Chapter 326 Extra Story Living Together (Part One)


    "What do you have with you there?" Barry snapped back to his senses when he saw She


    inside. She was cradling a package between her hands.


    "Gauze bandage, a wound tape, and a hemostatic agent,


    she answered and sat by the foot of the bed. Barry hesitated briefly. He then reluctantly extended


    his hand so she could treat it.


    Sh carefully unraveled the gauze that covered his wound. She frowned when she saw fragments


    of ss inside it.


    "It hurts me when people like you are reckless," she expressed angrily and carefully took out the


    pieces of ss using a pair of tweezers. She cleaned the wound with sterilized water. "You''re so


    lucky. You have such a healthy body."


    Barry wanted to argue, but thoughts of Ray came to him. Ray had weak eyes. He couldn''t help but


    notice the tinge of resentment in Sh''s tone as she spoke. Barry sensed that it must be because


    she was thinking about her son. She was a good mother.


    Barry felt angry at himself as he reflected. It was crazy what he did, asking Sh to be his woman.


    But crazy or not, he couldn''t let her go now. He was determined to make Mary feel pained about


    everything. Maybe she woulde to stop his crazy behaviors.


    "Whoosh! It hurts!" Sh ignored his pain and applied some medicine to the wound. She drew his


    hand to herself, blew on it gently, and quickly bound it up. The bandage was nicely fixed.


    Barry blinked rapidly as he recovered from the pain. He looked at Sh''s drooping head and cute


    short hair. He managed to blurt out, "Keep your hair long!"


    "Hmm?" Sh was packing up the first aid tools. She raised her head quickly to hear him. The calm


    expression on his face almost made her think that she misheard. "What?"


    "Ahem..." He looked away awkwardly, leaned back into the pillow, and said slowly, "Your hair is too


    short. Whenever I wake up at night, I might think for a minute that it''s a man lying next to me. That''s


    what I said. Nowe to bed!"


    Come to bed? Right now?


    "I..." She quickly stood up from the edge of the bed and blushed uncontrobly. Her voice came


    softly. "I''m not feeling very well today. Please spare me tonight."


    She lowered her head down to her chest.


    If she had looked up, she would have been confused because she would have found that Barry''s


    face was redder than hers.


    Her expression amused him a lot. He was surprised to see how she blushed. His heart thumped in


    his chest uncontrobly. He had asked her to sleep in his room earlier that day. She had been in the


    room that Mary used to stay. He was still angry about everything, but he didn''t want to do anything


    to hurt Sh. She was such a silly woman. Why was she being so presumptuous?


    "What do you think I''m talking about?" Barry concealed his embarrassment with a loud voice. "I


    meant for you to sleep next to me! That’s all! You know I just had an operation yesterday. I''m still


    very weak. Even if you wanted me to, I couldn''t have sex with you!"


    Sh was stunned. The red color on her face instantly spread to her ears. She looked like a boiled


    crab! She turned around to hide her embarrassment and ran to the bathroom. She yelled as she


    ran, "I''m going to take a shower. Mr. Gu, you can go to sleep."


    "Jeez." Barry was speechless for a while. He shook his head helplessly at the woman. As he was


    about to unbutton his shirt, he thought of something and changed his mind. Hey down in his


    clothes instead.


    Sh rushed into the bathroom, leaned against the door, and took deep breaths to calm herself.


    Gosh! Did that just happen? She felt humiliated. Why did she have to say that out loud? She was


    ashamed about how she jumped to conclusions. How could she have said that? Holy smoke!


    Looking at herself blush in the mirror, Sh patted her cheeks quickly and calmed herself. "Calm


    down, Sh! Chill! It''s okay!"


    She started her shower and rubbed herself slowly. She wanted to stall for as long as she could so


    that he would be asleep by the time she returned to the room. It wasn''t until more than an hourter


    before she stepped out of the bathroom.


    Click.


    She gently opened the bathroom door. Barry seemed to be sleeping soundly. Quietly, she tiptoed


    towards the bed, d that he was asleep. She climbed in and tucked herself underneath the quilt.


    As shey down, Barry''s voice suddenly jolted her. "You spent such a long time in there. I thought


    you had passed out or something."


    "You are awake!" Sh pulled the quilt closer and screamed.


    "Don''t bother to cover yourself. My eyes are closed. Besides, it''s dark. I can''t even see you," he


    pacified sarcastically.


    ''How did you know I was trying to cover my body if your eyes were truly closed? Are you trying to


    fool me?'' Sh clutched the quilt tighter, not believing a word of what he said.


    "I apologize for what happened earlier today," he said. It was an apology, but he still managed to


    make it sound like a blend between humility and arrogance. He also sounded sincere and that


    made it meaningful to her. ''Tm sorry."


    Sh opened her mouth but said nothing. How could Barry apologize to her? How did he be


    so mushy all of a sudden? Was it because she had just bandaged his wound?


    "Stay away from that room, please. It''s a crime to go in there," he continued.


    "Understood," she answered curtly.


    ''Til pay you for the broken cosmetics tomorrow. You can get new ones for yourself."


    "Okay," she replied. That was another unexpected ie. She could buy a toy for Ray!


    "Okay, let''s goto sleep."


    "Wait, Mr. Gu." Sh sounded anxious. Since he was so easy to talk to that night, she felt she could


    bring up the issue.


    "What else?"


    "Well, urn... I know you are a good man," started Sh, lying beside him. She begged, "Please let


    me go! I don''t want to be the kind of woman that is ced in the dark. I will work hard and make


    more money for thepany, I promise. Don''t you like Manager Lu? You could work harder to win


    over her..."


    "Shut up!" Barry interrupted harshly. "Woman, do you think that because I apologized, you can now


    talk about anything? You are my woman now! Either you like it or not, you''re the kind of woman who


    lives in the dark. You have no right to bargain with me. Our rtionship can only be over when I say


    it''s over! Do you understand? I don''t want this to repeat itself ever again!"


    "Yes, I understand." Sh went quiet.


    "You must report your whereabouts to me every day. Make sure you return to the vi on time too."


    "Noted."


    Barry stopped talking and went to sleep.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Sh was stunned. She had just dug her own grave. Too bad!


    Lying still, she was so nervous that she couldn''t fall asleep. She didn''t get some sleep until thetter


    half of the night.


    The next morning, Barry got up early and prepared to go to work.


    He was somewhat surprised to find Sh sleeping soundly on the other side of the bed.


    He couldn''t believe that they had slept together peacefully the night before. Wow. It was incredible


    when he realized it.


    Barry slowed down the putting on of his clothes and wondered if he had been too harsh on the


    woman. He quickly pushed the thought away. It was all her fault! She always managed to make him


    angry. Or maybe it was he who constantly took out his anger on her. Barry found that he often lost


    his temper easily when he was with her.


    "It''s only for a while, Sh. After this is over, I''ll let you go. I''m sorry," he said to her sleeping figure


    quietly.


    After breakfast, he was in a good mood.


    "Good morning, Mr. Gu." At the gate, Jaime greeted him.


    "So early?" Barry smiled. "You are here to pick Sh up. You care about her very much, don''t you?"


    "Well, it''s my duty." With an embarrassed smile, Jaime asked, "By the way, Mr. Gu, do you wish to


    make your rtionship with Sh public?"


    "Make it public?" Barry raised his eyebrows, "Of course, I don''t want to. But if any news about us


    arises, don''t rify it. That''s all."


    "Alright sir."


    Tm going to my office. See youter.” Barry went into the car and Robert drove him away.


    Jaime became more confused as he watched Barry leave. He was used to the ups and downs of


    the entertainment circle, but he couldn''t figure out how these two got along.


    "Hello? Lucas?" Barry was on the phone in the car.


    "Yes? What can I do for you?" Lucas asked roughly from the other end. "Or do you want to invite me


    to another love and heartbreak moment and have us get drunk?"


    "I don''t have time for any nonsense," Barry said with a cold voice. "I have something important to


    request for."


    "Okay then. Go ahead."


    "I know a child who needs a cornea surgery. Please, help me keep an eye on the database of


    donations. Call me as soon as there are suitable corneas avable."
