Chapter 21 Any Other Choice?


    The two of them were husband and wife now, but it was all for the contract, so naturally, they were


    supposed to sleep in separate rooms.


    She was never picky with where she slept, and this little sofa wasfortable enough. At the very


    least, it was better than her single bed in her old ce, so she thought she’d be able to fall asleep soon


    enough.


    But the sound of running water continued to stimte every one of nca’s nerves. She stared at the


    doorway to the bathroom, wide awake.


    Everything that had just happened was just too ridiculous.


    She was married. To a man she’d only known for three days!


    And that man was just one flimsy wall away, inside … showering.


    Realizing that, nca’s face burned.


    Everything that had happened inside the bathroom seemed to rey over a reel in her head…


    shing still before her were Matthew’s deep eyes, his hot breath by her ear, the warmth of his arm on


    her shoulder.


    He was pretty handsome, and kind to go with it…


    Thinking of all that, nca hugged the nkets to herself, buried her face in them, and shut her eyes.


    Sleep… sleep…


    Just quit your weird thoughts, nca!


    It was just that her hand had been forced! It was all to find her parents earlier! That was it, yeah!


    When Matthew came out of the bathroom in a robe, he saw nca curled up like a rabbit in the covers.


    She’d fallen asleep before she’d known it.


    Matthew came up to her, looked at her slightly trembling eyshes and her fetal form, as if shecked


    even the most basic sense of security, and his heart softened.


    The following morning, nca woke up and found herself sleeping in a bed.

    She sat bolt upright, looked to the side, and found Matthew next to her, also opening his eyes just now.


    “Wh-wh-wh-why are you in bed too?” Wait, that wasn’t right. “I mean, why am I in bed!”


    Matthew sat up, got dressed, all while grinning teasingly at her. “I didn’t think you’d be so active either.”


    nca’s head thrummed and she thought back to the scattered memories ofst night.


    It had been cold in the small hours, so after she went to the toilet, she’d gone back and went to bed.


    Went to the bed…


    And in the haze, she remembered someone wrapping his arms around her.


    Oh dear…


    Thinking of all that, nca wanted to find a hole in the ground.


    Crawl into it.


    And die.


    Stealing a nce at Matthew, that bastard had gotten up as if nothing had happened, and started


    putting his clothes on.


    Just from that stolen nce, though, nca saw his clearly defined abs, with eight chunks…


    “Like what you see?”


    Matthew said out of nowhere, which had nca even more flustered as she looked away.


    “It’s not much to look at. Hmph.”


    “Hurry up and wash, then go down for breakfast. The old man doesn’t like people who sleep in.”


    “Sure.” nca’s head was buzzing as she bent her head, put on her slippers, and went into the


    bathroom with her face red, starting to wash hurriedly.


    Afterwards, nca and Matthew both went downstairs, and the family ate a regr breakfast before


    Matthew took nca back.


    The minute she got back, nca slumped in the living room sofa, sighing a long sigh.


    It wasn’t that she was used to living here, butpared to dealing with arge family and ying the


    good wife, she liked it better here after all.


    nca took her high heels off and craned her neck up at Matthew. “I’ve met your parentswith you, so


    when are you going to take me to meet your teacher?”
