Chapter 60


    Ethan''s eyes lit up all of a sudden. Though he''d spected on her innocence, the surprise he felt


    upon confirmation was beyond imagination.


    He ced her hand on his back and kissed her again, letting her lips loose and transferring all the


    passion onto him.


    Izzy found Ethan''s actions extremely tender. There was a bit of pain thatsted for a while, but it


    turned into a pleasure that was indescribable. She''d never felt this in her twenty-something years.


    The room was filled with a suggestive atmosphere. They cuddled side by side, and he stroked her


    smooth back over and over, nting gentle kisses by her ears. Izzy was so exhausted that she


    didn''t want to move at all. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep as exhaustion overcame


    her.


    Hearing her faint breathing, Ethan''s lips curled into a smile filled with satisfaction and relief.


    He had always wondered why his cold and lonely heart was captivated by her at first sight. Why did


    he, in such a short time, determine that she was his life partner? What could be the reason?


    Perhaps it was because she silently endured eating desserts she disliked.


    Perhaps it was because of the faint smile that yed on her lips when she teased others.


    Or perhaps it was because of her confidence and spirit when she spoke eloquently.


    After the events that just unfolded, coupled with her rigorous workload recently and theck of a


    good night''s sleep without Ethan by her side, she was truly exhausted. Even when Ethan carried


    her to take a bathter, she didn''t wake up. When Izzy woke up, it was already the next morning.


    The smooth touch behind her made her eyes fly open. Her hazy consciousness slowly returned and


    the events ofst night reyed in her mind like a movie. She had truly be a woman, Ethan''s


    wife. With this thought, her cheeks turned a soft shade of pink.

    Realizing she was still in Ethan''s arms, she blushed profusely to avoid the awkwardness upon


    waking up. She moved therge hand that was resting on her waist and tried to get up, but the


    moment she moved, she felt a searing pain and couldn''t help but gasp.


    "Shhh."


    Ethan was a light sleeper. He was awake the moment Izzy opened her eyes. He just wanted to see


    her reaction, so he stayed still. Sure enough, Her shy self wanted to escape as soon as she woke


    up.


    But she was his legitimate wife, where could she escape to?


    He pulled her back into his arms, imprisoning her tight, and whispered into her ear, "Does it still


    hurt?"


    Izzy''s face turned beet red, then she shrank back, curling up in his arms, not saying a word.


    Ethan turned her face towards him, with his eyes full of teasing, staring fixedly at her, "Does it really


    hurt that much?"


    Her soft chest pressed against his firm one, and Izzy awkwardly turned her head a bit and said,


    "Ethan, stop making fun of me." He knew she was shy, but he still enjoyed teasing her.


    Ethan touched his chin with a serious expression, his voiceced with amusement, "So, does that


    mean it doesn''t hurt anymore? I was very carefulst night, it shouldn''t hurt a lot."


    Annoyed, Izzy hit Ethan''s chest with her head and snorted, then kept quiet.


    Why did she have to discuss this first thing in the morning? She''d had enough.


    Seeing her adorable reaction, Ethan couldn''t help butugh.


    Hearing Ethan''s joyfulughter, Izzy couldn''t help but smile faintly. At this point, she didn''t realize


    that her emotions were being easily swayed by one person.


    She pushed him, "Ethan, let me go, I want to take a bath."


    "I already helped you bathest night. I know you''re exhausted. You still have plenty of time before


    work, sleep a little more. I''ll wake you up, I promise you won''t bete." Ethan emphasized the word


    "exhausted."


    Izzy felt like hitting her head against the wall. She was so tiredst night that she didn''t even wake


    up when Ethan bathed her. The temperature of her body increased a few degrees when she


    thought about being carried to the bath, stark naked, by him.


    "Why didn''t you help me put on a nightgown?" Izzyined softly, making the situation even


    more awkward.


    Ethan pinched her nose, "Your memory is really poor. I remember telling you that I prefer to sleep


    naked." In other words, he had been considering her feelings all this time, but from now on, he


    would return to his habits.


    Izzy was speechless. What kind of habit is this? He didn''t feel cold, even in the deep winter.


    However, it was veryfortable to hug him in the winter because it seemed like his body was


    always warm, much like a furnace.


    Ethan initially wanted Izzy to sleep a little more. He was aroused by holding a soft woman. How


    could he resist his own wife? The two were so close that Izzy could naturally feel it. In her shock,


    Ethan suddenly kissed her. At first, Izzy resisted a bit, but soon she surrendered, responding to his


    dominant yet tender kiss. She liked his kisses, it always felt like she was on top of the world when


    he kissed her, as if they were deeply in love with each other.


    By the time they finished, Izzy was truly tired and didn''t want to move. Her eyes were half-closed,


    she was panting, and her heart was pounding from the passion as if it was about to jump out of her


    throat.


    Seeing her so tired, Ethan suggested, "Izzy, why don''t we take the day off? I can call in sick for


    you." Izzy looked at the energetic man before her, feeling a bit resentful. Howe he was still so


    spirited? Indeed, men’s and women''s stamina were onpletely different levels. She firmly


    rejected his suggestion, "No, I just started working recently. Foresight Financial Services is also


    very busy these days, I can''t take off work right now."


    It would have been fine if she was really sick, but she was too embarrassed to take leave for this


    reason.


    Ethan found it amusing when he saw Izzy''s determined look. He had no doubt about her attitude


    toward work, she was incredibly responsible.


    "I''m worried you''ll feel tired." Izzy red at him a bit unhappily. Didn''t he feel any shameto say such


    things? Wasn''t her current state all because of him? Izzy got out of bed but her legs gave out and


    she almost fell. Then she suddenly realized she waspletely naked, so she quickly covered her


    chest with her hands, and darted into the bathroom. Ethan crossed his arms behind his head,


    staring at the ceiling in a daze. After thinking for a while, he also got up.
