Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth novel Chapter 16

Seeing this familiar burn wound, Gwenda could not help but recall the memory from her previous life where she had to redress the burns of her own disfigured face.

At that time, forty percent of her face had been burned. Every time she had to go to the doctor to redress her burns, she would cry for some time because of the pain.

The doctor always comforted her, saying that she just had to bear the pain for a bit.

But she knew that such pain was not something that you could endure just because someone asked you to.

That was why Gwenda soothed Olivier, saying, "If it hurts, you can just let it out." because she could empathise with the pain that came from a burn wound.

Olivier smiled faintly. "Alright."

Thus, Gwenda began the process of redressing his wound. Her face was screwed up in concentration, her movements gentle so as to not cause any unnecessary pain.

Looking down at Gwenda, Olivier felt unconsciously drawn to her.

Under the dim yellow light, her eyebrows were tightly knitted and her eyelashes quivered from movement. Her lips were parted, having forgotten to breathe through her nose in her nervousness. Looking at those pink lips... he really wanted to kiss them.

Olivier's eyes gradually darkened, and his breath went dry.

He wanted to kiss her.

"All done."

Finished with bandaging the wound, Gwenda smiled with satisfaction.

When she looked up, a large hand suddenly caught the back of her head, holding her in place.

Caught off guard, Gwenda found herself staring into those dark eyes in the next second.

Her breath got caught in her throat, and time seemed to stand still.

...

Olivier stared intently at her with fire in his eyes. His voice was full of temptation. "Can I kiss you?"

Gwenda's heart skipped a beat.

Her face instantly turned red as she stared at him in astonishment.

Her mind was completely blank.

"If you don't answer, I'll take your silence as a yes."

Olivier covered her eyes with his other hand, and in the next moment, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips.

The simple, chaste kiss gave Gwenda no room to refuse. By the time she returned to her senses, he had already pulled back. 

Gwenda slumped down on the carpet, the redness on her face spreading all the way to her ears, and she was still. She felt like she had gone through a catastrophe of sorts.
