Bonnie felt quite warm in her heart. Nestling in Joshua’s arms, she felt so peaceful when smelling his sense.
“Do you know how scared I was at that moment? I was ready to die...”
Joshua pressed her parted lips. “Let the bygones be bygones. Stop thinking or talking about it. Do you want me to be a widower?”
Bonnie curled her lips. “You can find a new wife.”
“But you are the only one I love.” Joshua raised his wrist and checked the time. It was five o’clock in the morning, getting brighter outside. Reaching out, he wiped her face. “We can’t make the elders worry about us, OK?”
Bonnie nodded with reddish eyes. “Okay.”
“I’ll get you the clothes.” Joshua stood up and was about to get her clothes from the guestroom that Bonnie was sleeping earlier. Bonnie huddled in the quilt without moving, gazing at him.
Joshua laughed. “What? Do you want me to help you put on?”
Bonnie shook her head. “Nah. Go out.”
Joshua was speechless.
He dared not to let Bonnie stay alone in a room.
He stood next to the bed and said, “We’re going to be a legal couple today. Do you mind me looking at you?”
Bonnie knew that he was worried about her. She answered, “I didn’t mean that.”
She was quite strong and optimistic, so she didn’t mean to let him keep comforting her. She decided to forget the thing that happened earlier.
Joshua’s generousness had already dispelled the humiliation in her heart. She pressed her lips and took off the quilt, exposing her body only with lingerie. Without dodging, she gazed at him and said, “Take me to have a bath.”
She wanted to wash her body.
Joshua said, “All right.”
He bent over and carried her in his arms carefully. He didn’t have any other thoughts when looking at her.
