The baby contract novel Chapter 36

" Now let's get you into that bath, shall we? I could scrub you if you don't mind " He drawled 

" Shut up and just get me into that damn bathroom and no, I'm not taking you up on your offer " She managed to say

" Yeah sure " He muttered rather displeased and scooped her up in his arms. 

He placed her on her feet gently and hovered around, shoving his hands into his pockets. 

" Well? " She asked, eyeing him suspiciously. 

" What? " He asked, returning her look with an innocent one of his.

" But surely, you must have been in a relationship before " He mused, a smile playing on his lips. 

She raised her eyebrows " I thought we've gone down this lane before " 

He shrugged " Maybe, I'm still curious, I'll say. A beautiful girl like you... Being a virgin till this age, in this world we are in, it's just.... Surprising "
