If Ashley was not pregnant, Andrew wouldn't have to control his sexual drive.
But now, he had to be considerate of the child in Ashley's womb.
He was constantly reminded of what the doctor had told him, so he took a deep breath.
He slowly opened Ashley's clasped hands and murmured, "It's really hard to always have to control myself. It feels like I'm going to die very soon."
Then, he walked into the bathroom.
Upon entering, the door behind him closed with a thud. One couldn't tell if Andrew was upset or not.
But, he too was surprised when he heard the loud noise. He figured that he had closed it a little too forcefully.
But in truth, he was a little annoyed. He did wonder if Ashley was awakened because of it.
After a brief moment, Andrew put all of those thoughts behind him.
There was something more important that he needed to do at that moment.
Back in the room, Ashley was startled by the sound, completely waking her up. Even though her vision was still a little hazy, she didn't find anything unusual when she looked around.
It felt like someone had been by her side and was just talking to her while holding her.
Was it just a dream? Was it simply her illusion? Was she remembering something else?
Ashley couldn't help but ask a lot of questions in her head.
But it couldn't just be a dream, illusion, or a memory. The touch felt so real.
Ashley turned around and noticed that the door of the bathroom was closed. She remembered that after taking a shower, she had kept that door open. Why was it closed now?
Ashley was a little confused.
While thinking of the noise she had just heard, she got up from the bed. Then, with careful steps, she walked to the bathroom and knocked on the door.
"Andy, are you in there?"
But she couldn't hear anything from the inside. Ashley didn't know how long it took but Andrew replied in a low voice, "Uh-huh."
Ashley was a little surprised that Andrew's voice sounded a little different.
But she didn't think too much about it. She was satisfied that she found out what happened to the door.
"Take your time. I'll wait for you in bed."
Inside the bathroom, Andrew had just released his sexual urges. But when he heard Ashley's voice, he became aroused again.
Thus, he had to start from the beginning to suppress his sexual desires once more.
Andrew sighed when he realized this.
He even gritted his teeth in frustration.
In his mind, he kept complaining that Ashley was pregnant at this time.
It was becoming really hard for Andrew to control his lust for his wife.
As time passed, Ashley's belly would become bigger and bigger. By then, it would be completely impossible to be intimate with her. When that time came, Andrew would certainly become more frustrated. He might even reach his threshold. However, he had not realized this yet.
What he was facing now was just the tip of the iceberg compared with what was about to come in the future.
Back in their bedroom, Ashley had decided not to go back to sleep until Andrew came out of the bathroom. He had just come back and she was not sleepy anymore, so it wouldn't hurt to wait for her husband.
But even after she had been waiting in bed for so long, Andrew still didn't come out
Ashley was becoming a little impatient.
He would usually finish taking a shower very quickly. Why was he taking so long now?
While Ashley was lost in her own thoughts, the bathroom door opened.
Andrew, who was only wrapped in a bath towel, came out.
He just took a cold shower and didn't wash his hair, so he didn't need to dry his hair right then.
When Ashley heard the door open, she turned around and saw Andrew walking towards her.
"Andy, you're done showering?"
"Yeah."
"Are you cold? Come here with me."
Ashley lifted a corner of the blanket. She was particularly susceptible to cold, so she only lifted a small corner for him.
Andrew didn't hesitate and right away, placed himself into the space which Ashley had prepared for him.
Indeed, his body was freezing a little.
Ashley subconsciously shivered.
