Chapter 2338: Chapter 2338: Coaxing Her into Bed
The bouquet of yellow roses was placed in the most conspicuous spot in the living room, brilliant and captivating.
Jasmine Yale went to the bathroom to take a shower. As she passed through the living room, she could easily see the roses, and Sylvan Cheney was sitting on the sofa, working with a laptop on his lap.
"Do you want to take a bath?" Sylvan Cheney looked up from the screen, his eyes deep and serious.
"Mm, I can do it myself." Jasmine Yale held her pajamas.
"I’m not in a hurry. Let me help you."
With a "snap," Sylvan Cheney closed the laptop, stood up, strode towards her, and took what she was holding without asking.
He helped her run hot water and adjusted the temperature, then personally helped her undress.
Jasmine Yale was no longer shy like in the beginning and let Sylvan Cheney assist her openly.
Every time after taking off her clothes, Sylvan Cheney’s gaze couldn’t help but linger for a few seconds on the wound on her shoulder blade, the most noticeable scar on her body.
He really couldn’t figure it out, how could there be such severe scars on a girl’s body, there were some on her wrist too.
However, most physical wounds, like emotional ones, are things people are unwilling to unveil, so no matter how curious Sylvan Cheney was, he wouldn’t ask.
Exposing someone’s wounds is inherently an unethical act.
He just couldn’t understand why she had those injuries.
She spoke of having a husband who treated her well, so domestic violence was unlikely, and the scar on her wrist looked very much like a wound from wrist-cutting.
Thinking of this made his spine shiver.
Wrist-cutting? Was it because she couldn’t bear to leave her husband?
Sylvan Cheney frowned and stopped thinking further.
"Later, just go to sleep first. I’ll accompany you once I finish my work." Sylvan Cheney started to wipe her body, "I have quite a bit of work today, it might be a bit late, you don’t need to wait for me."
"In a couple of days, I need to go to the school to get a graduation report. Will you come with me?"
"Should I go get it for you?"
"No, I need to be there in person to sign for it."
"Alright, then I’ll go with you," Sylvan Cheney agreed.
Truthfully, he wanted to go with her.
He wished he could have all of her 24 hours a day embedded with him.
He admitted that the last time he saw her coming out of school with Yukon Carbon, he was really jealous, and that burning jealousy took a while to settle.
And the bouquet of daisies she had, they were beautiful.
Men can be just as petty as women when they’re jealous.
"Aren’t you busy lately? No business trips? You have time to accompany me to get the report?"
"Before you have the baby, I don’t dare to be busy."
"That won’t do, what if the baby doesn’t have money for formula," Jasmine Yale teased.
"Mr. Cheney here could sell his good looks."
"..." Jasmine Yale rolled her eyes at him, "So depraved."
Saying this, she used her damp hand to stroke his face, "Mrs. Cheney doesn’t allow you to sell your looks, because you belong to Mrs. Cheney alone."
She unwillingly hooked her arms around his neck, glaring at him.
Sylvan Cheney couldn’t help but curl his lips, "I know."
Jasmine Yale happily enjoyed her bath and could chat with Sylvan Cheney for a long time.
When he worked, she wouldn’t disturb him, but she really wanted to talk with him, constantly talking.
Even if it was like before, with her chattering on endlessly and him listening silently, it would be just fine.
But he must be by her side.
After the bath, Sylvan Cheney coaxed her into bed as if she were a child, and couldn’t help but place a kiss on her belly, with tender love in his eyes.
