The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 759

I slightly turned my head to look at Ferris's face.

His face was right next to mine, his thick eyelashes resting peacefully against his skin. His nose was perfectly straight, and the corners of his thin lips were slightly curled upward, as if he were smiling in his sleep.

The moment I saw those lips, the memories of last night came entirely crashing back. My heart skipped a beat, and my ears burned furiously.

The overwhelming embarrassment made me instinctively turn my head away, desperately hoping that avoiding his face would stop the memories from replaying in my mind.

However, the second I turned away, a hand gently nudged my face right back.

I froze, only to find that Ferris was already awake, his eyes wide open. "Morning, honey."

"Morning," I blurted out, thoroughly flustered but desperately trying to maintain my composure. I offered a stiff, awkward greeting.

I figured if I acted perfectly casual, we could just completely brush past the events of last night.

But Ferris's eyes narrowed slightly, and his smile grew utterly lazy and incredibly teasing. His voice was husky from sleep. "Honey, you still haven't given me my rating for last night."

Why was he bringing this up again?!

My cheeks instantly ignited. "Be serious!"

"Honey, we're a married couple. What is inappropriate about a husband and wife discussing perfectly normal martial intimacy? It's not like we're having an illicit affair," Ferris countered, his smile widening as those beautiful eyes curved with pure amusement.

He actually made a decent point, but just the subtle implication of what he had done caused my face to burn even hotter.

I planted my arms against the mattress, trying to push myself up. "I... I'm getting up."

But the moment I moved, a sharp ache shot through my lower back. My arms gave out, and I immediately collapsed back onto the bed.
