Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 1031
“What’s the point of being alive if I don’t have you with me, though? You’re kind and gentle, strong and loving. You spoil me and you would have given up your life for me if it meant you could save me. How am I supposed to live without you?”
Her voice was light as it resonated close to his ear, as though the air itself was whispering to him. Her words were like mist and running water—there was no way to hold onto them or for him to keep them.
“Mason, if you can’t be selfish, then you shouldn’t be saying these to me in the first place.”
“Okay. We’ll be together forever,” Mason promised as he quirked his lips into a feeble smile. He raised his brow slightly as he looked at her and a somber look passed over his face as he went on to say. “I was going to say that if we die, we would die together, because you’re mine, and mine alone. But I couldn’t bear to say this, so I asked you to leave me behind instead.”

He was afraid that if he had said those, she may really think of him as selfish.
Upon hearing that, Janet broke into a small smile. “I like it when you’re selfish, and of course I’ll be yours forever.”
When he heard that, Mason froze. Then, he took her face in his hands before he kissed her hungrily.
After what felt like a long moment, she broke away from the kiss and gazed at him while out of breath.
He was pale from the effort of staying awake and he was also weak. She could not help but say, “Why don’t you take a nap for fifteen minutes? I promise I’ll wake you up after.”
She cupped his hand in her hands, her face insistent.

Mason shook his head. “No, we have to keep moving.”
“We can’t,” Janet countered. She bit her lip and forced herself to be firm. “If you won’t take a nap, then I won’t speak to you anymore.”
He blinked after hearing her threat. After a while, he twitched his lips in slight disgruntlement and quietly leaned his head on her shoulder.
It did not take long before she heard his steady breathing and by then, she knew that he had fallen asleep out of exhaustion.
She also knew that he would lose consciousness the moment he fell asleep—it was the only way for his body to preserve oxygen and strength.
Once he fainted, he could only regain consciousness through special procedures.
She never intended to wake him up in the first place. It was a lie that she would wake him up, but she did not regret her actions because she did not want to see him struggling.
Janet’s heart wrenched at the sight of the exhaustion that etched onto the hard planes of Mason’s face.
