Chapter 595 My First Time
After a brief pause, Ashley resolutely got off of Elias’s lap.
Elias didn’t dare hold her too tightly. As soon as she struggled, he let go immediately.
Ashley moved to another sofa and said calmly, “As you can see, I’ve managed to keep the baby healthy for five months despite my eating habits. Every prenatal check–up has been good, so I don’t need you to tell me how to live.”
Elias stared at her face. She had already taken a shower, and her clean, fair skin glowed softly under the light of the floor lamp.
He took a deep breath and smiled. “Ash, let me tell you a story.”
He continued, “When God was creating a woman named Ashley, He picked up a vial labeled “Intelligence‘ and poured it all in. Then He picked up a vial labeled “Emotional Intelligence‘. He was ready to pour it in too, but then he realized the pot was already full Such a pity, He couldn’t add any.
“As a result, this woman named Ashley was born without any emotional intelligence. What do you mean I’m telling you how to live? I’m obviously just concerned about you.”
Ashley remained expressionless. “Thank you for your concern, albeit five months late, but I don’t need it.”
He had misspoken earlier. It wasn’t true that she hadn’t gained anything in five months. She had certainly gained a nasty temper.
Though, to be fair, she had always had a bit of a temper with him.
With that, Ashley got up and left the living room.
Elias followed and saw her pick up the bowl of noodles, walk to the kitchen, and put it in the microwave to reheat it. Obviously, she was planning to eat it
after reheating it.
Elias pressed his tongue against his cheek. “You won’t even eat a meal I get for you. We’re married. Do we really need such clear boundaries?”
He had already said he’d get food delivered.
“I only agreed not to divorce you, nothing else. If we don’t set clear boundaries, things would become vague and ambiguous-” she retorted before being
cut off.
Elias had crept up on her.
He turned her around and pinned her against the fridge, kissing her deeply.
r couldn’t resist.
He was a skilled kisser, especially when he wanted to show off. Even someone as naturally indifferent as Ashley c
Besides, during the second trimester, women often experienced heightened hormones and desires.
She was overwhelmed and hurriedly pushed him away. “What are you doing?”
Elias grinned mischievously. “Since the boundaries aren’t clear, if you can handle kissing me, what’s the big deal about eating a meal I get for you?”
Ashley’s expression was cold. “What? Are your women outside not fun enough, so you’re back to tormenting this old, ugly woman?”
Even though Elias was a few years younger, he was still a head taller than her. He placed his hand on the fridge behind her and leaned down, his breath a minty fresh mix of youth and manliness.
He said, “First of all, you have misjudged your appearance. You’re neither old nor ugly. Second, what misunderstanding do you have about me? When have I ever gone after other women?”
“Why else do you come home so late every night? We both know the answer, so there’s no point in asking,” Ashley said, trying to push past him.
Ellas pressed against her, laughing in frustration. “I’ve been coming home late because I’ve been busy with work. Who said I’ve been out partying and chasing women? Ash–“–
He gritted his teeth, emphasizing each word, “Our first night together was my first time. You’re the only woman I’ve been with. How could you think I’m some kind of player?”
It took Ashley several seconds before she quietly said, “You can lie to me all you want, but don’t start believing it yourself. If you keep saying things like that, your pants might catch fire.”
