"I'm fine with that actually. Celeste and I don't have anything going on. It's just that Gary is quite possessive and unreasonable compared to me. Are you sure you want to provoke him?" Ernest smiled faintly as he spoke to Leah.
Leah was shocked. However, she quickly recovered and said, "Since I'm your girlfriend, aren't you going to protect me?"
Leah asked that question to see what Ernest would say.
"Are you admitting that you're my girlfriend?" asked Ernest, with a bigger smile on his face.
Leah paused and kicked herself internally. She'd literally dug her own grave with that question. She lowered her gaze and muttered, "It's not like I have any other man."
"Are you agreeing to us getting back together?" Ernest asked.
Leah paused before she took a deep breath and nodded. Then, she looked into Ernest's eyes.
He extended his arms outward, and Leah flung herself into them. She wrapped her legs around
Ernest's waist as they kissed passionately.
Of course, she couldn't be too dramatic.
Ernest had really put away all his ego and pride for this, so she couldn't ask for too much.
Of course, Leah was powerless against Ernest's charm.
Rationality flew out the window as they both entered the room in a hurry.
Ernest pinned Leah on the bed and they kissed for a very long time. As he was about to put it in, he paused and asked with gasping breaths, "Were you really not pregnant?"
Leah shook her head. "No, never. If I was, I'd keep the baby."
She could never bear to terminate her own pregnancy.
Ernest lowered his head and kissed her. Then, he looked up and said, "No, I'll take a shower. You can eat first. We can do it after you finish eating."
He was weary and dirty from the journey, so it wasn't hygienic to have sex before he showered.
Meanwhile, Leah was incredibly aroused. It had been too long since she got laid, and she felt like her youth was withering away.
Now, her body had come back to life again, and it was clawing with need. She was annoyed at how
Ernest stopped at the very last moment.
Nevertheless, he was right.
Ernest smiled at her expression and asked, "Why? Do you want to keep going?"
Leah's entire face turned red when she heard that. She nudged Ernest and said, "I'm going to eat, you go take a shower. Well eat together after you're done showering."
"Crack open the takeout I bought.” Ernest pulled Leah up and they walked out of the room.
Leah's legs were so weak that she could barely walk, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Honestly, she felt like she should take a bath instead as she felt sticky all over. However, Ernest had slipped straight into the shower.
Leah watched him walk around her house as if it was his own, and she felt like there was a lot to Ernest that she still didn't know. He was actually quite a dominant man underneath it all.
At least he was not passive this time around.
If Ernest hadn't taken the initiative, neither would Leah.
Then, the possibility of reconciliation would be zero.
Fortunately, he came to her anyway.
Her heart, which had gone cold, came alive again.
Warmth filled Leah's body.
Ernest showed that he still loved Leah through his actions, because he did not make any move on Celeste. Instead, he let Gary have her instead.
However, he took the initiative to ask her to get back together. What did that mean?
Hence, Leah felt that there was still a lot of hope.
Leah had no choice but to search for a bathrobe as Ernest didn't bring any clothes with him into the shower. On Christmas Eve, she'd bought him a big and fluffy bathrobe, which ended up in the back of her closet after their breakup.
