No Sex for Six Years Because of Her? I'm Done novel Chapter 360

Chapter 360 The Morning After

“Warm?” Lily clearly didn’t buy that official answer. Her eyes began to scan Amelia’s exposed neck and collarbone, like a strict teacher checking homework.

She looked for a long moment but found nothing suspicious.

Lowering her voice, Lily whispered in disbelief, “No way, Amelia. Are you telling me you two just slept normally last night?”

The words took a few seconds to sink in. When Amelia finally understood what Lily meant, her face turned bright red.

Without thinking, she blurted out, “Well, what else would we do? So you guys … didn’t sleep normally?”

The moment the words left her mouth, she regretted them. She wanted clean off.

ite her tongue

Lily didn’t seem embarrassed at all. She nodded like it was the most natural thing in the world.

“Of course,” she said calmly, lifting her glass of milk for a sip. “We’re legally married. That’s pretty normal, right?”

Lily’s easy confidence only made Amelia feel more awkward.

She wished she could swallow her question and rewind time.

She picked up her bowl of oatmeal and took a couple of big bites, hoping food would shut her mouth.

“We just started dating,” she muttered, trying to defend herself and Mason. “Don’t read too much into it.”

For the rest of breakfast, Amelia kept her head down, pretending to focus on her grits. Still, she couldn’t stop herself from catching bits of conversation between the two men beside her or noticing Lily’s playful glances now and then.

At last, breakfast was over. After a quick cleanup, they followed the original plan and got ready to drive around the lake.

“Mason, do you want to take the first shift?” Tim asked, tossing him the car keys.

Mason raised a hand and caught them neatly, but he didn’t head for the driver’s seat right away.

He rubbed the center of his brow. He looked tired, so tired that even his voice sounded lower

and rougher than usual.

“You drive,” he said. “I didn’t sleep well last night.”

That immediately caught Lily’s attention.

She leaned an arm on Tim’s shoulder and looked at Mason with a grin, clearly enjoying herself. “Oh? Didn’t sleep well? What happened? Did Amelia not let you sleep? That’s strange. She just told me she slept great.”

She stressed the words “slept great” on purpose.

Amelia dropped her head, guilt washing over her.

She slept well because he didn’t. That was the truth.

She was panicking inside, sure Mason would brush it off with some ex him grunt quietly.

Instead, she heard

He glanced at Amelia’s burning red ears, then looked back at Lily, completely calm.

“Yes,” he said simply. “She slept well. I didn’t.”

Tim wore an expression that said, she got it and was full of knowing amusement. Lily just laughed even harder.

Mason didn’t give them any chance to keep teasing. He walked straight to the car, pulled open the back door, and said to Amelia, “Get in.” Then he climbed in first.

Amelia felt like she had been saved. She hurried after him and slipped into the car.

The car started smoothly. Up front, Tim and Lily chatted on and off, their voices relaxed. But the back seat felt unusually quiet.

Amelia sat up straight, tense. She stared out the window at the scenery rushing past, doing her best to make herself seem invisible.

Not long after the car left the town, the man beside her suddenly moved.

“Come closer.”

Before Amelia could react, she felt her shoulder sink as a warm head leaned against her.

He really did seem tired. Almost the moment he rested there, he adjusted into a comfortable position, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

Amelia could feel Lily’s knowing, teasing glance reflected in the rearview mirror.

Given the situation, his tired look, and the way he slept peacefully on her shoulder, if Lily hadn’t already forced the truth out of Amelia earlier, she might have truly suspected that Mason had overdone it the night before and worn himself out.

Amelia’s cheeks stayed hot, but she didn’t dare move at all, afraid she might disturb his rare moment of rest.

The road circling the lake was beautiful. Even under gray skies, the wide lake looked deep and calm.

But Amelia couldn’t focus on it.

All her attention was on her right shoulder.

At first, it felt like a sweet burden.

Feeling his weight and his complete trust, her heart filled with warmth, like it had been soaked in honey.

But as time passed, the sweetness slowly turned into a dull ache.

Mason slept deeply through the first half of the lakeside drive.

His steady breathing was right by her ear. Each warm breath brushed against her neck, making it tickle and tingle.

Amelia felt as if her right shoulder and entire arm were about to go numb.

Just when she thought she couldn’t hold on any longer, the weight on her shoulder suddenly lifted.
