Upon hearing this, Yvonne's face blushed instantly." Sue, what are you talking about? How can we...”
This wasn't a room in the villa. Even if it was, she wouldn't do that with Henry since she was pregnant.
"Of course I know that you won't, madam, but sir is very young still. I’m afraid he can't control himself." Sue pointed to the bathroom.
Yvonne didn't know whether to cry or laugh. "Oh, Sue. Don't worry about it. We know what to do."
"Alright then. Since you’ve said so, what else can I say? But if sir behaves inappropriately in the middle o f the night, you must call for me, madam. For the sake of the baby, you mustn't compromise," Sue urged worriedly.
Yvonne covered her face. "I know, Sue. Go and have a rest."
"Okay, I'll take my leave now." Sue walked to the small room.
Yvonne was the only one left in the ward. She looked a t the bathroom, then to the small room, and shook her head helplessly.
What was the matter?
At this moment, the bathroom door opened.
Henry wiped his hair and came out of the bathroom." What were you talking about with Sue earlier?"
He was in the bathroom, so he couldn’t hear them clearly. He only heard her exclamation.
When Yvonne heard that, she thought of what Sue had just said. She blushed and shook her head. "It’s nothing. Are you done showering?"
Henry raised his chin. “Do you have a hairdryer?”
"Yes, I'll get it for you." She lifted her quilt and got out o f the bed to get the hairdryer.
Henry took it and walked aside to blow dry his hair.
Yvonne went back to bed. "Do you want to visit Elliot later?”
Henry stopped blowing his hair for a moment but soon returned to normal. "No, I’ll go tomorrow morning."
"That’s fine." Yvonne nodded and said nothing else.
Henry's hair wasn't long, so it was dry very soon.
He put the hairdryer aside and walked towards the sofa. It seemed that he was ready to spend the night o n the sofa.
The sofa wasn’t very long and it couldn’t fit Henry fully. As soon as he sat down, Yvonne felt that he occupied half of the sofa. How would he be able to lie down?
Yvonne sighed as she was thinking about it. "About that.."
"Yes?" Henry looked at her.
Yvonne patted the empty space beside her. "You can sleep here. Although the bed isn't very wide, it’s enough for two people."
Henry didn't expect that she would let him sleep on the bed. His dark eyes showed that he was slightly surprised, but it disappeared very soon. Then, he smiled faintly, "It's fine, you can sleep."
"Come here. Your back will be sore the next day if you sleep on the sofa for a night." Yvonne patted the empty space beside her again.
Henry's thin lips raised slightly. "You care about me?"
"Of course. You’re my husband. Who cares about you if I don’t?" Yvonne rolled her eyes.
Didn't he ask knowingly?
"Since you care about me so much, I'll do as you wish." Henry didn't care about her impolite nonsense. He got up and walked over.
The corner of Yvonne's mouth twitched.
What did he just say?
It was as if she was begging him to sleep beside her.
With this in mind, Yvonne lifted the quilt beside her and said, "Come on up." 1
Henry took off his shoes and went to bed. He lay down beside her and pulled her into his arms.
Yvonne was startled and her body became stiff. She quickly said, "What’re you trying to do?"
Henry frowned. "Sleep. What do you think I want to d o?"
Yvonne held her hand. "I'm pregnant now. You can't..."
"I know and I'm not going to touch you. Let's sleep. I have a headache." Henry closed his eyes.
