Chapter 293: The Mysterious Man 5
| pursed my lips, “I had some lobsters. Leo bought them for me. There are still some leftover. Would
you like to have some?"
Dennis looked at me, and gave me an irrelevant answer, “I''d rather devour you now.”
| was surprised. | was looking at him in a brief pause. Then | got up almost subconsciously and went
into the bathroom.
The watering out of the shower-head wasn’t warm yet, but | already stood under the shower and
rinsed myself madly.
Dennis knocked on the door outside the bathroom. His voice was low butmanding, “ra,e
on out!”
| pursed my lips, still feeling uneasy in my heart. | took a deep breath, and squatted on the ground, with
my body in my arms.
My tears were running down like a broken thread - | was broken and lost control of my feelings.
Perhaps after thest incident, he had changed the lock of the bathroom door in advance - Even when
it was locked from the inside, he could open it
from the outside.
He came in and turned the shower head off. He looked down at me, his eyes were red in worries.
| buried my head between my legs and said in desperation, “I can''t take it anymore - | can’t get over it, |
just can''t! | can''t let go!”
Dennis squatted by my side, raised his hand to smooth my messy hair, and sighed slightly, “ra, you
can''t live in the past forever. Things don’t always
go our way, either. But | am trying my best to build the life | want. Yes, bad things happen, and there will
be hard feelings, or even worse, pains. But
after we resolve those, we will be moving onto new chapters in life. You can do this - | have faith in you.
Whatever you''ve been through, or what you''ve
be, | love you and I will always do - Just be you, okay? We are in this together, we will move
forward hand in hand.”
| looked at him, with my mouth open, but | couldn''t say a word.
After a while, Dennis finally pulled me up and wiped the water stains off me with a bath towel. He then
took me out of the bathroom, ced me in bed,
andforted me, “Close your eyes and get some sleep, babe!”
He got up and went into the bathroom. After a while, there appeared the sound of water running in the
bathroom. Iy in bed, unable to close my eyes.
| felt so painful inside my heart, as if there were countless riddled wounds after being stabbed.
They were all old wounds, and they cracked open again after | took a slight breath - A dense pain then
immediately began spreading.
It wasn''t toote in night at the moment. Dennis came out of the shower and dried the water drips on
him. He theny in bed and started reading.
| had a hard time falling asleep, but didn’t want to do anything.
Awhileter, he put the book down and looked at me sideways, “What do you have in mind, babe?”
My eyes were wide open. | took a look at him and pursed my lips, “Dennis, you should find a time to
remove it.”
He frowned, “What are you talking about?”
“Ll looked it up online - Wearing a ligature ring for too long isn’t good for your health. | don’t want you or
your family to hate me for taking the chances
away from you of having new babies.
If Grandpa Freddy knew, he would hate me too!”
I knew he had done this for me. But it was such a high price. Even though our thinking was avant-
garde, we still had to pass
down the legacy of wealth and knowledge inherited from our elder generations. Most of the times, we
couldn’t do things the
way we had wished we would.
And to me, one of the ways to do so was through the continuation of life - Raising the next generation
of our own would
continue our culture and life. And it was meaningful to witness our children grow and mature.
Dennis raised his hand and pulled me close against his chest. The men’s body temperature was
extraordinarily warm, and the
scorching temperature was close to me, “ra, stop worrying about that. We only have so much time
and energy, and we
should care for ourselves and the ones we hold dear first before we could look out for so many others.
All you need to think
about now is yourself. Having another baby can wait. Take care of your health first, okay?”
I pursed my lips, still feeling guilty. Lying in Dennis’s arms, my voice muffled, “I seem to have messed
up my life and it’s
getting more and more chaotic now.”
“I’ve got you, babe. Don’t worry about it. Things will get better soon, and there will be no chaos!” He put
his arms around me,
his voice was heart-warming - Everything seemed peaceful and perfect.
The whole night, he just hugged me and did nothing else.
The next day.
When I opened my eyes, it was still dark outside, and it was probably four or five in the morning.
Dennis was still fast asleep. I wanted to close my eyes and get some sleep, but somehow I couldn’t.
So I stared at the ceiling in a daze, but the pain on both sides of my head was like it was being pricked
by needles.
I finally sat up from the bed. Dennis’s arms were around my waist, but his eyes were still closed - He
seemed sleepy.
“What''s wrong, honey?”
He asked with his eyes closed, and his voice was low.
“Nothing. I am just going to the bathroom.” Saying so, I moved his hand from me gently, got out of bed.
I went straight to the
bathroom, and afterward, I went to drink a ss of water.
There was nothing wrong going on. I just couldn’t endure my insomnia anymore, so I simply rummaged
on the bedside
nightstand.
To help with my insomnia, the doctor prescribed some sleeping pills to me a while back.
“What are you looking for?” Dennis opened his eyes - His two ck sparkled.
I pursed my lips and said, “Just looking for... Something stuff. Did I wake you?”
He shook his head, reached out his hand to pull me back in bed, “I threw those pills away. Mario says
that you’d get dependent
on the sleeping pills if you take too much. You can’t take them often.”
I mhmed. But between my brows it hurt so badly. I raised my hand and rubbed it, feeling extremely
irritated, “Maybe just
once? Please!”
Without the pills, I would break down. Every time I stayed up overnight, I would fail to control my
emotions easily the very next
day.
His eyes darkened, he stretched out his hand to hug me tighter, his thin lips fell on my eyes, and he
kissed me lightly down.
Maybe because I had been staying upte, I stopped having breast milk since yesterday. I didn’t feel it
at all.
Dennis noticed about this too. His voice was hoarse, “Let’s bring rie Bear over at night.
I pursed my lips and subconsciously raised my hand to push him away, but he pulled me back.
This action was too...
He wasying in bed, looking at me with his alluring eyes, “Can I try?”
I...
My memory of that night was nk - I had no idea what had happened.
“Hiss!”
Seeing that I went absent-minded, Dennis grabbed my hand and bit on it lightly, “What’s on your
mind?”

I was a bit shocked, came back to my senses, and immediately pulled my hand back. My face was
burning.
Thinking that he had just had an operation and the doctor ordered him not to exercise vigorously, I
shook my head and said:
‘I... I don’t want to!”
He froze in hesitation for a few seconds, and then he let go of me.
Dennis got up and went into the bathroom instead.
A series of his movements were exceptionally smooth.
I raised my eyes and looked outside, the sky was already bright. I sighed slightly, got up and went
downstairs.
My head was still buzzing with pain, and if this continued, it would eventually drive me crazy.
The sitters were on a leave. Going downstairs, I went into the kitchen and looked in the refrigerator. It
was packed with almost
everything we needed.
