Pfft! Charlotte couldn't contain her laughter. "Why are you so cute? You're so silly."
"Am I wrong?" Zachary frowned, unaware if he had done something he shouldn't have.
"No. I just think you're cute," Charlotte answered as she held his face. "If only you were like this all the time!"
She suddenly realized how charming the man was when he didn't lose his temper.
"I just don't want to see you looking like you're about to die." Zachary looked away and handed her the glass. "You can drink it now."
"Thanks!" Charlotte carefully took the glass and began to drink slowly.
The hospital in the countryside wasn't too well-equipped, and she didn't take good care of herself after giving birth to the three children. That was why she had many health issues until now and often suffered from menstrual cramps.
During her menstrual cycle, Mrs. Berry would usually boil her some ginger tea too. Drinking it helped to warm her up, which helped to relieve her cramps.
I thought he'd be mad at me just because it came earlier this month, but instead, he's taking such good care of me.
The warmth she felt in her heart-along with that from the ginger tea-made her feel nothing but bliss.
After finishing her tea, Charlotte licked her lips.
Feeling much better now, she attempted to get up to put the glass away.
Instead, Zachary took the glass straight from her hand and put it aside before grabbing a piece of tissue to wipe her lips with it.
Charlotte froze on the spot. The way he did it seemed so natural.
But to her, it felt like a complete surprise.
"Let's go to sleep now." Zachary lifted the blanket, lay down, and pulled her into his arms.
Charlotte buried her face in his neck, with her long, flowing hair splayed out all over the pillow and her soft, silky skin pressing onto his body.
Such a position and act brought the two closer in an instant.
With his hand gently caressing her shoulder, the man couldn't help but kiss her forehead, but soon figured that it wasn't enough. So, he held her face and brought her closer.
Then, he gently planted kisses all over her eyelids, nose, earlobes, and lips.
