Perhaps he was trying to completely eliminate any possibility of committing a mistake, so Jay brought Marilyn and Tiger over to Imperial Capital the next day itself.
The family of three lived in a tiny apartment.
The apartment was different from the single-bedroom courtyard house they used to live in. Back then, he shared a room with Tempest instead of with Marilyn. Even so, things still went well.
Right now, Jay and Marilyn would meet each other often. Even though they were husband and wife, Jay still found himself suppressing and holding back.
Marilyn thought otherwise.
She treated him as her man. After taking a shower, she wore a thin slip dress and embraced him from behind, acting coquettishly. "Darling, you haven't slept with me for so long. Tempest was there last time, so w e couldn't do it because you had to take care of him. But now..."
Jay frowned when he smelled rosemary mixed with the natural odor of fisher girls from her damp hair.
He tried his best to hold in the discomfort in his stomach and reminded himself that he was Marilyn's husband. Therefore, he had the obligation to fulfill his duties as a husband.
"Mm." He nodded with a frown.
Marilyn reached out and unbuttoned his shirt. When her slightly rough hands rubbed his delicate skin, Jay could not help it anymore.
He pushed her away and ran to the bathroom, vomiting to his heart’s content.
Marilyn stood at the bathroom door, sighing. "What kind of strange disease do you actually have?"
After a long time, Jay tottered out of the bathroom and slumped on the couch. "I'm sorry, Marilyn. Please give me a bit more time."
Marilyn nodded. "Mm."
She had no other choice but to wait.
The couple did not say anything else.
At night, Marilyn carried her quilt and went to her son's room.
A trace of guilt emerged on Jay’s charming face.
Marilyn treated him well, and he did hope to live with her in complete harmony and felicity as husband and wife, but he just could not understand why he felt uncomfortable all over the moment Marilyn came close to him.
