When she looked in the direction of the bathroom near the living room, her eyes suddenly widened and she was dumbfounded.
"You... Why aren't you wearing any clothes?" Yvonne’s hands trembled as she pointed at Henry. She quickly realized something was wrong so she hurriedly covered her eyes and turned her back against him.
Henry raised his gaze calmly when he saw her making a fuss. "It’s not like you haven't seen it before. Why are you so surprised?"
Yvonne was annoyed by his reaction. "How could this be the same? It was... It was..."
"It was what? Say it." The corner of Henry's mouth was slightly curved.
Yvonne knew that he was deliberately teasing her, so she stomped angrily and said, "Cut the crap and just put on your clothes. This is somebody else's house so don’t be disrespectful."
"I don’t want to," Henry refused.
Yvonne thought she heard it wrong and the corners of her mouth twitched. "You don’t want to? So you'll just stay naked?"
"The clothes smell disgusting," Henry said with hatred. He didn't actually mean to be naked.
Yvonne raised her eyebrows in confusion. "Smell disgusting? No way!"
She didn't believe him and went to the bathroom to get the bathrobe he was wearing before and sniffed it. There was the faint scent of men’s perfume on it, and there was certainly no foul smell. 1
"You lied!" Yvonne held up the bathrobe and looked at Henry resentfully.
Henry was having the porridge she just made and when he heard that, he replied without raising his head, "The smell of other men is disgusting to me."
"Uh..." Yvonne choked. Only then did she realize that this man was a clean freak.
"But you can’t just walk around naked," Yvonne threw the bathrobe on the sofa.
Henry said, "I've asked Joe to bring some clothes over."
"Fine." Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid that he would really stay naked like that.
But it was weird to let him stay naked while waiting for Joe too!
Yvonne rolled her eyes when she thought about that. She went back to the room to get a blanket out and threw it on him. “Use this to cover yourself."
Henry knew what she meant. He did not have the habit of being naked either so he wrapped himself in the blanket obediently.
Yvonne didn't say anything anymore when she saw that he did what she said. She went to get his medicine.
As soon as he finished the porridge, she handed him the medicine. "Take this, the doctor prescribed it."
Henry glanced at the colorful medicine in the bottle cap and frowned a little before taking the bottle and raised his head to swallow all the medicine at once.
Yvonne quickly handed him a glass of water, fearing that he would choke.
Henry did not take the glass. He took two sips of water with the glass of water still in her hand instead.
Yvonne rolled her eyes. "You really know how to enjoy it."
"I'm a patient," Henry replied naturally.
Yvonne was speechless and she put the water aside." You're a patient, but you are not handicapped."
Henry looked at her and said, "I don’t have any strength."
Yvonne didn’t know what else to say and she immediately understood what he meant.
He was deliberately pretending to be weak so that she would take care of him.
What a cunning man.
"Well, I don't care. Since Joe will be here in a while, you're going back with him." Yvonne cleaned up the dishes.
Henry pursed his thin lips. "Do you want me to just leave?"
