t you going on a diet?” Rodney interjected.
“What do you mean? Are you saying that I’m fat now?” His words hit a nerve in Mireya. “Ha. I knew that you despise me for being fat even though you said otherwise. Men are all liars.”
In the face of her criticism, Rodney showed an innocent look. He really felt that women were unreasonable. “When you had breakfast in the Lynch family’s house before this, you were the one who kept complaining about the oily food. You said that you couldn’t go on a diet because of the food. I referred to recipes this morning to prepare this meal for you. They may not taste great, but they’re all nutritious.”
When Mireya recalled it, she instantly felt ashamed. She did say that.
“Yeah, Young Master Snow personally made these chicken meatballs.” The sitter added, ” I wanted to cook pasta for Young Master Snow at first, but he said he’s afraid you’d be jealous if you saw him eating such good food. Hence, he said he’d eat the same food as you.”
Mireya was at a loss for words.
The sitter’s words made Mireya seem like she was being unreasonable.
Well, she was a woman. Women were meant to be unreasonable, right?
” If you don’t want to eat this, I’ll cook something else for you.” Rodney rose to his feet. “In fact, it doesn’t matter to me how you look.”
“Fine. I’ll eat this.”
Mireya picked up the glass of fruit juice and drank it reluctantly. “I still need to go on a diet.” Speechless, Rodney watched her eat.
He felt that women were really phony.
No matter how phony she was, she was still far better than Sarah, though. At most, Mireya was just insistent on saving her dignity. On second thought, he found her quite cute.
Her behavior was akin to his, was it not? They were always set on preserving their dignity. Anyway, the two of them were pretty cute, and they had similar hobbies too.
After breakfast, Rodney pretended to scroll on his phone. “Hey, do you want to watch a movie tonight? Let’s watch it early and return home after that. There’s a new blockbuster movie and it’s quite a hit.”
Mireya was aware of the movie as it was being widely discussed online.
She was vaguely interested, but at the thought of Dani, she fought back her urge. “No way. We can’t go out together. If we’re both not around at night, Dani will be unused to it. Why don’t you watch the movie tonight and I’ll watch it tomorrow?”
Rodney pulled a long face after hearing her words.
What a dumb*ss. How dare she call herself emotionally intelligent? Why would one watch a movie alone? It would only be romantic when both of them watched it together.
The sitter said with a smile, “Both of you can go together. Aunty Marie and I are around, so we can take care of Dani. What’s more, when the two of you start working in the future, you won’t be able to stay by Dani’s side all the time.”
“Exactly. If you’re still worried, I can ask my mom to come over at night. She enjoys looking after her grandchildren the most,” Rodney promptly said,” Besides, who should I watch the movie with? Given that Chester needs to work and spend time with a bunch of women, he won’t be free to keep me company. What more Shaun, who’s more concerned about his wife than his friends? He won’t even eat with me, let alone watch a movie with me. The rest are just fair-weather friends, so there’s no point asking them out. Come to think of it, I’m really lonely.”
A hint of dejection crossed his handsome face.
Mireya shuddered for a moment. This man suddenly became so melancholic that she could not help but have goosebumps.
On second thought, it hit her that she did not have anyone to watch a movie with either. Eliza, the star, could not possibly accompany her. On the other hand, Cate had to look after her kids and Shaun, so she would not be able to make it too.
All of a sudden, she could understand Rodney’s feelings.
” I’m going to buy the tickets now.” Upon noticing that she was silent, Rodney quickly booked the tickets. ” I’ll pick you up at 7:00 p.m. after work. “
“I…”
” I’ve bought the tickets. They’re not refundable, ” Rodney hurriedly added.
It was only when Mireya left for work did it occur to her that she was going on a date with… Rodney.
The minute Mireya left, Rodney swiftly drove to Chester’s house and dragged him out of his bed.
