    CHAPTER 629 FORCED COHABITATION


    He couldn''t understand why Raque agonized over that, but judging from the look on her face and


    what she said, he understood why she looked sad. He cocked his eyebrow and said, "I''ll pay for all


    your expenses, don''t worry."


    It was a little cliche, but it did cheer Raque up a little. "Thanks, but no thanks." Raque rolled her


    eyes after finishing her sentence.


    Frank felt that she had lost a bit of her aloof side, and she was a bit more human. She would never roll


    her eyes in the past. For some reason, he thought it was cute. "And now I''m forced to stay with you."


    Frank sat up straight. "I can pay rent."


    Raque did not like that at all. "You''re implying a long-term stay. I hope this will blow over in a few


    days."


    "Sorry, I don''t think that''s possible." Frank shook his head. "This is going to go on for a long time."


    Raque was speechless, but she could do nothing as this forced cohabitation life started its course. In


    the first few days, she couldn''t get used to his lifestyle. He spends the day sleeping only to y games


    at night.


    Furthermore, he would click away on his keyboard every time he yed his game. The soundproof


    system of her room sucked. As the sound of the keyboard clicking resonated through the walls, she


    couldn''t fall asleep. In the end, she got herself some dark circles.


    Eventually, she couldn''t take it anymore, so she barged into his roomte at night. "What are you


    doing?" At this rate, my head''s going to explode.


    Frank was in front of hisputer, wearing his pajamas. There was a hint of fury on his face, and it


    seemed like he just vented his anger.


    Frank turned around and wiped his anger away, recing it with a look of innocence. "Why are you up?


    Oh, sorry, did I keep you up?" He gave her a look that said, ''Sorry, I won''t do it again.''


    Raque couldn''t possibly scold him when he was putting on this look, so she sighed. "It''ste. Keep it


    down, and don''t stay up all night ying games. It''s not good for your body."


    Frank looked at her, his eyes clear and innocent. "Are you worried about me?"


    "No. I just don''t want you to drop dead. It''d be a hassle to settle the aftermath."


    And the anticipation was wiped off Frank''s face. "Fine. I''ll go to sleep." He turned hisputer off and


    went back to bed.


    Good. Raque stopped nagging and tried to leave, but he suddenly blurted, "I can''t sleep."


    "Count the stars."


    "I''m not OneRepublic."


    Raque looked at him. "What do you want then?"


    Frank pulled a book from the nightstand and waved it at her. "I found this storybook in your room. How


    about you tell me a bedtime story?"


    Raque''s heart skipped a beat. "Where did you find that?" Dammit, how did he even find that? This is


    embarrassing.


    "It''s just a storybook. Everyone reads it. Don''t be embarrassed," Frank teased, he noticed her going red


    after all. "I think girls who read storybooks are super kind and adorable. You''re adorable, so why do you


    put on that aloof girl act all the time?" I love the contrast.


    "I am not cute." The mention of that word alone evoked some bad memories, and she tensed up. At the


    same time, she went ahead, took the storybook, and tossed it into the bin. "Also, I don''t like storybooks.


    This is just a relic of the past I forgot to throw away."


    She turned to look at him again, but the look in her eyes was conflicted. "Goodnight." She left the room


    and turned off the lights before that.


    Darkness swooped down, but Frank''s eyes were wide open. He noticed something was off about


    Raque''s reaction. Did she run into something bad?


    Raque woke up the next morning looking pale as a ghost, much to Frank''s worry. He thought she ran


    into something the night before. "What''s wrong?"


    "My stomach''s acting up." Raque clutched her belly; she looked even more in pain. "I can''t make


    breakfast for you today, but there''s bread in the fridge, so you''ll have to make do with that."


    Raque sat on the sofa, looking like she was in agony. At that moment, Frank picked her up. "You


    should worry more about yourself." He was a bit angry that she didn''t care about herself. "I won''t die


    just because I skipped a meal." Thereafter, he took her back to his room.


    "What are you doing? I wanna go back to my own room." Raque struggled for a bit, but he held her


    down. "I won''t know whether you''re safe or not if you hide in your own room. Besides, you''d never


    trouble me anyway. What if you were to faint or something?"


    Frank thought he should worry more. If Raque were to hide in her own room, something might


    happen to her, and he would have no idea about it.


    Raque was then ced on Frank''s bed. As the scent of Frank wafted through her nostrils, she felt at


    ease.


    "So how did this happen? Any meds to solve your situation?"


    Raque tried to say something, but she shook her head. "I''m fine. I just need a rest."


    "What happened?" Frank frowned sternly.


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    "It''s…" It was a hard thing to say, and it took Raque a long time before she answered, "My period…"


    I see. Frank said, "Oh, so that''s why. That''s good to hear." Reminded of something, he tucked Raque


    in. "Get some rest. I''ll be right back."


    Raque tried to say something, but he hurried out of the room. Ten minutester, she heard footsteps


    closing in on the room. However, Frank stopped right outside the door.


    Raque''s belly might be killing her, but her hearing was acute. Frank seemed to be on a call, and he


    sounded impatient. "No, I am not ying any games. I have some ginger tea to brew. You and your


    game can suck it!"


    Ginger tea? Raque felt a surge of emotions creeping up her heart. At that, her heart skipped a beat.
