Amid her messy thoughts, the door to her room was pushed open out of the blue.
Rodney came in hugging his pillow.
As soon as Mireya recalled her mother’s reminder, she told herself to be more emotionally intelligent. However, the minute Rodney placed his pillow on her bed, she could not help but ask, “What are you planning to do?”
“Of course, I’m going to sleep here.” Rodney placed his pillow beside hers. “I have to look after you and my child at night. Since this is the only bed in the room, I have no choice but to squeeze in with you.”
No choice…
Mireya took a deep breath.
Rodney, this b*stard, had always behaved this way. As a result, it was inevitable that she ended up in this state.
Nevertheless, she could not behave as she did back then.
She could not get hysterical.
She wanted to be a woman with a high EQ.
After waiting for some time, Rodney thought that Mireya would lose her temper and hit him with the pillow. Therefore, he had mentally prepared himself to be hit. Surprisingly, Mireya only fixed her eyes on him impassively and spoke coldly, “You don’t have to push yourself so hard. I can have Aunty Marie help me out at night.”
“No way. I have to take care of my child on my own. I can’t miss any moment spent with Dani, ” Rodney responded shamelessly.
A discreet smile spread across Mireya’s face. “Well, it’s not good to strain yourself.”
“I don’t mind, ” Rodney answered with a grin.
“But I don’t want to strain myself, ” Mireya said indifferently, ” I don’t have the habit of sharing the same bed with another man. You can take Dani with you over there. When she’s hungry, you can come and look for me again.”
“No way. Dani won’t be at ease unless she’s by your side because of your motherly scent.” Rodney was dead set against leaving the bedroom. This was a chance for him to sleep with Mireya more often in the future. Only a fool would let go of such a chance.
Upon noticing her resistance, Rodney raised his brows. “Don’t worry, I won’t touch you considering your condition now. I’m not a beast anyway. What’s more, the doctor said that Dani is extremely insecure as she was just born. The environment here is also new to her, so it’ll be better for us to accompany her tonight. As her mother, you won’t be so heartless, right?”
With that, he stared fixedly at her as though she would be considered a heartless mother if she spoke any further.
Mireya was at a loss for words.
What else could she say? She would go mad sooner or later.
“I’m going to bathe. ” Upon realizing that she was keeping silent, Rodney headed to her bathroom smugly.
Mireya flew into a rage. “You can bathe in your own bathroom.”
“I’m too lazy to go there. ” After Rodney finished speaking, he swaggered into her bathroom.
It angered Mireya to hear the splashing sounds in her bathroom.
Shortly after, the sitter placed a set of clothes and a towel at the door before walking out.
Mireya’s mouth parted as she was about to say something. Nevertheless, Dani should be hungry at this moment.
She was not bothered about him.
A few minutes later, the door of the bathroom was opened.
She looked up, only to see Rodney walking out naked. He nonchalantly took the pajamas and towel at the door before he entered the bathroom again.
Mireya blinked, feeling dumbfounded. Just then, something crossed her mind.
There was nothing else except the image of Rodney naked just now.
Mireya felt a sense of incredulity.
Before she could come back to her senses, Rodney walked out in his black underwear after wiping his body. His hair was wet, and water droplets were trickling down his chest. Below his chest were his defined abs.
She did not expect this flashy man to have abs.
Furthermore, now that he had bathed, he looked extremely seductive.
Despite his disheveled hair, he was even more good- looking than her. It was really… Unreasonable.
“What? I have a great physique, don’t I?” Rodney walked up to her with a grin.
Mireya lost her temper. “Are you out of your mind? Why aren’t you wearing your clothes?”
“I’m going to wear my clothes out here. It was sweltering in the bathroom.” As Rodney spoke, he put on his pajamas.
Soon, he appeared more decent.
Mireya took a deep breath. “Can you stop using my bathroom? Even if you bathe here, can you wear your clothes before coming out?”
“Why?” Rodney shrugged. “Why do I have to care so much at home? Your mom won’t come in anyway.”
“But you’re such an eyesore to me.” Mireya’s chest heaved.
If Rodney planned on seducing her with his wonderful physique, he could dream on. In the face of a b*stard like him, she surely would not be sexually aroused.
“Do I have a bad physique? Why am I an eyesore?” Rodney felt humiliated.
After all, he used to work out and swim every day. He had always been confident in his physique.
“You look unsightly from head to toe.” The words escaped Mireya’s mouth.
As soon as she finished speaking, silence befell the bedroom. The atmosphere became tense.
Rodney’s face darkened. He admitted that he had initially planned on seducing her with his good looks. However, not only did he fail but he also felt utterly humiliated.
He was really infuriated.
As a man, was he that lousy? He conceded that he had wronged her back then, but he had been striving to change his ways.
He wanted to be a good husband and father. Nevertheless, his efforts seemed futile regardless. It did not work on Sarah previously nor on Mireya at this point.
Frustration began to surge inside Rodney. Seemingly, his life was a failure.
Keeping an ashen face, he stayed quiet.
Once Mireya was done speaking, her heart did a flip.
Earlier, she had even contemplated improving her relationship with Rodney and being more emotionally intelligent. Little did she expect that their relationship would sour so soon.
It seemed… that she had gone a bit too far with… her words just now?
“Fine. I’ll take note of it and make sure I won’t be an eyesore to you.”
With that, Rodney took his clothes and strode away.
Mireya’s lips parted. A while later, she patted her forehead.
Oh well, her EQ was probably so low that it could not be helped.
Not only did she bring shame on her mother but also on Cate.
After going downstairs, Rodney drank a big glass of cold water. He had a strong urge to ask Chester out for a drink, but he suppressed it. Given that things were different now, he could not behave like how he previously did for his child’s sake.
After some time, he heard Dani bawling from upstairs. He reluctantly went to the bedroom.
Dani had pooped again.
After carrying her out of the cradle, Rodney skillfully cleaned her bottom with the sitter. Then, he gently put her to sleep before transferring her to the middle of the bed.
Rodney and Mireya slept on opposite sides of the bed without touching each other.
