The Day His Demands Broke My Water novel Chapter 10

Gavin quickly offered an explanation.

"Scarlett, while I'm at work, someone needs to take care of your paralysis. Ellie is family after all, and she's much better suited for this than a nurse."

Hearing this, I didn't respond.

Gavin Braxton seemed slightly nervous and quickly called to Ellie Johnson.

"Ellie, didn't you say you had something to give your sister-in-law? Hurry up and bring it out."

At his words, Ellie took out a jump rope from behind her and handed it to me.

"Sister-in-law, jump rope is great for your physical and mental health. You should try it more often."

But right after saying this, she feigned surprise and laughed.

"Oh, I forgot. You're a cripple, aren't you?"

Hearing this, Gavin shot Ellie a warning glance.

Ellie, unfazed, pulled out a large pack of adult diapers.

Pouting playfully, she said, "Brother Gavin, I was just joking earlier. This is what I really wanted to give her."

Seeing this, Gavin broke into a smile.

"Scarlett, look how thoughtful Ellie is. This mischievous little girl is actually so considerate to think of something this practical for you!"

While saying this, Gavin kept watching my expression closely.

I gave a lukewarm response with a low hum.

After we got out of the car, Gavin carried me in a bridal style back into the house.

That evening, Gavin personally cooked dinner, preparing all my favorite dishes.

After we ate, he knelt at my feet, massaging my legs at the usual time.

As he worked, his eyes gleamed as he asked softly, "Does this feel good?"

I nodded indifferently.

When it was time to sleep, Gavin seemed to notice I wasn't quite myself.

He held me tightly in his arms.

"Scarlett, I love you so much!"

But after I pretended to fall asleep, I heard faint noises beside me.

Gavin lowered his voice. "Are you crazy? Why are you wearing my wife's underwear?"

Ellie, however, showed no panic. "Don't pretend. You're the one who called me here."

"Don't think I didn't notice. I saw you put sleeping pills in that so-called paralysis medicine today."

Exposed, Gavin stopped pretending.

He and Ellie quickly rolled under the bed.

Gavin sighed.

"Scarlett's pregnant right now. I just couldn't bear to touch her, that's all."

Fearing poison, I vomited out every drop of that so-called paralysis medicine.
