Chapter 6: Sharing A Bed

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Before the two of them could stop her, Alice had already seen the scene inside the room.

The room was filled with Laurie’s scent. Her clothes were neatly placed in the closet, and there was even a cute pink water bottle on the bedside table.

It was obvious that Laurie had been staying here.

Alice smiled at Claude. “You. Explain.”

When she saw the elderly lady’s smile, Laurie couldn’t help shuddering once.

Although she was smiling, it sent chills down Laurie’s spine.

Claude stood up straight, but his eyes were a little evasive. “Grandma, I can explain this.”

His tanned cheeks were flushed unnaturally. It was obvious that he was not good at lying. He wanted to speak a few times but could not say anything.

Laurie sighed in her heart. Since it was a collaborative relationship, she still had to help smooth things over at this time.

“Grandma, I can explain.” Her voice was pleasant, and then she gently held Alice’s arm. “I’ve been too busy with work these past few days. I was afraid of disrupting his rest, so I came to this room to work overtime. You can’t blame him for this.”

Laurie appeared gentle and adorable, and her voice was sweet. Alice smiled again when she heard Laurie’s words.

However, Alice still looked at her disappointing grandson suspiciously and asked, “Is this true?”

Claude’s face turned even redder, and he nodded stiffly.

“Sigh! Laurie, you’re still young now. You’ll have plenty of time to work hard in the future. You two are newlyweds now.”

Alice whispered into Laurie’s ear, “Abstinence so soon after marriage? Not good.”

After saying that, she gave Laurie a look that implied, “Get my drift?” Laurie’s face immediately turned red.

Alice’s voice was not loud, but Claude heard every word. He cleared his throat somewhat awkwardly.

When she saw that the young couple were embarrassed, Alice smiled again. “Alright. Grandma is here today. You don’t have to work overtime, Laurie. You should go back to your room! Grandma will help you pack up now.”

She walked brisklyinto the room and picked up the water bottle and pajamas. “I won’t take the blanket. It’s such a hot day. A blanket for two is just right.”

Laurie watched helplessly as Alice brought Laurie’s things to Claude’s room. She swallowed nervously.

When Claude and Laurie returned to the room, they looked at each other speechlessly.

In the end, it was Laurie who couldn’t stand the oppressive atmosphere and spoke first. “I… I’m going to take a shower first.”

Claude nodded silently and did not say anything.

Laurie quickly grabbed her things, rushed into the bathroom, and pulled the shower curtain aside.

Click! She then locked the bathroom door.

Claude looked at the bathroom in disbelief. Was she afraid that he would peek?

Laurie washed up as quickly as she could, then dried her hair and walked out of the bathroom.

When he heard the sounds inside the bathroom, Claude felt a little strange inwardly and inexplicably thirsty.

Claude felt his ears burning when he saw the smooth and fair skin of Laurie’s calves exposed below her nightgown.

“I…”

Before Laurie could finish her sentence, Claude suddenly stood up.

He stared straight at the bathroom door. “I’m going to take a shower.”

Then, she saw him march into the bathroom with military precision.

After that, there was a bang, followed by a soft curse, “Dammit!”

For some reason, Claude’s arm hit the bathroom door. However, he did not turn back to look at Laurie. Instead, he slammed the bathroom door angrily without locking it.

As she listened to the sound of running water in the bathroom, Laurie felt her ears burning.

Even though she had been with Jose for so many years, the two of them had never shared a bed before. Today, she was actually going to sleep with someone she had only known for a few days…

In order to dispel her wild thoughts, Laurie first shrank into the corner of the bed and tried to fall asleep.

However, the moment Claude came out, she still woke up, but she did not dare to open her eyes.

Laurie kept mumbling inwardly to herself, “I’m asleep, I’m asleep, I’m asleep.”

Claude lowered his head to look somewhat helplessly at the woman who was pretending to be asleep. Finally, he sighed and walked to the other end of the bed to lie down.

Minutes and seconds passed by, but neither of them could fall asleep.

Claude felt a little annoyed. In the past, he had slept on the same bed or in a tent with his comrades, but now he could not put the tiny woman who had curled up into a ball beside him out of his mind.

Laurie seemed to have sensed his frustration. She turned around gently and accidentally touched Claude’s shoulder.

In the next second, Laurie felt that her wrist was about to be crushed. She cried out in shock.
