Hearing her, Jimmy's body went stiff. As soon as he got closer to Ariah, she would push him away with all her might and give him a dark look.
So he had to give her some space.
After a while, Ariah stopped resisting and slowly slid into the water. Hurriedly, Jimmy reached out to catch her.
Fortunately, she didn't push him away this time.
"Ariah?"
Jimmy called out her name softly, but she only leaned against his chest and said nothing.
It seemed that she was getting sleepy now.
Seeing that, he pursed his thin lips and washed her body silently. But she wasn't being cooperative at all. Halfway through the bath, she began to struggle in his arms, lighting up the fire on him.
"Stop moving around!"
He reprimanded in a low voice and she finally behaved herself.
In a hurry, he finished the shower and pulled over a towel to cover her body, then took her back to the bedroom.
Soon, Ariah fell asleep on the bed.
However, she wasn't aware that part of her body was showing beneath the bath towel.
Jimmy stood still and stared at her curvy shape for a long time. Finally, he took a deep breath and pulled over the blanket to cover her.
Then, he bent down to whisper in her ear, "I'll take a shower first, and then I'll come back to settle things with you."
After bathing her, he was sweating all over now so he went back to the bathroom.
Ariah loved to take baths, and there were all sorts of fancy bath bombs by the bathtub, but Jimmy didn't go in there.
Instead, he went to take a shower in the shower stall.
While showering, he thought about Ariah's words earlier. Originally, he had thought that something happened to her so he checked her body...
However, there was no trace of her being sexually assaulted.
So, why did she say those words?
Was she talking nonsense after getting drunk?
But Jimmy didn't believe that it was just nonsense.
When he married Ariah, he didn't really investigate her background. He only knew that she came from a clean family and that she was a good girl.
Now, he was a little curious about what she had experienced before they got married.
Were the words she said just now have something to do with her past?
As the water poured down on his face, Jimmy stood in the shower stall with a cold expression.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a sound came from the bedroom.
Jimmy quickly turned off the shower, dried his body before putting on his clothes, and went out.
Upon entering the bedroom, he saw that Ariah had fallen to the ground together with the blanket and his handsome face darkened instantly.
"Tsk, you're making trouble even during your sleep!"
He walked over and untangled her from the blanket.
Finally, Ariah felt much comfortable and opened her eyes slightly, looking a little dazed.
"Are you awake?" Jimmy pinched her face.
Lying on the bed, Ariah turned around and felt the pain coming from down there, which she was familiar with as she experienced this every time after Jimmy tormented her.
However, she had no memory of what had happened last night.
"Jimmy, you b*stard. What have you done to me?"
Then, she felt another wave of pain in her stomach and her face turned pale immediately while she clutched her clothes and curled up.
Jimmy was frightened and quickly got up from the bed, asking worriedly, "What's wrong?"
"My stomach... hurts..." Ariah said weakly, "There are some pills in the living room..."
Jimmy rushed to the living room barefoot right away. Searching for a while, he found the medicine and came back with a glass of water. He then helped her up, and fed her the medicine.
Nevertheless, he looked quite gloomy.
After taking the pills, Ariah leaned weakly on the bed.
Jimmy put down the glass and sneered. "Will you drink this much again?"
Of course not.
She had suffered quite a lot this time.
Clutching her clothes, she tried to appease his anger, "This isn't caused by excessive drinking. It's due to starvation."
Jimmy just looked at her coldly.
"I mean it. I didn't have dinner at all yesterday, but you made me have sex the whole night. Naturally, it exhausted me, and my stomach couldn't take it."
Feeling amused, Jimmy asked, "So, it seems that I'm the culprit?"
Curling under the blanket, she gave him a pity look, as if she agreed on that.
