Falling For My "Disabled" Wife novel Chapter 10

Sophie smiled gently. "So, it's because of that? I don't mind."

Having been hidden by the Bourn family for so many years, with no one being aware of her existence as their adopted daughter, why would Sophie care if people didn't know she was the granddaughter-in-law of the Nicholls family?

"But I do," Roger said deeply with fury.

Sophie felt her heart warm. Although she didn't mind, both Daisy and Roger were indignant on her behalf. Being cared about by others felt good.

"It's no big deal. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future," Sophie told Roger with a hint of shrewdness in her eyes. Suddenly, she said gravely, "If I want, there will be opportunities anytime and anywhere."

Roger remained silent. His eyes were similarly dark and scheming.

The two quickly returned to the room. Roger carried Sophie back to bed. The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. After they took a bath after dinner, it would be time to sleep.

Sensing the tension in the air, Roger suddenly told Sophie, "You can sleep here tonight. I can sleep in the study."

"Are you sure..." Sophie's voice trailed off. The bed in the study seemed small. 'Would it be too uncomfortable for him?' she wondered.

Roger heard her concern and smiled. "Today is the first day we met, so sleeping together might be awkward. Let's sleep separately for a few days, and we'll see about the rest once we get more familiar with each other."

Seeing how considerate Roger was, Sophie sighed in relief. "Thank you."

Roger grinned. "We're married now. There's no need to be so polite."

Sophie was momentarily speechless and responded, "Right."

Roger didn't say anything more and turned to search for his clothes in the wardrobe before heading to take a shower.

Since she had bathed earlier in the day, Sophie only did a quick wash in the washroom before lying back on the bed. The weather was hot, so Sophie changed into a silk camisole sleepwear she often wore at home.

When there were men in the room, Sophie would wear short-sleeved nightwear. However, since Roger couldn't see, Sophie opted for something more comfortable.

Sophie applied a face mask and, when it was time, went to the washroom to wash her face. As the sink was relatively high, a thought struck her. Sophie glanced at the bathroom. She could hear the sound of running water. Thinking it was okay, Sophie stood up from the wheelchair, planning to wash her face quickly and leave.

To her surprise, when Sophie was done washing up and wiping her face, Roger turned the doorknob and walked out of the bathroom. Sophie was startled and couldn't help but gasp. Turning around abruptly, she met Roger's eyes.

Roger hadn't expected Sophie to be there. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it vanished instantly. His eyes returned to their dull state. "Why are you here?" Roger asked with a slight frown.

Startled, Sophie covered her mouth. She did not think Roger could sense her presence with just a gasp.

Glancing at the wheelchair awkwardly, Sophie quickly put down the towel and sat down with the support of the wheelchair. "Uh... I came over to wash my face. I'm planning to go to bed." Sophie didn't notice that, when she lowered her head, her cleavage was fully exposed because of how loose her sleepwear was.
