Chapter 46 Can we please not get divorced?
Norah hugged him tightly around his waist and pressed her head against his back.
Felt the temperature, Shawn's body became stiff.
He moved his fingers, and finally said, "Okay."
A gentle syllable.
Although it was so simple, Norah was already very happy and satisfied.
Back home, Shawn prepared the hot water in the bathtub for Norah, so as to let her take a nice bath.
It's raining so heavy today. They've been in the rain for hours. If they didn't get rid of the cold, they were likely to catch another cold later.
Soaking in the bath, Norah did feel a lot warmer.
There was a tinge of colour in her face, not as pale as before.
While Shawn took a bath, she immediately took the antiabortifacient with hot water.
Then go to bed and sleep.
Sleepy.
She was o sleepy.
Shawn went to the bed after taking a shower, and want to call her, only found that she had fallen asleep on the bed.
"Little liar!"
He reached out his hand and touched Norah's hair, his eyes full of gentleness.
She pretended to be poor that she could not sleep without him, but she fell asleep in an instant.
After four days of no sleep, Shawn lay down beside her and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
In the middle of the night, in a daze, Norah felt a warm wall.
She smiled and turned back to sleep again.
Both slept tightly that night.
When woke up, it was ten o 'clock.
The sunlight outside the window was strong, through the window, dazzling.
Norah then turned to the other side but just at that moment her eyes directly looked into Shawn's eyes.
His eyes, as always, were dark and deep.
Norah immediately lowered her eyelids and lowered her head.
There were so much matters these days.
If it hadn't been for grandpa's sudden death, they would have divorced and become complete strangers.
They were lying in the same bed, looking at each other.
It was ironic.
"Who said that she couldn't fall asleep without hugging me, and then someone falls asleep when I get out of the bathroom?" Shawn took the lead to talk.
Norah raised her head and felt more embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I'm so sleepy. I fell asleep as soon as I got into bed."
"Did you sleep well?"
"Yes."
Shawn lifted the quilt and got up. He opened the wardrobe and took a beige dress and put it on the bed.
Norah was a bit stunned. In her memory it was the first time in two years of marriage that he had offered to bring her clothes, except, of course, the nightgown.
"Get up and have something. You are weak. You must have breakfast."
"Well."
Norah nodded and took the clothes and quickly put them on.
After washing, they went side by side to the dining room.
In the dining room, breakfast was ready, full of her favorite foods.
Looking at those breakfast, Norah's mind went back to the day he asked for divorce.
That day was so much like today.
The thought of the tone in which he spoke of divorce still filled her heart with bitterness and pain.
The table was very quiet, even the sounds of chopsticks and spoons were almost easy to hear.
They both had their breakfast slowly, and neither said a word.
However, they ate very slowly in a tacit way.
Norah ate a bowl of soup for nearly ten minutes.
At last, when there was nothing left on the table, they looked up at each other.
