At midnight, the chandelier stopped shaking.
Katherine heard that Marshall got off the bed. She then closed eyes and dozed off soon. However, she didn’t get a sound sleep. She woke up when Marshall lifted her to have a bath.
She squinted at Marshall, whispering, “Marshall, do you have a little crush on me?”
He didn’t say a word, but he did give a reply.
Katherine curved the lips slowly, then said in a hardly inaudible voice, “I see.”
She seemed to fall asleep, without any further reaction.
Marshall got Katherine bathed, and put her on the bed. Then he took a bath. Katherine had fallen into a deep sleep when he went back to the bed.
However, Marshall had no any trace of drowsiness. He went to the window, which was half open. He lit a cigarette, looking at the darkness through the half-opened window.
He felt retaliative pleasure indistinctly. In fact, the chat history between Katherine and Hector displeased Marshall. After a crazy sex with Katherine, now the tight obstruction in his chest seemed to be dissolving.
They had divorced from each other, and Hector bought her a ring, which was on her finger. So what? She still lied beside him now and they had had a sex while they were all sober.
Soon, a stub end was left. Marshall threw the stub out of the window, and exhaled cigarette smoke.
Closing the window, he returned to the bed, to see Katherine curl up tight in bed. He checked the wound on her leg. Just now, he had taken off the bandages after bathing her, so the wound was exposed to the air.
It’s a small wound, and he was very careful while bathing her. The wound didn’t turn worse, so it should be healed.
But Marshall still took the first-aid box, and patiently recovered her wound with clean bandage.
After that, he lied down. The bed lamp was turned off. On the large bed, the two slept on the different side, as if they had no connection with each other.
It was the next noon when Katherine woke up. At that time, Marshall had left for work. Fainted, it took her a long time to sober up.
Recalling last night, Katherine had no special feelings. She was sober, so was Marshall. Besides, it’s he who took the initiative.
From her perspective, she was not the one to blame if there must be someone to be responsible for last night.
She had had sex with Marshall for many times after their divorce, so it didn’t matter about the one more sex last night. What mattered to her now was Marshall’s attitude to it.
Was it true that men regarded love and sex as totally different things which had nothing to do with each other?
If the answer was YES, it should be interesting.
After ruminating for a while, Katherine got up and went to the bathroom in her pajamas.
Standing in front of the hand sink, Katherine paused suddenly. Looking at the hickeys on her neck and collarbone in the mirror, Katherine gritted her teeth.
In this hot summer, how can she hide the hickeys? Wearing a high-collared shirt?
Marshall! This bad guy, he must have done it deliberately.
After washing up, she returned to her room and gave Marshall a call in anger.
Marshall answered the call quickly. Before Katherine spoke, he said first, “Yesterday night, it’s you and me!”
“I know it. I was very clear yesterday. I am calling to ask whether you are deliberate to leave hickeys on my neck.”
Marshall exclaimed slightly, “How can I control myself at that situation?”
